Well, constant loathing will be sniffed out by even the most oblivious corporate bloodhounds eventually. Yesterday, I was "terminated" from my job via the most non-confrontational process conceivable. What is it with this time of year?
After my birthday until about mid-February, my mind seems to find a comfortable groove and inexplicably turns to mush. At around this time last year, my girlfriend at the time broke up with me. I'm trying to think of the points of difference between this event and that, but unfortunately, they resembled something all too similar - they both told me I was a "great guy"; that I'll find somewhere else; that my services were no longer required; that my performance was lacking in comparison to others and to take all my personal effects on the way out. It was a relief at any rate; it really was a rather depressing job - I always said that it was something that the opposite of me would thoroughly enjoy. Anyhow, I'll allow myself a brief holiday before I start my job hunting in earnest; oh - and I'll also be writing, writing, writing.
I bought (with my prior financial security) Eternal Kingdom by Cult of Luna, Lost to the Living by Daylight Dies and Hagnesta Hill (English Version) by Kent. The Kent record has yet to leave the CD player.

Eternal Kingdom is amazing; as is Lost to The Living. For Cult Of Luna, did you get the special edition with the gold printed inserts?
I've nearly known you a year now.
Ah crap, all maniacal and disturbed jokes aside (it's funny because I'm sure you think I'm bonkers; when really, I'm just funny!), it sucks you lost your job.
I'll play nice from now on.
If you celebrate the holiday season, I wish you a well celebrated season.
(But allow just one probing dig: what is achieved by making an unfounded correlation between a redundancy and a break up - for your own sanity don't spoil your mood at a time of year when people are more sociologically prone to the blues)
... there should probably be a question mark ("?") in that previous comment somewhere. Please don't think I'm iliterut. =(
@Nat: That's true! Almost a year indeed. I got the regular edition - there wasn't any extra tracks or anything, so I thought it prudent to just get the regular edition. But the inserts are very well made for the std. edition anyway.
@Stephen: Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm feeling OK at the moment; I like the fact i have got earlier holidays. I'll start stressing after the 4th (when I was supposed to finish my holidays.)
No no no no no no no no fucking NO.
You ALWAYS get the limited edition. No question about it.
Ride the mood: if you can't appreciate the shit in life, then you can't appreciate life. Assuming you're a total fuckup in life, this shouldn't be any more than a mild setback at worst. The only enemy in this situation is the dread you're feeling. But as people we have a beautiful ability to see the worst in it all. Life is not necessarily greener on the other side. Enjoy your time off and have a well deserved rest.
Oh shit. Ok, seriously, major correction needed:
Assuming you're not a total fuckup in life, ...
Not some evil ploy to destroy your self esteem; genuine failure to proof read my own words.
