Favours

How is it pos­si­ble?
He offers to go out of his way, buy the thing from me, and make me feel like he is doing me a real­ly big favour, when he real­ly should have picked it up a week ago, I’ve had to pay extra just to get it in for him, and now I’ve got­ta stay back late just to get this all tak­en care of once and for all…
And some­how I still end up feel­ing like I owe HIM one.

The end is nigh… again!

So as the year draws quick­ly and rather qui­et­ly to a close I can’t help but reflect on where I was last New Years eve, and all the things that looked rosy and fab­u­lous for the com­ing year, and then I think of just how much of all of that stuff failed, lost loves and friends, things that could of been, but for one rea­son or anoth­er did­n’t turn out the way I would have liked.
While I’m used to things not turn­ing out like I planned, it has in the past been due to a lack of effort on my part, but this year… well I tried, I did my best, and noth­ing.
So things don’t turn out when I try, and things don’t turn out when I don’t… some­one wan­na sug­gest a third option here???

Hell for me it seems.

Work for the dole

Well… I thought that sim­ple being on the dole was enough of a degrag­ing and humil­i­at­ing expe­ri­ence… but some­how the Aus­tralian Gov­ern­ment man­aged to make it just that much work. By mak­ing me have to work for the priv­eledge of not earn­ing enough to cov­er the basic bills.
So here I am, using a 250 MHz Pen­tium 2, which is the most usable com­put­er here only because the oth­er here knew what the pass­word to get into this one was, it still has a hab­bit of crash­ing just before i hit ‘save’.
I’m being forced to work on a project that is so far below my skill lev­el its not even com­i­cal, being forced to work with peo­ple that think ‘more gif ani­ma­tions is the way to imporve a web site’, and being forced to grin and bear it. Whilst at the same time being expect­ed to look for a real job, and every­one thinks that I’ll be proud of the work I do here, they actu­al­ly expect I’ll list it on my resume. To my mind it would have much the same effect as list­ing prison time on a resume…
Man… I need a job… any­one wan­na hire a l33t compy guru?
