It's all win.
Congratulations Goki - Both on the fact that you've reached a collection of 1500 figures, as that's insane, but also as you happen to share the same Birth date as my Father which is both concerning and answers a number of questions. :p:DQuote:

That's excellent news dude, I'm really happy for you as that sort of thing basically doesn't happen in our region at all. ;):DQuote:

In the meantime I fly out to start my new job as an assistant language teacher in Izumi city, Osaka, next Saturday, and so need to spend next week moving to stay with my sister in Butler, picking up a heap of Yen, my Visa, my ticket etc in Perth, closing down my AU bank accounts, and thoroughly washing all my clothes after living in a run-down dive with a pair of daily pot-smokers (I don't partake of it myself) for the past few months, before I head through four different major airports. I told the morons at [Retards-R-Us]* Employment Mirrabooka all of this but if I don't attend it anyway my Newstart allowance will be cut off and a noncompliance notice lodged against me - you're allowed up to three a year before you get cut off, though it might be as little as one these days, I don't know. They last for one year.
So, why is this in the Joy thread?
Because I lodge my last Newstart form for at least the next few years, and hopefully forever, on this Friday.:D
Less than two weeks and no more crippling poverty and no more dealing with bloody Centrelink for years! Sure, book me in for the next two weeks, dumkopf! Hell, book me in for all day every day for the next month! I look forward to never ever seeing you again, enjoy your soul-destroying pen-pushing bureacratic wankfest job while I'm off doing the job of my dreams!:p
God I hope they call me to demand to know why I haven't shown up on Monday...I'll laugh so hard I'll have even more washing to do.
Apologies to anyone here stuck behind the desk in the system btw, I know it's not your fault and it's just the system etc etc, but it's all so petty and stupid and soon I'll be free, FREE!:D
*Name changed for accuracy, and because as indicated above I do appreciate they're just pawns in all of this.
I've got solar panels on the 60cent rebate:cool:Quote:

Yay I got the job! Three shifts already, and I get paid on Thursday! :D
It's a company run store, rather than a franchise, which I hope means I actually have a job where I don't have to ASK TO BE PAID every week. :rolleyes:
I got my dream job today (for my current situation)!! Very happy about it, albeit unexpected. Big opportunity for me, is part-time and is also course-related!! This will accel me big time once I graduate. :D
The only downside is... it is incredibly stressful and I have no doubt I will be berated by the boss...(nature of the field).
At least ill be able to buy more TFs :D:D:D
Congrats TJ and gdmetro :)
Ditto, congrats guys! ;):cool:Quote:

Nah I can't do that. So here it is...
I HAVE HANDED MY RESIGNATION IN AND WILL START MY NEW BETTER JOB IN 4 WEEKS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Must be the week for it, TJ, GDM and I all got new jobs, so congrats to you both as well :D:D
Congrats on the new jobs guys.
Not so much my good news but my girlfriend's. She's been living in a dump of a unit and last week got a lease to a place diagonally opposite from work, lift access and feels like you're on holidays and staying in a 4 star apartment complex.
Yes! :eek::DQuote:

Not sure if this is in the right section, as the diet itself makes me want to vent, but the results have been crazy- lost over 10kgs in the space of 3 weeks, so pretty happy with that result.

Well it sounds awesome but I've no idea what it is you're referring to dude - Have you any links to pics? as a toy that is 2.25m long is awesome in anyone's book I'd imagine. :eek::cool:Quote:
