You mean it physically doesn't spin and is locked up or like when you turn the steering wheel it doesn't turn properly? If it's the 1st then you'll probably need new brake calipers and fluid flush, if it's the latter it could be a couple things. 1 being it wasn't tightened down properly after alignment, bearings are beyond destroyed, or it's that rubber thing I can't remember the name of. Frankly all general maintenance stuff. You can do all this yourself but if your not comfortable with these kinda things I wouldn't mess with the bearings. Wouldn't recommend alignment either but you can get it straight enough till you can take it to a shop. Have any work done on it lately?

Anyway I've been getting great sleep lately and have been having crazy vivid dreams. I would have to text wall to explain them but one of the funnier ones was last night. I remember I was with a bunch of friends in korea, in a taco bell, trying to order food. I don't speak korean but I was able to order a combo. I got a hot dog with fries and a coke. I used the restroom and went back to sit at the table with friends when I ran into paris hilton, nicole richie and ed helms. Richie gave me a hug and she was wearing like a blue cashmere dress. Apparently we were old buddies. After that I sat down to eat and ed helms started giving a power point presentation. Someone said he was late but he replied with a joke and something along the lines of "you wanted a presentation and I'll do it."

Today, I paid to get my facial hair shaved. The razor decided that today was a good day to die. For it, was a tuesday but for me, [&@%!] INFURIATING! It means that i've got even more at stake. Sure, it's onl cost me £10 but ffs, that's something i needed to not occur. Anyway, twas interesting and tis perfect. Admittly, some of it is still here but there's nothing that can be done. It kinda is a bit of a five o clock shadow and well, tehre's little i can do about it.

So yeah, Thursday, i am ready. Polished shoes today, ironed the clothes I intend to wear and will iron again(that shirt looks iffy to me) tomorrow along with more polishing and then it's go time on thursday.

DOUBLE PPOST SMEEGGGEERS!

The interview went well today and I mean, really well. Ok, by my track record, it went well. (Note: Most of the time, it goes well but well, April saw a disaster interview). They seemed to be impressed by my answers and their body language indicated it. Along with their responses. I really impressed them with my questions and kinda interviewed them. It went well and will find out on 30th(this month, week begiing) if I succeeded or not. Won't be surprised if I haven't as life and lemons. [&@%!] LEMONS! Sorry, Life gives me lemons at the moment and as Cave Johnson once said, when life gives you lemons, get mad. GET REAL MAD!

So yeah, it went really well. Everyone that i've spoken to seem to think that(Not the company or anyone involved to but people who asked me how it went) i have got it. I doubt it but yeah, it went well. Best interview so far in my life though nerves did cause me to pause a few times and i did mess up a few words.

So yeah, that happened.

Also, nacho nacho, Pizza. I'm a Nacho beef chilly cheese man. I'm having that as a interview went well thingy for lunch. I'm failing to do the parody of macho man. Stupid nacho, nacho man. I'll probably get a stern warning from Aarah for violating the UESP Directive about not poorly parodying songs.

Will keep on searching and probably tear myself APHART(Lisa) during the next week as the time and suspense will kill me.

Can I suplex time? No? Spoilsports.

Also, Nacho cheese stuffed crust pizza! :D

Congrats, Beta. Try not to mix up baking powder with gas. I hear that it is quite bad for the car. :P


I kinda had a crap realisation last night. If I haven't got this job, my future weekly meals will either consist of nothing or cheap canned soup with bread and noodles with something. Also, the 7 day wait begins. 7 long days to find out if I failed or not. 7 days until either my hunt is over or my hunt is screwed. 7. WHOLE. DAYS. *stares at wall*

Oh and I was on fire yesterday. Not literally, was rather happy, cheery and energetic.

Tomorrow, I get the fun of dealing with governmental phonelines. Yay. Took out what is called a budgeting loan in the UK. Well, applied for it and no sign of the form. Been over a month now and should have recieved it along with having the cash. Though, knowing my utter bloody luck, there will be a reason that prevents me from getting it. :-/ Though, if that reason is because I have got this job, that would be perfect. Admittly, it just means that instead of £348, I'll just borrow a grand from my bank and it seems to be a fairly small repayment of £100-£200 a month. I can easily deal with that. Heck, for the past 2 years, I barely get by on £200 a month.

Guess I'll apply for the jobs i found on saturday and yesterday. Mcdonalds, don;t you remove it whilst i've gone food shopping. I'll be rather annoyed.

So yeah, that's what happened since friday.

Power was out for the better part of the night yesterday. Happened just as I was on my way back from work, so that was fun finding out the whole neighborhood was out.

I may have done my very last voluntary work at the bookshop. Ok, there is Sunday's shift but last one with my manager etc... Twas full of energy and hopefully, next week is return of the Working Dovah. Would be [&@%!] nice to have a decent chance of getting a room or flat. Today, going up to the council with the strong hope of that they do have DSS(housing benefit) accepted lists. I really do not want to be homeless and i have a mere 3-4 weeks left. Stupid Dovah should have searched back in april. FFS. Oh and it turns out i had malware on my laptop ever since I got it. Thanks, Lenovo. You utter [&@%!] SKELETON WARRIORS! What? It's better then me saying *****!

If the council can't help me and i don't get this job, well, [&@%!]. I mean, I am gonna to have to resort gambling my existence with temporary work and that never [&@%!] works out for me. Literally. But I know i've got this job. My gut is telling me it is. The interview went well, nothing bad or negative, they even asked me about what other jobs i applied for. The next 4 days need to go fast. I should really get out by the 12th. Heck, I don't care if I need to take a 1k loan as long as I have a job. 1k is basically to furnish, sort it all out. £400 may cover it but i'll be a lot more comfortable(along with it bridging the gap from nothing to paid) and can be affordable to pay back.

If not, well, temporary work is my only hope. Part Time work is kinda viable but full time is my only safe option.

But hopefully, tis good news Monday.

DOUBLE POST WITCHES! MWAHAHAHAHA! Oh and Wizards. Mages are far superior to you.

Had hoped to hear back from this job today but it occured to me an hour ago that it is likely to be tomorrow. I mean, it was a tuesday that they contacted me for an interview so tomorrow, hopefully, is the day I get a job. If not, then it's no choice but to do honest to gosh, no holds barred, sons of witching, blunt as an atom bwaamb, Nightmothering, Sheogorathing temp factory work to try to buy myself time till the end of the year. Tis extremely unstable as in, doesn't [&@%!] work at all! I work my arse off but in my experience, it always ends up with :D then >:( then :(

But there may have been a sign that i've got the job. Got a message from a landlord yesterday for a room that is for working folks. Tis a houseshare, more or less £500 a month, bills included and i've worked out that it's £200 for just food and travel then £300 for whatever the sod i want. Which will be put by as a small safety net every month.

I mean, that has got to be a sign right? I suddenly get a message to my advert just before the week I am due t find out if i'm not that [&@%!], Sheodovah or [&@%!] HELL! WHAT THE [&@%!] AM I GONNA TO DO!? TEMP WORK, SAVE. MY. [&@%!]. ARSE! Sheodovah. I don't want to be the latter. I want to be Employed Sheodovah.

So yeah, that happened. Oh and washing machine is dead but I intend to offer to replace it if i have the cash after i've moved out or kicked out.


So yeah, for most of you, Tuesday is just another day but for me, it shall be potentially judgement day. DUN DUN DU! DUN DUN DU!

Why is Aarah glaring at me? :P

Woke up to the news that 450k people in New Hampshire are without power, myself included. To sum it up, that is 1/3rd of the state’s total population. Those closer to the central power grids have power now, but many like myself are still waiting.

The storm was crazy to listen to as you slept, even had an odd thunderstorm which didn’t last long. I saw that 73 MPH gusts were recorded too. I’m happy that no one in the states hit got badly hurt though.

All in all, I’m glad I have a guitar, books, and some electronics that I keep charged (like my phone), or I’d be going nuts now. :lol:

Yeah. Odd day

Heard back from the job and.....

as usual, was a failure but this means that my last resort plan is being enacted. I am going to live dangerously and do temp work. Tis my only choice. That or risk being homeless because council won't help me unless i'm homeless and i say, [&@%!]. That. I am more determined then ever. Unemployment will end this or next week. WHY? I AM THE [&@%!]! HEAR.ME.ROAR! Fate decress that I am to have unstable work? FINE! CHALLENGE. [&@%!]. ACCEPTED! COME AT ME, LIFE! RAAAAAAWR!

Or i'm resorting to temp work. That said, i am being cautious, getting clarification to ensure that the repeat of 4 [&@%!] temp jobs is not being screwed over.

On the plus side, RWBY is available this evening. And sod it, dr pepper big bottle o clock time. Yeah.

You shall not crush me, life! you will not break my spirit! In fact, i'm really fired up. You awoke the true Sheodovah. Now. prepare to pay for your crime, criminal scum!

It's really wonderful to know that life hasn't gotten you down, though! You've still got options, and I'm sure that something great will come up sooner or later. ^-^

Thanks guys. I am more or less focusing on the positive stuff and I am confident I can get regular work. Phoned a few agencies today to start registration and got a meeting with one on Monday. Hopefully and really, it needs to lead to something, I'll get something. Gonna to be quite stressful in terms of rent but £300 is my bare minimum and that's a week's work. Hopefully, ongoing work is ongoing and it means that I will not really be at risk of having issues. Still, 4 weeks to find a [&@%!] place. Have founda room taht is aimed at temporary workers and am gonna to sort that out tuesday. Renting a flat is pretty much a no-go due to costs and room rents covers everything.
