    :pac:

    If i had a minute alone i would

    its a case of I've done so much with myself and i've nothing to show for it, and now I'm here sitting at home, with no college, no job, no form of income, not many friends, and the ones i do have are starting to make up stupid excuses, I'm trying to figure out where it went wrong but i cant see it, I can't work on my cars cos its wet out, and I'm trying to find somewhere to rent or something like a shed for them or get a group of us in on it or something, bah, life can be a right bollocks sometimes


    :(
    Whay do you want to do in collage??

    Some great moter technology courses in cit (there used be people doing that there when I was in fas/phase 6)


    As for a job....if you were in blaa land I'd suggest something like esictac (Spelling??)...though any job atal even a min wage leaves you v.well off as it keeps you busy and less time to just be around buying crap (junk food etc!)


    The dole/no job sucks beyond belief :(:(
    (I know this too well!)

    As for friends...make new better ones (that's my plan for the winter :) )

    I was in dit doing arch tech, but due to three very unfortunate events in the space of one week, coupled with the stress of the projects we were doing, i kinda cracked up and had to leave on medical grounds, if they hadnt happened id still be there, I'm still looking for a job, but there's only so much "we'l be in touch" i can take for a week, i can't get the dole till i get my p45, which is at the end of the month, even at that i dunno if i'll be able to! as for the friends, i think ill have to start looking elsewhere too!

    Can you go back and repeat??
    Maybe find a good counciller/someone to talk to??
    To not let it get on top of you!


    Though I wouldn't recommend anyone to do car mechanic apprenticeship...(terrible pay..even worse than what I do)

    Maybe lgv/hgv mechanic?
    If twoz me I'd go back and do computer science at ucd (I got the points but time I finished school fathers health was bad and anyway I couldn't afford it..dublins expensive)luckily enough I ended in a job I love!


    Do something on the setting up electronics on cars??
    It's the way of the future!

    I can go back if i have 5K which i, or the family have no way in hell making or getting, I've looked into all sorts of apprenticeships, anything with a set of wheels on it basically!

    Ah itl work out eventually as they all tell me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford


    Sneak in :P

    Though aib used do student loans (though this heaps more pressure onto you?)



    Though if it's an apprenticeship your wanting....I seen a right good one advertised for down in cork a few weeks ago!



    Either way everything works out I guess....but it took fcuking ages for me when I was younger to work out...I was on verge of emigrating (like less than a week!) when I got my latest job!

    That particular one is still going around, just has a new paint job: https://www.flickr.com/photos/10353075@N00/19619776369/

    Most of the passenger carriages are gone though, what's left has been handed over for steam train specials.

    I'm in good form today. :)

    Good stuff :) Yep, I saw a load of them in a sorry state down near the docks. Shame they're gone. It's been ages since I travelled by rail.

    I'm glad you're in good spirits. You won't know yourself with the new bed, haha. Mine is a good bit higher than the one I had previously, so it took a bit of getting used to. Have you been up to much? Any plans?

    Ah been on a few of those myself. I snogged de face off a fella one night. Back in my rampant snogging days. And we swapped numbers. Met up a few days later. He was nothing like I remembered (yes GnT goggles) and came across as the most boring man on the planet "Let me tell you more about me...." noooooooo.

    Another guy (who I actually liked) tried to make a move on me, and I more or less interally freaked.

    Haha I had a date like that he kept talking about his job and how great it is and how ****ty mine must be.

    The one from last night did try to compliment me but oh good God it came out so so wrong. He did apologise, hilarious thinking about it now haha
