Awesome, bro! I'm planning on seeing them again next summer (just announced another tour/more tour dates on Facebook). Sounds like a pretty sweet trip and last few months in general. Haven't done anything other than work myself the last few months, but I did finally get a license and a car, so I guess I can finally go places. Just have to motivate myself to do it. lol

Hopefully Iron Maiden's sound crew don't drop the ball when you see them; they did a horrendous job when I (and most people in the US) saw them. I gotta start trying to travel more or something. I never go anywhere :(

Can relate; was hell where I work all through Decemver. Fortunately February is insanely slow. Missed both shows as well. L.A. Guns are still around? I'll probably be seeing Alice Cooper and Iced Earth next month, but will probably skip out on Sabaton/Kreator. Pretty excited about Helloween though. Closest thing I have to an adventure is going to Boston every now and again :\

You really should. Sounds like it was a good time. I've been getting more hours at work (but doesn't really matter since my rent shot up another $250). Did manage to get myself a nice new TV and a nice bass guitar. You been up to anything else of late? Holy shit, I just realized we haven't talked in like 6 months. lol

Never got around to seeing the Crüe. Metallica was here about a month ago, but I didn't bother since they were so.overpriced. Oh yeah, I remember you going to Austria back then. Amazing how quickly time seems to go.

Looks and sounds pretty awesome. Definitely have to go some day. Don't really have the time or money to really travel ATM and there's so many places I've yet to see even in the US (5 states in my entire life). Saw BÖC about a month ago and am seeing Deep Purple and Alice Cooper next month. How about you?

Oh and same old, same old basically. Really cleaned up on a few wagers last year. lol

Pretty shitty experience, but it should heal in over a month. Nothing more annoying than an incompetent boss. Funny you mention Maiden, I just saw them a few days ago myself. Audio crew should be taken out back and shot though. Would love to see Iceland. One of the few safe countries over there it seems like these days. :/

It has been forever, man. Was starting to think you died or something lol. Haven't been on here much myself lately either. Other than catching my thumb in a meat slicer last Sunday and breaking my PC, things have actually been pretty good. Got a job washing dishes a few months ago and bumped up to prep cook a few weeks ago. What's new/how are things in the world of L00ish?

Chest infections are always fun. At least you have a job atm, I haven't even gotten a callback. Think I might just end up going to one of those temp. work agency's as they surely must have something.

Working 8 hours a day with visually impaired and getting paid one seventh of the minimum wage. Some 400 euros per month. :P Also learning statics and later on reading articles, which shall be published on March, aiming to get in university to read psychology.

So, lots of work and then some more work and when you have time, some studying besides the work? Haha gg. Remember to take a breath and chill at some point. Maybe take a few days off work, if possible. I went through a burnout just a few weeks ago because of the unbearable amount of shit that had to be done.

I eventually grew out from smoking. There was nothing "fun", "cool" or anything worth of continuing in it. I can't even remember, if I ever fancied a cigarette after like July 2015. It only became a childish habit like spitting. I reckon the smell of my clothes and breath was horrible, even though I don't have any sense of smell myself.

Pretty damn shitty tbh. Just getting over a massive infection from severely impacted wisdom teeth and my insurance won't cover all of the extraction procedure so I'm gonna be in the hole for possibly $2,000 with no job to pay for it. -_-

Nothin' much. Going drinking on Friday, which shall be the first time in ages! (not sure if 2, 3 or 4 months have passed sober). Listening to Craft's Terror Propaganda, which I could recommend to you. :3 I also quit smoking 18 days ago. Go stalk my shouts on YesterdaysRain's page to find more! :D

Goes to show us that it doesn't matter what you know, but who you know. That and experience is worth a lot more in the real world than a piece of paper. Starting to wish I studied a well paying trade instead, went into that field to support myself and then pursued a higher education in business administration...

Don't you have to be a brewmaster's apprentice for a year or two to get a brewery job or something? I'm gonna try putting in a dozen applications at every restaurant on the far end of town and hope I get called in for at least an interview. Starting to really piss me off seeing complete morons who are lazy as all hell doing a job I could easily do better.

ScorpionsPriest
I just wish I could know if they're gonna check with the network databases to confirm it, because I don't want to get my false references in trouble for tax evasion and whatnot. I have that same problem when it comes to lying in an interview. I keep my story short and simple, but as soon as I feel there is some doubt, I begin over-explaining and that's where it all falls apart...
Actions

ScorpionsPriest
At least you finally got a call back. Still noting on my end -_- I think I'm just gonna start falsifying experience on the ones who don't do an extensive, online background check. Seems to be the only way I'm ever gonna get a call back...

It's no different here. They really know how to screw people and they wonder why so many don't move to fill all of these supposed job opportunities. Starting to wish I pursued a trade school so I'd have something to fall back on as I worked my way through business school to learn a more intellectual trade... or actually not really since I really have no special skills when it comes to trade related matters. I really wish I could just get a fucking call back from the places I apply to just to at least know I'm not being considered and why.

Like I said to you before, education is the biggest scam going. Don't know how bad it is in the UK, but the US is an absolute joke...

ScorpionsPriest
You and me both, you and me both. I feel like giving up myself too since no matter what I do I don't even get a call back. Wish they would at least give me an interview before deciding against me. Last thing I want to do right now is return to school, dig myself into a mountain of debt and STILL have virtually no prospects (probably won't be an issue since I plan on studying a marketable field, but still) since another economic collapse is right around the corner. To get a simple job in a restaurant you shouldn't need to have a minimum of one years experience or to work in a damn warehouse. I couldn't offer to work any cheaper legally...

Having that same problem myself. It's really getting old. Shouldn't need experience for most of these jobs since they can easily train you to do any job within a few hours really. How are you supposed to have experience if you can't get it? -_- Wish I could just take out a massive bank loan and invest in property...

At least they still let us use GIF profile pictures... for now. I hope they fix this site again and address these issues. Exact same shit as YouTube - Improve big time off their original channels and then butcher it with version 3. Still haven't gotten any call backs yet at the various places I applied. Ended up taking the bus across town to apply at one place and the second bus to get there wasn't even running so I had to sit at the Depot for an hour -_- You?

Yeah, now I have no more hot bitchez on the side of mine :( Supposedly their gonna fix most of the issues, but the profile is no longer one of them; trying to make it small like Twitter. Don't know what they were thinking.

They went to "Last.FM Beta" to try and keep up with the other trendy sites. It's turning in to YouTube all over again -_-

Oh, my mistake. I ended up at a crappy community college (which I will have to go back to) because I screwed off in high school. I failed one of my courses by missing 4 days during a semester. Higher education is such a scam and they really know how to play it by forcing people who aren't either ready or just aren't right for it to go there just so they can shake money out of them. Their big thing is the scare tactic too; If you don't get a degree, you'll be working at a fast-food restaurant for the rest of your life.
Actions

ScorpionsPriest
Ah, I see. Very similar to the predicament I had. So you walked away with a degree that's basically useless in the real world, huh? I'd be lying if I said I had an unwavering position on what I want to do, but I've been very active in politics since the summer of 2011. Unfortunately there are no real jobs in such a field, so I've been thinking of continuing on the path I was taking before leaving college and that's getting a degree in either accounting or business management (preferably both). At least specializing in those fields give you some real options out in the world. Things usually always work out if you try hard enough at the right thing.

I've considered doing warehouse work myself if the jobs I applied for fall through (my buddy still thinks he can guarantee me the job barbacking at the strip club though), but the hours I've st dreadful, especially when you don't drive and winter being around the corner. I'm sure something will come along for you. I know saying "long story" denotes to "none of your business/don't ask" but I really am curious, what did you study while at university? I distinctly remember you mentioning something about an interest in aeroplanes a few years back.

I think you and Darryl are the ones from YouTube I still maintain any sort of contact with. Can't use YouTube for anything but viewing videos and listening to music; they totally destroyed any form of communicating and now they don't let you upload things longer than 15 minutes without giving them a phone number, so screw uploading. Not yet. As I told you last time we spoke, I needed an ID, which needless to say I've recently taken care of, hence my having the interwebz back. I've been applying at a lot of local bars/restaurants, but I'm holding off on returning the applications til I can some halfway decent references to help my candidacy, you know? What are you doing these days as far as work? Last you told me it was something in manufacturing, no?

ScorpionsPriest
Yeah, that group was going downhill pretty quick and was becoming so repetitious. Can't say I really miss it much myself. Not as crazy about this site anymore either, but I still like keeping track of my music and now that the 'tube has been completely destroyed.... Have any luck with your search for a decent job?

I had a feeling back in '13 it was gonna collapse soon enough. Guess i was right. I think kicking everyone out must have been pretty recent though. I remember it being on my groups thing not too long ago...
