haha weak


good way to waste a day though, right?

Was good enough to go and get a flat.
Now tell me more about this powershop business...

Growing up eh bro. Youth is great and all but +30 is much simpler

Just occured to me how much interest female nipples get and how little males do...

Sharing is caring OK.

Youth sucks, the only good thing about is that you're better looking than most people 30 years old +

Really weird thing happened in the last couple of days. Which has happened to me before. I've spent the last few days really depressed. Don't know why, my life is alright I just felt like crap, all I wanted to do was crawl in a hole and be left alone. So I spent the last couple of days at home playing super nintendo and now i'm fine. Has that happened to anyone else? I'm kinda creeped out that I can defeat depression that quickly lol

[mattnz]

It's not clinical depression if it lasts two days. You got sad and got over it, just like everyone else. That's normal.

[Emrico1]

Sometimes you just need a little cave time to sort your head out. Good work figuring that one out, took me years and years.

Enjoy every day of your youngness, because there is a fuckload of oldness thereafter.

[Tandoori]

Each quarter I spend two weeks being an absolute cunt and generally a misanthrope. I bottle a lot, and I consider these periods an emptying of the bottle.

It's good for the soul.

Did a rear-screen fit on an imported, mint condition 1961 Fairlane today, fucken hot ride.

Similar to this:

grats dude


powershop = prepaid power, essentially.

[Pyromanik]

powershop = prepaid power, essentially.

That don't answer much :/

[Speakman]

you pay for it on their site, choose the kind of power you want, and pay for it, then use it. they supply their power from multiple power suppliers, getting you the best deal.


their site is really good to kep track of usage and prices etc

except when you shut off your Mains for 3 days and they still say you used 7 units :/

[Pyromanik]

What if I can't be arsed with all that checking and prebuying shit?

[Kopfjaeger]

just set it to automatic and never look at it again

[Speakman]

this. if your place has an electronic meter, you don't have to enter readings and it will look after itself

[Pyromanik]

Unsure.
Oh the complexities of growing up.
Every interwebs in the country is retard.
Powercompanies all wanna fuck me in the anus.
At least with the gas I only have one option.

[Spork]

It's strange how different the water system in NZ is to Aus.

Although I did just get a $1300 water bill for my last segment.... (Currently under investigation as my water meter has been unreadable for the last few months which we have previously complained about but it hasn't been fixed - and therefore I'm not sure how it was read).

[Retardobot]

I am now a gainfully employed Graphic Designer.

First day has left me legless, and I sat at a computer all day.

Love it.

[Spork]

Awesome work dude! Must feel good.

[Speakman]

good shit rii

[Retardobot]

I hope I'm employed anyway, haha

Got given some test projects to do, and then I get an email this morning asking if I waned to come in and work due to the other designer taking a sick day.

I'm just waiting for the obvious "you have the job".

[TofuEater]

OK - tomorrow night, what time and where? I have to go for dinndinns at 6:30pm

[Pyromanik]

Unsure. Finish work at 5, don't tend to get home until about 6 because of traffic, so your timeline is just a little silly :/
Work in Victoria St, and there is a bar that's open down the road.

[Dr Woomanchu]

I'll be working sorry dude. won't be finished until about 2am

@pyro.

YOu don;t have to prepay powershop at all. They just debit our credit card once a month. We get around 10 days notice of this if we wish to pay by some other method.

The prepay option is that they sometimes have specials and you can buy "packs" of power at a cheaper rate which just goes toward your usage.

They send weekly emails that look like this



They have been extremely good to deal with

[Pyromanik]

Sounds good, cheers Woohoo

So they don't really have 'plans' like other powerco's?
I dunno what I should be on, never used power before (by myself). I don't imagine much, but I don't know what 'much' is... :/

[zolteg]

Good shit mate, just make sure you don't spend too long without dealing to the formalities - getting a signed employment contract is critical, otherwise you don't have a leg to stand on if things turn to custard.
