2015 Today I...

Thanks! I didn't think I could handle study again now with a family. It's a much different experience this time around.

I suppose I don't have a reason to continue eating these salted nuts now.

Does there need to be a reason? :p
 
Awesome @Sweetgeek! Congratulations, that's so great and good to know your hard work has paid off and that you are doing the right course.

I remember result days were so nerve wracking. For my last lot of results they were dekayed a day and I stayed up most of the night refreshing the screen and i had nightmares about it all night and then kept refreshing at work all day the next to finally see that I had graduated.
 
"Today I ..." thought I'd let my ego check in.

Here tis. :)

Basic How2.
* Remove strings from brand new DethTone electric guitar and, after removing strings, detach its neck from the body and remove the machine heads.
* Fit a nasty rough sanding disk to the angle grinder using suitable attachment.
* Sand as much of the shiny black finish off the brand new DethTone guitar as you can easily reach.
* Take ball-peen hammer and strike the front of the guitar body with the ball end of the hammer many times.
* Repeat using edge of non-ball end of hammer.
* Put neck back on body and machine heads back on after sanding "DethTone" (along with the shiny black finish) off the head.
* Admire the beaten naked wood (like, why did they paint it in the first place ?).
* Pick a suitable branch from an ash tree and lop it at / to a pleasing shape.
* Grind bark off it.
* Bolt guitar to fork in ash tree using a couple of galvanised hex heads.
* Strap it all together even more using some old belts, leather thonging, and copper wire to taste.
* Strap shield on top and add arrows.
* Grind Bunnings axe down to a more pleasing shape and grind some runes into it.
* Spray paint stuffed emu so it looks more like the kind of thing wot would report stuff to Odin.
* Remove one of the plastic horns from silly helmet and impale it upon one of the ash tree twigs.
* Strap / wire axe to Axe and belt through a couple of galvanised clouts to be sure.
* Restring Axe using three different colours of Dr Neon strings.
* Sand back cowbell to raw metal using angle grinder.
* Strap / wire to it to another ash tree twig.
* Use a couple of old belts to make an Axe strap.
* Hang the completed ensemble off the idiot and tune to taste.

Today I have done everything except what I should be doing. Applying for jobs. I've looked at a zillion cat gifs. Watched cinnamon challenges on youtube. Watched screaming goats on youtube and generally been totes lazy.

I really need a job. I'm so unmotivated when I don't have a routine.

What sort of work are you looking for? Being unemployed is the worst.

What kind of job are you interested in? You can still have a routine without having a job. Make looking for a job your job.

I am kind of different to you in that I can have spurts of motivation. But i really don't need a routine for that motivation to come into being.[DOUBLEPOST=1446120395][/DOUBLEPOST]
Ok then, I thought you might of done something to help your future.

I really don't think about my future. Like I have said before I rarely think three hours ahead.

My contract has just finished from my previous job.. Project Administrator... as the whole project finished. I was working sometimes 12 hour days for the last 6 months so i'm happy to have a bit of a breather but ya know.. there's just that part of me that's like "OMG GET A JOB GET A JOB!!!" I know i'll get a job, no probs there, but i'm just feeling really lazy at the moment. Like an unpaid holiday kind of thing. Job applications are such a PITA but yes.. I know I have to make looking for a job my job but i'm kinda dragging my heels a bit.

I'm annoying as all hell.

I have spurts of motivation but i'm too easily distracted. OMG look at this on the internet!!

If i'm not locked into something I have the attention span of a gnat. Yet I thrive on stress and productivity in my working life. I like to be busy but I don't make myself busy in my not working life if I don't have to be....

*insert whiney child voice*

Hey if you feel you need a break, this could be a time for you to relax... Maybe make looking for a job your part time job. :p

Ha ha yes the internet can be very distracting. The only time when I can really focus is when I am writing or reading. Because i love to speed read.

Do you think you will ever be able to function as an adult, say with a job, bills and a house to look after?
