to work or not to work? that is the question

hmmmm.... yesterday didnt really go to plan. i didnt watch the footy, and i ended up being productive. PRODUCTIVE! i am ashamed of myself. after finally working out how to overburn on nero, the guests came. i felt extremely proud of my manhood after starting a fire. looking at the bright orange flames incited a subconscious image of myself slaying a woolly mammoth with a club. it somewhat compensated for the lack of footy yesterday because the guests were here *sigh* at least we won though.

but the real productivity came in the way of work. yes... in order to feed my ever growing budget, i decided to pursue a part time job. i called a potential student who i was supposed to tutor and today arranged to meet them for tuition in a couple of weeks time. SCORE! now i can shop... i mean... buy a tool belt... i also applied for a job online at you guessed it... MYER. i probably won't get a job but hey, the aptitude test was a real confidence booster. i did some random questions, guesed the answers and got put on this graph. one of those bell curve thingos. and i was right at the end ^_____________^ yes my head is really that big now... or was it the other end of the curve???

all this job searching made me ponder, what will happen to my sedentary lazyman's life once i have work? will all those days spend watching random television programs be forever gone? i frightened myself terribly and then reassured myself - i can always purchase a portable tv and watch it at work... or even better, work in the electrical section and hang around the tvs.

until then however, im going to enjoy the relaxation and carelessness of finishing exams and holidays. in fact a movie night is already planned with plenty of popcorn and food as well as some mahjong... even though i have no idea how to play that game, its time i learnt to be more asian.

Ah, James your poor poor thing, yet to discover the joys and thrills og Mah Jong (Pong! I mean Chow! No, Kong!). Yes, it is THE asian game to play, everything else pales in comparison. Stuff Big2, stuff Chinese chess, Weiqi can go to hell. Yes, Mah Jong...you'll enjoy it I'm sure.

Well, good luck with your job hunting, oh and er, if you can manage it sneak me out a plasma TV or two ok?
