Wall-E totally looks like the robot from "Short Circuit"… minus the cheesy 80’s style of course

@ Scott - To be honest, anything that doesn’t require too much experience and can be done on Saturdays. Tough sell, but I’ve found that with my hours, I’m useless and short tempered after work so customer service is a no no…perhaps data entry?

@ stickyfingers - Believe me, I had every intention of doing exactly that, but a few days has given me a bit of perspective and a chance to cool down. I do believe that she genuinely believed she was doing good, but this hardly excuses her words and actions. Will we ever be good friends? I doubt it, but I can’t really say anything till I’ve had more time to distance myself from the event to evaluate the worth of the friendship.

@ itchy fingers - Thanks for the offer, itchy, but I don’t think I could do it for the simple fact that I’m one of those folks who get *very* emotionally invested in their work…volunteering at an orphanage many years ago showed me that I don’t have the emotional strength to hold it together in that sort of situation, and in my current state, I’m afraid that level of mental/emotional exhaustion would just about kill me.

@ Pamela - Thanks, Pamela, those are my sentiments exactly!

@ BumbleB - Thanks…I’ll have a think about it

HAH! Try being completely naked in the shower, turning around and seeing one of those fuckers ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS!! Remembering that still makes me freak out (>_<)

@Peter - Kinda sad and funny. It does make me weep for the state of humanity though…

@Joff - Awesome quote!

@Adam - You’re right…when I was studying overseas at the international school, at yr 10 level history the depth of understanding being taught was far more in-depth than what I experienced here. Sad.

@Kat Moon - Your friend has a point, but frankly, I don’t think I’ve ever been quite that ignorant *head desk*

@therese - Cheers - I thought the IRA were the…*cough* activist arm of Sinn Fein but google has proven me wrong!

@Scott - Yuuuuuup.

@Lula - That’s such a sad state of affairs! I don’t understand why such emphasis is placed on the sciences, the humanities are JUST as important for developing analytical and other skills!

@jai - I have actually seen it! It’s a crap movie, but terrifyingly enough I can see something close to that happening!!

@Kimbers - I live in constant fear that there are people more stupid than this out there (o_O)

LOL try having the hairy legged lil fucker crawl INSIDE the car via those demist vents near the windscreen!! Its happened to me TWICE. I’m all for bio-diversity, but not in my car, or my house. And why do you only see those really big huntsmans when you are sitting on the toilet, at your most vulnerable with pants around ankles,and IT’s between you and the door?

You are an awesome individual, and should be very proud of your decision, and your principles. Your devotion to your family is worthy of respect. I have recently made a similar move myself, in a bid to stop the business my mother started from going down the gurgler, and know that for those of us with heart, you dont think twice, but that doesnt make it any easier. I dont know you personally, but I feel compelled to try help. If you can get past the shyness (rely on your inner strength) there is good money to be earned in motor industry selling what is referred to as ‘aftermarket’ (overpriced tint, paintprotection, alarms, etc) try M1 group, or wynns. Feel free to email me if any Q’s. Yes it maybe dodgy to be associated with car salesman, but occupation doesnt define us, our actions and thoughts do.

Good for you for continuing to step up for your family. That’s what responsible, level-headed, smart people do. Sorry to hear your ‘friend’ doesn’t fit in that category. Obviously you have enough mess to deal with, without shitty behavior from her.

the not-for-profit I work for is always taking casuals to work in the Disability sector (jobs range from aiding clients in their homes to working in respite houses and day programs.) The money is good and the work rewarding but it can also be quite challenging. You don’t need to have prior experience.
If you’re interested send me an email and I’ll send you the contact details.
