[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Change physics to maths for me.

Seriously kids, if you are making AS/A level course decisions (i've said this before), DO NOT take maths or any science subject. The fail/pass ratio is horrible, and both suck so badly.[/QUOTE]
me fails 3/4 subjects then :upset:

meh...GCSE's first



and K- no, if only, the film was even worse- no imaginary boogeyman- it was real ;) and he had to face it and beat it blah blah yawn

Adam Jones is GOD 03-14-2005 12:15 PM

So I just got home from work and was told that the company who I applied for a job at phoned me while i was out. THis is encouraging news indeed

However, its hours are now revelaed to be 8 - 6, mon- fri. And its an hour to get there, so thats a 7 - 7 working day for me.

Dammit, im hitting real life at last

Untitled 03-14-2005 12:18 PM

real life sucks. woo for college life.

Adam Jones is GOD 03-14-2005 12:19 PM

Been there, done that, threw up on the T Shirt.

Besides, starting on £11k a year is a nice introduction to real life. Which will go up as I progress through, which i better

Untitled 03-14-2005 12:22 PM

11k aint bad per year, well for 19/20 year old.

Adam Jones is GOD 03-14-2005 12:23 PM

Yeah, I am starting at the bottom rung of the company. But its nice to see that the 3 head bosses came from a similar situation

Untitled 03-14-2005 12:27 PM

DO have your own house? Live with your parents? Sumet else?

If i lived on my own, and i got 11k a year, id be happy. Get some nice basses with that money.

Adam Jones is GOD 03-14-2005 12:29 PM

Option 2. Though if I start earning that sort of money, its time to search for personal accomodation indeed.

Though I mainly want to save up for my own PC, getting fed up play administrator on this one and having to wait for others to finish using it

ChodaBoy 03-14-2005 12:43 PM

Being admin is fun, if my brother gets on my nerves (which he does alot), i just block his account, or disable him from doing certain things

computer game desingners start with 15k a yr i think, so stuff me drum kit when i leave 6th form, im going into teh business. i will keep playing the drums, and buy a tama stagestar i think, or i ahve i got the wrong star thing, doublebass kit, and keep it in my attic, and never play it, like thos saddo's who buy a drumkit so tehy can just look rich.

King_Karl 03-14-2005 03:00 PM

So i'm sitting here with my room all stripped and half a wood floor down. I never realised how big this room is! This is funky.

Wow, i just found that my sister has uploaded the NME 2005 Winners Cd onto my pc, it has some great songs.

/listens to greenday live.

Adam Jones is GOD 03-14-2005 03:12 PM

And its just turned out that my sister has bought herself a bass guitar

Did we miss a meeting or something? Or is it 'National Siblings act cool' day?

Brew 03-14-2005 03:16 PM

My brother has turned into a Metallica fanboy, all he plays on guitar is Metallica riffs when a few months ago I went through a phase of playing about half of the Ride the Lightning album in order...

My sisters always liked good music, most of the time its pretty mianstream, but shes started to steal my cds and stuff. All my music off my pc is uploaded onto here MP3 too.

[QUOTE=Med57]:( I can imagine real life causing problems. On the other hand though, nice work on getting the job man, that's great stuff. :)
[/QUOTE]

WOAH WOAH WOAH, nobody is saying i have the job yet. im just very confident. There is still likely to be an interview phase, but this is the furthest along in the job process I have had so far.

And I must say, that's a nice order list. May need to sample a few of them

Is computer game designer what you really want to do with your life?
What are the avenues for promotion?
15k a year is very little at all.
1250 pounds a month, so that's 312.50 pounds a week.

Take bills away from that, food, clothing, transport costs, rent e.t.c.
You really don't have much. If it's your dream, then go for it, but otherwise it's not a perfect idea.
If you get a wife a settle down, and some kids, 15k a year, will not fund it at all.
Just think very carefully about what you want to do with your life.

Brew 03-14-2005 03:21 PM

Sigur Ros are groovey. My sister discovered them about 6 years ago.

And anytime you want anything, just hit me up on MSN or ask here. :) How did you enjoy the Floyd tracks, by the way?

[/QUOTE]

/Puts on Blasphemous hat

I dont know what I make of them. I guess since my musical tastes have gone darker recently that it was just a bit calm for me. But its unfair for me to judge now, I havent heard them that much yet, and they are on tommorrows MP3 tracklist.

But the musical talent ive known from them is still very present I know
