Yeah I smoke, but when I'm hungover like a bastard it is the LAST thing I wanna smell (I dont smoke during the day at all, ever, unless for some reason I start drinking at like 3pm heh). So smoke makes me wanna hurl, to the point I make nick go on the balcony hehe =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:21 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah see i could never do that when i was a smoker, that thing where you don't smoke during the day, or only smoke socially. i would have my first smoke as soon as possible after waking up (i.e. before brekky) and then would be constantly thinking about having the next one right through the day. i was a pretty heavy smoker though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i like to sit somewhere quiet and contemplate. i only smoke like 2 or 3 a day tho.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:30 (eighteen years ago) link

if i could do that i would smoke to this day

i have a romantic notion inspired by bill evans

the slowest suicide in history

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:47 (eighteen years ago) link

haha i suppose we're all a bit suicidal when you look at it like that!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i think yr probably more likely to die from a car accident than cigarettes

"whatever you do...don't drive"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:52 (eighteen years ago) link

to be perfectly honest the cost was probably the key factor that finally tipped me over the edge.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

i.e. not the health aspect. although i am much healthier now that i don't smoke i must say. maybe i just look after myself better in general now though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

yes...don't do anything that costs money! don't buy anything that is being really heavily advertised.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:55 (eighteen years ago) link

haha. i remember working out that if i gave up smoking i would have the deposit for a house saved up in 12 months or something. of course i never bought a house. but i did save up lots of money that i'm now squandering on further education that i probably don't need either! greedy greedy greedy.

you good capitalist gem. now you have knowledge kapital. aquire aquire aquire

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:58 (eighteen years ago) link

it's people like me that are keeping this economy strong! and building our great nation on a dubious base of personal debt!!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:00 (eighteen years ago) link

pretty soon it will be all feudal landlords and serfs...o...wait.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:02 (eighteen years ago) link

oh yes and soon i'll be a feudal landlady. perhaps i'll go into insolvency law and see if i can completely and personally ruin a few people's lives, that would be a lovely way to continue my forays into kapitalism.

no doubt one day - in this horrendous and cruel existence you enjoy - you will see a young child with a crippled leg and few toys. you will be trying to get the last few bucks off his single ans simple mum. he will be outside, looking forlorn. dragging his leg. and you will feel a twinge. a slight twinge that will nag at you. nag. nag. until you decide you must do something...

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:07 (eighteen years ago) link

...and i will rush hastily to the nearest tobacconist (leaving poor schappelle destitute in my office, forgotten at once) and donate all of my hard-won millions to him, crying 'give the fags away to all and sundry, to anyone who needs a puff, give them away quickly' and then i will bask satisfied in my largesse, waving away the frivolous whimpers of the anti-smoking lobbyists.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:18 (eighteen years ago) link

and on park benches throughout the land the poor, the underpriveleged, the intellectually challenged and the physically problemetised will sit and contemplate their existence, drawing the poisonous smoke into their lungs and thinking of bill evans beautiful beautiful music.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:29 (eighteen years ago) link

and one day, far in the future, they will all gather together and pass around a shabby hat to take up a collection. and with that carefully saved little fund they will get a lovely expensive but tasteful plaque on a fancy obelisk shaped like a packet of winnie blues erected in a park to remember their great benefactor, gem, upon which they can gaze as they inhale that glorious nicotine into their tarred and blackened lungs. ah yes i can just picture it. the obelisk plays bill evans around the clock obviously.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:36 (eighteen years ago) link

ok i gotta go to the pub and get me some passive ciggie smoking done now. have a tops weekend gaz!

Morning Mongrels. What the fuck am I doing up on a Saturday?

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Friday, 15 July 2005 20:00 (eighteen years ago) link

So I went and saw Sin City last night.

JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A FUCKING GREAT MOVIE!

It's weird, movies like Sin City and Kill Bill have made me feel more alive than any other movies in YEARS.

(they also inspire me to heights of stupidity - i started training with a bokken, or wooden katana, after I saw Kill Bill part one)

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 23:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I am not doing that on call week EVER AGAIN. Last night I was so fucking ill when I came home I had pains in my chest from stress, and I ached all over and wanted to hurl. Luckily, after doing one last late job, nothing else came thru all night and Iwas able to tuck up early with a cammomile tea and sleep very very soundly.

Altho, when I woke up this morning I had a minor panic attack thinking about how to extract myself from this work situ and my chest hurted again :( Then I fell back asleep and dreamt gunmen were having a standoff in my parents street with the cops which we thought was kinda cool until we realised they were ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IN THE YARD and one came inside brandishing a shotgun and grabbed dad, and we all shouted "no no dont! He just had a heart attack!" (I guess y'days events trigggered this), and I was a sobbing frightened mess trying to talk the gunman down, saying "dude yes I agree, single dads DO get the bums rush from the govt, I agree! We all do!"

And then I woke up :/

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 01:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Also hey Mikey - I should hook you up with my friend Dom, who has a sword class weekly where they train in sword and katana and such moves, I reckon you'd be into that. I think now you need licences and shit to weild and own swords in vic tho (I know he has one now).

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh er, Dom doesnt run the class, he goes to it. I didnt word that well.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I'd love to learn how to behead a man with one aimed slice.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 16 July 2005 04:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I should do an article on what Nick's company were going to do with Sin City.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 16 July 2005 04:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Heh weeeell. you could ask him but I dont think he'd be allowed to say, or name names: company secrets an all that.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 05:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I could do it anon, y'know!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 16 July 2005 05:36 (eighteen years ago) link

i wonder how i can get him back for the noisy sex sessions with his series of dubious lady-friends though..

pay a prostitute to have sex with him, BUT tell him he's rubbish when she's done! the resulting blow to his ego will surely cause impotence, leading to the halt of any further noisy sex sessions.

Morning Mongrels. Happy Sunday.

Hi Kate!

hoi hoi mongrels.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Saturday, 16 July 2005 23:17 (eighteen years ago) link

i said, HOI HOI MONGRELS!

what, you all too good for the net on a sunday?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:28 (eighteen years ago) link

I spent last night having a minor breakdown and sobbing hysterically into my teddy bear and pillow for about 20 minutes without letup.

I *really* can't handle this job.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:29 (eighteen years ago) link

QUIT

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Seriously, if it's been driving you to drink and causing you to cry into your pillow for a solid length of time, GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE. There are other jobs for you out there, Trayce, which don't involve such insane working hours.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Believe me, Im looking into that. They do keep promising things are gonna change soon and if they change in a particular way I want, I will stay, but only on my specific terms hours-wise (I want a contract for eg). The company is pretty useless, no one has contracts, I'm being made to do work and hours I never signed on for and so is everyone else. Even the head network architect guy is pissed off and going to quit soon if things dont shape up - and they;re fucked if me, dom and that guy up and resign.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Sounds pretty bad. What are the consequences for you of the org going belly up suddenly? Is it worth getting out sooner rather than later?

― moley, Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:26 (eighteen years ago) link

If the company went bellyup, i'd merely be out of a job, and as I havent been there long its no loss really (tho I spose I'd lose whatever super contribs have been taken off me in the 3 or 4 months Ive been there). I cant knock the fact I've gotten invaluable experience from the job - I knew nuttin' about satellite broadband before now - but the big problem is most places that'd hire me in a flash for my skills would all have rotating shiftwork :(

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:30 (eighteen years ago) link

That said I'm going to start keeping a keen eye on Seek et al from now on, and start making "change this or I am leaving" noises at work. The worst that can happen is they let me go, and that'd be a relief to be honest. If I worked that right I might even be able to get dole for a few months to tide me over with my savings.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:32 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:32 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I'm acknowledging your existence and enquiring as to how the last few days have treated you.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Sunday, 17 July 2005 05:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh. You're lovely. We went to a wedding in the middle of nowhere, I had to listen to some woman [who's so obsessively [and offensively] clean she makes Howard Hughes look like Steptoe & Son] talk nonstop for four days, I got hit on by a granny and eyed off by a 14-year-old, I'm so cold my nuts have fallen off and my wife has gone to a funeral in Queensland. How was your weekend?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 17 July 2005 09:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah dawg, I'm aiiight. Slacked off most mercilessly. A couple of brief periods of work. Had a go at designing a tattoo. Braved a bookstore to get Harry Potter. Listened to Lady Sovereign and danced around our garrett.
