I've gone from stay at home couch potato to city centre businessman in 1 week.

How ?

Prayers from my side and good wishes, D-Man. That's how.

I've lived at my place for four years now, and I've never been in the loft/attic.

Depressing, isn't it? That anyone actually cares, that is.
Personally, I can't think of a single Pixar film I'd give a "Fresh" score to.

It's 1 AM here. I should probably go to sleep soon.

More than 6 months ago, I applied for press access to Walt Disney Studios hoping to get official permission to use some stills.

I wasn't at all surprised when I never heard back from them; I didn't expect to but it was worth a shot.

Today I got an email from them approving my application.

There's not much on their press site you couldn't find anywhere else, but for some reason, this still makes me feel like a big shot.

The road less travelled might be new and exciting but new and exciting isn't always necessarily a good thing....

I punched somebody in the balls at work today.

Watch out for moose/caribou/deer/wildlife, especially when driving at night.

I really don't like my job.

On the plus side though, they will fire me by the end of the week unless I improve.

That's not a plus side. You should stick it out for a while longer at least. It always takes a few weeks to settle in and fully get to grips with what you're doing. Even if you hate it, you're being paid and you should try to look at it as "I'm gonna be the best (insert job role) they ever had!", just so nobody has the chance to say you suck and you can have a little pride.

Six weeks ago, three of us helped a fourth person get an online trophy for a video game. Took four hours. She promised (and promised and promised) she'd help us get the trophy in return. Two weeks later, she finally helped us once, unsuccessfully, and said she'd help us again the next night. But she didn't show up. The next day I see she's trying to get some other people to help her with an entirely different game. Huh?

So then the PlayStation Network is down for three weeks, and now that it's back up, she says she borrowed the game to someone else, so any plans of the rest of us getting that stupid trophy are put off until some indefinite point in the future. I finally had to get a bit sarcastic with her, and at least that got her to say that she would get the game back and help us on a certain day. But now one of the people in our group can't make it until two hours late on that day. Good grief

If there's one thing I can't stand it's when people talk like they're extremely conscientious (and your really good friend), but when it comes right down to it, well. What can you even say.

Listen to Circus!

Don't dwell on the dislike: that makes it harder. Keep a positive outlook and direct your energies to doing your best. In the event of the worst you don't want them being able to say you were not a good worker, just that perhaps you were not suited; and you will have gained valuable experience.
