My Day.
A pretty uneventful day overall really. I got up and sorted out my brothers breakfast and then wrote the massive entry I did for yesterday, I actually had to leave the house and go and work at the library because my mother came over to my brothers place and I really just wanted to write and she is distracting ( Read more... )

My Weekend at Pacwar.

Wednesday.

Like all great weekends my weekend at Pacwar was five days long in theory. I was in Portland Oregon and I was staying with two friends of mine who were die hard fans of Amtgard, which is kind of like Larping except without the role playing element. Just the fighting. I'd been given the option of either going along ( Read more... )

My Day.
I really have no excuse for not writing anything today except for the fact that I'm sleepy as hell and have to get up in the morning and play soccer ( Read more... )

Managing Volunteers.
Managing a schedule for a team is a pain, I used to have to manage my team while I was working at Woolworths, I didn't make the schedules but I had to adjust them all the time because of people calling in sick or unavailable and it was a struggle. The only carrot I could offer people was the extra money they'd earn if they ( Read more... )

How Many Pages for a Resume?
My current resume is two pages long, my last resume was seven. There were some serious edits done at one point. I liked having a lot of information on my resume, in part because I like writing a lot and in part because I felt like leaving anything out would be a mistake. However I was told that brief is better when it ( Read more... )

Finding time to write.
I love writing, it is something I've been doing for as long as I can remember. Stories and characters, journals and blogs. I've a fondness for the written word that eclipses nearly ever other hobby I've ever had. But finding time to actually write anything is a pain. For example the last two days I've planned on writing my ( Read more... )

I watch a lot of TV, as a result I've seen a lot of shows which don't really get a lot of publicity outside of niche corners of the internet. Below is my list of shows which I think are actually really good and worth looking at if you are bored or looking for a way to kill a weekend ( Read more... )

Painkillers.
Can't really write much tonight, I took some painkillers this morning and because I was lazy instead of finding some panadol or something I took some of the painkillers I have left over from my surgery a few months ago. Turns out I'm actually really really intolerant to painkillers and have spent the entire day with the world floating ( Read more... )

Just a heads up, the main character of this story is pretty crude at the best of times, he's a main character in one of the novels I'm trying to write. He's a pretty awful character as a person, he pretty much hates everyone, is racist, sexist, homophobic and a corrupt cop. It's fun to write a character so appalling and this version doesn't have ( Read more... )
