This week:
Stars HeadsUp Cash: sick headsup downswings after moving up. will move down and grind some more. Such Herocallers killing me in big pots. Thankfully I made some withdrawals though 
Boss Media ICOP Series: Grinded nice stack in event #1 (€100k Guaranteed) w/ 150 players left.. Also had 10% of 2 guys in top 10. so we’re looking pretty sweet for one of use getting final table (€25k for 1st).. The server connection died and booted everyone off. They cancel the tournament, we all get and ICM chop, which is disgusting but better than a refund, and I want to kill someone.
Other Boss Tournaments: 2nd in someting early in the week, a few ft bubbbles, and lost this sick pot in the 9:30 am rebuy when I was chipleader w/ 30 left. oops!
Boss Cash:
not really dabbled here in a while. however today I played a bunch of €2/€4 this morning as I had some good reads on some of the players (some ex $1/$2 players who had moved up, and some spewy lagtard) and was confident I wouldn’t get blasted off the table. Didn’t run particularly well and ended up down one buyin at the end, after swings of being up 4-5 buyi-ins 
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3966264 - (euros currency tables.. pokerhand mangles it for some-reason)..I reraise with Aces and the board comes paired. When matey reraises I’m putting him on 2 spade overcards, overpair and maybe 2pair ace kicker.. he had been reasonably happy to fold to my 3bets before so I wasn’t expecting any 8’s to be in his range here. I just can’t fold the turn and I know the money is going in anyway, so I jam, and lose the pot : -€1,390.40 .
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3966458 - (euros currency tables.. pokerhand mangles it for some-reason).. I have 2 overs and fdraw vs a guy who plays pretty straightforward against me altho we have some “history” ahem. Anyway when he valuebets the river for this amount I’m sure I am ahead (altho in retrospect I have seen him valuebet the nuts quite weak too. oops!), so I assumed he had a set or a straight and put it in. He slowrolls me (apparently it was his laggy interenet connection.. hmm) and shows the nuts. I lose the pot of -€1,275.20.
thank god for rakeback

Heard Matt Savage on 2+2 Pokercast say that he couldn’t cope with bad beats that the guys take week after week. Like set over set, sometimes the cards just play themselves. I like your objective chirpy recount … augers well for the future. Go get ‘em!
PS All the best with the job hunting.

meh, bad beats are part of the game.. that’s why we (should) employ BR management!
