One of my favourite little music venues - and one that Manchester City Council features in its own tourist giude - faces closure because 1 person who moved in next door less than a year ago has now complained to the council that said music venue is noisy and is therefore a nuisance to the community. A petition raised last night already has 33 and a half thousand signatures.

Seriously, human being. I'm not supposed to organize this whole thing for you. The fact that I declined your offer to do this job in my spare time does not mean that I'm responsible for finding another. I don't know you. I've never met you. Stop wasting my time, and for fuck's sake, stop writing "we" in every single email. I don't have any part in this. I'll show you where everything is, when you come here to set it up. Fucking hell.

Thanks guys, the past few weeks have been kinda shitty. I'm still feeling like crap but things are looking up a little. And fraulein, you tell 'em. Go kick some butts, okay?
Just had a phone interview for an internship in London I REEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLYYYYYYY want and I think I screwed it up. I'm not sure though, it might just be my stupid brain trying to make me feel bad. There are two other candidates, so we'll see. But since I am an expert at making an ass of myself I probably did screw it up. They'll get back to me next week. I'm scared.

Fingers are crossed here for you Phone interviews are sucky - to be honest, it's kind of expected to think it's gone a bit whacky because there's no body language going on to see how you're doing.

Overpowered by anger. It's disproportionate to the actual situation. Where the fuck does it come from? Should I just shut the fuck up and accept it or let it out. Perhaps figure out a more diplomatic way of dealing with this situation. Perhaps figuring out why I'm so fucking angry with myself and everything around me that it's crippling. Perhaps just accepting that no matter how I look at it and deal with it, I am - in the end - just so. fucking. angry. Hulk-mode.

Thanks Well, I've just had a really good cry and a good talk with one of my friends. It's taken the edge off, though by no means fixed anything. How the fuck are you supposed to navigate in a workplace, where you like the people, and utterly hate the work environment?

It's a sod when work - where we spend the best and most sober hours of the day - is a downer. I spent a decade in an environment where it was sometimes Hell to have to get up and drag myself in, and yet I can't offer any practical solution to make it any better, other than try to make each day yours through whatever little victories you can muster (because each day is yours, we don't get that many). And, as I enter month number 3 of unemployment, I can promise you that even when it's at its worst, the notion that whatever you go through has a monetary value at the end of it is always there as a crumb of comfort. That all said, I hope that you can make your job yours, and that you can bend the environment around you so that everyone else brightens your day, rather than you having to do that for them

I don't know how to solve. But I came across this again, and it is inspiring and moving as he talks about the heart and to always follow it: Steve Jobs: how to live before you die. I really hope this great speech helps people and you

Trying once more to unbreak the computer that the lad test iTunes update has completely shagged...
EDIT: Many hours later, it lives! Turns out that, after all the technical faffery, it just required short bursts of swearing and veiled threats involving a glass of water.

You have no idea how much this means to me, you wonderful people. Every comment has made me cry with relief - and I don't cry very often. For some reason I usually find it hard to be taken seriously when things fall apart. And they do fall apart, even though I can be every reluctant to admit it. So thank you. You are wonderful. Truly. I don't know how to solve. But I came across this again, and it is inspiring and moving as he talks about the heart and to always follow it: Steve Jobs: how to live before you die. I really hope this great speech helps people and you Thanks for this video! It's a great speech, and it hits home. A home that a few hours ago got hit hard when I readT.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" for the first time, going home on the S-Bahn. "Do I dare Disturb the universe?" I want to be able to shout, yes!, I do dare to disturb the universe.
