― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:17 (twenty years ago)

Tadalicious! *hugz*

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:22 (twenty years ago)

*hugz to trayce!*

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago)

So, whats everyone up to for xmas eve/xmas day/boxing day etc?

We have to go to Nick's olds for xmas day aaargh. I'd hoped for a quiet one with him alone but no!

I'd love to have a riverside picnic on boxing day. If only Melbourne had any rivers worth swimming in. We used to go to the Cotter River on boxing day... its all burnt to the ground now :/ Well, not the river itself obv, haha.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:29 (twenty years ago)

sorry i didn't get back to you the other day trayce. i didn't have my phone with me all weekend. i hope you had a good day.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Thats ok! It was so hot, not many people swung by but that was ok. I got way too drunk, as per bloody usual, and we ate shitloads and watched Pi and took the piss out of Missy Higgins on Rage.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:31 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha, Missy Higgins, hahahah!

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:41 (twenty years ago)

Who's that young slip of a girl with the harp? She's the best thing since Kate Bush.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:42 (twenty years ago)

HAHAHAHA, JOANNA NEWSOM, HAHAHAHAHA!

She terrifies me.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:44 (twenty years ago)

Missy Higgins is a limp ballsack.

― Andrew (enneff), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:44 (twenty years ago)

Isn't she just?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:45 (twenty years ago)

This Joanna Newsom, is she terrifying like Marrisa Marchant is terrifying, then? =)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:48 (twenty years ago)

haha yeah i too came home pissed on saturday night to missy higgins and her annoying necklace programming rage. i took the piss out of her to the telly for quite a while i think.

i can only handle joanna newsom's voice in moderation

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:50 (twenty years ago)

She's like Kristin Hersh a bit. Anyway I think she's GRAYTE.

Missy Higgins is OK, she really should look after her piano better in that clip though.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:51 (twenty years ago)

If she's like Hersh I'd be interested.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:52 (twenty years ago)

she had a tops gillian welch song in her playlist, i liked that.

i totally love the harp in ms newsom's music, and the lyrics, 'tis only her voice that annoys me. i dunno if i could listen to a whole album. but i do like the title of her latest release.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:53 (twenty years ago)

evening all

― bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 02:58 (twenty years ago)

*Nods* Trayce.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:03 (twenty years ago)

so how've yez been?

*nods at Trayce*

― bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:06 (twenty years ago)

At last I get to post my thread about Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer. I've had that one on the backburner for over a week.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago)

i almost made that remark on the thread itrself

― bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago)

I am getting hopelessly drunk on Xmas day, gorging myself on the fine foods only melbourne can provide and having turducken for xmas lunch. Can't wait.

― papa november (papa november), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:21 (twenty years ago)

in 90 mins i am officially off work for a month!

― bulbs (bulbs), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:24 (twenty years ago)

Mmmm turducken

http://greengabbro.net/images/turducken_b.jpg

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:24 (twenty years ago)

TURDUCKEN! Wow. That stuff looks insane.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:25 (twenty years ago)

there's a whole thread on turducken somewhere in this bitch.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:25 (twenty years ago)

y'all got TURDUCKEN down there now, too?!? jesus!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:25 (twenty years ago)

Okay, that picture has seriously just turned me off having any.

― papa november (papa november), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago)

i know that we've had turducken threads before on ILX ... i've never eaten from this legendary, um, "bird," but those who have swear by it!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago)

I used to get it confused with the diametrically opposed 'tofurkey'.

― papa november (papa november), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:27 (twenty years ago)

Yeah it was that other thread what learned me about it. I mean I like the idea of meat meat and more meat with stuffing. But I know I couldnt eat much of it.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:35 (twenty years ago)

turducken

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 03:36 (twenty years ago)

at my job, the amount of work i've had has slowed to nil, they're moving us to a different, inferior building in a cruddy part of the city, and as of today they blocked mono/m+n. the amount of loyalty i feel is approaching zero, and now that i won't have a mortgage in five weeks' time i fail to see why the fuck i should stay.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:07 (twenty years ago)

time to find a nicer place.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:11 (twenty years ago)

agreed. i've hated it here for months now, and this was the final straw...

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:12 (twenty years ago)

what sort of areas are you interested in working in?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:13 (twenty years ago)

Start a record label!

I'll be yr admin assistant =)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:14 (twenty years ago)

i'd still like to be able to eat!

i'll work in any area, really. i'm a QA tester and that's the only thing i'm particularly skilled at (i.e. the only area i could make decent money in) but the industry is largely irrelevant..

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:19 (twenty years ago)

i just informed our DG (half an hour ago) that i'm leaving work in feb to return to full time studies!! i thought i'd feel hugely relieved and excited but i actually feel really scared and nervous about whether i'm making the right decision.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 05:22 (twenty years ago)

Blimey we're all making changes this year.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

Ah contracts... wise :D

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Yeah definitely. I've got Wednesday and Thursday free SO FAR.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:10 (twenty years ago)

Sounds cool wit me.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:16 (twenty years ago)

Awright, we do it then then.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:22 (twenty years ago)

Fast-forward to next Wednesday...

Eh?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

I don't pull out of things last minute! I just refuse from the outset.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

no, I mean you seem to have strange accidents of late!

― haitch™ (haitch), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:33 (twenty years ago)

Hah! Yes that's true. This morning I cut my finger open on a sellotape dispenser.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Wednesday's out.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 05:45 (twenty years ago)

Haw!

Saturday is probly out as my friend Liv is down from Siidernee but hey I have some time tomoz, is that not an option?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 January 2005 06:32 (twenty years ago)

can we get a list of adamic "strange accidents" over the last 3 months? is it just when yr unemployed almy?

― bulbs (bulbs), Thursday, 20 January 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

Anyway I reckon Ads is making excuses to meet me because I smell or something =)

xpost heh gaz.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 January 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

Tomrrow's tight, got appointments all over the place and got to get my job hunting in somewhere in the middle. Sorry. :(

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 06:50 (twenty years ago)

Thats cool, just throwing it out there ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 January 2005 06:52 (twenty years ago)

Ja.

Wednesday's a holiday!

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 20 January 2005 06:55 (twenty years ago)

It is?! Oh blimey so it is. Heh. I wonder if Pause will be open?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 20 January 2005 07:00 (twenty years ago)

hello i'm back at work.

sucks. i might have a cry.

― bulbs (bulbs), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:17 (twenty years ago)

I started poking around on job websites and have had a sinking feeling that what I did afore was kind of odd, and I dont know how to apply it to roles advertised online. Everything listed seems hard or like Id not be qualified.. maybe I'm underselling myself I dunno. This is scary!

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:27 (twenty years ago)

i can relate. if i left here i'd be...what? was what you did really odd? did you think so at thetime?

― bulbs (bulbs), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:29 (twenty years ago)

job hunting is scary. i'm not looking forward to it but it has to be done.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

Well no not really, it was a mishmash of things, is all. I did data entry, I did customer service (followup "is everythign installed and working? ok good have a nice time" sort of calls), dealing with telstra and optus and stuff, ordering domains from melbIT, writing training documentation, helpdesk work (tho I am NOT DOING TECH HELPDESK EVER AGAIN).

I dont know if i want to do that stuff anymore... Im all awash.

xpost you gonna pike from yr job then Jim?

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:31 (twenty years ago)

oh yes. if i stay here much longer i will completely forget such concepts as 'happiness' and 'life '.

― the surface noise (slight return) (electricsound), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:34 (twenty years ago)

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FUCK.

Coffee.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:46 (twenty years ago)

*cries*

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:49 (twenty years ago)

It's the hardest bit. I know precisely what I want to do, but ads for it show up once a fortnight. I JUST WANT TO WORK NOW.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

well Trayce yr experience certainly screams HELPDESK. i dunno :( .

adam - the competition is large?

― bulbs (bulbs), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:52 (twenty years ago)

My experience screams HELPDESK too, which is the whole problem. In all seriousness I'd rather be dead than go anywhere near another call centre ever again.

Competition? Yeah I think so. They told us the best way to get jobs is by 'networking', but what they forgot to tell us is 'networking' is a FUCKING MYTH.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah a lot of what I know points to helpdesk but I'll be damned if I'm doing that "hi, I cant get my email, outlook exploder has an error" phone calls ever again. Plus shift work sucks and makes me funny in the brain.

xpost also, wot he said.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:56 (twenty years ago)

Actually networking isnt a myth, if you consider that every single job I've had has been a word of mouth friend asked me to give 'em my resume thing. I have never gotten a job from the paper or online. Ever.

So, that in mind I'm going to grill friends online, ask people if they know people etc, do some webpages for friends and family, and try and keep my head above water oooh look SimCity brb.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 January 2005 23:58 (twenty years ago)

Argh. I've spoken to people and they're all 'nah, don't know anything like that.' So it completely fucking failed in the arse for me.

I'm hoping that, once I get the next job, I'll be headhunted a few times so I don't have to keep going through this shit.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:00 (twenty years ago)

i fucking hate networking. i mean its ok if yr mates for other reasons

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:15 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. I can't just go up to a stranger and ask for information, or call someone I haven't spoekn to in 10 years and go 'hi! oh by the way give me a job'

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:16 (twenty years ago)

so, what you up to these days. o really? i'm in that line myself. nah, just taking a bit of a break really, assessing my options, yaknow...

NO NO NO FUCKING WAY

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:19 (twenty years ago)

Yer, too hard and shit. Overrated. 2/10

So job ads is all I've got.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:21 (twenty years ago)

See this is where being an online slag came in handy. Go onto IRC or LJ and say "hey I'm jobhunting in BLAH field" and people see it without you having to ask weirdoes. I dunno it worked for me - the guy at Connect who hired half of us used to go onto #melbourne on IRC and say "who wants a job our helpdesk is hiring".

My ex teamleader said she knows people at netspace so I must follow that one up.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 January 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

I think I need to redo my website and try my hand at some funny writing. Comic. And comics. I mean we is a funny buncha bastards.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:42 (twenty years ago)

Yer, it's all going to waste. I've not done any writing in months because I'm so focused on the job thing.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:43 (twenty years ago)

Why you arent pursuing comedy writing I have no idea. You should write for TV or some shit.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

Hah, like I could get a break or need the stress of getting into such a tight industry. Thanks though.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I guess it is a pretty dogfight kind of line of work.. I sometimes think about writing for Neighbours or something but so does everyone else, and besides Ive never done screen writing.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 January 2005 01:52 (twenty years ago)

JUST
DO
IT

and send it to someone

― bulbs (bulbs), Monday, 24 January 2005 02:14 (twenty years ago)

Lor lummee, I wouldnt know where to start! Ironic considering I did a diploma in bloody professional writing, ha.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 January 2005 02:20 (twenty years ago)

It's certainly hard. My husband did honours (ie, 4 years at uni) in that whole screenwriting dealy and could only get work writing commericals for radio.....in Townsville. Meanwhile cunts like the talentless Spierig Brothers are making shitty arse movies in Hollywood.

― papa november (papa november), Monday, 24 January 2005 02:50 (twenty years ago)

We should start our own thinktank or something.

Mongrelfuxor Inc.
'We have the technology'

Each of us would have a role to play, I think. I, for example, could be the teaboy.

Can we have a new thread perhaps? This one's getting loooong and I can no longer log in for some reason.

― thee music mole, Monday, 24 January 2005 02:52 (twenty years ago)

holy fuck yes...i think the secret is to be realy really really fucking dumbed down.

Oh right, the thread.
