To quote Professor Farnsworth, I have good news, everyone!
After my laptop went and blue-screened due to a registry error last Thursday, (That's April 3rd, for anyone wondering which Thursday I'm referring to) I've been a) having to use someone else's laptop since under obviously what are their rules and b) dreaded that I'd have to shell out for a new laptop ahead of schedule. Mainly ahead due to a lack of serious money I can actually afford to invest into such a purchase.
However, fortunately when I handed it over to my dad, who is pretty wiz with computers and electronics in general, he not only managed to fix the problem, but also managed to fix my update issue, because my laptop for the last 10 months refused to update. Apparently somehow I'd managed to lose about half of Windows 7 here and there. Which would probably have been around Christmas time when Firefox stopped working...
Anyway, I haven't lost any files, and I have my laptop back. It's still behind the times, but at least I have access to my own computer again. Other than that, I've been doing well at work (evaluation is sometime soon - I believe this Friday for me), and I may have a permanent job finally! So things are definitely on the up!

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

Sweet dood!
My laptop has been blue screening lately, it's kinda starting to worry me. 3 times it's happened to me now, seems to happen once a month too oddly enough... What kind of job did you happen to line up?
