But I'm not ... I've sometimes experienced fantastic reflexes in my left hand. I think it's something to do with introverts storing memory's on a deeper level. So some one's name takes a while to surface. Where as an extrovert stores memory's at a more accessible level, so has instant recall of names etc. If someone is rude to us we might not have an instant come back, but will have after the event. Or I could just be talking a lot of bollocks. |

Man ...
I didn't get that job. They haven't told me as such. In fact the 'application portal' says that the post has been withdrawn. I'm assuming I didn't get it and someone just clicked the wrong option.
Bah.
I'd like to say that ... I know that they would like me if only they could see me. If only they could meet me ...
But they both saw me and met me. I think that was the problem.

I'm drowning my sorrows with a Matcha flavour Tia Maria over ice.
It's a bit like a 'Colin the Caterpillar' flavour Baileys

My work withdraws posts sometimes.
It's when they decide no-one is suitable. So don't take it personally.
Fuck em though. Cunts.
Shoot some people in the face online.

Their loss, lazybones . Let's see whether they are going to get in touch. If you really didn't get the job and they don't have the decency to tell you then you are probably better off somewhere else. |

Look I just didn't think Lazybones would be a reliable coffee maker.
I want a coffee, not a philosophical discussion on the ethics of the coffee trade and a terrible story about getting drunk on espresso martinis.
Was it personal? Too fucking right it was.

*Totally* forgot to say.
Was flicking through Twitch the other night. Came across two guys playing Fortnite. Is it sheep & shengers I thought to myself... Baby and his brother?
Turned out they were North American and guy1 was young. About 19 I'd guess. They obviously play it a bit. Guy1 had a total meltdown/rage quit as he was fighting with someone and, *gasp*, other people were shooting at him as well. "They're not letting me fight"
I mean the idea of shooting someone who is in a fight with someone else seems a good tactic. I know sheep has mentioned shotty'n folk in the back before.
It was amazing. He was so butthurt.

That's my favourite plan.
Hide until there are 3 of us left. Then wait until the other two fight and shoot the winner in the back.
It's a viable alternative to actually being good. Very viable.

Why would I want a fair fight? I'd likely lose it.
Shenguin can confirm our tactic is to hide sneak and take people by surprise where possible.
I shot someone's platform last night to win a duos game. It was certainly a surprise to Shengers who claimed the guy had just died. It was pure coincidence he fell out the sky shortly after I shot the platform away apparently.

There was a 1.7GB update for Back4Blood. What was it? Flootin' Xmas trees for Fort Hope. Bloody Yanks. Anyway, got a game with randoms - we all died (Tids went down last, throwing molotovs at his feet). 4* lazybones. That sucks big balls. |

It's a bit like a 'Colin the Caterpillar' flavour Baileys Are we talking Colin the caterpillar the cake, the sour sweets, the cola sweets or the generic gum sweets? We were sorely tempted by the matcha Tia Maria. If it was actually matcha flavoured presumably it would be a bit bitter? I’ve also got my eye on some mint chocolate flavoured soju, but it comes at a price, in that you have to buy it. |

Evening all
Just commenced DT. I've yet to see if this will be S, M or B.
Just checked my SteamDeck order. "Your expected order availability: After Q2 2022" So maybe like November 2022? Or January 2037?
Anyway, I want to play a game. But nothing is grabbing me.
I have nothing else to say. Just hooting into the void. Carry on.

I think they are the old reliables. Can I shock you? I've never played skyrim. Well, not properly. I have the special edition ps4 digital version, but only played a few hours. Maybe I'll try again. Just checked and it says I can have a free upgrade to the ps5 version. Or pay 15.99 to upgrade to the anniversary edition. Maybe I'll grab my free upgrade.. |

I was so bad they couldn’t give me the job, even though there was no-one better. I was in a panel a few weeks ago. All the applicants dropped out and the remaining person was so bad the panel couldn’t give him the job. What goes around comes around I suppose … |

Morning all! This run-up to Christmas is a bit depressing isn’t it? I’ve had my partner arrive in the study this afternoon, in tears. There’s a lot going on at the moment, worries about work, family, covid - not worries with me though, I’m a shining beacon in the night. Anyway… TVblog: Seinfeld. lazybonesTough breaks sir. You’re too good for them. |

That's shitty lazybones. It is personal, in the sense that it's their prejudices not your capabilities that make it so. Don't let them affect your judgment of yourself. As an example: when I was made redundant after I turned 50, I had niche skills / experience and didn't give a shit about how much I was paid. Suddenly, guys who'd been trying to poach me the year before were telling me that they weren't looking for someone at the moment when they realised I was much older than they had thought. It was like I'd been released after being jailed for embezzling the company's money and machine-gunning my manager and the board of directors. If I went for an interview, it was like I'd gone in dressed as a banana, farting and angrily giving them the finger. It took me 416 applications, 10 interviews and nearly a year to get another job... On a lighter note... |

Yeah … It’s a bit harsh because I’m doing work-shadowing in their department at the moment. I know two of the members of the panel. To be honest … my heart sank when I saw who would be chairing the panel … It was someone I’ve long felt an air of antipathy from. To be fair I was interviewed for a job by three people I got on with last year and I didn’t get that one either. |
