What an utterly unspiffingly funt-weaslingly poor day today has been. I woke up late, nearly missing my signing time at the job centre, turned out to be only 5 mins late and to have no queue - wow! After that it all went rapidly downhill.

I mowed the lawn, and got the pressure washer out to try and clear the nasty stain on the wall outside, but failed miserably. Watched TV, got bored, spodded, uhhhm.... and that's it. I've been sitting on the support boards all day and got a little irritable *coughs* Yeas... well if you're going to be out and out rude you should expect nothing but rudeness back - though this isn't a good attitude to take when trying to do good support *G* So in essence my day has been dull dull dull. Dull.

This new Orb remixes CD is making my night, though. "Lisa Stansfield - Time to Make you Mine" remixed into a superb chilled/trance track. "Robbie Williams vs. The Orb - I Started a Joke", fabulous. "Mindless Drug Hoover - The Reefer Song", *roflmao* What is there to say about this but - "WHAT???" The Reefer Song )

Music:: DB Boulevard - Point of view

I'm going to type out this editorial piece from today's (23/04/2002) Glasgow Herald - but I think it is a very important piece to read and understand. I am, to be frank, quite worried about the rise of the BNP - they got 16% of the vote in Burnley in the General Elections.

Imagine that - a BNP member........

It is dangerous to ignore the attractions of the BNP )

I was going to go after Voyager and NFL Europe (ugh, awful production) but somehow got sucked back. I wanted to search for something, I remember now. No, I wanted to add that last newspaper story. That's right. But that was an hour ago...

*holds out his wrist and begs to be slapped*
(oo-er missus)
Going now.
NOW!
Nope, still here... just changing my options at http://www.livejournal.com/support/changenotify.bml
OK, done.
Now to delete the emails that have been piling up....
Close my new-mail script...
raq381:~$ killall nm
[1]+  Terminated              nm
raq381:~$ exit

One last sweep of the support board and my friends page :)
Done....
*sighs with relief*
Bye :)
Mood:: 'relieved' relieved
Music:: Nuffink!

Woke up to find a letter from the Employment Agency telling me that apprently they didn't know that I quit my last job. Hmmm, I made sure they knew. Idiots.

Basically they've told me that I may or may not get any more money depending on whether they believe I had a good reason for quitting. Hrmph. Like it's not a tough enough situation as it is! *prays to his non-existant-false Gods that one of these jobs comes through this time...* Returned some forms to them, wonde rhow long it's gonna take them to process these? Knowing the employment/benefits agencies - months? Heh.
Mood:: 'annoyed' annoyed
Music:: Stone Roses - Fools Gold (TOTP2)

That http://www.livejoural.com/ is categorically NOT the same as http://www.livejournal.com/
*smiles*
(Warning - first link most definitely not work safe)

Sending away my CV for a position of "IT Trainee". I'm reluctant to do it, really. It seems like a really basic support position, but the higher band of pay seems reasonable for the position (up to £16k), and it's a 9-5er.

Hell, I can always turn it down, eh? :)
Mood:: apprehensive
Music:: Star Guitar - Chemical Brothers

When did LJ start sending out comment notification emails like this:

http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=journalName&itemid=393354&thread=1329546

It totally screws me over - my text mode client doesn't allow me to "click on a link" and it's too long to copy paste in one go. Does anyone know if it can be turned off?
