Hey kings and queens,

I recent bought my first pair of inlines in a UK size 10 Bauer XR, after returning an older model in a 10.5 because they felt too big and dangerously insecure at the ankles.

Now I love my XR's and they feel much better than the prior skates. But it still feels like my ankles could go one way or the other when I step. I can accept that I might have weak ankles ('wankles' I call 'em), but is it worth trying a 9?

I have tried on the 9 and 10 in the shop and at the time the 10's felt perfect in the foot itself (about 1"-1.5" toe wiggle room). But now I'm feeling insecure with no frame of reference.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as I'm not really sure how they're 'supposed' to feel. Thanks a lot!

Title. Any tips? Did I accidentally delete something?

I reset it, the miscrosoft store (which is fully updated) and Microsoft Gaming Services too. I reinstalled it from the Microsoft Store.

So I'm wanting to buy some Bauer size 10's for my size UK 11 men's feet. I heard to go a size under but that bauers ran a little big.

​

Some Mission 10.5's felt very wobbly on my ankles so I had to return them. Give me the downlow Kings...

​

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I need a new hobbie.

So I've signed up to a Saturday roller hockey club. I need some inlines but since I'm a beginner I wanted to know what some semi-decent skates would be for under 100.

I can't commit to expensive skates for a taster session, but want to not be hampered and thought you guys would know best.

Sorry for generic question. Thanks!

Hi!

About me:

I work as Location Marshal in TV and Film. I'm at the beginning of my career, but my last project was in March and before that November.

I currently work in fiction (AKA 'Scripted') in the UK. My background is in TV Documentary (AKA 'Unscripted') as a Resesrcher and Runner.

As a Location Marshal, my job is to take care of the deeply unsexy things on a set. I love the chaos and graft of my job. One day I'd like to transition onto TV research and development, or the storytelling aspects.

Why this:

This is the first month in a while I have been able to pay my rent without my GF's help.

She knows I am just starting a new career and never complains, but I want to start pulling my weight. I'm very good at my job, but my industry is one of the most competitive in the country. I have to fight for every opportunity as a small fish in a big pond.

So I want structure and accountability because I am a Class A procrastinator. I want to buy things, furnish my flat because we live out of boxes still, I'm sick of being poor and I want to pursue hobbies again.

Potential pitfalls:

Minor weed addiction, dopamine control, anxiety Overwatch.

Day 1

I'll be keeping a general log of productivity as well. Also, to note, I'll be flipping the script and considering rejections as succeses. This is because you will naturally get a low percentage of jobs you apply for in my industry. And this rejection is the most exhausting aspect of my industry.

What happened today

- Got rejection email by the team at a large iconic film studio. Not a 'production company' but a huge studio house. Very cool.

- Sent out 4 messages on [redacted film database website].

- Sent 3 messages on LinkedIn to Location Managers.

- Cold called 12 Location Managers and Assistants and spoke with 6. As a Location Marshal, they're my direct boss and resonsible for hiring me. Left messages as well.

- Called Mick Coper (name changed for privacy) as an LM I've worked with and he told me there was nothing happening and could I please let him know if there are any LM openings! 😭💀

Made him laugh and toed the line well with professionalism. Good stuff!

- Oversaw workmen fitting a new tap.

- Sent 2 follow up emails to people I had spoken to on LinkedIn.

- Spent half an hour learning Japanese.

Possible Leads

- Location Manager in my home town texted me last night saying we should meet up but he's on a shoot for the beginning part of this week. Could call him tomorrow but next week is better because he's a little flaky and his enthusiasm might not sruvive the weekend.

- A very big Location Manager told me, in a phone call, to email her Assistant Location Manager with my CV and references. So I have.

Observations

- My girlfriend is back late so I don't know when to stop working. Sad.

- 3 Games of Overwatch.

- Doing thks challenge has focussed me and made me feel less alone while looking for work. Thanks Reddit.

Goals

Tomorrow I think that it would be fun to double my numbers tomorrow. Apart from LinkedIn as it limits my messages even on a lremium account.
