In a very busy cafe

I'll be really crap and I feel sorry for anyone that gets served by me

Ah well

Funny how everyone you know is desperate for a job at this age yet few years down the line they'll say school was the best days of your life.

Wonder if there's a job where you sit on net all day and get paid... I think Goatboy has that... lucky devil.

Yeah I would go in and do one even if there isn't any jobs going right now, then when one does come up you will have the advantage of already filling out the form. Unless if you want a summer job and dont want to be waiting for ages, go to MCDonalds they're always recruiting. i was going to go to MCDonalds before I saw they needed someone in Woolworths...only 2 ½ months until I get my discount card...woo!

I might have a job too, got offered one on the back of work experience, dunno whether or not to take it...will take up a lot of my free time in the holidays, but most of my mates are away anyway, and I get random days off, and can still waste time on the net whenever there's a lack of customers..

Could be a worse deal I guess..

I can just imagine you (whatever you look like) screaming out into the night: "Get off me! Stop poking me! The level's too hard, you know it is!"
Having nightmares about your dog'd mocking procedures.

:-D

It pokes and jabs with it's paw...while doing exactly what you said especially the wheezing and jabbing.

Infact, it is such a painful experience that bringing it up gives me flashbacks of the jabbing and the poking...(:(

Thats my life at the moment until my parents kick me out in a few years. But I do worry about my personal hygiene, whether I am going out or not. And I get to know the dog as my cat is non existent but my dog does watch me play and mocks me when I lose... (:)

You don't have to accept it! Rebel! Live the alternative lifestyle of 'Skint Gamer'!

Pros:

You're your own boss! YOU decide what you want to play WHEN you want to!
Work your own hours! Choose your own working environment! Take 8 hour lunchbreaks inbetween getting up and gaming and going to sleep! Get to know your cat better! Forget about personal hygene!

Cons:

You're skint. Your cat could take offense at your body odour.

Someones speaking from a lot of first hand experience...Life sucks though, bosses are power hungry but stupid, co-workers are incompetent and you earn much less than you should for the hours you work, but thats life and you have to accept it. I am 14 and I am already working out that in 4 years time my life will take turn for the worse... unless I get a dream job like Goaty. (:)

That one's easy. Get married and kick your mum out.
