F**K,was told this morning im probably getting laid off in a few weeks.I work in retail and obviously its got very quiet in the last year etc but i thought i'd be ok.Im gutted though.Im not a waster.How the F**k do i tell this news to the girlfriend,my friends and my family??????????????????
A mate of mine was laid off at the start of the year. He's working in Supermacs now doing 12-hour shifts, but he's making the best of it. It's a paycheque at least.
If you have a mortgage, I can't stress strongly enough to GO AND TALK TO YOUR MORTGAGE PROVIDER!!!! They will do their best to help you. Don't wait until you miss a payment!!

And remember the 60/40 rule - 60% listening, 40% talking.
What if she's one of these very nice but very quite/shy girls though? The long silences would be awkward enough.

Hate dates like that. Make an effort goddammit!
Anyway, don't talk about you, just keep asking her questions about herself. Girls like all that. :)
Have at least 6 pints before you arrive. Your nerves will be in better shape and you'll have a fascinating and desperately humorous opinion on every possible subject.

Good luck Shannonman, hope it goes well.
And Eamo1, that is rough. I hope that in the long run, this might be the start of you going into something better and it sounds as though you've the right attitude, but for the time being I hope you get through it.

I had a contact lens malfunction yesterday with the new lenses I was using. Helpfully, this being a bank holiday weekend, Specsavers is closed and I've had to spend the last 24 hours or so, and the next few to come until it opens again tomorrow with blurred -2.75 vision. I'm reading foot.ie in large text feeling like a right Grandpa (with apologies to any old codgers reading). Con is just going to be a blob on MNS. (As will Glen Crowe, but that's got nothing to do with my eyesight.)

I think any chance of a good impression went when I discovered you keep a mattress in your boot.

The old wan at work next to me has the sound on her computer so every time she clicks something it makes a noise, annoying as fcuk. If she leaves her PC for a few mins I think I'll run over and turn it off, she won't know the difference.

One of those intensely annoying things. Stuff like that really grinds my gears, I'd honestly be having fantasies about battering the silly dear over the head with a chair if I had to listen to that all day.

Why don't you make a "click" noise everytime her computer does. Will annoy the hell outta her.

It cant be any worse than being forced to listen to the Black Eyed Peas new song while most annoying people on planet talking total nonsence to me at the same time. Thank god for my sneezing which is making everything sound a little muffled.
