Thanks guys.

What I want to know is...did Marijan apply for a job because he wanted one, or did he do it cos he just thought it's about time he did?

Marijan was peer pressured into it! What I wanted was a nice safe job in the administration, but it turns out it's a fucked year for that what with the cutbacks and the recession and all. The only other option was to go into private practice which tends to blow because you have to work 12 hours a day for next to nothing. Plus, I never thought or wanted to actually practice law, this was just another generalized form of education which I enrolled into because I didn't, and still don't know what I want to do...but shit hit the fan and I had to face the facts. The worst part of it was that I had to rely on my family to "grovel" (asking random people for favors is like groveling to me, but that's the way the cookie crumbled in this day and age and in this country). So, yeah, not please with how things turned out but that's real life I suppose....hopefully I'll be able to do the job I'm required to do, even though my education didn't prepare me for it AT FUCKING ALL. :\

Anyway, I was offered to do the storyboard of a long feature animation movie, which may need over 1000 A4 drawings. The problem is (returning to the "talking with people" part) I don't know if it's paid ... I don't even know who's making the movie.

I think I should be asking soon, seems I'll be working from January till July. Plus I may do the character designs of the animation. (I should stop accepting working for free, if this one is also the case)

I totally understand with regards to communicating with others but at some point you have to, as is the case with me...

I didn't know you could draw well, do you have any samples to show?

Sorry RT, I give my full respect to you. I hope things all work out.

Today was wonderful. I went to collect my iPod and they said it still hadn't been delivered cause of the Royal Mail strike. So I was pretty raging. They said I'd be getting vouchers in a few weeks (I gave my iPod in on the 28th Sept, and told I would be getting it back 10 days later this is now november obviously) so I told them I wasn't happy, and after many phonecalls to Apple, she said I could have the new model that doesn't come in 16gb, which mines was. So I got the new 32gb iPod, a deal was on that you get a case and a £25 itunes card, and I went and seen the most awesome fireworks display ever, and had the best laugh's ever. This Guy Fawkes night has been really good

My day was all good till I heard that my sister's friends saw me walking home in a white sweater and that somehow made them think less of me, I'll never understand today's youth. I don't even know why I care but, that was the lowest point of my day i guess and I found it slightly amusing.

That sounds pretty draining man, boy this job is going to take awhile to get used to.

Working hard is the only way to go right now man. The day flys, you learn so much too. It definitely takes like one solid day of landing trusses to get your top plate legs though haha. Just gotta not look down, more confidence the better too.
