*sigh*
Haven't been on these boards for a while. This is because I've spent the last five weeks moping outside the Cannon Street Lost Property office, in the vain hope that my GP2x would reappear. My unit was "informally redistributed" from the coat rack over my head as I slept on the train after a bastard long shift moving boxes from one place to another.
At the end of the day it's just a thing, right? A replaceable object. And it's true that there are more violent and scary ways to be robbed.
But I am keenly aware of how many hours worth of work went into getting it in the first place. My GP2x represented a chunk of time spent in factories dunking tuna mayo into little salads so you can nosh them off the shelf at Asda. It was putting hundreds of letters in envelopes. It was shifts in the complaints departments getting shouted at on behalf of the suits upstairs. And it was going without beer for weeks.
Having geeky tastes in entertainment but no marketable skills to speak of sucks.
Dammit.
So anyway. If anyone decides they that it's time to part with their GP2x for a reasonable amount of money, please pm me. I promise I will give it a good home.
