I think he was trying to show you what you do to yourself - by doing it to himself. And then he said he doesn't do that. He wanted to show you what we see and feel when you beat yourself up.

We know you aren't as dumb and useless as you think you are. He was telling you to stop belittling yourself because only you believe it - we know better.

Evidence right there!

Riiiight there!

It's funny, 'cause its true!

What can I say, I'm a funny guy. Shows every hour on the hour and twice on weekends.

Damn. I don't feel like working.

I don't either - didn't yesterday so must today

Champagne tastes on a boxed wine budget: can you relate?

I am thinking of selling/swapping out my current Core i5, Z68, 8Gb DDR 3 combo. The only time I ever had a justifiable reason for upgrading was when my 133Mhz Pentium no longer cut the mustard. The rest have been through force of habit and, for a time, because we used to be paid incentives. So.....I would splurge on hardware every two to three years whether it was necessary or not. I would also buy games that were on sale and never touch them again. I think that I should take a couple of steps down to more modest hardware [have already sold my Radeon HD 6870], and work through my back catalogue without the distraction of messing around with the latest games.

I have been similarly stupid with my cellphone. Almost two years ago, I signed up for a Cell C ControlChat 100 contract for R80 a month because I was seduced by the idea of owning something as [relatively speaking] fancy as a Samsung Star [this is coming from someone who was previously in the R120 or less mobile device category...] What I find has happened is though I am sending many more SMSes than I used to, and using the internet a fair amount, I still hardly ever make voice calls, and so usually end up rolling over to R200-R300 a month before I forfeit it.

I don't feel comfortable with this at all.

Some context: I take home R2900 a month.

Your working as either a petrol attendent or a cashier because thats the price of the regulated industry. What exactly do you do again?

As far as your pc goes why exactly are you taking a step back? Is times really that hard? Because I can't see you getting the proper resell value.

Umn....hehe.....if I think about it.....because I feel bad about having spent so much, want to try to make amends, and want to force myself to finish my older games [which is easier now that I have sold my graphics card].....it's an emotional thing, as most of my decisions have been and are, and I think with my heart....

"Junior Administration Assistant" at ELCB Information Services.
Probably because I don't do much compared to other employees.....search for tenders daily, download cellphone billing information and rearrange it, sometimes check documents for spelling and grammatical errors, edit pictures, find information online. People usually leave after a year or two because places like EOH, SITA, or Real People pay more.

Still.....I least I have a job.
Take home amount=net

Yup.....their website makes me want to pull out what remains of my hair.

Crazy idea #5687

Can get Ye Olde Mecer PC chassis from The Boss

Hmmm.....save up for bargains on socket 1155 motherboard, RAM, PSU, and optical drive and put together a small machine for.....er........fun....and learning stuffs.

Hey.....it's after 10pm on Monday night, okay?

Oooh been a while

Perhaps i haven't disclosed what some of the others were.

Late last night, I discovered that this chip was Pure Evil, and burned it.

Uh.....Tribble.....

check the LGA pin number of your CPU before buying it.

I. Am. Like SOOOOOOOOOO. Envious.

I should have mentioned that I will be getting a new CPU too.

SP I suggest you wait, decide what your max payable is and decide what you want to go for then buy it for that purpose in mind. Besides the new intel socket is 1150 and still waiting on the successor to the 2011. Not to mention I want something truly mindblowing up from the gtx680.

Are there times you lose interest in computers and technology and consider selling or tossing out some or all of it?

/*Why do I do these silly things so often?*/

Moods. Impose a cool off time on all you decisions - a week maybe.

I sometimes feel similarly.

Thanks.

Well I managed to find buyers for most of my toys during lunchbreak.











Kidding. I guess that decision calls for a cool-off time too?

Pffft!

I'm ok for now. Pulled out of a nosedive, but may need to get professional help. On the bright side, my sister is due to fly in from England on Tuesday. I have appled for leave so that i can get away from that soul-destroying, but cozy job, and go to PE with my family.

And you are going to have a lovely time - and get back and play on your PC and stuff

Tribble wrote:And you are going to have a lovely time - and get back and play on your PC and stuff

Yeah....just need to get through work today.

lucky man enjoy

StarPhoenix wrote:I have appled for leave

without dressing it up in that fancy-schmancy edu-speak of yours, can you tell me more about appling? (in particular, how it works with leave).

do you throw it at anyone? leave it somewhere obvious and they issue a pumpkin in approval/tomato in rejection?

just when i thought i'd gotten a handle on this leave thing, they go and introduce an organic option....

hippies!
