Hey, what's this about having to work one day less at your job you mentioned on Facebook? Everything alright?

The economy is shitty.

My company basically does two things: we advise on technical installations and we advise on building physics. I do the latter. There's hardly any work in that field at the moment, though. So all the building physics people have been asked to think about ways to either make more money or cut the costs (which basically means: could you work less?). Since there's a fuckload of work in the other field, I'm trying to make it so that I'll work 1 or 2 days on the installations part and the remaining days on my own field. We actually do need people for that, but I've got zero experience in it (and we need people with experience). They're looking into the possibility, though.

The thing is, I could try and see if I can find another job, but 1. I like it here and 2. I wouldn't be able to find any.

Well, you working installations would save them the process of recruiting someone. Also, you may zero experience but you know the company and the people. Would it be hard to train you on this? Do you have knowledge in this field?
I hope it all works out ok for you!

What does the training take?

Since I noticed I only pay half attention to TV shows and music, while also fiddling with my phone and Facebook, I figured I'll try a month without FB. Especially since I hardly do anything with it anyway.

So let's see if I actually make it to this board a bit more often.

I'm getting to the point where mainly only use Facebook for games. I try to start conversations with people yet they all mainly fall flat.

Although already over a week ago, Natascha and I saw Depeche Mode last week.

Absolutely fucking awesome.

Although I would've made a few different choices in rhythm in the show, it was fabulous. Corbijn's stage was great as well. Too bad they didn't play anything of my favorite two albums (but yeah, 'real' Mode fans dislike those two), you can't really discuss with performing A question of time, Enjoy the silence and Personal Jesus straight after each other.

I would go the Antwerp in Janury to see them again, if I hadn't seen them at Werchter this summer already.

Nice! It's such a great when you love a band and you see them live and they live up to your expectations.

At Werchter they disappointed a bit. Had more to do with the fact that they weren't really playing a festival set than anything else. At a festival there are loads of people who don't really know all your music, so if you do Enjoy the silence and Personal Jesus back-to-back, just don't follow up with something acoustic.

But last week was absolutely fantastic. Crowd went wild and all that.

I see what you mean. Also festival sets are usually shorter.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 11:20 am

True, it was 5 songs shorter (I checked

).

Still, I can't get over the fact that people really go wild at I just can't get enough, while they've got much stronger songs.

Motherfuck. The wifi connector of my iPhone gave out and when I finally figured out what was wrong I was one week out of my warranty period. Considering the repair costs (240 euro's), I figured I'd try myself. Now it finds my wifi, but not my carrier. That's even worse.

I suppose a new one is in order.

And on a different motherfuck: I seem to have an injury. My knuckle hurts when I simply but on my bandages, let alone the boxing glove. It's been over two weeks now (well, longer, but over two weeks since I last trained), I suppose I might have to see a doc soon or something.

When it rains, it pours!

Ack, that sucks! Hopefully it means something good is coming up!

How's work anyway?

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 7:12 am

Pretty busy.

And two wisdom teeth down. Two to go.

XIII · Post by **XIII** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 12:30 pm

It's a wonder you got wisdom teeth in the first place.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 1:04 pm

Just remember: I'll even have less wisdom henceforth.

MGM · Post by **MGM** » Tue May 20, 2014 12:49 pm

And the last two done today. The upper one was no problem, but the lower one was a bit more interesting. It took quite a bit of time and extra anaesthetic (twice!) and fuck, did it bleed for hours. Not to mention the pain when I took a sip of water, that I was rather unprepared for.

But it's doing well now (let's see how I feel when the anaesthetic wears off...).

Also, yes: no wisdom at all anymore. Not that there was ever any doubt.
