@Raduwent rather well I'd say, spent around an hour driving for the first time, learned the basics (mirrors, gears, ect)

Although I did stall the car twice, went over the sidewalk a couple of times and had a fair few moments where I had to give control to the instructor because I either screwed up a turning or panicked.

 

Lot of fun though.

Jesus you make me feel old, got my driving licence 16 years ago. I'm almost twice your age :(

I might actually have to redo everything, being an expat and not needing a car, realised the licence was expiring as I was going on holiday, then didn't have the time/forgotten to renew so now after 6 months they probably won't just let me renew :/

Oh man this "getting a job" thing turned out to be fucking hard or maybe I'm just unlucky. Anyway, I'm really bummed out at the moment due to not having anything to do during the day.. Skateboarding, yoga and climbing is fairly limited in terms of how long you can do it so I spend a lot of time doing nothing. Uhhg.

Going to Munich next week to a huge apparel trade show, my dad was going anyway and he figured that I might improve my chances at getting a job if I do. I'm not sure but I like trade shows so at least I'll get to see tons of cool product.

Keep getting treated shitty at work.

Emailed the boss yesterday because it's been two months they offered a promotion, and then never wanted to discuss details so I'm already doing stuff that the new position requires but not the money.

plus I'm the one idiot that doesn't have priority for a workstation despite without my office work the centre can't function.

boss said, for the Nth time that "tomorrow we'll talk", but I bet he won't show his face today. I just wish I could find a new job in a snap, so I could resign when he will fail to sort this in time for the deadline I asked him.

@Radu I have a couple of fun cautionary driving tales, just haven't gotten round to write.

So...Did your boss avoid the talk once again?

 

Also, It's my third month of backpacking around Southeast Asia....Found my way to a remote island in the Philippines. The road ahead is full of curves and uncertainties...got no clue where I'll be sleeping the next night.

Remote islands full of animal predators, hostile indigenous tribes and low internet bandwidth are the worst.

Been off sick since yesterday and somehow that's got me into getting more work done. I suppose since I have nothing else to really do, sitting back and grinding out as many paragraphs of text is the best way to spend my time alongside working on levels in editor and on paper.

I'd be enjoying this a lot if I didn't feel awful.

Aside from that I've got another driving lesson soon, no set date just yet but it's almost sorted.
