No new job. :

No new job for me, but I did get something good out of it. I got good exposure from the people able to make decisions at my company. I was just a little lacking in the XP department but they really liked me and loved that I was so eager to step up, that I made a good case for myself despite being one of the less qualified people applying.

They also let me know that a back office job might be a good fit for me (which would also be an awesome fit in my mind too). Oh well, back to being a teller for now, let's see what happens in the next few months... :3

Pretty much, they needed someone with a bit more managerial XP.  Too bad they didn't go with me, I could've kicked butt.  Really and truly. :3

inFamous, Hospital, and more?

Stopped by the hospital tonight to visit my dad.  He was asleep when I went in so I left him be.  I wrote a note and put it on bedside table letting him know I was there.  He's looking better than I've seen him in awhile.  I think it might be because they shaved his face finally (or maybe he did).  Apparently it was a doctor's error that put him in kidney failure mode in the first place.  His doc prescribed too much of some meds that he shouldn't of...  Dunno where that road will take us, should anyone choose to pursue it.

Picked up inFamous on my way home because it's been some time since my last new vidya game.  The demo was great fun and the game itself doesn't disappoint.  It's not fair sometimes how all the Reapers gang up on ya all at once.  They just come outta nowhere, seriously..  I'm still wondering how all the Conduits got their powers at this point too but I bet I'll learn more later on.  I'm still pretty damn early in the story, or at least I think so!

Also, I did submit my letter of intent for the new position at work.  They'll be starting the interview process over the next couple of weeks.  I'm gonna make sure my suit is in good shape, just in case I have to call on it in my time of need!  Here's hoping it all goes well. :3

Oh!  Also I'm going to be training another teller here in a little bit.  This time they won't be going through teller training first so it'll be up to me to show them EVERYTHING there is to know to be a teller.  Starting from the core fundamentals to the big stuff.  Well... hopefully.

My Dad is in Intensive Care

My dad was rushed to the hospital today.  His kidneys failed and he is currently in Intensive Care.  I haven't heard any news about him yet since he checked in.  No news is good news I guess.

I'm probably going to visit him tomorrow...  I hate the guy but I don't want him to die.

Update:  Got word that he can go to the bathroom now.  I'm not a doctor but that seems like a good sign for your kidneys.

Hopefully a change of scenery!

I've applied for a new position here at work today.  There was an opening at the Birchwood branch for an Assistant Manager.  I put in my letter of intent to the required peoples and I'm hoping I make it.  I don't know who I'm up against but I DO think I'd be capable enough to manage a branch, especially Birchwood considering it's not one of the more busy ones (whereas the one I work at IS one of the busiest). 

If I get the job, I'll probably be making enough to move out of my home here, which would be a marked improvement.  I might stay at home for a bit longer, preferrably to build up some savings and pay back a few people whom I still owe money (those people know who they are).

Anyway, wish me luck!

Over Due Update!

Wow, talk about neglecting this thing...

So anyway, where to begin.  Dealing with a lot of drama IRL.  My family is proving to be pretty bat shit insane.  Thankfully it doesn't seem to be contagious, yet.  What do I mean?  Well.... let's begin a magical journey!  *flashbackrippleeffect*

Younger brother says he's gonna kill himself when he's not allowed to go see X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which was not a very good movie anyway) because he stayed home from school that day.  Tries to bash his head open on several walls and is taken to the ER because he made the big suicide threat. 

Fast forward to last week, my step sister claims downing a bottle full of her prescription meds and then calls 911 dispatch to get her.  She is rushed to the ER, sedated and kept closely monitored.  Turns out she didn't really down all her pills, she did it for the attention and to distract her step dad from talking to her about skipping work to hang out with friends.  Also found out she's been smoking and purposely keeping herself sick. She had stopped taking ALL her pills and the prescription antibiotics to treat her strep.  She's REALLY grounded.

Then the next night, my older half brother finally snaps and starts to tear his apartment apart.  His girlfriend had been beating him and finally it seemed to sink in.  Instead of doing the smart thing and reporting her bitch ass, he started punching holes in the wall.  His landlord called the police and he went to jail overnight for malicious mischief.  Good thing to come out of this is that there's now a police sanctioned restraining order between him and her, which is great because it should give his shiner sometime to heal first.

In good news, we found a new kitten under our porch.  Her name is Widget and she's a couple weeks old (I'd wager).  Very adorable and very sweet.  We originally wanted to give her up (since we had 6 cats already) but I don't think she's going anywhere at this point.

Been spending a ton of time down south with friends.  I kinda keep wishing I'd stay home one of these weekends but it just never seems to turn out that way.  Oh well, ONE OF THESE DAYS!  ONE OF THESE DAYS!

Home from AFF

Just woke up after getting home from AFF.  I'll do a better post later, but I had a good time.  That'll sum it up quite well for now.  All in all, hoping Rainfurrest is WAAAAAY better though.

Looking for a record player/turntable?

Does anyone have one that I might be able to have or purchase? :3

Preferably somebody local, but I'm reachin' out!

Had a horrible night...

But I have to keep my chin up.

My mom bought a brand new car yesterday.  A new 2009 Hyundai Sonata.  When I got home, I took it for a drive, I was just going around the block. Wasn't gonna be for more than 4 miles or so.

As I'm driving it, everything is going fine.  Then as I turn onto Smith, I feel a small shutter or wobble.  I don't think anything of it really until a bit more down the road and I feel the car leap, as if the tire blew, and the car swerves into a car parked on the side of the road.

My mom's new car is undrivable.  The transmission froze up and the front passenger side crumpled (as it should).  Thankfully no airbags were deployed.  I'm a little shaken by the whole thing, but mostly I can't help but feel bad for my mom.

I remember when I had my 240SX stolen before I had even made a payment on it and how much that pissed me off and made me sad.  This has to feel so much much worse...

I'm gonna deal with insurance companies and the like.  Because it was the tire, we've contacted the dealer and are going to work with them as well.  The tires were covered by a warranty with Michelin.  Hopefully they'll pay up.

LJ?

Yeah... I haven't used this recently.  I just never have anything interesting to say!

Marcus and I talked yesterday, we're trying to patch things up, if just enough to still be able to be ok around each other.  I don't know where this relationship will go, but I hope it will be for the better.  I don't want things to be strained or hard for either of us.  If we can get to the point of co-exisiting, I'll be a lot happier because things will be so much better than they are now.

I'm still done with relationships for now.  I'm not looking to hook up in any sense of the word.  Friends are what I have now and I plan to keep them that way.

My heart is with you. I'll hear from you soon.

Laptop Get!

I'm the proud owner of a refurbished Dell Mini 9. In super svelte black. It's amazing just how small this thing is. Thankfully, touch typing on it hasn't been as hard to learn as I thought it would be. The only gripe I have with it right now is that the apostrophe key is moved to below the period key. Definitely a weird place for it, but I'll adjust.

Gonna take the ordeal to install OSX onto it in the near future. It's supposed to be one of the most compatible netbooks for running Leopard on it. I'm gonna give it a shot! :D

It's nice to finally have my own lappy to bring places and to use, even if it's just a little tiny thing. Usually that's all I need.

Hefty Husky

With generous monetary donations from my foxy, I was able to acquire a wonderful canine compadre who will accompany me home and reside on my comfy bed, therefor making my bed THAT much more comfortable!

I give you:  HEFTY HUSKY! :D

My god it's a fox!

And he's rolling right on top of me! <3

Spent a day and some with him so far and am loving it. Going to get some breakfast soon, gotta keep him full of food.

Is there anyone out there in LJ land with suggestions for a wuffa and his fat (and wanting to be fatter) foxy?

VI Fur Meet

Oh, what would Torwin Collie do if he was here right now?  I bet he'd kick an ass or two, that's what Torwin Collie'd do!

The VI Fur Meet was good fun.  I think in total we had about 33 people at our high point which led to a crowded conference room and lots of fun dancing.  Yay to Torwin for bein' the awesome organizer and thank you Rat for letting me bounce around as Purpleski.  Suiting is tons o' fun and I can't wait to bring Silver into the real world. :3


It was nice meetin' everyone and I had an awesome time hanging out with Zeph, Pixel, Drew, Rat, Synth and Torwin the day after just hangin' about.  I'm always a big fan of more one on one meets, simply because I get to know people better.  It makes me sad to know I can't make it to Marzi's meet. :C

Power Supply Fail

I believe the power supply in my PC died earlier today. I'm in the process of replacing it but GAW is it annoying. Expect to see a bit less of me for the next couple days/week.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK!

You lucky british sods! D:

Home!

Just got back from Canada.  Had a good time at the Art Jam.  Met Marzi, Beherit, Lope, Furgeta and Delmir for the first time and had fun with my old mainstays. :3

The cheesecake meet was fun as well.  Yay for meeting Librem!  You bouncy otter you. :3

I'm gonna go shower now though, wuffa needs it.  I left my nice soap at Diesel's and Ash's place though. :(

*dances in raining golden coins*

Woot woot, I just got my tax return! :D

And being the fag that I am, I converted it into dollar coins and am now spending my time swimming through it and showering in it too. :3

Spaaaaas

I need a massage! D:

Hopefully, the hotel that foxy and I are booking for my stay will have a decent one.  Everyone keeps saying my back is really tense (believe me, it always finds a way into conversations) so I'm inclined to believe them.  I guess a tense back COULD be a pick up line, but a massage sounds nice anyway. :3
