So where are you now?
So where are you now?
Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Whoop whoop, update on the miscellaneous adventures of Point_Blank, I've got an audition for Weber Bros Circus tomorrow night, yet another opportunity for me to run away with the circus, but this time as a performer instead of an F&B crew member.

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

Well, all nervousness aside, I did really well in my audition and I think I'm probably in their new show starting around Easter. Right now I think I'll either be awake all night or passing out from hyperventilating
WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP, I'm going to run away with the circus again

Yay circus! Congrat mate! 
All this thinking of possible Futurama quotes is making me want to get a shirt saying "I Hate Bottles"

So, in other news, the bar where I was working as a manager has just CLOSED, I only got one single days notice and even then not even with the courtesy of a phone call BUT A TEXT MESSAGE
YOU DON'T TELL SOMEONE THEY DON'T HAVE A JOB WITH A FREAKING TEXT MESSAGE, YOU CAN AT LEAST HAVE THE COMMON DECENCY TO CALL ME OR BETTER STILL, TELL ME FACE TO FACE INSTEAD OF HIDING BEHIND A FRIGGEN PHONE *sashen frashen mutter grumble*

My last girlfriend had the 'decency' to end our relationship over MSN, so I understand how annoyed you are. Your bar employed what, 30ish people max? They really could've taken the time to talk personally to each and every person, or better yet have the wisdom to tell everyone that they aren't going well a few weeks earlier.
That being said, I'm sure you'll be able to find a new job somewhere - hospitality could always use more people!

30 people? try 4, not too hard to call 4 people and tell them they don't have a job. I'm sure I'll find another job, heck, maybe the circus will call me and tell me I'm going on tour with them, that would be cool.

Hey.. at least they did text you.. a guy I know who's a chef came into work one day to find the baliffs repossessing the kitchen..
On a side note, while I was in Malaysia, there was a government campaign to persuade guys to not divorce their wives by text.. You know, Islamic tradition, saying 'I divorce you' 3 times.. even easier if you just send the same one repeatedly..
Sorry for lack of sympathy, I'd be nicer if I had a job.
