I have worked in Architecture for the last 12 years as a draftsman. About 5 years in I was really hating it so moved to New Zealand for a fresh start but still working in the same industry. It turns out that it is the same old shit on the other side of the world too. The last two years have been especially bad, we now have a young daughter who I get to see very little off due to the pressures of work. and when I am free of work I tend to need my own space and spend most of it getting drunk. It really started to affect the family (not that I was a drunk, but just not giving the family my all). I was getting fucking sick of it. It didnt really help that I was also working for a bullying cunt.
A friend of mine has worked as a sales rep for a construction materials/ power tools company for the last year and a half and really enjoys it. He also makes considerably more money than I do (he is 24 I am 34). The more I spoke to him the more I thought I would be really good at that and enjoy it more than I do my current job (not hard). A job came up at his company just after Christmas so I applied. I herd nothing for 6 weeks so my partner and I made the decision to move back to the UK after 7 years, and then told all our family. 3 weeks ago this company called me out of the blue out of hundreds of applicants, two quick interviews later and I had been offered the job. It meant having to tell our family that we wouldn't be moving back to the UK with their granddaughter after all as I would now be starting a new carrier is sales (an opportunity I dont think I would get in the UK).
So, after that rant, I start my new job as a sales rep in a week, dont have to work for fucking architects any more and get a brand new ford ranger Ute. I am fucking terrified as I have no idea what to expect. But, I also haven't been this excited about work for a very long time!

As much as I enjoy the Wenger out rants it is a bit ridiculous. I hate him but he is an amazing manager. Arsenal have essentially had a shit team for about 5 years and he has them in the top 4 every year (above us as Im sure gooners will delight in). When he leaves Arsenal are fucked, the only reason they are where they are is because of him. I look forward to it immensely. Chelsea can get new managers in every 6 months and it makes no difference because they have no particular style of play, Arsenal do and will be lost without him.

About as qualified as big Sam.

Watched the game in the pub (at 6.45am). I didn't think we were that bad really. Mostly controlled the game but just looked toothless in attack. Kane really fucked up a couple of chances that last season he would have put away.
Pretty disappointed with the result. Going to need a couple of away wins.

1 Nil to England.
This quote sums up the performance and all future performances:
Allardyce, who took over from Roy Hodgson in July, says he "can't stop" Rooney from dropping into midfield, claiming that the player has a "lot more experience at international football" than he does.
"It's not for me to say where he's going to play,"Its never for the manager to tell his players where to play.....

I think Sissoko was more adding to our squad for the CL. We almost need two teams for the prem and CL. Last year when we met Dortmund we got really shown up due to having to play a second string.
I am quietly optimistic about this season. We were shit against Liverpool and I think that is probably the best they can play. We still managed a draw.
My prediction is we will probably do the quadruple and Arsenal will get relegated.
