Rantus maximus
Well, its about time i had a rant on here. Cant let this space go to waste on useful stuff and informative things. It’d be a waste of internets.
So. Unemployed. I am, and I dont like it. As you can imagine, living on jobseeker’s allowance is pretty hard, especially when half goes on rent and you got your half of the bills to pay. I still live with Ma, which is a bit crap. But more on that later.
All I’m gonna say about seeking employment is: Dont expect them to answer the goddamn phone. Go there in person. Now.
Moving on. We got our leccy bill today, and holy frickbeans its a monster O.O
I mean, my lappy uses battery power, takes an hour to recharge, then back to battery power. How in the hell does it draw that much frikkin power without melt/exploding/morphing into a higher form of life? Needless to say, since I’m unemployed (and therefore people assume I sit of my ass all day cocking about on the interwebs.) I reckoned I’ll get most of the buckshot. I did =_=
*sigh* And then I was called a liar when I tried my normal line of defence, consisting of “Do you think I like being unemployed? I dont, hence why I’m out most of the day looking for a job!” etc etc etc.
Needless to say I was not impressed. In the slightest. There is only so much time in a day I can go into town/Exeter canvassing for jobs. Its got to the point now where I take a week off, just to let things develop. As you can probably guess, no such luck.
So now I gotta go have a chat with the bank tomorrow, and plead with them to give me some overdraft to pay for it.
And I apparently like being unemployed. Yeah, right. >.<

Maybe you should make the screen darker? You might find this helpful: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2218
If you’re running Vista, you could use “flash” memory so Windows doesn’t have to resort to virtual memory (virtual memory: using the hard drive as extra RAM, which takes more power than a USB flash thingy).
Hope this helps. Good luck (ganbatte kudasai). ^^ Or, if you’re Celtic, break a leg!
