my fingers are cold, but lappy is malware free.

Things're... good.

For now.

CANBERRA ON THURS. BOO frikkin YA.

Let's see what other chaos we can reign. Or rain. We'll see.

Oh and in other news, my seratonin levels are varying from week to week. Joy of joys.

Work... and other things

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:53:21 GMT

Let me first preface this with: I'm tired. I'm stressed. I don't care if it makes sense or not cos, well, shit it's LJ.

So, it has occurred to me that although this position was a great opportunity, now that we have a new AM, it's completely redundant. I have been bumped back to basically having... Well, nothing. So, in effect, they were using me while they were looking for an assistant manager. And yeah, now they're "promoting" me to "Bar Manager". So I get to do all the things my manager is too fucking stupid to do. Like the ordering and whatnot. Which to me says that they're just putting me in a hole they can't fill AGAIN until they choose to put someone else there. an anyone say USED??? FUCK!

Oh, and the other night I was told to stop running food because I was "Making everyone look bad". I wasn't aware that being the best waiter in that fucking place was a crime. And it's not hard to make the monkeys they hired look bad. I mean shit, I've had better service at KFC! YOU MORONS!
Oh, and that 'pay rise' I got? I worked out that I'm on exactly the same rate I was before... I'm just being paid for a couple more hours. Yay!
I also was told this very evening that I couldn't do my paperwork tonight... I'd have to find some other time to do it. Which is fine... Except that looks like being my day off. But hey, it's not like the restaurant needs stock. So, I'm not ordering anything till the invoices are entered. The invoices (some of which are a fortnight or more old) are from deliveries that were supposed to be received and entered when they arrived... So yeah, awesome huh?

Oh, and tonight as well, I got told off by both managers, in unison, for asking for help during service. It was teh awesome.

FUCKEN OVER IT

Ooh, but here comes a thunderstorm. Yay!

I is teh bets!

*Insert long winded emo post here*

I'm too tired to do anything but sum up. Basically I'm in a crappy situation of my own creation again and I want nothing more than to be happy with what I have. But that's not going to happen. I feel we're drifting slightly further each time we lay down together and don't touch... Let alone fuck.

And why does doing the right thing make you feel so lousy all the time. I'm over it. It'd be really nice if things went the way I wanted them to for once. But then I spose if they did I'd still find a way to sabotage it...

Save me.

The Vapor Trail
Random Brutal Love Master (RBLM)

Here today, gone today. You are The Vapor Trail. Are you in a relationship now?

Your exact male opposite:
The Backrubber

Deliberate Gentle Sex Dreamer

What about now?

Vapor Trails can be highly charismatic people--unpredictable, confident, and magnetic. You're experienced. You know how to handle yourself in a relationship, and many people appreciate that. Many people, all in a row.

You've had your share of blissful beginnings, to be sure. But things almost never turn out how you'd like, do they? The problem is you're never happy with someone for an extended period of time. Relate to the following:

Vapor Trails especially need a girl who will laugh at their jokes. They're also the most likely male type to be haunted by serious regret.

FACT: A few of your exes, the ones you were best to, will always love you. Nice going.

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 15:40:18 GMT

So, here I am again, fighting the urge to crawl into the foetal position again...

I can feel the black dog sniffing at my heels again. And I'm lost. I've got no direction. No drive. I have a few rocks I can grab at, but I'm not so sure that they won't collapse under the weight. This is FUCKED. I'm over it. And I don't know what to do or where to go. A little more to the west? I don't know. I'm kind of hoping that I'll get some kind of inspiration that'll make me do the whole "That's it! That's what's wrong with me, that's how I fix it and that's where I go." But pipe dreams seem to have been my strong point since I've been back here. And there's no such thing as miracle answers. It's all on me. Again. And all I can see is that hospitality, the thing I've devoted the last half a decade to is pretty much lost to me. And if anyone out there has had their dreams continually shattered, they'll know what I'm going through. It just seems that nothing I do is turning out right. I can't focus, I can't lighten up, I can't see anything but the cloud. And Calista. Without her I'd be totally lost.

For anyone wondering, I just got demoted and almost fired. Hooray, my second job in 2 months has just gone down the drain. I roxxor!!

On the plus side... I've got free time now...

So, here we are.

I have been wondering a few things recently...

1: I hate cyclists. I really really do. I know it's not really a 'wondering' and more a 'decide'... Ah well.

2: Is it possible to nicely tell someone to come down from their cross, remove their head from their sphincter and try living life away from the magical fairy land that they seem to have constructed for themselves??? WHO FUCKING CARES IF MY MSN NAME IS INAPPROPRIATE!!! IT AMPLY DESCRIBES ME. AND IF I WANT TO CALL MYSELF A CUNT I WILL. AAAAAGH. Oh, and cunt is just a FUCKING WORD. Fearing a word, or finding it 'disgusting' shows a misunderstanding, even a fear of what it means. So, do any of you have a fear of vaginas you aren't telling us about? Hmm??? And besides, it's the name of a song I quite like. So fuck off, ya cunts.

3: I was listening to the radio this morning, and some guy decided to try to justify Big Brother with the argument "Well, a million people watch it, so they can't be wrong, can they?" This got me thinking... A million or so Germans voted for the Nationalist Socialist party... Does that mean they weren't wrong? I guess since it was their opinion they can't be wrong... But that doesn't make it right. Have we suddenly become lemmings? (If one lemming falls to the sea, it must be ok for a million others to do it). I find it insulting that the Ten network has tried to summarize Australian life with a 'cross section' of society involving drugged up wankers and vapid, ugly whores. AND PEOPLE ARE WRITING THESES ON THE 'ANTHROPOLOGY' OF THIS PROGRAM.

That's just what I've been wondering today...

In lighter news, I've managed to convince Calista that learning DnD is a good idea. Lol.

Barbarian!
Victory! You scored 51!

By Crom! You're the barbarian. You're a barely controllable tornado of emotion and raw power. You want to make your own way in the world and your not going to let a little thing like reason slow you down. You have very patient friends who recognize your talents. And good for them too because otherwise you'd have to knock it into their head that you are indeed quite awesome. Your smarter friends often fool you into a rage but you begrudgingly let things slide. Afterall, at least one person has to survive with you to be your chronicler. So strap on your furkini you He-man or She-ra, you have the power!!!

¿¿Hoorya¿¿

I was just advised by my boss that as Permanent Part time, I'm entitled to a grand total of, wait for it, 12 FREAKING HOURS a week.

So I'm pleading pretty much every department I can think of for work... I even went to the little zoo we have here...

I get the feeling they want to be rid of me, but can't find a way to fire me.

But strangely, I'm in an awesome mood. Maybe it's the thought of being a thorn in someone's side... That's always brought a smile to my face.

Or maybe it's because I've finally got my life sorted for the next 5 years. Or maybe it's because I'm in a good place right now.

Going home was great, just enough time to have an awesome amount of fun, and not enough time for me to remember why I left. Ah well.

It was so great to see the old haunts again. And to those friends who I managed to see, thanks. It means a lot that you made the effort.

Ivor Snortchworth will live to see another day. And next time, he won't let a little thing like 30 ogres bring him down!!!

PEACE Y'ALL.

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

I will now be posting from blog.myspace.com/grimplewurst

So yeah, go there for details on friday night. and other details of my (mis)adventures in Hamilton Island

Peace, Y'all!

Yay...?

Tue, 10 Oct 2006 04:04:45 GMT

Well,

I've been flying low in the past few weeks, just trying to make sure that I keep everything on track. On the one hand, I have a job that's convinced I don't want to work and has acted accordingly by not giving me work in two weeks. No great loss, but it's meant that I've become something of a recluse. Surviving on 50 bucks a week is interesting.

On the other hand I've come to terms with the fact that the black dog will NEVER stop looking over my shoulder. It's been 12 months since I stopped seeing a shrink. And week to week it's been an almost constant fight to get out of bed. An almost constant fight to make decisions regarding my life and future. Which is why my next statement is going to seem a little interesting.

I've got an interview for a job on Hamilton Island.

I know I've been talking of all these grand plans, and some of you are thinking that it's just me and my delusions of grandeur. But hey, I'm going to make it happen.

I would also like to extend an apology to all who I haven't been there for in the past month or so. I realise I haven't been the best friend I could have been. But hey, the past is the past.

Peace.

So.

Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to Grimplewurst's wild ride.

Blah. Friday was... A day. I started off my last day at my old job by arriving late, but earlier than normal. He he. It was sad, as leaving a place you've gotten used to often is. But I can't say that I'm really going to miss it.

Hee hee. Then I dropped by the now infamous party. Got my shirt ripped by a very drunken Wayne, but hey, all for a good cause. Came to lying next to Katie. Scared the hell out of me. Luckily I was still wearing my pants. So that was a good start to my day.

Then I went home and showered, vigorously, then I went shopping and got new shoes. He he, yay! Then off to the masquerade party/Cluedo night with bluewater. I'm Not going into too much detail here, suffice to say that I met someone who, well strangely enough, I actually feel stuff for. Forgotten things like respect, admiration and above all, like. Oh, and Rovers should not be left with alcohol without music or DVDs or anything like that. We generally make our own fun and then some of them feel silly in the morning, right, Mel? Lol.

Here's to drunken escapades. May they never leave us.

It's late!

My day so far

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 10:25:21 GMT

Well, let's see, got woken up at 7 ish with parent's shouts of Happy Birthday. Yes, that's right, today is my birthday. Then, after they left, slept rather late, had a shower and came to work in high spirits. The good mood continued until lunchtime when my car decided that I couldn't look under the bonnet without buying it dinner first... Or something like that. My radiator overheated, I got 2nd degree burns on my left hand. GO ME. Serves me right for thinking I could do something useful.

Then into lan for a fun game of HLW... A merry interlude.

Then, back to work. Stick my hand into a bucket of cold water for 2 hours. Laugh at my reflection. It's funny seeing someone grimace and forlornly carry around an ice bucket with their hand in it. My hand is still burning. Fucking constant pain.

And then, after dinner. Left alone in bar to babysit a bunch of drunk instructors, when one of them decides to publicly give me a dressing down for apparently being rude to his guests last week. He had it in my mind to try to get me fired. For something I didn't do. I'm nothing if not pleasant to all my customers, no matter how much of a drunk/fuckwit they are. It's the unfairness that gets me. I can't do anything but nod and say "Yes sir, No Sir, I don't have any recollection of the supposed incident, but if I was in the wrong I'm sorry sir." I wrote a letter to the boss, but that won't change a thing, but maybe speed up my dismissal.

Best birthday ever.

My hand hurts.
