My Job in Reception

PS: 2 weeks without internet and i come back to ...what? a shitty half assed bear meme that originated from when i was 15? i went through 6 pages of blogs on tlnet and the only one that caught my eye was about drink driving (hey i have some valid input!). apparently the tlnet horse banner is being replaced, and we are maybe a year away from swear-words being banned from the website as we cater more to "public audiences". the lpnet rofl thread , i thought i was in a time warp as the same "guy acrobatically climbing a mountain, and guy martial arting 2 townies after one slaps his girlfriend" are both on the latest page. no one has emailed me. no flux of messages. only thing of note is motherfucking WCG finals in 2 hours!!!!!!! (and apparently bisu and leta got knocked out *sobs* )

so ya if ive missed anything decent in the last 2+ weeks, from news to anime to music fads to starcraft (no sc2 tnx), post it here

i saw inception fyi (cinema, after turning off 3 cams after being warned by the comments), was great but sadly predictable. i expected an epic twist somewhere along the line but it was chronologically linear (although cool).

depressing

I really hope they dont censor teamliquid like that :/

ya i guess naz has the final word and he's as far from censorship as you can reasonably get, but a business is a business (if thats ultimately what TLnet becomes). basically, you concede to the wishes of your sponsors. so it'll be a choice between accepting and conceding to sponsors, or continuing as it is. however, TLnet has already achieved sponsorships of insurmountable amounts and respect, so conceiveably nothing will be pursuaded to change

EXCEPT MY GRASP OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE WHICH GETS BETTER THE MOER I TIPE

btw im trying to get ahold of the seemingly rare british series "the last train" if anyone can help
it was a prime time series about a group of people suspended in time until released into a post-apocalyptic world where they must find a way to survive.

its a huge journey and transition to make from poker to IRL jobs but im going through the same thing , as thousands of people are. head up bud

Dude that sucks, sounds like they didnt really have decent grounds for dismissal but im guessing you had some shit in your contract and you cant say jack on the contrary to them.

peace

i dont know literally but i dont think u can do shit in a situation like this. they paid me for the next week and holiday pay. i met one of the managers in a bar later and he said he'd quit, so good for him. the only issue that may arise is when i try to find another job and they ask why i "left" my previous one. sucks to be in that position but hopefully you've made at least a marginal friend by then (being in reception you dont have many opportunities to make work friends )

Its weird. Razer seemed completely fine sponsoring TSL a while ago. The companies potentially sponsoring TL arent exactly going to want to avoid gamer-talk or alienate the forum right? So i don't see how its beneficial at all to the community. However, if a huge deal comes through and thats a non-negotiable requirement then i can see why they would take it but i really really hope they don't.

FYI i'm sort of going through the same thing you are in some respects and no disrespect intended but the last option i'd want is to work as a receptionist for min wage. I'll prob write a blog about it later as i'd completely destroy your blog if i wrote it all out right now.

do whatever you want man, destroying each other is what keeps us on our toes.

you shouldnt though imo be able to find disrespect in someone working as a receptionist, or a builder, or a waiter, or a decorator, or a window cleaner, or a cashier.

some jobs are easy, some have nice people, some are laid back and some you can browse the internet. but the same jobs can easily be shitholes, with horrible people, terrible working conditions, insane expectations and coworkers who treat you like a turd.

ive had aprox 8 part time jobs and 2 full time jobs in my short life, and almost all of them i'd say where damn hard work, involved shitty people, and were thus respectable because of such conditions.

i would never slag off a waiter or a receptionist just for their job title. i know (especially from the teamliquid fags in america) they may be working for 10/hour doing jack SHIT with zero brain power and 20 in tips, but equally i know they may be working their ass off more than any poker player and earning just enough to keep their single lonely ass out of their parent's basement.

cool story to read

Oh, i didn't mean destroy as in i have bigger problems i'd want to throw out there. I just meant, it would be so long that it would completely derail your blog, few people would read it or notice it & i'd rather post something that took that long to write it in my blog.

This is why I chose never to work front desk even though I majored in hospitality administration.

seriously? i dont kid when i say my friend worked in reception for premier inn and spent 4 hours on the phone to me and 2 hours playing pokemon every shift. he actually quit his job, because he skipped work a few days for family issues (without giving notice) and didnt like his bosses attitude in response to it (to put it simply)

can you go to cheap premier league games in blackpool? =)
