And Then There's Work...

Another interesting turn of events. Near the end of the work day, Mr. Big Boss gets my manager to call me to go and meet him. I see the Boss and he leads me to THE MEETING ROOM (I've never been in the meeting room :0). And then he tells one of the outside staff to "call the crew" in. And suddenly I find myself in the middle of a MEETING! I was then surrounded by various department heads and we begin by discussing my new job... I won't go into the details but basically my new job is to chase after people who owe us money. The meeting itself had an extremely intense atmosphere [apparently the people who owe us money, owe us a lot.. in other words, this is no minor problem] and all eyes were on me, eek? But I came out of the meeting rather excited and scared at the same time! Totally unexpected and sounds really interesting and challenging. XD And better yet! I'm now part of the Courier-side's crew! In other words, farewell si-lai clan and your smelly warehouse! I get my own personal desk space again (yay!!) and I get to work with BETTER PEOPLE! Now let's just hope I can keep up...!!

Another Eventful Day

Relatively laid back work day. Really dead, sadly. Manager reading the newspaper, front desk lady playing tetris [badly]... Oh, I've come to good better terms with one of the old geezer/si-lai clan members after working with him, counting [EW!] inventory. Bloody hell, I have to do inventory every damn morning. But anyways, at the end of the day, I got a surprise visit from the big boss and we talked a bit. Apparently a guy from the courier side [whom I recently just somewhat made friends became acquainted with] actually recommended me to the big boss [after talking to the guy, oh, 3 times total? and half-jokingly told him to ask if they wanted any help on their side]. What a sweetie :D But then the boss said something at the end I couldn't hear him say, which I think was a key for me to get the position, so uh I'm kinda screwed. He repeated it twice already, as he was walking away and the stupid other guy was shrink wrapping some boxes loudly beside us so I couldn't get him to say it again. I'll get back to the courier side guy for helping me out though.

After work, I'm greeted with a giant spray-splatter of bird crap all over the driver's side. Mmm... beautiful work of art I tell you. Even more beautiful to clean. Sakuya's first real bird dropping experience. Sakuya (咲夜), my ride btw. Oh, her first "scratch/scrape" was done by my Sofa King dad when he decided to park a little too deep into the parking spot, scratching the very bottom of the front bumper with those parking logs. You can't see it, BUT I KNOW IT'S THERE! THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS! I almost cried, dammit. And my brother laughs.

Anyways, after staring at the bird poop with teary eyes... I rushed to pay my school commitment fee. I arrive to find out they decided to close their only long office hours day for a convocation ceremony. Mmmk, good job Kwantlen staff! I received my letter lThursday and the due date is Friday, which leaves only a mere week to get your commitment money in. That's kinda rushed?! Their everyday hours are 9-430, 'cept Tuesdays and I work from 9-5 so I'm supposedly screwed but I requested that I take the morning tomorrow to do it. Ugh, smart Kwantlen, smart. Too smart for me.

Got home late tonight. Rushed on FFXI, did Escort for WHM and AF1 for BRD. Paper Knife... waste of inventory space. Next week, something a little more worthwhile, AF2 and Coffers most likely.

Internet's been sucking lately. Either Telus or the router. Either or, it's interfering with my XPing.

Hmm... I've been so talkative lately.

Aghahgahgahg WORK

I swear I do nothing but rant about work.
I should be happy I even have a job to start with?

Naaaaahhh!

So at work today. Very productive.
When I got in, I took a deep breath and approached the manager. He shoves the inventory task at my face. I was like W-T-F! The only difference was he had some other guy help me. Ugggh I hate inventory. Whatever, I couldn't exactly 'refuse'. After that was done, he told me to go out and help scan stuff in the warehouse. This time..
I was like, "Uhhhhh...."
He then said as the eyes in his big penguin head were quivering, "Is that okay?"
"Uhhh..."
"Okay, Okay?"
"*mumbling-ish* I don't really have a choice now do I... Well, my position's office. Isn't there anything office-related for me??"
"No there isn't." And he LEAVES.

LEAVES ME THERE FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
So for the rest of the day I surfed the web for notebook information. It's so awkward to be the only one not 'working', considering everyone's getting paid doing something or not. Feels a bit unfair. I sure felt it was unfair. Anything NON-warehouse task is pretty okay to me. I just dislike the warehouse.

I left asking the manager if there was anything for me to do tomorrow. He was like nothing except warehouse stuff.

Later when I got home, the big boss calls me and tells me there IS nothing to do [for now]. I reluctantly agreed to help out in the warehouse in the meantime. My own fault for not going out and finding another job so. I'll just have to deal with it as it is. Even though the si-lai clan still don't approve of me, the courier side employees are friendly, so it's all good.

Yeah about notebooks man. There isn't one out there that's POWERFUL ENOUGH! I originally wanted a VAIO cuz I'm loyal to Sony and I like the logo but their books aren't that great. I hate Acer. I see them at work. I hate Acer. For a good powerful notebook there's the Mac PowerBook but I don't like Macs. I've seen and used Simon's and it's... too annoyingly functionful [too many nick-nacks] and has too many annoying animated transitions n stuff. Just lots of junk I don't want, even though it doesn't take up any resources doing so. Then there's Alienware. It's powerful but expensive and their cases are ugly with their alien-theme. I then came to like one of Toshiba's notebooks but it isn't available in Canada right now. I don't especially like that particular book's processor choice but everything else is pretty good. But hey, what do I know.

Mmm... online window shopping

Nao 1/8 PVC is on sale.
Angel XX series is on sale.
Shinshi Doumei Cross 4 isn't in the catalog yet.

Some things to think about when I get paid.

Oh wait, the computers come first. Eh, or do they really.

More things to think about...

Work Days...

Oh yeah, ink poisoning.
Maybe.
I'm still blue ink stained.

So let's update on work! Work sucks! (when does it not, really? I do nothing but complain about work anyways). This whole week my manager was obviously having trouble finding things for me to do, so he would end up sending me to the warehouse to help out. My job is supposed to be within the office, NOT in the warehouse counting inventory and labelling. I especially hate inventory. I had to do it every morning, climbing and squirming everywhere, it's frustrating [not to mention I hate math :b]. It almost became my official morning task too. I think the penguin manager noticed how reluctant I am when he tells me to do something out there. It's quite obvious he's also reluctant to teach me anything [afraid I might just surpass him?]. As if he doesn't already have a bad impression of me, I called the Big Boss yesterday after work to ask about what the hell I'm exactly supposed to be doing and what my job really is. And yes, as I was initially informed, my position is in the office taking over his office job. The boss said he'd talk to him about it and make sure I'll be doing that Monday. Heh. I look forward to seeing how he's gunna teach me. I doubt his attitude's gunna change much though. We'll just see how this week goes...

And ya I have no life again... I think I mentioned that already. FFXI is my life. Yes, now bye!
