Ok, so first things first, turns out that Elle McCloud, everyone's favourite person who we would feel sympathy for if she'd just straight up told me what was going on instead of being a sullen, contradictory bitch, has gone and reported my blog's URL as abusive. Good times.
And I quote; "Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook users. [www.johninthebigcountry.blogspot.com]"
So it's not like she's being petty or anything about the whole issue.
ON TO MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.
Passed the medical with no issues, I'm totally healthy and able to work ridiculous hours with little risk of dying on the spot or collapsing or getting overly fatigued or whatever, which is cool, but that doesn't stop the fact that I'm hating this job already and I havn't even done a proper day's work.
We've had two induction days, which, frankly, are entirely ridiculous. We're gonna be grunts dragging plastic sheets over wheat and that's all. I don't see why we need to know the company's history, their "vision", their policies for executives and board members, how to secure machinery which we wont be allowed near in the first place, etc.
I mean, health and safety and how to do our job, I get that. But come on, a 15 minute talk on why we shouldn't be selling company secrets? How secretive can wheat storage get?
Also, it's a 7am start, considering it's a two hour drive to get there, this means that I have to get up at 4am, to be ready by 5am. The shifts I'm gonna be doing are 8 hours to start off with, so that's not so bad, at least I get back by 5pm, but eventually they extend to 12 hours. I'm hoping to get the fuck out of there before that happens. I mean, 4am 'til 9pm? Fuck that.
Also, Pete, watch Gundam 00. It is the hottest shit ever. go to www.ifyouwas.com , they have the whole series goin' on.

Given the evidence Jon, I'd say that you were working for an evil organisation of the sort you might expect in a Bond movie, and the wheat piles are just a front, covering ex-soviet missiles or something like that. Given that you're just a nameless grunt, you're the sort who'll get gunned down pathetically easily, so look out. If you establish yourself as a good but misled character in the 1st and 2nd acts, you might just survive the final battle. Your boss deosn't have phiranas in his office or something does he?
I think you'll find if you enquire about the complaint that it had nothing to do with me.
Any risk you'll stop jumping to conclusions sometime soon?
Go on John...I dare ya...ask them where the complaint came from. Then maybe find it within your know-it-all self to apologise perhaps!
Hardly unreasonable and mentalistic...I simply said John should check his facts rather than accusing me of complaining about his blog site, because I didn't. Angry maybe, but rightly so...he does nothing but jump to conclusions! And perhaps consider that my "irritability" might have something to do with you lot! Talking of my supposed complaint, how is that research coming along John? Gunna eat your words yet?
1: McCloud, the reason I'm not jumping to conclusions, I'm carefully working my way through events, considering them, scrutinising the information I have and then coming to judgement based on the information available to me. Here's an example
1: Elle McCloud is leaving Australia after 2 days instead of 2 months
2: Elee McCloud has said nothing regarding why she is leaving except for that she doesn't want to be here anymore
[Extra information: None]
3: Judgement
Elle McCloud is a little bit annoying
Now, the issue there is that if under "extra information" I had "Elle McCloud is also suffering from a heart condition" judgement would have come out as "Elle McCloud should seriously go home for medical attention, best wishes".
However, you decided to withhold that information from me for reasons I'm sure I can't possibly comprehend but are doubtlessly totally logical. Thus, I came to a conclusion that was lacking in crucial information because it was the only conclusion I could have come to. You keep condemning me for acting without a complete knowledge of the situation, but when there's no way you're willing to give me that picture, how am I supposed to act? I'm not omnipotent.
2: I'm not starting a lengthy enquirey with facebook staff, mainly because primarily, actually contacting them regarding such an issue is difficult and hardly obvious, and second, because if you'd stop being so damned smarmy you could actually, you know tell me. But then again, passing on crucial information with regards to forming opinions is something you don't like to do, eh?
3: Just so you know, I'm not angry at you for leaving Australia and more. You've got a serious heart condition. I hope nothing bad comes of it, I hope you're ok. I'm angry because you're condemning me for your own failures, stalking my blog to make sure any reference to you from my (or anyone else's, actually) part is met with swift verbal retribution from you.
I mean, get a fucking life already.
Hardly stalking, I think if you (or anyone else) was being slagged off on here, you'd want to defend yourself. And anyway, I just said it wasn't me who complained...simply stating the facts.
With regard to Australia, yes maybe I should have told you the real reason I was leaving, but maybe YOU should have taken the issue up with me in person rather than posting on here about it, when I was probably in the room! The word spineless springs to mind....
Me get a life? You just wrote an essay of a rant at me - and you're in AUSTRALIA.
Anyway, I'm getting bored of reading this now...You stop mentioning me, and I'll stop posting.
So you'd have rather I'd have kicked off at you there and then? Look, McCloud would that really have done any good? We would have been pissed of at each other AND have to share a room, that would have been super wouldn't it?
I think it's a fair thing to be able to vent stress, whether that be via a venom filled blog post or to your face. I chose the one that I imagined would cause you less grief. You weren't supposed to be reading this blog and had your friends not taken a gander around, you wouldn't have. I'd have got my frustration out and you would be back in England. Awesome for everyone.
And actually, I had raised the issue with you. Multiple times. The shuttle bus from the airport? The walk to the restaurant? The walk back from the restaurant? the next two days? So, you can't whinge at me for not taking the issue up with you in person. Whinge about me not taking the issue up aggressively perhaps. But if that's your desire I'd be a little bit worried.
And McCloud, I wrote that "essay" to vent, it wasn't a constructive exercise that took an entire day or anything. I'd say stress relief is a far greater endeavor then stalking a blog to preserve your name in front of a group who simply don't care.
Yes, I would have appreciated the aggression actually...it shows you have a back bone at least. Also, as it happens, your attempts at discussion didn't make we want to tell you - if you'd showed a slight hint of caring I was leaving, or actual curiosity as to the reason, rather than just whinging incessantly at me in an attempt to persuade me to stay, I would have explained. And the fact is, you did just whinge... no "seriously, why are you going?" simply "MacLeod, you suck. Wales sucks. You should stay". Maybe a bit more tact may have got me to go into more detail.
Anyway, I'm over that, I'm home and very happy to be here. The only thing that still irritates me is the fact you had to post it for the world to see. What was wrong with emailing your friends to slag me off privately?
ahahaha oh my god, this is actually quite funny. why dont you both leave it so everyone else can enjoy this blog?
i would love to just add:
if people werent so freaking nosey about other peoples business, then this "blog being reported" bollocks wouldnt have happened/.
Well said, it's clearly these nosey people who have reported it....not me!!
hey jon! hope the job picks up soon, but hauling plastic sheets around sounds ace! enjoy! pete's definately right about the evil organization thing so there must be a babe around! hope these comments become a little less heated! missing you like crazy, really need a pub trip! lucy x
