I start a new job soon as a "Community Manger" for a company that deals with some pretty high profile clients.  I'm not at liberty to share who, but it is video game related and I'm VERY excited about this.  Seems to be full time gig and at $9 an hour I'll be pulling in about twice a month what I was making with the shithole part time retail gig I have now.

Soon I will be drunk with power AND alcohol.

You got low balled, my friend.

For the amount of downtime the job has, I'm surprised that it even starts at $9 an hour.  It's a blessing, and this kind of job comes with inherent connections.  Say hello to free expo tickets.

$9 an hour

Wow. That would put you at slightly above half minimum wage here.

I haven't seen a pay slip that sucky since I was 15. Enjoy your poverty.

I'm feeling pretty ill.

I didn't sleep well. Cold sweats, then freezing cold, then boiling hot. And this morning my stomach feels like its doing somersaults. Add to this that yesterday I was really working on pressing my chest into the pool whilst I swam, my back muscles today are in bits. So my whole middle is in complete agony. I can't get comfortable and I feel as weak as a kitten. I'm eating soup now, having passed up lunch. I haven't even the energy to torment Saddam, which is most unlike me.

Also I've been trying for 2 days to send Tom Bishop to the moon, but the damn site hates me and won't let me submit an application.

remember BRAT

Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast.
This coupled with liquids and plenty of rest.
I hope you feel better soon!

I have bananas and bread. Rice and applesauce sound like a good way to make me sick, right now.

Oh and thanks.

Copypasta requires no energy.

Also, I'll start planning the funeral.

National minimum wage here is $8.  $9 an hour, plus the fact that I'll be there for roughly 40 hours a week, will be just fine with me.  Especially considering probably half the time I'm at work will be spent playing video games during the downtime.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of more than triple your pay coming into my bank account.

Sorry, can't hear you over Australia's extortionate importing tariffs and megalomaniacal government.

Yeah, but how expensive is a large pizza?

Sorry to use this place for a vague whiny post, but how come every single time I start to feel good and optimistic about life, something has to happen to make me feel absolutely miserable? Why does life suck and why do I bother? Fucking fuck.

Well life can't be good forever. It's full of both terrible and awesome.

I don't know what happened but you'll work through it just like you have with everything else in your past. You just have to learn how to deal with shit.

Yeah, I know it can't be good forever, but I don't even seem to get a damn day to feel good. Whenever I start feeling happy, whenever I finally think my life might have a track, within the next 24 hours someone or something has to make something happen. I figure I've got things wrong with my brain that need a psychiatrist anyway; don't know if I'm destined to be miserable or what. Asdgfjdky

Are you comparing that to the cost of living in both your areas?

Obviously they're not. Aussies are always complaining on reddit that videogames are about $120, completely ignoring the fact that they make more money. Cost ratio is still slightly better for Aussies, but it's not too dissimilar to our own.

I've been drifting in an out all day, my temperature is sky high now. I'm feeling a bit woozy. Why is it no matter how bad I feel, Supertails has to trump it? I'm dying here Supertails, a slow and agonising death. Please put your silly problems into perspective and stop cock-blocking all my sympathy.

Swim less, eat more. Your body is falling apart.

Fixed.

I've resorted to drugs. I rarely take any kind of medication, not even a headache pill but I just want this to stop now. Its almost 24 hours of discomfort. I've taken an ibuprofen to help with the back muscle pain and temperature. I only took 200 mg. I rarely drink, don't smoke, never take pharmaceuticals as a rule (probably 2 years since I last did) ... so this is likely to knock me sideways.

I was hit on by an attractive 19/21 year old girl this week, Hoppy. I'm oozing musk right now.

Are you talking about the one that walked away from you, after speaking 2 sentences with you?

She hit on me Hoppy, it wasn't the other way around!

Oh yeah Thork, woman hit on me all the time while working the antique shops and flea markets.  They like a man with money and knows his gold and silver.

That sounds creepy. Men who are into jewelry are creepy.

That's an oddly precise fraction, but don't you think you would be better off going for someone a little older?

I think the drugs are kicking in. If that says what I think it says I've entered a parallel dimension.

Not if you are a woman with a pile of jewelry, and don't know what is all worth. As a man with the knowledge of such things I can be most helpful to them, especially with a pocket full of money. I don't wear the jewelry, I give my wife the stuff she likes. The rest I sell for scrap. Profitable, not creepy.

In this troll argument hoppy won.

Sorry. :[ I hope you feel better soon. I had a 102 fever the other week, they suck. Just rest and sleep and/or distract yourself as much as possible until you feel better!

You have used the word "troll" incorrectly more times than the rest of the internet combined. On a lighter note, I went to a party last night where somebody was killed.
