Pretty much nothing other than ruining myself at a beer festival and playing Gran Turismo until half three this morning.
Unless shitloads of sweaty sleep could be called an accomplishment.

beer festivals are good.

They're gay and I hate them.
Actually, that's not true. My self-restraint is gay and I hate it.

I also met someone from the Internet this weekend.

it was clearly a good weekend for it
so what did you get up to today after marathon sleep?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:22, Reply)

Watched the Grand Prix, had a nap and did some ironing.
Not really as action-packed a day as it could have been.

Work. work and more work.

boo :(
I just booked flights to edinburgh!
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:42, Reply)

When are you off to Edinburgh?
I might have to go there on Wednesday, but I'm trying to get out of it.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:43, Reply)

a week wednesday - otherwise I'd come and say hello
my friend is working thursday and friday so I'm going to be roaming the festival both days
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:44, Reply)

I'd forgotten the festival is on soon.
All the more reason to avoid travelling!
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:45, Reply)

what!
But there'll be music and theatre and comedy and street performers! I love that shit
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:46, Reply)

Me too.
But if I'm there, I'll be working and there won't be time for any of the fun things.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:47, Reply)

booo
won't they even let you stay for the evening?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:51, Reply)

Yeah, I can stay, but it won't really give me any 'fun time'
I'll try and avoid travelling.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:53, Reply)

I've never had to go far for work
furthest is probably playground patrol, and that's only about 50 miles
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:18, Reply)

How big is your playground!
I don't travel much for work these days, but overseas travel has been a regular part of other jobs I've done. Sadly, it is nowhere near as much fun as it sounds.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:20, Reply)

I've done it little enough
that just being in a hotel would be exciting. For a while at least.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:21, Reply)

Depends on the company you work for.
I was most annoyed when one company I worked for decided that Dublin should be a day-trip and not an overnight stop, as there was good boozin' to be done, especially if you stayed Thursday night and working on the Friday, as - at your own expense - you could have a weekend on the sauce in Ireland.

at this time of night?

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 21:27, Reply)

Quite a lot actually.
Run fifteen miles in total as well as walking the dog an hour each day. Caught up with a mate yesterday and spent the afternoon in his mint garden chatting bollocks with booze and fags. Read half of Chris Evan's autobiography. Went over to the town hall earlier and nearly kicked off at a six year old girl's birthday party (we didn't start it). Went and got my tele replaced this morning - the brand new replacement has worse problems than my original one. Overall though, quite good.

Me and a neighbour went round to ask them to turn it down cos it was stupidly loud.
One of the blokes got really shouty and then backed off after realising what an idiot he was making of himself. That and I'm hard as nails and he got scared.

I'm willing to go to those lengths so I can read in the garden without 'Everyday I'm shuffling' booming out from the building next door.
It worked.

But I don't care. cos I'm ACE!

What companies have you sent applications to?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:31, Reply)

A few local ones
and the Co-op.

The last four applications I sent out didn't even get a response. I think I'm officially unemployable.

Well, if you were young and hip and trendy, you would have see it.
It was totally awesome though, take my word for it.

With the number of applicants for each job advertised running at 'lots' it probably doesn't make sense for companies to acknowledge receipt.
What were the specific jobs you went for?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:36, Reply)

One was a PA
one was a copywriter, one 'team leader', and one project co-ordinator.

The next one is a marketing copywriter for the local college.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:39, Reply)

So quite a variety of different roles then.
Of the roles you went for, what one did you feel most qualified to do?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:40, Reply)

team leader at the co-op
which, obviously, was the one I wanted least.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:41, Reply)

If you're prepared to travel, then there are (obviously) more jobs in Bristol than there are Weston.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:45, Reply)

I'd really rather not so the Bristol run in rush hour traffic
unless I could get somewhere within walking distance of Temple Meads.

Bit of charity work, some chilling, seeing friends.

charity work that you don't like to mention?

This weekend involved some cheesy films and some quality time with the family
Just watched Trading Places (trying to explain the stock exchange ending to my 11 year old was fun, especially when I've never truly got it myself (but there is a useful wiki article on it)). Now watching Christine.

Alt; We've got around three weeks till holiday time so the intense planning starts this week. I've got airport parking and hotels to sort for my wife and her sister as they're off to Belfast to see 30 Seconds to Mars. My wife has a free pass for Jared Leto so she'll be doing her best to cash it in come the time.
( Bill Clay a.k.a. Claudio, Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:41, Reply)

Trading Places is a fucking ace film.
Every new year I send DJ a text reading 'Merry New Year!' purely in honour of how much we love this film.

Eddie Murphy used to be funny.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sun 31 Jul 2011, 22:45, Reply)

I do the same with a few of my friends.
I can't remember a year I haven't sent a text or yelled across the street to someone 'Merry New Year' (accent and all). If we're in the house on New Years Eve that film is a must.

The last funny Eddie Murphy film I can think of is Bowfinger.
