Things that have interrupted my bliss:-My supe fires me before my final exam. Sorry I wasn't better at sorting mail and putting labels on boxes. -Final exams.-13% unemployment in my area.-People who have allergies and have to let the rest of us know how miserable they are. Please stop trying to explain what the tingly sensation in your nose feels like. I stopped listening like 6 springs ago.-The fact that someone told me they could tell I was upset because my skin was looking "yellow."Yeah, today was a bad day.

My housemates really struggles to hear his own alarm in the morning. Of course it wakes me up instantly every single f*cking time.

Rings off at 6am for about 15 mins, dude eventually puts it on snooze, comes back on again at 6:30 for another 10 mins at least.

I'm too stubborn to wake this guy up, I don't see why I should do him the favour. It's much better to find out later that he didn't make it to work till 11 am.

This guy even has a secondary alarm that doesn't do shit!

Maybe I should get him some sort of vibrating shit that deaf people use.

Cockerels are cheap.
 
Drank the perfect beer yesterday,
I did a shoot at Heineken HQ and we filmed their 'perfect draft' guy in the executive bar.
This bar was next door to Freddy's old office and overlooked the city. I was so stoked to be there.
Best beer I ever had.

Our neighbour has a cockerel.

I have been slowly training the cat that visits our garden how to unlock hen house gates with its paws.

Speaking of gardens and the like spent a very pleasant few hours clearing rat shit out of the shed on Friday night before getting joyfully drunk, waking up Saturday morning and remembering I had to cart all the bags of junk to the dump. Sitting extremely hung over in a car stuffed to bursting point with bin bags full of tarnished goods while the sun blazed on me was one of the least enjoyable things I've done in a while.

Suspect they may have found a way into the kitchen behind the cupboards now. Don't know whether to hate the fact I have an old house, my neighbours for whatever entry point they've left open, the previous owners for the cack handed job they did shoring up these kinds of things or just life in general.
 
Be careful with this - dad's best mate died of Weil's disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospirosis) a couple of years back after cleaning out a rat-infested house.
 
Damn, I've not been in the best of states but my girl has been vomiting the last few days which I had assumed was to do with the whole process but nothing more serious than that - I'll see how she is tonight and maybe get her to go to the doctor. Cheers for the heads up Jimster.
 
I wouln't leave it even that long, A*i. Serious, dude was super-fit, collapsed the same night, coma, organs failed over the next week.

Yeah think you're right, think I'm basically ok but going to ring up and check on her now and send her to the doctors. We were generally pretty careful with it all though so hopefully not had the same kind of exposure as your dad's best friend.

Add this to the list of things I owe you a beer for.
 
Yeah the compost heap I made for my non-existent vegtable patch and the fact my garden backs onto a train track 20 feet below seems to have attracted rats, as I saw one on the fence post the other day.

Gonna have to borrow my dads Rabbit Stopper and if I hit the annoyingly loud pikey kids upstairs well, that's just too bad.

Gonna have to tackle the garden this weekend, as I think the overgrown hedgery taking over my rockery has knocked my sky dish out of whack

If the best beer you've ever had is a Heineken, you've failed at beer.

sayin. Crustees who have been drinking crud light and miller light for decades try Heine,think its the best beer.

Its not even a top fifty beer for me. US version of Heine is different and distasteful to the real Dutch version anyways. I would put Amstel Light ahead of Heine.
 
definitely the time to do it.

i'm going to see hair the musical on friday. where do i go, follow the river?
 
Just done some research into this and thankfully looks like it's mice rather than rats which makes sense since I don't live in a dump and we're right by fields (Suffolk border related). Feel a bit better about the whole thing now and gonna start off with one of those sonic repellent type deals.
 
I hear you.
The company i worked for went bust. I was unemployed for two weeks and then my old boss asked me to come back and work for his new company.
So here i am sitting here wondering what the fusk im doing with my life and also if we'll be in business next week. At least i can pay my rent now.

I find that I'm spending about 3-4 hours a day filling out applications for jobs I'm both qualified and over-qualified for. Oh, the job hunt sucks wookie balls!
