An update on my activities

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
It's been a while since I've had the chance to sit down and write about what's been going on in my life, but don't panic, this won't be a massive, over-long post as I've not been up to much. My new job at Asda is going well, although I don't feel I'm being used to the maximum of my potential.…

I has job

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
Yes, that's right. After being unemployed for a very long time, I have gained employment at Asda, on the Home and Leisure department. I had no idea there was even a vacancy on the department until they mentioned it in the "Asda Magic" group selection thing I had last week. That in itself was pretty good fun - rather than…

Bonus

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
I spent yesterday trawling the high streets asking local retailers if they had any vacancies, handing out CVs and getting application forms. The highlight of the day was quite unrelated to that though. I went into the Fareham Co-op and asked for 40 Royals Lights (that's two packs for all you non-smokers out there). She said "Ah, that's the blue…

Forge is so much fun

Making maps is just so relaxing, really takes my mind off the massive problem that is not having a job right now. Headrush was finished a while back, and a week or so ago I finished Quadro, which is a quasi-remake of Relic, or at least, a re-imagination of it's core principles (flag up really high, go get it). Then…

Marshmallows

Posted inReflections, VideogamesNo Comments
We had a BBQ on Saturday, and after all the meaty food was consumed, we went back out to the gently smouldering barbecue and roasted some Marshmallows in the darkness. Claire had to show me what to do, as it was the first time I had ever tried roasting marshmallows. They were quite tasty! The alcohol I had consumed earlier…

Revenge of The Jobcentre

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
So, I went to the Jobcentre on Wednesday, not in the hope that they'd give me free money (I was 99% sure they wouldn't), but in the hope that they'd give me a letter that I could show to the bank so I could open a new bank account with Natwest. Jane banks with them, so it'd make sense in…
Ten years

Ten years

Posted inMusic, Reflections, Videogames8 Comments
Ten years ago to this very day, Jane and I decided to become a couple. It seems like less, maybe six or seven years, but it's been the best ten years of my life. She is beautiful, and I love her so much. I can't begin to contemplate what a horrible direction my life would have taken if it weren't…

Quiet week

Posted inMusic, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
It's been quite quiet, not only on here (which makes a change - I usually find something to write about) but also life in general. As such, I've not really got much to say. Still no luck on the job front, I've had a few interviews recently, and a few good looking prospects, but still no job to show for…

I had an interview today, part 2

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Remember this? I didn't get it. Fucksakes. It's all good though. The sun is shining, so I went for a nice long walk in the beautiful weather, picked up a couple of application forms for some more jobs, it cleared my head and my sinuses. And I found a pack of cigarettes in my bag when I thought I had…
