Good form, bad form & everything in between?

Sky King · 11-10-2011 10:17pm

I get like that. A good spate at the gym is the only thing that keeps my spirits up on these dreary weekday evenings.

thegills · 11-10-2011 10:26pm

Lads. Why all the drearines. If your in college you don't have to worry too much about mortgages, bills, kids, etc. There are many people who would love to be back in college.

Sky King · 11-10-2011 10:29pm

Like me

Or else working and rich. That would be nice too. Ah fkit sure I have my health, there's divil a bit wrong with that.

Bad form isnt the exclusive feeling of people with mortgages or kids you know.

Have to say I hated college, constant assignments and project deadlines. Very stressful. My job though, handy, pays the bills and when I leave at the end of the days that's it, no deadlines hanging over me. I can fully relax, go out, do whatever. I couldn't do any of that in college.

Sky King · 11-10-2011 10:35pm

Really? I would LOVE to be back in college - I had a great time! Nice having the few squid though now too.

Starting a new job with a company that has an on site gym so really can't wait to get back into a routine of weights and cardio

Haven't properly had a good 6/8 week program in over two years due to college and finding work after

MIN2511 · 12-10-2011 2:10pm

I'm beat!

My nana died a week today - she's been buried; I couldn't go to the funeral.

So much sh!t going on with me, right now all I want is my bed

Otis Driftwood · 12-10-2011 2:13pm

Condolences on your loss Min.

Sky King · 12-10-2011 10:38pm

I like my latest tune after giving my ears a break from it for the evening - which is always a good sign. And it's in 5/4 too. Cheered me up after a few crappy days in work.

Sonics2k · 13-10-2011 2:56pm

Sent that email.
Got a response a few days later, but she said it wasn't her and won't be making contact again.

Fair enough really, she didn't have to respond but did anyway.

On a positive note. I've recently been offered a sponsorship and a new job making Gaming vids. Tempted to take it I have to admit.

I'm only out of college a year and I know what it can be like - I cut out commuting home in final year as that's half the problem - I was only travelling home weekends then working etc and it takes it out of you.

It's really hard but if, like me, you were going out a good bit or even staying up late with mates chatting etc. - then try to cut it out every now and again as you're burning the candle at both ends - when you get a chance to recharge - grab it!

Only came back to the thread now.

Thing is I haven't been out this year at all yet and haven't stayed up once. So it's not that. Just the travelling and hours. No can do about them though.

Will · 13-10-2011 11:42pm

Ok'ish form, been going out a lot and drinking silly amounts. Cutting back big time as it isn't healthy. Got the run around from some girl, ego a bit dented. Will be back to my normal self in no time hopefully

I had to give a presentation to about 15 people today. I was pretty nervous I have to say. But it went grand! Sure bring on the next one!

cyrusdvirus · 14-10-2011 12:18pm

On a serious roll here....

Every issue reported to me today has been fixed with minimum fuss, rebuilding a few machines, it's all going swimmingly,
In a really happy chappy (which is probably annoying my co-workers) mood.

scoopmine · 14-10-2011 3:51pm

Spending the weekend working on my thesis presentation in a month. Essays due before it too. Got dropped for a final too and didnt even get a run as a sub even in the replay have no idea why. Not sure if I want to be a teacher so taken a another elective in media to have other options when I finish and getting hassle cause I dont fullfill the requirements the college wants even though its OK with the teaching council. Feeling alot of pressure and dont want want to let everyone down. Worrying about money, miss the gym and miss my gf have not seen her in ages.

Rant over!

LeeHoffmann · 14-10-2011 4:06pm

Hang in there scoop. It can be stressful when you're trying to live up to other peoples' expectations as well as your own. I felt the same a few years ago. You might feel like everything's crashing down on you at once but, as hard as it is to believe, you'll find your way eventually if you keep going. There are many roads to success, some of them require a few turns and changes of direction. You will get there. Keep your chin up

audi a4 2008 · 15-10-2011 6:56pm

oh the form is bad the last two days:mad:.
my best freind has told me she will be going to austraila for a year.
i must say the taught of it is really upseting,but im glad for her at the same time.

Just posted this in the tLL but there is too much happiness there.

So, just did a monumentally meh interview for a job I really want and can really do. Job I really want. Meh interview. Had to explain gaps and whatnot and illnesses I've had. Gave loads of utterly shít vague answers. Didn't emphasis my strengths well enough. And there's more to interview. And I had to spend a fúck-load to get here and stay for the interview (nearly E200) because I don't know anyone here and it's the opposite end of the country to where I live. And I looked wrecked due to lack of sleep. And an opportunity like this will be a long time coming again. They could not have been more meh about me if they tried. Why am I so bad at interviews? And life in general? FML. :mad::(

Didn't get this job but got surprisingly good feedback from the interview. Like a proper, non-generic, thoughtful email. Must be better at them than I thought. :cool:

Also, as of this weekend, I have a boyfriend! \o/ Things are lookin' up!

ToniTuddle · 18-10-2011 4:15pm

Finished wrapping up the wee bits and bobs for xmas

Now just gotta buy the main presents for each family member in next few weeks then can save up for a nice present for myself

um7y1h83ge06nx · 19-10-2011 10:39am

I've been a busy boy, ups and downs everywhere!

The bad: work has been a terrible pain, getting really hard to communicate with people in other offices which leads to things going haywire and morale is dropping rapidly. A "strategic restructure" which is due to happen over the next few months has people worried.

The good:

I've been trying my level best to move jobs and completed the last stage of an interview last night (even though the job is local it's been mainly handled in a foreign country hence the weird interview time) and I have another one (initial round) later this afternoon.

Also I'm heading on a foreign sun holiday for a week on Saturday!

I really hope I get that fcuking job!

With regard to the Gym and in fact all aspects of your life - Set goals/targets and reach them.

Set yourself up with a gym routine - find ones online etc - document your progress so you can see visually how well you're doing - and then you'll notice a real physical difference in yourself in 6weeks or so.

The same can be said with social stuff - save up for a trip somewhere with the missus if possible, get concert tickets - give yourself something to look forwards to and you'll find yourself working towards that date....after that set a new target.

It's what I've been practicing lately and while I'm still moody or down every now and again, it's been working well enough for me

Fair dues man - the small assignments always got cast to one side by myself when I was in college - doing them after the stress of the larger ones was probably why most of mine sucked!!

Work sucks alright but it's moolah as you say

LeeHoffmann · 11-11-2011 1:53pm

Don't know what's wrong with me but feel all down in the dumps.

:mad: Pissed off at myself for feeling this way. Also, the boss wants to see me during my lunch break...wonder what I've done (oops?)

Edit: turns out I'll be starting a new job in 2 weeks time. :mad:

BigDuffman · 11-11-2011 3:50pm

Heading out with Mrs Boobar this weekend to celebrate wedding anniversary.

Was given a nice Kindle a few weeks back as a gift, loving it. My 3 year old is looking forward to Xmas in a big way and is growing up quick, thank God she's healthy and happy.

Work going well and paying most of the bills.

All in...things going very well.

Panthro · 22-11-2011 5:00pm

Over a year ago I took the step that is deleting all contact with the ex in order to finally get over her. (After a year of us being broken up and me trying my darnest to get us back together.)
All contact bar gmail gone, kept the gmail contact there in the blind hope that some day she might for some reason make contact with me.
I'm after spotting there that shes no longer in my contacts.
Ouch.
Fúcks sake like, we are broken up almost as long as we were together and yet any time I've a few pints in me and a moment to myself, she enters my head. Then seeing that today has my heart in knots.
For some reason I really wanted to contact her once I spotted it, even though I know in my heart and soul she has absolutely no interest in me whatsoever. Someone needs to figure out how to move on big style here or else I'll never find that "Miss Right" I bloody well deserve to meet at this stage.
Grr!:(

I know the way. When I finally got wasted and realised that for the first time I had no way to contact a certain someone I was actually really happy. Unfortunately a few months later when wasted I saw she was back on facebook and I let fly. :pac:

Know exactly what you're going through man - pretty much in an identical situation.

I didn't try anything to get back together like yourself though because as shít as it is - I know it's the right move for me and her....it wouldn't be the same if it did happen, and even if it did I fail to see how I'd be able to get over it a second time around.

That said every time I see the contact in the phone I think about her - unsubscribed from alerts on Facebook the other day because I couldn't stand seeing photos etc.

It's been a year, and like yourself - almost over as long as it lasted but still think about her, what I would've done differently etc. on a daily basis - the thing is as time goes by you dwell on it less and less - you realize alot quicker that there's no point in torturing yourself with such thoughts because it's just not good for your general well being and mental state.

I think the thing about men is when we fall we fall fúckin hard - in love and breakups.

You'll get back on your feet eventually, I will too, and god help the female population of our localities when it happens

Pembily · 23-11-2011 9:50am

Well done Snow Monkey, that's great!

Panthro you will get over her, it takes time, took me nearly 2 years to get over my ex and I broke up with him! Don't beat yourself up for thinking about her, you will find someone! I still think about my ex (not in a missing way) so relax it just takes time!

You should come to beers and it will help!

Fair play. I gave em up over 2 years ago (on third attempt) and it definitely gets easier with time. Don't really even think about it anymore except the very odd time when I get a bit of a craving. TBH I can't stand the smell of the things anymore.
