Another Fascinating Narcissistic Charming Intellectual

An Intellectual and His Dream Job

admin — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 00:33:04 +0000

Generally speaking, I am one of those people who would moan for ages should there be something they really want to do that is not happening and I am absolutely lost in the current employment environment. I am looking for the job I would really love to do - and this is just what people always tell me- look for something you would really love to do. Well, I have found that ’something'long time back but somehow I do not see it happening for me for some reason. So what should be the general conclusion - it is not worth following your aspirations but answering to your necessities - you need a job to earn money and, as it happens nowadays, this might be the worst job you have ever wanted to do.

I would give you an example first. I had a friend who was more than motivated to work within banking - a person knowledgeable enough to call himself a better potential banker than all the kids who go to Oxford and Cambridge. And when he actually started working towards getting his dream job secured BAM - he gets nothing in return. All the job interviews, all the applications, all the recommendations, all the professional advice went to waste - there is no such thing as securing the dream job. He, however, managed to get a job in a finance company after all - he does nothing related to banking activities but gets good amount of money every month. So what would a reasonable man conclude - all this career advice services in Universities are just designed so that people get to have office jobs - they contribute nothing to your professional development.

Many of the people recently interviewed by broadcasting and media agencies also confirmed that they have not even get close to their dream jobs. Many keep looking but… pointlessly. So even if you are the alpha male of your generation - do not aim too high and do not listen tot he words of incompetent people who only sit behind desks. The dream job never comes as we expect it - it comes under the form of money into our bank accounts so just accept the general truth - we ain’t getting no perfect jobs after all!

A Very British Concern: The Weather

admin — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:33:03 +0000

Now, I’m aware that I might be alone in bemoaning the current British climate but blimey! Whilst I’m obviously not against a good sunny day in July, in the month when I was expecting to be wearing jumpers and getting my winter coat to the dry cleaners, an average of 28 degrees in October is a bit of a shock. Sure, I’ll be saving on heating oil and I’ll be finally getting some use out of that BBQ, but… I’m a big a fan of autumn.

I bloody love crisp, cool days when the leaves are turning and you can walk through the park scrunching them beneath your feet. I really, really do. Yeah, the summer is great for swimming, and hanging out in pub gardens, and wearing shorts and that stuff… But when do we really get to do that in the UK? About once in June, and then once again in July.

Autumn and Spring are when we get the weather we’re used to. When everyone starts talking about it getting a bit parky or feeling that nip in the air whilst bundled up with scarves and gloves. I’m willing to take a bet that we have more scarves and gloves and wooly hats than all the countries that really need them, like Finland or Iceland or Norway, put together. I know I probably do, just by myself.

It’s a rite of passage, like shopping for back to school, getting a new hat and scarf and gloves for the winter. Only luckily once you’re a grown-up its less painful as you can ignore all the pencil cases and novelty erasers and just concentrate on things that you’ll actually like.

Actually, that’s one of the best advantages of being grown-up- never having to think about novelty erasers again.

Even better, enlist a helpful mum/gran/auntie or knit-geek friend to make gloves and hats and scarves to your own specification, in whatever fancy wool you choose. If they’re unwilling, just try and look a bit cold and peaky, and remind them… it’s Christmas soon…

Fascinating, narcissistic, charming heaven!

Why being a narcissistic individual is never easy…

admin — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:33:16 +0000

I don’t know, life is hard, isn’t it? Take my life for example (and we would have to, seeing as my life is infinitely more intriguing on every level than yours). As a child I was brought up to believe that I was worth something. That I was great. That I was better than anyone. My parents said it all the time and told me to have confidence in my own abilities, so I was only doing as they asked.

Then, when I arrived at Secondary School came a massive bombshell which threatened my narcissistic personality to its core: suddenly people were telling me that I was a good person, but that, horror of horrors, we were all EQUAL. I detested this. I mean, of course I saw that white people and black people were equal, but as far as anything else there was no question that I was superior. The problem was, whenever I started telling the world about this – including the teachers – people tended to get very angry. Soon after I started telling the world about all this – I was giving a speech at lunch time – I was hauled into the Headmaster’s office. He asked me what I thought I was doing and so I told him: “I am just in the process of telling everyone how superior I am, what’s the problem with that?”

He stared at me. I stared at him. This staring malarkey went on for some time. Finally he looked out his window and pointed. “See that Red Diesel Leicester lorry?” he said.

nobody is me, are they?

I said I did and couldn’t miss it, for it was enormous. “What’s it doing here?” I said.

“I don’t know, it must have taken a wrong turn,” he told me, “but that’s beside the point.”

“What is the point?”

He leaned over the table and got serious. “Do you think the driver in there thinks he is better than every other driver in the world?”

“I don’t know, shall we go and ask him?”

“No!”

“Then we will never know.”

“Indeed.” He rubbed his face with his hands. “The point is that he probably doesn’t. He probably doesn’t even think about it. The point is, really, that we are all equal.”

This prompted me to tell him he was wrong, which he did not like.

And repeat. This was how I grew up.

It’s not always easy being me, you know. But then again you probably wouldn’t, because nobody is me, are they?

See the video below for some funny things that some — not as good children as I was — say.

What a wait

admin — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 09:33:10 +0000

As I know you all so very interested in every tiny little detail of my life, I will tell you about my recent trip into my local accident and emergency ward.

It was a normal day, and I was out taking care of my lovely yard, watering the pot plants and polishing the marble table. My Vietnamese maid had taken the week off you see, I had to do it all myself. I climbed up onto the ladder to water what my female friends like to call a hanging basket. While up on the ladder, I could see my sexy, older neighbour sunbathing topless in her garden and oh my god what a fine rack she has got.

So as distracted as I was, I’m sure she was watching me watching her underneath her sunglasses. I could tell by the smile on her face. I tried to calmly and quietly climb down the ladder backwards. My foot slipped and had me skewed over one of the rungs, taking a hard hot on my undercarriage.

I tried to numb the pain with ice, with brandy and eventually got in the car and drove myself to a&e to check that everything was in order. Five hours later a pretty little nurse called my name and asked to see my bollocks. Five hours though, come on. I felt alright by then but was hungry and had a bit of bruising. I would have put in an NHS complaints claim for my time if it hadn’t been for nurse Philippa but that’s another story.

Darling, how interesting..

Recently I found myself in one of the most exclusive clubs in London (no names mentioned). I had been out for a after work drinks with a friend in central London when we had both probably had one too many. My friend came up with the bright idea of heading out to Chelsea to life the high life with like the Made in Chelsea stars and pretend that we could actually afford the life that they live. We promised ourselves and each other that we would have just one drink and then make our way to our distinctly poorer part of London.
Oh, how I wish we had kept that promise to ourselves and left after the first bottle of champagne.Six bottles and a few hundred quid later I find myself being dragged off to some exclusive club where my loyal friend managed to get up blagged through the guests list and carried on spending like I was Manchester United football player. I chose to completely forget about the meeting that I was due at at 9 o clock the next morning and carried on partying.
God knows how we got there but I opened my eyes sometime later to find that I was lying face down in some think, luxurious carpet and could hear the sound of screeching girls in the background. Not until I lifted my head did I realise that it was 8.45am and I had to be at the other side of the city in fifteen minutes. Oops. Cue motorbike courier service to deliver me to my meeting an the back of a bike.

Abroad Is Calling

admin — Sun, 22 May 2011 16:33:16 +0000

I have noticed that not everything that I have wished to do in the UK I actually did and this is how I started thinking about going abroad and looking for a better place to make a career and for a better way of earning money protected from the tax problems that many of us are struggling with in the land of the Queen.

My first look was at Switzerland - definitely the country that I would be most likely to choose if I had a say on where to earn a good deal of money without the burden of tax. They do pay tax - however, the tax for working in the country is 20% - this is the most you can pay even if you earn more than your grandchildren would be ever able to spend. And this is the good thing - that you earn tax protected money simply because you know that if you earn below the income that generates 20% of tax, you would be paying very little indeed. The job opportunities are manly related with finance and law but you can pick up an area of science or being one of the red diesel suppliers or anything else that you want despite facing a more severe competition.

Secondly, the Nordic region is also a place that I would like to work in. Swede and Norway have the happiest people in Europe - an indicator that tells us they earn pretty good money. The tax system is similar to the Swiss one plus the prices of goods, foods, services and so on is quite more affordable and is accompanied by other tax-related issues - buying a TV there does not mean paying TV license and having a house does not mean a quite huge amount of council tax. It is all a matter of buying and spending and the countries have made it clear that as long as you provide services and labour, your work would be properly financed and you will be well off with the occupation you have picked up.

Sleep deprivation! I Dont Need To Sleep Much

admin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 21:03:22 +0000

I think a lot of myself and my abilities so I figured I did not need apple mac repair London because I could fix my apple Mac’s problem myself. For days I was up trying to fix this thing until way into the night and depriving myself well needed sleep. My friend warned me against sleep deprivation because he thought was not healthy. I did not believe him so I checked it out myself.

Sleep deprivation can be categorized into two types – acute sleep deprivation and chronic sleep deprivation. In both the types, the quality and quantity of sleep gets badly hampered.

There are certain symptoms that will show you that you are suffering from sleep deprivation. They are drowsiness, lack of appetite or too much hunger, problems in cognitive abilities like attention, concentration and memory, irrational anger, feelings of tension and depression.

However, just as everything has certain causes; sleep deprivation has a set of etiological factors too. The most important factor is stress. An inability to sleep due to tension is a commonplace phenomenon. Another important factor is diet. Too much consumption of food can lead to obesity which can hamper a good night’s sleep. Similarly, malnutrition can also lead to the lack of sound sleep. Addictive habits like smoking, drugs and alcohol can cause you to have very restless sleep as well. Frequent travelling and lack of comfortable sleeping settings are also factors of sleep deprivation.

On a final note, if you are facing sleep related issues, it is advisable that you adapt yourself to the right sleeping pattern, have your dinner at the right time, get on to a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

Things I Should Have Done With My Life, Chapter XXVI

admin — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 17:08:25 +0000

I sometimes feel compelled to admit that a lot of my existence is, to be honest, a little bit pointless. That looked at from a certain point of view, I’m a bit of a drain on the world’s resources. By that I don’t just mean my parents, or the many other people who’ve lent me money or resources or time over the years I’ve been pursuing my quasi-intellectual existence. It sometimes seems like there are a whole series of economic systems which add up to me sitting in front of my laptop, typing away some random idea (like now, for instance).

But what else could I have done? With my poor mathematic skills I don’t think I was ever cut out to be a financial advisor - independent or otherwise. And I was never very good at physics, chemistry or biology so in all honesty a scientific career seemed pretty unlikely. I don’t flatter myself that I have the raw charm - or the ruthlessness - necessary for an entrepreneurial life. I suppose if one’s good at words there’s the possibility of heading for a career in law. Or, Lord help us, advertising.

No - on balance and despite everything, I wonder if the life I’m actually leading is in fact the best one I’m suited for. That would certainly be a reassuring thought! But I still feel I have a responsibility to lead this life as well as I can - with honesty, integrity (and a little bit of irony). Wish me luck!

Most female graduates won’t have to repay their loan after the tuition fees increase next year

admin — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 10:24:56 +0000

As the country prepares for another rise in tuition fees, which will amount to £9,000 a year at the majority of Britain’s higher education institutions, it has been suggested that around 80 percent of female graduates won’t have to pay back their student loans because they would be earning less than the £21,000 threshold, at which people begin repaying the loans.

This may be encouraging news for the Coalition, which has witnessed fierce protests from hundreds of thousands of students in recent months. However, what is truly concerning is the fact that such a large number of graduates, who would have paid as much as £36,000 for their tuition fees could become increasingly inclined to steer away from or even turn down higher paid jobs so that they won’t have to pay back the full amount of their fees. For example, a 30-year-old woman who owes £28,000 in student loans and who earns £20,000 a year would be better off for the next five years of her life if she continues to earn the same amount of money than having a job that pays her £5,000 more each year, requiring her to repay the fees.

Meanwhile, the government says graduates earn over £100,000 more in their lifetime than people who have never been completed a degree. However, this is an average figure, which can vary greatly. Someone who doesn’t make it into the top jobs at r4i or RBS but earns just enough to be eligible to repay their loan may even wonder what the financial incentive was to earn a degree in the first place.the second phase of training will require you to train i a rep range of 10 -12 reps 3 sets

Obesity in men

admin — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 23:33:04 +0000

Good news is there that men have overtaken women in obesity numbers with 68 percent men being obese to 55 percent of women in the same category. This may be indicative of the fact that the relaxed and nice lifestyle that men are leading in their plush villas is the reason for this gluttonous build up of body weight. So, it could be the six pack beer that is attributable to this victory in the obesity race by men. But whatever be the case, the fact is that with increasing weight, the risk of associated ailments also increases.

Some man falling in this category had therefore mentioned ‘I am in shape, after all round is a shape!”. This shape of the man is however a dangerous sign as the abdominal fat that gets this un-athletic shape upon a man results in more health hazards for the man than the fat accumulation on hips and thighs.

There is however the good part of this manly bad fat, in that with minimal exercise this mid mounted fat can easily be shed. But first to measure if one has built this fat the easiest means is to measure the girth with a tape and see that it is below the 102 cm or 40 inches mark. Anything more needs immediate attention for reduction. There is also the new factor that has come in called BMI or Body Mass Index which is the body weight divided by the square of one’s height. A BMI factor of less than 25 is what a man should strive to maintain.

In case the measurement has been taken after one has crossed both tape and scale limits mentioned above, then one must resort to a strict routine of limitations where first and foremost alcohol needs to be limited. Food intake is next to be dealt with and kept to modest helpings. In addition, fatty food is to be limited even in this limited intake.

Not just by limiting food intake should one expect weight loss benefits to be accrued. Exercise is also necessary and one must be regular at it, even if in shape and size.
