welcome to the 21st century elroy

well... i sad it so many times... i wont buy a cell phone. today i have one. one that works and which ive just successfully txtd convoed my eldst dghtr... much to her shock and amusement.

i didnt buy it though, like all my technology, i inherited it off said eldest daughter. and got the SIM card from my employment agency. apparently its advantageous to be contactable when one is seeking employment. the most important thing that as to be done after my daughter has deleted all her crap off it, is to find decent ringtones. im thinking something lous and obnoxious to make up for all those years i had to listen to 1 sided inane convos on the bus and train. and for all those people i thought were going crazy when all they were doing was talking on their cell. aah i miss crazy people talking to themselves in the city. decisions decisions. :think:

Say it isn't so, catefrances. Looks like I'm the only hold out still standing... without a cell phone in his pocket. Guess I won't be receiving any more smoke signals from down under.

well eyed... the govt says i need a job... i disagree knowing raising kids already is one... and so my employment agency says a cell phone is advantageous. and so i bite my lip and play along. do i feel ok?? no i dont. but its what needs to be done.

no... the working people give you money so you can be there for your kids.... do your kids not go to school? get a job between 10am and 3pm...

my wife has a job... is she not there for our kids?

fucking lazy slackers in this world...

yes i realise i'm using my highly paid government job to type out shit on a message board... if there's anything i love more than abusing lazy fuckers it's irony. :thumbup:
