What kind of job is it? Hours?

Cause I'm also a busy man with a full time job yet any time after half past five in the afternoon you can find me around for the entire remaining day replying to threads

I only do it when things get slow around the office, though.

My guess is that he's young, full of energy and out having fun every night, unlike us tired old fossils and our "in bed by eight" lifestyles.

So what is your new job out of curiosity? It must be more impressive than those of us, like Knighdramon and myself, who are in full time employment but are still regular posters. I'd be guessing it's something that puts your art degree to full use?

ha! speak for yourself! I got to bed at 10.30...sometimes even 11.

...hooray

To be fair, us liberal arts majors have difficulty in concentrating on more than one thing at a time.

Had an unwanted grown up ordeal to deal with today. Long story short my new car has been written off and I'm waiting for a steering wheel shaped bruise to appear on my chest. Man, being an adult is bullshit there is so much paperwork.

Ouch. That sucks. Hope you (and anyone else involved) are OK, your chest bruises excepted. That's definitely the main thing. A car is just a piece of tin to use as a tool, after all, and who hasn't been involved in a prang? One of those (admittedly annoying) things.

Anyone else involved? Insurance-wise it generally boils down to the front of whose car hit whom; i.e. if someone goes into the back or side of you, they're considered at fault, otherwise it's assumed you weren't keeping sufficient distance.

Ouch. ouchouchouch. Hope everyone is okay.

I'm on Parental leave... and I took the combined Maternity and Parental leave, which gave me 12 months off. So I can post whenever the fudge I want!

When baby is distracted/is asleep/Until late April, anyway.

Went to hospital today and got prodded and an x-ray done. Thankfully there are no breaks just a bruised sternum and whiplash related injuries. They told me to take pain killers regularly and no physical activity until the pain goes away but because its a chest injury that could mean no more roller derby for 8-12 weeks.

I got to work ok as my neighbour was incredibly kind and gave me a lift in the morning and I got the train home to find my courtesy car had arrived. The worst part is all the faff involved with sorting out insurance/travel/courtesy car/hospital but at least the guy who caused the accident has admitted full responsibility so everyone involved can claim of that prick. Its just a massive inconvenience I could've really done without, I've certainly felt out of my depth the last couple days.

Pfft, grownup stuff eh? Waddayagonnado?

Glad to hear you're doing better and you've got a replacement car for now.

Sadly this whole ordeal isn't necessarily an adult situation...I know I'm older than you and never involved in any such situations because I don't drive

Can't really call somebody a prick when they've done the adult thing and admitted full responsibility though

You're not still in York, right?

Nope. I was on my way there when the accident happened though

Considering that 9 out of 10 people working in York aren't living in York, a road accident here and there is bound to happen.
