Procrastination due fear of moving to London
I'd be paid more, but might well end up losing all my free time (working 12-15 hour days and weekends). However, that might not happen, and I might end up meeting a hot alternative girl and living happily ever after.

Alt: I prefer breasts to chocolate.

Is it necessary for your career, or just something you want to do?

It's either stagnate here in Stratford
With no prospects of advancement or decent pay rises, or go to London and earn more with real possibilities for promotion.

I see your dilemma.
Well then, you should MTFU and move to That London already. Carpe Diem and all that shite*.

*(I realise that my crippling phobias of change/doing anything to benefit myself/career advancement make me possibly the worst person to give this advice, but fuck it, I just did.)

I'm waiting for any announcement of payrises here
Should hear by the end of the month. That'll be a deciding factor, if we don't get at least in line with inflation (when the MD just bought a £160k car, something he does every year) then I'll go.

'alternative girl', or 'man' as they are more commonly knowm.

Monty
I've told you, I'm flattered, but I just don't fancy you. Your new A-line emo fringe and jeggings don't suit you either.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 10:46, Reply)

Look, I paid good money for those jeggings.
The least you could do is give me a sympathy bumming.

I know this is shameless and senseless beakering
but I can't help but think I should be involved in this conversation somehow

If you're able to peel them off your arse
Maybe, but I'm not giving you a reacharound.

I bet you're the kind of person who would fuck a man in the ass and not even....oh

Move to London and you might end up going to Slimelight
which would be bad. Also; you will, categorically, end up spunking a fuckload of readies every week once you have a Cyberdog on your doorstep

Spunkloads? Dogs on your doorstep?
Jeff might be interested.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 10:53, Reply)

And you'd be right.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 10:59, Reply)

haha
last year a person in my current position, every week despairingly said he was going to go to London and start working at Cyberdog. Despite being the least alternative person I know

Ripe for the moulding then
Which basically means being forced into varying ill-fitting and mismatched items of clothing and being screamed at by management to dance whenever not talking to a customer. So I've heard, anyway
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 10:55, Reply)

he wanted to be a bit emo
but the fussy chap with a first from Oxford who likes neatly ironed shirts part of him wasn't really gelling with that image
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 10:58, Reply)

Wearing glasses and voting LibDem doesn't stop me being alternative
although I almost always wear contact lenses and am not exactly shouting about my political allegiance right now. Except for just there.

I'm confused as to why someone old enough to have graduated from Oxford would want to be emo - surely he's at least 6 years too old?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:01, Reply)

he was a very serious teenager
it all caught up with him quite fast so he crammed in a lot of stuff that most people think of as being quite teenage into his last year
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:03, Reply)

Ah, deprived childhood syndrome
I can sympathise, I only realised there were such things as alcohol, cigarettes (still regret this one), girls (not so much) and drugs in my late teens and spent most of my early twenties playing catchup
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:10, Reply)

Yeah
he was dipping a toe into the water. Sadly I reckon he's going to redo it all over again in a few years
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:17, Reply)

This is why documenting his progress with many, many photos is important

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:20, Reply)

I'm not that cruel
or that bothered. He'll figure it out.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:23, Reply)

I am
Address please

You wouldn't get on with him
from thinking that he's bi he has swung to the 'being queer is an affront to God' and is currently thinking about converting.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 11:25, Reply)

You're right, I wouldn't
I'm much more a fan of your attitude towards bisexuality and religion. But that might be cos you're a girl

I kinda grew out of Cyberdog stuff
But occasionally see one or two things I like the look of...
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 7 Mar 2011, 10:54, Reply)

Yeah I'm much the same
except it's really difficult to get hold of in my part of the world, and I don't buy clothes online
