being in a boring marriage.

dying of cancer, or infact any teminal disease, i reckon would be more tedious than looking for a job.

so i reckon the answer would be a flat out YES.

looking for a place to live is more tedious.
especially if you are looking to purchase a home.


planning a wedding is more tedious. it is horrible horible shit.


those are the only two things I have found in life more tedious than looking for work./

between flowers, tuxes, bridesmaid outfits
outfits for the mothers
the ushers
groomsmen
food
drinjk
entertainment
a place to do the wedding
getting a minister or whatever
picking a day
planning reception
fincing a place for the reception
choosing invitations
doing and mailing invitations
planning honeymoon
packing
etc etc etc etc


fuck it was something awful.

Rob Instigator 05.14.2008 09:54 AM

oh, I forgot photographers
sampling cateres
getting the license
takingblood tests
rehearsals, reahearsal dinner
travel arrangements



fuck


I think many women do not ever grasp just how little most men actually ever think about the WEDDING as opposed to the marriage

most men want to find someone special to marry, to be with, but most women have a very good idea of what type of wedding ceremony they want. men could give a flying fuck. they just want to slip that ring on yr finger and say I DO!

believe it or not, that is a huge motivation for my consideration.

the thing is, i thought about moving like a few months ago but haven't thought about it in quite a while.

for some reason, i picture the racist scumbags screaming that to their employed foreign laborers.

interviews are disgusting. i have had my share with them and despite the fact that last time was long ago, just the thought make my guts crawling towards my brain.
however, we do what we have to do, right?
so, i wish you all the good luck. enjoy scullflower!


you know what i do? when i find something that's somewhat appealing and the pay is good, i start daydreaming about what i'm going to do with the money before i even answer the ad.

and yeah, i dread going to interviews but, like you said, we do what we have to do.

thanks and i enjoy them massively, matthew bower is amazing.

i'm glad that's the most tedious thing i have to do at the moment.

Damn Berlusconi.

you serious? i was once turned back at the border.

i hear the canucks give you "points" for your skills & education and if you have enough points they take you in. you should apply!

Everyneurotic 05.14.2008 04:25 PM

i think that's it, like if you have a good education and good command of the english language then they like hiring people from mexico and set you up for a plce to live and everything. my former ladyfriend went to toronto for two months to study english and they fixed her visa, housing and pretty much everything else issues in two weeks.

nafta works for some things.

there's also tons of trades with australia but that's not a boat i'm willing to board.

I think I had a summer job there.

I had a conversation with a young chap recently who said, regarding the Poles, that 'they come over here, taking our jobs'. I pointed out that a) my job isn't being a massively over-qualified waiter/ bus driver and that b) he didn't have a job because he was a lazy fucker, not because a Pole came along and stole it from him.

Glice 05.14.2008 05:20 PM

Not that I'm suggesting Mr N is lazy, obviously. Looking for jobs/ houses is utter cunt.

not having a job and living in poverty is way better than wasting your time at work. if you need money give plasma- btw this is the reason i havent sent your pack yet plus all of my records are in storage but im going there this week.

golden child 05.14.2008 09:10 PM

no, i biked 20 miles yesterday

golden child 05.15.2008 02:49 PM

and on the topic of jobs. How hard would it be for an English speaker to find work in Mexico? My grasp of spanish is pretty much limited to adios, hola and gracis but I think that can go a long ways, plus I'm willing to pick some up along the way. Thinking about moving there for a year or two.

well spoken and written english help tons, but there are tons of people here now that speak 70%-80% so it's kinda like very competitive and a third language would help more really.

yeah, come move here and you can play with us noisers.
