I've had a headache for 3 days straight now. I can't exactly stop using the computer for long either. I'm too vain to take out my contacts and wear my glasses more often too (actually, I change into my glasses right when I get home, but it probably doesn't help that I am working on a computer for 8 hours and then working on projects right after that until midnight). Nothing much I can do except try to rest my eyes every now and then, right?
- have any codeine handy?Jnr_Madison

Everyone in my class is being all friendly and talking about their goals and stuff in their "interface portal". I may just go the mysterious route, and say, "Please click on a course title on the left to begin."

- Intelligent romantic comedy which satirises American television news.
A highly-strung news producer finds herself strangely attracted to a vapid anchorman, even though she loathes everything he personifies. To make matters worse, her best friend, a talented but unphotogenic news reporter, is secretly in love with her.Jnr_Madison

I think the two year beer experiment for me is over. The only thing that has come about, is that I realize I do like Pale Ales and Double IPAs (Flying Dog Pale Ale being my favourite). But ... I also really like shitty beer a lot more. I'm going to go back to 2 cases of Keystone Lite/PBR, and then 1 case of something random as opposed to the other way around.
I knew I was never going to become a beer snob, but this alone will probably be like an extra hundred a month to spend on other stuff.
- I honestly don't think Key Lite or PBR are shitty. They are just in different categories of beer.********
- You’re better off. Beer snobs are worse than wine snobs and, ffs, coffee snobs.MrOneHundred
- * gets punchy.MrOneHundred
- Yea, the one director at my work is a real beer snob and he actually kind of angers me when we go drinking.********

The company i contract for sent me an email (CC'ing another contractor in the process - so maybe it's not as bad as I think). We both got emails requesting meeting times today, fifteen minutes apart. The same company dumped 8+ people on Friday.
Oh well. :(
- You'll be fine. They may well be meeting with you to tell you they've reduced their size and your workload will increase...********
- Sounds familiar. Good luck.MrOneHundred
- haha... sucks huh, cos?PonyBoy
- fuck yeah it sucks.cosmoo
- wtf, I thought you were quoting PB********
- did all these companies attend a symposium on how to do this simultaneously?********

I have insomnia so I came back but I see Jnr's logged in so I'm going to go and try a bit harder with the whole going to sleep thing.
I'm a bit pissed off with a client actually, and its keeping me awake. A certain national retail chain who shall remain nameless and please don't name them want me to work the full week for a Friday deadline bit they only want to pay me the full amount if they go ahead and use the work. They let slip today that someone else is also developing ideas for them for the same thing... fair enough but they never declared that from the outset. Whenever I do work for them it never gets finished so I'm always careful about having a stepped payment method becuase I'll get to presentation stage then they'll suddenly say "We don't need to take this any further thanks please send us your invoice' and I just know its becuase they take it in-house and finish it themselves. I sort of don't care normally becuase they pay me for what I do and I don;t have the hassle of seeing it through, so it feels a bit like easy money sometimes, but to be asked today to ringfence some of my time-based fee for payment only if they go ahead suddenly seems unacceptable at 12.20pm when I really should be getting some sleep.
I probably haven't explained this problem very well but mark my words my disgruntlement is valid. I demand regruntlement, innediately.
I did a few hearty pop-pops as I wrote that last part.
- <y point being they can easily save themselves money by saying my idea isn't going ahead, and then copying it anyway.Horp
- I hate it when you all rush to offer your solidarity like this.Horp
- ONE AT A TIME PEOPLE, PLEASE!Horp
- I CAN BARELY HEAR MYSELF THINK, LET ALONE THINK!Horp
- cunts.********
- Its no use, you'll have to take it in turns to reply. I can't make top-nor-tail what any of your are shouting.Horp
- sorry, if that's the name of the company by the way.********
- I believe Skt just said 'cunts', but its hard to tell above this ear splitting din.Horp
- given my current state of mind... all i can think to say is go lay next to a family member and keep them warm.PonyBoy
- Ues, no its not 'Cunts', its the 'other' major high street retailer.Horp
- I got some lovely Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli in Cunt's food hall today.Horp
- I like your pants and sock, where did you get them?
Oh these old things? I think I got them in Cunts years ago.Horp - Is it Lidl?Jnr_Madison
- They do a marvellous range of home furnishings in the new Cunts superstore.Horp
- JNR I SAID DON'T SAY THE NAME!Horp
- FUCK THOSE ASSHOLES I WILL KILL THEM********
- It's unreasonable. Be more specific about your demands. You don't need to work for free.doctor
- Ie. tell them that they either pay you for your labour, or they can get lost.doctor

^ Why should you take a hit financially for their time-management fuck-up? Tell them you will need to charge MORE for a rush fee. If they baulk, walk away. They’ll be back. Fucks like this always come back.
