Not sure if many people regularly get an "Icarus feeling", as it were, but I constantly flit between feeling down and feeling like that.
For anyone not 100% sure what I mean: I use the term Icarus feeling to describe that sensation or feeling that things are going too well and soon your wings will burn up and then you'll crash and burn, bringing things to a far worse place than you started out at.
I just feel that the way things are going, as far as work is concerned right now, is a high point which is dangerously close to being too good that the negatives are going to be too monumental for me to properly deal with.
That's all I wanted to say, see y'all later~

To Nice Guys, Nice Girls and the like
Dear all Nice Guys and Nice Girls, including my past self,
Hello, I am a random member of the internet and/or your future self, checking in on you. How are you doing today? I'm doing okay, wish it was better, but that isn't important right now.
Anyway, I have the following piece of advice for you:
Please think about what you say or type or post before you in fact post it. Specifically, if you call out someone of x-gender, one way or the other, of being terrible because they wouldn't do y at your command... you are both an idiot and a massive piece of work.
Think about it, I'll start by making use of an example of a typical "nice guy" respo
Product of my own inadequacy
So, maybe it's about time I just call it, and say that I'm going to stick to softer, easier titles now. As in, I'm never going back to the hellish times that meant I had to grind away at a game until I could feel my soul wasting away to progress in it. The daily grind is a horrible, horrible point, but when it's so I can beat what is quintessentially a prologue because I fail at life, I think it's time to call it quits.
Case-in-point - most RPGs. I don't have a fucking clue about you, but I tend to either need a strategy guide or to play half a playthrough of an entire game as a "trial run" to actually understand the mechanics of everything
Thank fuck for that, I guess
So, I've been having a week off from work this week, and this morning I decided to look at TV Tropes (I know, five minutes longer, and suddenly it's 3am in the morning and where, oh where did the day go?), and I just remembered the fedora meme and the nice guy meme. And jaysus was I right in thinking that I used to a Nice Guy in all the worst sense of the term - someone who made out that they were lovely and kind and generous, meanwhile being this horribly bigoted and misogynistic bastard to women. I'm glad that now I tell people that I'm an asshole, and don't claim to be anything other than that, and let them decide how they feel about me an
Status Update Thingy?
So, it's been a while since I did one of these. Figured I should dust off the journal and let the few people who still follow me know I'm alive and kicking... clearly you guys aren't doing a good job at burying people alive. :D
Anyway, recap time:
1) Still in the same job, in the same town, doing pretty much the same thing. Though I did get promoted to Duty Manager, which in layman's terms means that I can run the shop without my Store Manager or Store Supervisor in. Effectively, I sometimes get paid an extra £2.30 odd to be in charge and have a lot more responsibility in general. -shrugs- Is what it is.
2) Hobbies... still pretty muc
