Why does time go so slowly when I'm on the call floor but as soon as I'm on break it goes double?

from my call centre experiences, I'd wager some sort of ex-military chemical pumped out through the air vents.

If that were the case, everyone here wouldn't be so miserable.

Maybe I've just grown immune. Perhaps I should put in a request to hr for some stronger shit.

Got a fucking dreadful flu and have been sick in bed the last two days, waking up 15/20 times a night with alternating hot and cold sweats

That feel when you have to respond to a text with, "uuugggghhhhh, sorry who is this?"

If it's not actually a wrong number, you can always say "wrong number"

-possible bad/good advice-



I've gotten texts before like "Hey! How come you hate Jessica and I so much?" (I don't know anyone named Jessica)
So I respond "wrong number, sorry"
Them, "Oh, yeah, right, nice try"

Then I had to go back and forth until they finally believed me that they had the wrong number

I'm sick.

my semester starts up tomorrow and part of me isn't too into the idea; after being off for a while I've settled quite well into a constant stream of personal projects (albums, novel, etc), so having someone
else tell me what to do again will be a bit of a change.

[backwardsvoyager]

i'm thinking about dropping out of uni. or at least flunking this semester and going overseas for a little while to think about what to do afterwards.
i like being at uni because it makes me feel less worthless and provides some sort of short term goal system, but my degree is poorly organised and isn't helping me or teaching me much at all.
so i'm basically just throwing money down the drain to be with my friends and not have to work more than a couple of days a week. i really have no idea what i'm doing.

[weed_killer]

what are you taking/what year are you in?

[backwardsvoyager]

i'm doing a 'bachelor of sound and music design' and am towards the end of my second year. you?

[weed_killer]

2nd year journalism. I enjoy it and I'm good at it, but I kind of view it with some separation; it's a 'potential job', whereas my music/writing is my 'work'. In an area like yours, I think having
the technical knowledge can be enough to get you in the door. Do you want to leave because uni isn't working out, or because you're not too sold on the field (or both)?

[backwardsvoyager]

my degree itself is basically worthless, unless my job interests were recording engineering or post-production for for TV or film (i have no real interest in either). it's a 'new' degree and the employment rate in relevant fields out of it is currently less than 10%.
i wanted to stay and finish it because if i get a bachelors' degree i'm eligible to go and be an assistant language teacher overseas for a year or more which is paid work that i'd enjoy and would give me time to contemplate my future and relieve a bit of stress. but really, that's a temporary solution regardless of how much i'd enjoy it so i'm not sure it's worthwhile to continue anymore.
basically i just want to produce music but i'm not interested in making it a career as far as worrying about making money from it goes, i just want to write and play to the best of my abilities, that's what i'm 'passionate' about.
as far as jobs go, i like teaching/education a lot, but i don't want to do that in Australia which kind of complicates things. the trouble is i'm not really interested in owning a house or getting married or having kids or any material things beyond the means to travel (currently, at least) so i lack the traditional motivation to find a 'career'. asking most of my friends for advice is pretty useless because they're focused on career prospectives/money/etc

I've been contenplating going to school because I want an excuse/reason to be around the stuff I give a shit about while working a job I hate less.
Food for thought.

On another note, I love tattoos, I love tattoo culture, I love tattoo art, but tattooing doesn't seem to love me enough to let me in. Doing something like going to school for (insert anything I'm interested in besides tattoo, art, and music) feels like I'm saying to myself, "if I can't do what I really want, then I may as well do 'x' ."

Tired of feeling kind of lost
