    If I were a man, I'd be Ness.

    This is the most terrifying thing I've seen all day and I'm not even that scared of spiders (beyond a healthy respect for not having them crawl on me).

    Dear lord. If I ever look like this I may have to force myself to regenerate.

    I'm also a little bit insulted that very little seemed to change when they feminised me.

    In other news, I'm about to write my notice for work. I've never written one before, so what do I put in it? They no I'm leaving (for uni), but not that I'm leaving this early. I want to enjoy the summer. By which I mean sit inside trying to complete majora's mask whilst it pours it down with rain...

    I wish I could actually do this, but I don't have Java and my browser apparently can't support it.

    If you want to just get to the point, something like:
    Dear [Insert Name Here]

    In accordance with company policy I hereby tender my [Period of Time, like Two Weeks]'s notice, with my employment ending on [Date].

    Sincerely, etc.

    If you want something a bit lot more friendly and personal though, something like this would probably be better:
    Dear [Name]

    It is with regret that I must hand you my resignation, effective [Period of Time] from this date.

    This has not been an easy decision, however I believe it is the right one for me to make. My time with the company has been extremely rewarding and I will always be grateful for the opportunities you and the other members of staff have provided me.

    If I can be of any assistance during this transition, please let me know. I would be glad to help however I can.

    Sincerely, etc
    Maybe not quite word it so formally, but you get the idea.

    I went for a hybrid of the two. Short and to the point, and complimenting the staff.

    I hope I get to meet my replacements before I leave. So I can go to them and say "So you're my replacements. A dandy and a clown.". The last guy who left (and probably the only person likely to get that reference) was replaced by three guys, so I'm judging how much they value me against that.

    Thanks for your help.

    So our local fire departement decided to purge some hydrants this evening in our neighborhood, which somehow caused the water in our pipes to become rusty and smelly. Which would normally not have been much of a problem, as they usually release that filthy water directly into the sewers right after the work is done, only leaving traces of the filth that can be flushed out of our pipes in not more than three minutes.
    But normally they announce it some days beforehand in the newspapers and do the purging while most people are at work, so the water pipes aren't in use and remain filled with clean water.
    This time it was NOT announced anywhere and the purging started at 9 PM while I was taking a shower ...

    We usually get a letter through from the water company when they do it. But it's never at a sensible time.

    Good choice. Take an English class or two. :D

    We never get fire hydrants purged. I hadn't even heard of the concept before now. I'm not sure what the point is.

    AARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!

    The next part of my let's play is taking ages to write. It's even tougher than the last part in terms of coming up with gags. The worst part is that I've got to go back home tomorrow morning and it's 3am now! If I don't stay up and get this finished in the next couple of hours then it'll be too late to upload part 7 until a couple of months from now!

    *sigh*

    NO! I simply MUST get this done.

    Ditto. :(

    DAMMIT JENNIFER!

    :p

    Yeah, things got... odd. I had that mini-breakdown and then my job started getting rough and... yeah, it was a bit of a rough time for me. Nothing too serious, but still not great.

    But things cleared up considerably a few weeks back and... well, I'm lazy. Whaddya want. But I'm going on holiday in a couple weeks (to the US, so if you're in LA, lock your doors and hide your women) and I'd like to get stuff done before I go, and since I've pretty much finished the 'clean my room' bit of my checklist...

    TL;DR - I'll get back to it soon.

    Oh crap! They found me!

    I mean... L... A? What a weird name that I have never heard of before. I certainly do not live there because it such a strange place that I would never live in. Not even if I was paid to. Which I am not.

    Yays! I've arranged to stay on at my parents place for a couple more days so that I can finish part 7 of my let's play.

    What will you do? I guess you'll just have to make do without my terrible jokes and tedious waffling for a while. Heck, I'd make the most of it if I were you.

    We'll have to make a sock puppet to post in your absence.

    Gosh darn it. I keep doing that lately. I wrote an e-mail to a Lord last week, and just as I sent it I noticed it began with "I am righting to you...". I'd read through it like three times looking for such stupid typos.

    In other news, I seem to have a lump on my abdomen now. Lets add that to my list of worries.

    Rude people! Jerks had there phone out and talking all through the Man of Steel. I'm pretty sure they where filming the whole thing. At lest thats what I told security after.

    This is why I usually wait until the film has been out a while before I go see it. Fewer crying babies and packet rustlers.

    By the way, I wasn't being sarcastic, Eddie. I don't like it when you leave. You're a funny presence this place needs.

    Thanks mate, there was no need to explain though. I took your comment in jest. Still, it's a kind thing to say. Cheers.

    Just know that if you come back several months from now and everyone you know here is gone because TTG has by then changed the forums to a Reddit clone, you might try finding us over at Double Fine.



    Don't do it, Telltale. SERIOUSLY.

    They know you are too far away from their office. That's how.

    It's only 2000Km. I'm closer than New York.

    Typos can be funny sometimes. I once purchased something on eBay and sent an email stating that the monkey order is on its way.:D
