Weekendism & some

Hello! There's so much to talk about.. :3

AnimeEvolution = teh suck.
After AX, I think all cons'll suck. Can't help but compare with AX but AE was the ultimate suck. Yeahyeah, it's small but even if it's small, it doesn't mean it should be BORING!

AE Friday:
Duuude, I skipped out work for this day. I was "sick". Sty and I woke up bright and early (met up at 8AM to be exact), had McDix and went on our way. Got there, regged and went straight to the exhibitor's hall which apparently already had a line-up. So we sit for about mm.. 3 1/2 hours (we were 3 hours early :3) and it was only a 1/2 behind schedule. The merchandise... was rather disappointing. There was NOTHING but Inu Yasha, Bleach, GSD and Naruto... really. So I left empty handed that day but Sty spotted a nice FFS manga set. Yes, it was frustrating to leave spending absolutely nothing... despite being one of the earlier ones that had access to the exhibitor's room (meaning there should be GOOD STUFF early but no, not in this case). Um, we left right afterwards. I followed Sty DT to her workplace and she treated me to another movie [War of the Worlds!] and it sucked LOL. I personally thought it was retarded. Yes, it got your heart racing a few times but that was it. Everything was kinda dumb. o__o;; After movie, we went to White Spot for some late night food and drinks. Belinininininini...

AE Saturday:
We woke up early (sorta) again and had A&W breakfast this time. Got there and headed for the exhibitor's hall again. We were a bit late but the line-up wasn't long anyways (at least nothing compared to the AX lineups that spanned through multiple hallways and rooms and didn't require 3-4 hours prior arrival with possible 2+ more hours of delay and wait Lol. Anyways, I was trying to be hopeful by going again Saturday hoping there'd be some new stuff but I WAS WRONG! Everything was the damn same! Once again I had nothing to buy... so I last minutely grabbed a CLAMP no Kiseki package (vol.2) for relatively cheap and now I gotta go and collect the whole damn chess set. Woohoo. I still felt empty. :b After the quick exhibitor's hall visit, we went and took a nap outside for a few hours. Then we went to catch the Panda-Z Animation that was some nice very random 5-minute episodes. The opening by JAM Project is amusing, like all of their other typical stereotype superhero-feel songs. After that we fled from the area. The end of AE 2005.

That night I met up with Jo and Simon for sushi and night market. All you can eat is killer. Fukuroku and Iron Chef = Good times. Night Market was the same as always. I got myself the Gundam Seed Destiny chibi gashapon (that I wanted to get at AE but I decided too long and it disappeared...) set while Simon got the first season set. I think I would've prefered the first season set better. Anyways, now they sit on my printer. Check back in a month for its first fresh layer of dust.

Sunday. Wow I felt like a BUM! I didn't feel like going anywhere or doing anything. I was just extremely tired and slept so bloody much after coming home from church.

Yesterday. Good news for the Fish and his new job! Pretty awsome stuff. :DD Now he doesn't have to go back to HK~ More good news: my MobileMate is FREAKING AVAILABLE for a change. I gotta go pick it up asap. It's rather inconvenient to go pick up all the way at Broadway though. Ooh, I seriously need to visit Iwase (I think I'll do that tomorrow) for the delayed stuff from like last last month... they better have it by now! I got my new balance paycheque! The raise wasn't as I thought it would be (they tricked me!) but anyways.. a raise is a raise. Apparently they really want me to stay really badly.... the boss and I had a conversation and he offered to let me work whenever I'm available to help them do some data entry ( only data entry = ok; data entry+phone calls+front desk = no good). I think I'll keep them on the side for some extra cha-ching. The boss thinks highly of me (wow, that I did not know) and so does everyone else in the other divisions... all the nice comments will just go to my head and inflate my ego. It ALMOST made my stay. But *shakes head* oh no, I won't get tricked! O_O!!

Today! The post-front desk lady submitted her resignation letter today! LOL! This company is SCREWED! No data entry/custom service/freight cashiers available for this side by the end of the month! They'll probably grab somebody from my original branch though. But still, this company already lacked/lacks manpower but with less of us, they'll be in a major PINCHI! This side's manager's such a henachoko wuss. He says he's done so many things and yet he didn't do any of it at all. Instead he just whispers under his breath saying he remembers he did it and stares at the computer as if he's thinking and examining the problem when he's obviously NOT. I think I mentioned this already... but everyone in this side of the company thinks he's a total wuss too. No wonder my original manager says he gets picked on.. hell yeah he does. Even *I* pick on him! Just today he said he e-mailed one of the clients to request for some information, and obviously he didn't because he didn't get back to me. So I constantly bugged him all day for it and he just did he whisper-under-his-breath thing and stared at the computer. I offered to help him e-mail the client instead but he's like nooo I did it already and then he stares some more. Ahh what the hell. I'll remember to bug him about it tomorrow. Not to mention he waives one too many outstanding charges... no wonder this company's poor and shit. One of the clients that came by today even spoke with me about this company's reputation and wtf are they actually doing considering the crappy jobs they do. *shakes head* This is nothing to be proud of. And I'm glad I'm not going to be representing them any longer.

Training for my other job starts at the end of this week. I don't know what to expect. Mo^2 says the manager's just overexaggerating. I hope she's right... I'm not even sure if I know what the attire is. I asked her again about it and I THINK she said she gives us uniforms but... *shrugs* does that include pants cuz she also mentioned that she was wearing shorts... and Mo^2 wearing capri's and ahhh... I can't ask Mo^2 either since she's off having fun right now in Victoria. Awwwww... I hope I don't mess up. >_> The manager also said some other higher up manager wants to meet me too... eep. Am I supposed to dress nice or not on my first day then?! So confused on what to do. Wing, wing, wing it I say.

A thanks to Amy for letting me use her laptop to access my memory card. Yay for phonebook recovery and pretty ringtones! And I'm having fun wasting money on e-mails on my phone... moblog is active but not public yeeet. Hopefully I'll get to a layout sometime before I release it. Yay exciting but no time!
