Don't buy clothing made from lead and osmium!

 

Company I work for is about to die. On top of that, I was tasked to find one hundred big wholesale customers by friday. With update demanded after fourteen hours.

Spoiler

I was supposed to sell 100k items by end of next week. I can touch base with possible new clients but holy **** I can NOT sell 100k items in that timeframe.

I'm done. I am 100% done with these people and I'm 100% done with vaping industry

I'm out

Lifting for a good cause with some amazing commentary

 

My friend has adopted a cat at work. He works at the tip, and this young lady showed up really dirty and skinny a few weeks ago. So he has called her tip.



Tip waits for him every morning. She was a bit standoffish at first.



But Tip has now made herself very comfortable and follows him around everywhere.

 

Oh and the second series of Criminal : United Kingdom.

Had me glued. The last episode... I won't drop spoilers, but it was friggin epic.

 

Trying my best to stay positive despite a few days of pure ****.

Going to the auction tomorrow to collect 11 winning lots from Thursday, Usually would have picked it up Friday but had no childcare available so left it. Gave me a good break from it because things have been probably verging on too much lately. Last week I had a period of three days and 28 items to ship. bordered on not actually fitting in the car on one of those days. While that equals good amounts of money I never really anticipated those huge influxes in sales.

Pay day in just over a week, should be clearing a second credit card and two catalogue accounts. Should leave me with one remaining card, PayPal Credit and extremely small refinanced overdraft and my car to attack next. Slowly removing stresses and strains from my life.

 

discovered that an artist of whose work I idolize had a twitter account, decided on a shot in the dark to reach out and say thanks for being an inspiration.

he only ****ing responded!

The life isn't awesome right now, people are going through several struggling face including me. But hope of achieving goals and things will get resolved give some energy and reasons to fight back.

 

That giant gundam being built is a ****ing robot. I thought it was just a metaphorical erection from whoever owns the Gundam IP.

How cool is that? An 18m tall robot?

Goddamn, Japan.

 

The apples on our tree are ripe. Apples straight from the tree are incomparably better than shop-bought apples.

 

It needs a nickname, I suggest Big Nobby.

 

It was a clear night last night, the temperature outside has dropped to 8°C, I've got the day off and I'm sat on top of a cast iron radiator being gently warmed through as I drink a coffee.

It even looks wintery outside

 

Got my son into nursery, so far confirmed on a Monday starting in January. Another day yet to be confirmed *fingers crossed*

I don't really need the childcare, Its not like I desperately want him out from under my feet but he needs the social interaction & development with other children, He was born with partial deafness in one ear which has affected his speech and language development. We visited last week and his eyes lit up when he saw all the toys, learning tools and outside spaces. He cried when we had to leave... now don't get me wrong I'm sure he'll cry going In January but its going to be good for him and give us both hopefully a few hours to breathe and do what we need to do in order for him to come home and get our full attention.

Feel relief knowing he's going.....

 

Built my first owned house.

 

I think I've finally found my replacement laptop, and it's quite pretty...



The tablet itself looks to be in absolutely perfect condition, and from what I can see so far there are no issues with the screen at all. Keyboard cover is a bit worn on the outside, but the keys and trackpad are still fine - the keyboard cover is not expensive to replace though.

Top-end CPU and RAM for this range, Core M7-6Y75 and 8GB dual-channel DDR3L, but it does only have a SATA SSD. Thankfully it takes an NVMe drive, so as soon as I get the refund on the one I just sent back I'll be scouring through Scan for a new drive. No idea what the battery life is like yet though, but UEFI shows the battery condition as 'Excellent'.

Buggers could have charged the battery though, I didn't realise it only had like 2% when I switched it on!

 

Finally. Finally I fixed the USB problem and could rid myself of the gash pink.



I also have full control back of my Aqua Computer stuff. So the fee I paid for a year wasn't totally wasted, even if there is only a month left LOL.

 

After some fannying around, I've replaced the membrane on the second transparent red PS2 controller, and replaced the cable with the better condition one I had one a totally ruined (But different internal revision) and now have two transparent red PS2 controllers.

 

I just opened a Lloyd’s current account, after Revolut pissed me around blocking my account I decided to ditch the mobile banks. Granted they need to do the checks but a singular £100 transfer and 36 hours & 6 agents to unlock? No thanks... by the reviews this is a regular occurrence!

12 months ago I got refused a current account... I couldn’t get a single shred of credit anywhere let alone open a standard bank account! How time’s have changed ey....

 

Got a lovely thankyou card from a friend of a friend in Germany after I went to the post office last month to sort out her passport which was stuck in a depot, also been invited to Dresden for a drink an a "massive hug" what with Rona I don't think it'll occur any time soon!
