A little blurb about the person who runs ^that site:

hi my name is rose, I'm a 20 year old from denver colorado who enjoys coffee, smoking, adventures, crystals, music, wizards, art, trees, native pride, reading, entrepreneurship, walking, aromatherapy, love medicine, folklore, cultural anthropology, bicycles, sharing stories, dreams, food, nature.

Which pretty well guarantees the sites owner is a fat balding middle aged trucker from Kentucky

And so it goers on and and on. Found out today that of the 6 full timers in my department, who they told us at the start of the week they were keeping all of, they are going to cull 2, so I have to reapply for my job. As I had surgery booked for monday, when the interviews were scheduled, they agreed to interview me this afternoon. Frotunatly I felt the interview went pretty well, but I won;t know till next week.

So I go buy a bottle of Jim Beam ( on special for $60 at Liquorland at the mo ) and get home, only to be phoned by my surgeons office to tell me they are postponing my surgery for the second time, which will now not be until next friday. And of course, during the job interview, the phone call, and writing this post, we've had 3 aftershocks of over 4.0.

On and on and on it goes, when it stops, no fucker knows.

They need to prioritize.

Growler's castration is more important.

They don't take into account extended health related breaks do they?

[Dr Woomanchu]

The best news of the day was that they were very explicit that my current back injury was not a factor in the decision making.

Because if they let on that it was then they'd get a smack.

Best to DENY DENY DENY.

[Dr Woomanchu]

I've been working with these people for 4 years. They've always been honest with me to date.

That's what I thought about Massey after 3 years.

Turns out they lie/withhold information for as long as they can.

[Dr Woomanchu]

Well they've volunteered to pay those laid off , and they have cut from 218 FTE to 67, twice their legal entitlement to notice. Every action they have taken to date has been consistent with an ethical, compassionate corporate, taking necessary decisions in the most humane way possible. Until they give me reason to believe otherwise I'll take them at their word.

[Menial]

Best wishes Woohoo, both for your job and on a speedy recovery.

Which sometimes makes a nice change from the shit stories you tend to hear about other employers around the country.  Good on 'em.

/me is going to SexLAN.

Provided I can find suitable accom.

I'm so bloody thankful that the work toilet requires you to pass through 3 doors before you get to it, and that it has a window.

Sometimes I don't get to take my morning zen dump before leaving for work.

[/Twitter]

I r going to Xfran too.

Providing Rii finds a suitable motel to whore his body to pay for my motel room.

OMG I'M SO SEXCITED RIGHT NOW

you?

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

Should I go to xLan?


I have no games to play.

I might not even bring a computer, just sit there the whole weekend starring at an empty desk.

[Retardobot]

Imagination has awesome graphics.

I'm not attending any tournaments or playing any specific games. I just figured it's about time GetSome had the pleasure of meeting me.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I see you have a shiny dick.

[Emrico1]

Me too.
Its my first big Lan, I only intend on playing a little and hanging out a lot.
Really keen to meet some of you freaks.

[Pyromanik]

Pervert.
