― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 21 July 2005 21:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Haitch you look NOTHING like I pictured you AT ALL. I'd mumble something about a tim brooke taylor look but you would possibly hit me.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 21 July 2005 23:56 (eighteen years ago) link

no it was about, ahem, workplace relationships. you know, having sex with library assistants in managers offices, that kind of thing.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:00 (eighteen years ago) link

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:01 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah. its 10 weeks of tips. i started with vending machines in council toilets.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:03 (eighteen years ago) link

actually it was fine - just i got the module document at midday yesterday and i was interviewing all day so had NO TIME. class due to be taught at 6. got there 5-ish and cobbled shit together. then - after many room changes - it turns out they are all double booked so i had to teach in a rest area at the end of a corridor with just a tiny wee whiteboard, no desks etc.

winged it.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:07 (eighteen years ago) link

the Mountin' G0atzx0rs are Sept 14, a Wednesday night. Going from the Hoey last time to @Newtown is a big leap, I dare say we'll be able to get a sofa for comfortable viewing.

Monty Burns says "ahoy-hoy" when he answers the phone, it's yer actual Alexander Graham Bell joke.

big ups to everyone with happy job stuff!

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:30 (eighteen years ago) link

mountain goats are coming to perth too! on september 16. i don't think i know a single other person that likes them. maybe i'll have to go on my own :(

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:31 (eighteen years ago) link

oops maybe i was supposed to make that google-proof. sorry

Nice 'un Gaz, how long's the job?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Didn't "Ahoy-hoy" used to be the commonly accepted way of answering the telephone, etiquette-wise? (Years ago obv, which is another 'Mr. Burns is really old' thing)

― Sasha (sgh), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:46 (eighteen years ago) link

just 10 wks adam. or even just 1 week if enough of the fuckers get exemptions and the class shrinks. ah well. i have 3 classes - if just one went i'd be ok with it.

mountain gtse "best death metal band out of denton" is a fave! hail satan!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Cool, so is it likely to be an ongoing thing? Do you [i]want[/i] it to be an ongoing thing? :)

Sasha: Really? That so incredibly way cool, I hope it's true.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:51 (eighteen years ago) link

fucken ubb

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:51 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah - if i like it! chance of more hours next session. some casuals are doing 19 hrs (i got 6). thats, ah, thats a living wage!

anyone that has known me at all in person in the last 30 years (since a childhood trauma) knows that I have a seriously fucked up phobia about being the centre of even a smallish groups attention. i start to stammer and i sweat and i go beet red and i shake and i can't go on i can't think i can't think i can't talk... i've tried medication. i've tried certain techniques. i've deliberately put myself in situations before and fucked up really badly. but i kind of thought fuck it i want to do this i can do this and after about 5 mins i was...ok. relaxed. joking. relating to people.

its like a 30 year old black cloud just lifted. i feel like crying.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 00:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Would you believe, today of all days I have developed the worlds most enormo ZIT on my chin, which has turned fully half of my chin red :( I think I'll need to make a dash to the chemists for some makeup at lunchtime haha. I look like a clown whose nose fell off :(

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Yay! We can compare chin pus [mine broke out last night]

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:03 (eighteen years ago) link

that's fantastic gaz!!

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:03 (eighteen years ago) link

that's pretty seriously impressive gaz!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:03 (eighteen years ago) link

some casuals are doing 19 hrs (i got 6). thats, ah, thats a living wage!

Is that likely to increase though? I guess if you're good enough you'll be offered more, yeah?

i kind of thought fuck it i want to do this i can do this and after about 5 mins i was...ok. relaxed. joking. relating to people.

Wow, you must feel so incredibly fantastic right now. That really is brilliant [too much for words in fact, hence the apparently trite sentiment here yuck].

its like a 30 year old black cloud just lifted. i feel like crying.

Man that's fucking awesome, really. We'll have a drink to you tonight.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope that cloud-lifting thing happens to me one day. i just swapped out of a unit at uni because i found out a large part of the assessment is giving a presentation and i don't think i can do it.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i can only present things if i know what i'm talking about 100%. otherwise i seize up entirely.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:06 (eighteen years ago) link

[mine broke out last night]

Right! Out of me brane, now, you! ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:09 (eighteen years ago) link

haha that 100% thing would certainly severely limit the stuff i could present on. dunno if i'd be likely to secure a decent mark for 'how to find obscure songs/books/ex-boyfriends on the internet'.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:09 (eighteen years ago) link

i think the no room available shit helped. and the rush. and not being able to prepare or know what i was doing and build up panic. it was like i was suddenly just there = DO IT NOW.

gem if its really bad (mine's fucking crippling...its not coming back now...is it?) i think you need to do something. don't be me in 15 years and have to think "sink or swim"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:10 (eighteen years ago) link

And gaz yeah that is fantastic that you've gotten that confidence :)
