Final UNISA exam (I hope) in Dublin and the Guinness Store House
Submitted by laurence on Fri, 2008-10-24 08:37
After the fuck up last year of failing my last subject to complete my degree. I had 29 of the 30 subjects you need for a degree as a few pointed out to me at the time what a Muppet.

So to make right and get my fecking degree eventually. I took a subject this year and needed to go up to Dublin to write the exam. As people probably release by now I am not a UNISA student poster child. By no means at all, when I tell people I did my degree (little bit of positive vibes here) by correspondence through UNISA they normally go on about being focused, self discipled and all that stuff. I tell them I dont have it and they think I am being modest. Modesty is not one of my things, modesty sucks.

Arriving in the UK, on route to Cork

After my mammoth 24 hour flight on Emirates via JHb and Dubai I arrived safely in Gatwick airport. Its not a bad airline, the planes are the same as any other airline and the seats are just the same (small), flirt shamelessly with the checkin staff (male or female) to get an upgrade. I myself only got a fire escape seat, but that is 10 times better than sitting with my knees wedged against the chair in front of me.

So I am staying with my sister for a week and a little holiday before I start my training at my new job. I intend to take it easy, try do as much training as I can and generally potter around, trying to keep warm.

Mo's Birthday

You get it? As in it was Mozzies birthday, I had a mo for Movember and was wearing my new bad mo fo tshirt. Well it seems pretty funny at the time. Ended up a huge party night, the beer feast was a complete tourist trap. My pretzel and beer combination cost some obscene amount, that could have probably bought me a full meal outside of the water front.
Eventually we took over two benches of drinkers with a few people eating. As per normal the bill arrived and the waiter sensing my maturity hands it to me. I hate this part people are generally assholes about putting in money and when it gets complicated with shooters and 10% tip already added it is just a nightmare.
To avoid the pressure I put in my money, made a crack about Accturies being like Accountants and handed the bill to the two most qualified Acc Sci guys that where sitting there. My good deed for the day and gave them something to do.
