Today

[Mince]

Today I realised I am bored with everything.

[Roger Kettle]

Don't talk to me about boredom. I was at the Dundee United v. St. Mirren game yesterday.

[Malc]

Yesterday, Love (Street) was such an easy game to play...

Now I need Palace to win away

[Mince]

I just gave up tuition.

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

But... but how you gonna learn stuff now?

[Tarquin Thunderthighs lll]

Oh, okay, this is serious. Why? What are you going to do now? Cartooning? (That last bit wasn't serious, but the rest was.)

[Mince]

I think I need to have a long break and go a bit mad. I don't know. I wish I knew. Hopefully with as little amateur dramatics as necessary.

I have been feeling overwhelmed myself lately...but carry on this is your breakdown thread not mine.

Well, that rules out acting then.

Good luck - you're either very brave, incredibly stupid, or both. I speak as someone who has done nothing but draw silly pictures to earn money for almost 30 years now, and who is hopelessly unqualified to do anything else if that ever stopped. I hope you don't regret it. One of your students once told me you were quite good at the job.

[Mince]

I used to enjoy tutoring. I think my students used to enjoy it because I once did. Things change. I don't feel I can give them my best, or anything close to it.

I make very little in a place I no longer wish to be, and lose my evenings because of it.

Maybe I might do it again later. Some people have told me how they would love to be able to tutor as I do. But for now I think I need to get away to somewhere so awful that the rest of my life seems good by comparison.

I'm talking crap, I know, but when you have four days off, return to tuition, and hate it within two hours, you know you have to go.

[Mince]

I might half-heartedly write half of several rather crappy self-indulgent books. Maybe I could do a daily strip so everyone knows how I am getting on.

Maybe I could do a daily strip so everyone knows how I am getting on.

There's no need to expose yourself to that degree.

[Diane CBPFC]

Yes, its much too chilly for a daily half strip.

[Malc]

It's a classic scenario. We all get to a point in our lives where we think "I need a change" and it doesn't matter if we're earning big money or earning bugger all, we need a different vista.
