Plan plan plan.

I have a plan.

I just gotta follow it through for sure this time.

Try not to back out as usual.

Summer Conf. this year was pretty good. We were at the same spot as last year, Summit College on a mini mountain in Abbotsford. New faces, old faces, missing faces... The drive there [and back] was devistating. My dad's car didn't have A/C so we got a mighty beating from the sun and the heat during the ~1+ hr ride. Interesting group skits, amusing games ('cept the outdoor ones which felt rather pointless), a dance off (very fun to do and watch), an extremely GOOD [returning] speaker.... the food was not so great though. Ah well, as long as it filled out stomaches and didn't cause painful stomachaches it's all good. A everyone was either younger or older than me [which was kinda weird]... The same aged people couldn't make it.. ;; I brought KH:CoM with me, so I played that every so often. I managed to clear a level during the whole trip. I managed to not overpack this time either... instead I underpacked and forgot stuff instead. I, like everyone else, got very little sleep so I came back feeling a bit more tired than usual. Everyone was surprisingly high... without the help of any drugs and liquor. :b

Work was busy today. Apparently... the other front desk lady (which isn't front desk anymore actually since I kinda.. uh, replaced her) seems to be always in the air. It's getting rather frustrating to communicate with her since she either isn't understanding what I'm saying or she doesn't bother actually listening to what is being said. I want her position again (aka. my old position) because front desk is too hectic and busy. I need my surf time! You've got like other people and their desks facing you so they see everything you do! So duh you can't surf. :b Well you can, but it's uncomfortable knowing there's someone who might be watching... :3 Only the accountant lady's computer has Japanese encoding installed too so I can read my daily dose of Moon Phase. Everywhere else is no good. D: I guess I won't get the chance anymore... Okay bad to talk about slack time. Anyways, the manager from my old branch is apparently has high hopes on me (and expects me to stick around longer) since he suddenly phoned me from the other side and started giving me a 'be the pillar of support, Echizen' speech. Surprisingly he told me that they plan on merging the two branches into one now. They ARE separate companies but they share and exchange many things internally which is why I think they find it too confusing and badly organized (yes duh). He also gives me a raise right before he starts giving me his speech. Yes, more ways to keep me around huh.
"Because we pay you more, you must stay." Ya. I'd prefer benefits over more money though. Benefits are so much more useful. So no matter what, it doesn't appeal to me the same way and it still makes me wanna keep looking for another job. And yes, I still am. Casually.. whenever I come across job postings, etc.

My original plan was to leave at the end of this month but after coming back from summer conf., thinking about school again, I did some research and figured I'd be ready by next year. But for the time being, I have nothing to do before then so I suppose I'd stick around. I'd like to try and do something more productive and something helpful for my upcoming school year. My typical parents obvious don't approve of my idea knowing I'll just put it off when the time comes again... Prove them wrong? I always say I will.. but I chicken out all the time. Maybe that'll change this time. I totally need some better motivation. But yes that's a teeny weeny part of my 'plan'. Another thing includes my website. Duuuude, I want to update so bad. But I _FEEL_ so busy everyday, even though I'm not really not busy at all, but it prevents me from wanting to start a new layout since it IS time consuming and who knows.. maybe my skills suck now for not making anything for... a few months plus. Knowing I don't have time to make layouts and keep mantaining everything, I applied for another fanlisting. I'm retarded. But well, fanlistings are addictive so...

Well I received depressing news a while ago: Mike is leaving all of a SUDDEN. Gee, talk about last-minute. Then he argues I've been avoiding going out.. which is sadly kinda true. It sure doesn't feel like I haven't been out. I sure don't miss anyone o_O It doesn't seem like I haven't seen anyone in a while either. Time just flies so fast when you're full time. I didn't even realize... I feel really bad.

Old news [now] but apparently Sou-niisama's closing down his BBS because he doesn't have the time to maintain it anymore since his schedule's getting busier and busier. Everyone, including me, on the BBS' upset... It IS upsetting... the most awsome hangout spot is going to close down. Aaghh now I know how it feels like when message boards close down. I'll never close down The World BBS and Platinum Boards! (that is until this feeling wears off right :b *runs away not keeping her word*)

[note to self - more 'to do' stuff]
- get my online banking working already
- get my moblog working already too dammit
- put my EI on hold
- hurry up and figure out the rest of the 'plan'
