Why my day sucked (only partially game related)

PICTURE RELATED, THIS IS MY DESK...FOR NOW.


Well today i was informed that within the next month i will be made redundant (laid off), This prompted me to go through several emotional steps:

i) celebrate that i will no longer have to work the mind numbing job i currently have
ii) fear the prospect of another mind numbing job
iii) fear the prospect of having no steady income
iv) w00t at the fact that i get a big lump sum of money
v) cry at the fact this has to last me until i find another job
vi) listen to journey to cheer myself up, don't stop believing is a truly inspirational song
vii) think "fuck it i'll get pissed and buy stuffm then get another job"

so as too celebrate/commiserate the fact that i will be out of work soon I have decided to scar myself physically in the form of another tattoo or two. No idea what to get yet, i want a game related one but not so much the nintendo fanboy one's i've seen all over the net. don't get me wrong i would quite like a similar style of tattoo its just they seem a little...well...gay. I could go for the typical triforce, but it would have to have the wings around it and only be small on my wrist. Apart from that i have no clue. I'm sure i'll think of something.

ok thats it..i said it was only partially games related, that was the tattoo bit incase you missed it...another useless CBlog...sorry.

one door closes and another one opens.
you should do a portal one ;)

Well at least they let you know well in advance so that you can prepare and have proper time to find a new one. Good luck in your search!

That sucks, but at least it was occasion for some Journey. But I agree, the typical Nintendo fanboy tattoo is no good, perhaps one of those darker artistic depictions of Mario would make for some pretty badass ink.

Good luck with the job search.
