Self sabotage
I just had the chance to go work on a cruise ship for six months, leaving my mediocre, badly paid life here in Ireland. I had a tiny worry that my student debt in the uk might catch up with me, but other than that, I had no good reason. I don't know why I did this, I want to leave, but I deliberately didn't check the deadline properly, and left it to fate. I was too late. Anyone else find themselves doing this?

Alt q: if you won the euro millions, whats the very very first thing you'd do?

I'm now thinking I'm a proper

I wish i hadn't fucked up so stupidly. I've got no comeback for this. Gah.

I'd pay off everyone in my family's mortgages, then fuck off for a good long while having a wee travel

OH GONZ ! YOU MASSIVE FUCK UP !
I was in the cafe today, that's The Cafe. I was speaking to Cafe Girl's Dad, I said I should be starting a new job soon, he asked me why, so I said a few things about this job. It was then I spot the company's logo on a card in the corner, turns out the cafe owner is best mates with my boss. I said "Don't say anything, 'cus I donno right.

I then asked when his daughter was next working, and he ask 'why', so I said "My friend got me some tickets to the theater, and I was wondering if she wanted to go with me", he asked me how much and when, and I said "Nah', it'll be my treat, it's an open ended tickt 'till the end of september, but that I can get that extended", and he said that she gets back from holiday next sunday..... I donno if I did that wrong or not.

Oh dear...
the job thing was a bit unfortunate.
The girl thing doesn't sound fucked up though.
How come you don't know about the job yet?

I called the guy up yesterday.
He said the only thing he isn't to sure about is when it comes to the buisness side of things, which I didn't know about and it wasn't mentioned. But I put him at ease saying I've run successful buisnesses in the past, that you wouldn't be calling me in the first place if you didn't think I had a head on me. That I'll make mistakes and it'll take time to learn the trade, but that I have every faith in my abilities, and as far the technical side of things, there was nothing there that complexed me in the slightest... and with all the time and money spent outsourcing to India and the backwards'n'forwards and language barrier, that alone would pay for my wages.

Well
it sounds like it was good that you called him.
I hope he sorts it out soon.

Will do, it'll be whatever it is, worst comes to it, I can find some new girl to fascinate about, although she won't be as pretty.

invest it for at least 6 months with no option to touch it while I got my head around having such a huge amount of money
by the time I'd figure out what to do with it, it will hopefully have earned a shitload more in interest.

He's also created plans for some quite impressive tessen.

Buy my son a forge.
And hire a good blacksmith artist to teach him for a couple of years.
Can't think of anything I'd want for myself. Maybe a new camera.
