EVENING THREAD
I made a little song today, it goes "I am so great, I am so great, why am I so great? because I am great". OH MY DAYZ, so many job offers'n'shit, LOADS and LOADS. Pretty awesome companies, huge ranges, every industry I've ever wanted to do website shit for in every kind of enviroment with every kind of wage.

I might even be able to start double-dating with Swipey in her posh fancy resturants and being like [posh voice] "OH no dear, I insist, I won the Anfield race this year, har har, that's my coke dealer sorted out for another month ! More champaign and fois gras and lobster, my darling? HAR HAR HAR, look at all those poor people who aren't us.".

I decided to put my CV online yesterday, I have spent the entire day on the phone and doing emails.
I ain't joking or exasorating, i'm at the bottom of page 2 of my email with _just_ offers, my phone hasn't stopped going off, and all of them are around 50% more wages than what I'm on.

Nah' man, there isn't even that.
I fucking loved my job before the changes, and I still fucking love the team, its just that team won't exist in a month's time.

I might resent the new manager for being a fucking dick who's dismantled the most creative and best fucking web team (on our scale) in the whole of london and replaced it with people who might as well be outsourced from india.
