Do not hurt the innocent

2008-07-05T15:56:30Z

What a strange dream.

Leaving things of import behind in a place that's been seriously sterilized-- and I'd need to put special clothes on to go back in. Not to mention being with another partner figure again, though this one much more reliable. Lots of running from some sort of danger before the sterilization happened and trying to save as many people as I could before the said horrible thing happened.

It must be the junk food.

Oh, and also....... Assassin's Creed is so pretty *_*... and the idea of genetic memory is really cool. I think I might want to play more XD *shuffles off*

Additionally, time for a new LJ layout-- one that's less ghetto.

Also: If you've friended me, give me a shout out here. I hardly ever check my profile and I... well, that's usually why I don't friend back-- because I don't know!

Citizenship test

2008-07-03T13:12:46Z

Well, I'm not a savvy American citizen according to this test. This isn't something to be ashamed of to some. Then again, it's an internet test-- clearly not something people should concern themselves over.

I got most of the early United States history questions right... and a serious decline toward the beginning of the 20th century. Might be because I never studied it and never lived then. (Well, maybe once, when I was in high school-- all I remember is the comstock something or other and "Let's raise some hell and not some corn!")

But it's good for a laugh, I'm sure friends who paid more attention in school would be able to run circles around me in this respect.

Oh migraine, hi

2008-07-02T23:03:14Z

Well, now I can type, but damn am I feeling high as a kite.

Never want a headache like that ever again.

Oh, right

2008-06-27T21:22:56Z

I have an interview tonigt with Aclipse. If I go quiet around 7 PM then you know why <3

Don't know how long it will last XD But I was checking for their salary requirements and they're considerably lower than AEON. I couldn't afford it if I tried.

One of the UF jobs finally declined me. Well, three more to go~

Luckily I got a whole day in today, so that's some money toward my trip.

And every end has a beginning

2008-06-26T23:28:58Z

So that's the end of that job. Tomorrow morning I go in to finish up some stuff that's left over and then they don't need me any more.

Considering McDonalds... they're hiring. *dies*

Rain is niiiice

Stereotypes-- they endure for reasons

2008-06-25T22:36:08Z

Today was odd. I get yelled at and called racial names by just trying to drive to work. It's not my fault that a few hundred of you[insert demographic descriptor here] all decided to walk to the field on the roadway where people drive.

Really, it's called move over to the grass, it takes a moment for me to go by and I'll annoy you less. Seriously, what makes you think that you're entitled to be annoyed when you're the one doing the annoyance first? I'm not going to sit still and let you all pass before driving or something.

Sense not made? Ask me later... I don't feel comfortable blabbing details on something permanent like this.

Ahaha

2008-06-25T10:45:49Z

It's really early.

Going in to work earlier, not a problem... need the nice extra spending money 8)

Not that it's going to be spending money, but it will be spent |D

Come on, eyes, stay open-- I don't wanna go to be earlier, just adjust 8)

Work is work is work

2008-06-25T01:14:46Z

Strange how I'm doing 1/3 of the work I used to do in pharmacy and get paid more to do less.

Don't become a pharmacy technician, they're ripping you off. Seriously.

Today was interesting, the guy said I should invest in a radio or something to pass the hours by, but honestly my mind is occupied and it goes by quickly.

Occupied and not stressed, which is nice. Too bad this is temporary, but I don't think I'd like to work for this company... looking in the confidential files... these people are weird. Convicted felons and the like. Luckily those are the discharged people. But that means there could be others 8D

Ahaha, yeah. Well, I need music for listening! So are there any songs people love that they want to share the names of?

Shinra never needs to utilize paper. Electronic format plz. They'd need a Shinra building to accommodate the files 8D

ehe

2008-06-24T00:50:12Z

I start work tomorrow and I'm not nervous yet.

Please stay calm, Celes ♥

Aclipse vs AEON

2008-06-23T17:07:24Z

Something happened that I didn't expect to have happen and it leaves me wondering what I should do.

I was contacted by Aclipse via monster.com about a teaching position in South Korea (I think). I don't speak any Korean, otherwise I'd be more excited, but I've met more than a little resistance from my family and friends, so I'm a bit leery of them. I also know that if I live in Korea I'd pick up some grammar and likely be given lessons, but I'm a bit burnt out on learning another language (no matter how similar they might be). They called me today, scheduled an interview for this Friday over the phone. I told them my preference was Japan, and the recruiter informed me that they just received a contract there, but at the same time I'm wondering if it's worth a risk. They sent me another email for consideration before my interview, but only with S. Korea and China positions.

My other option, (my first one) which I'm much more secure feeling with is AEON, an eikaiwa in Japan that I've seen before when I lived there. I wondered what it was and finally figured it out toward the end, but never was much interested. That is until I needed a job and felt more confident with actually applying in other places. AEON has a more concrete schedule, more secure everything, and they're Japan.

I guess the point of this post is to ask what you all would do given this situation. Aclipse might hire me sooner-- or offer a position sooner, but AEON is one I made previous plans with and have a monetary obligation to, given my plane tickets are paid for.

My current plans are to hear them both out (Hey, opportunity knocks, right?) and choose after. Perhaps, if Aclipse is serious, they'd give me enough time to hear back from AEON. And AEON's not a certain bet that I'll be hired, either. Neither of these are, but I'm going to do my best to make myself a competitive candidate. As much as I hate to be competitive.

Whoops!

False alarm about the book, it was reprinted in 1964-65, as referenced by http://reviews.ebay.com/Is-this-Dorothy-and-the-Wizard-of-OZ-book-1st-edition_W0QQugidZ10000000002965299

But it was still pretty cool to think about, it's old for a book xD

Oh, and I have a week-long job come next week I think. Better than nothing, says I! I don't know details, but will know them tomorrow~

Old book

2008-06-19T17:57:09Z

I just found a copy of "Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz" by L Frank Baum with no ISBN number, all the art and calligraphic writing is hand-done, and a date of 1908 in it.

It looks 100 years old, that's for sure... and there's no reprint date, though it was published by The Reilly and Lee Co. in Chicago. It has all its pages, even the front and back hardbound covers.

You all think it's legit? I'm going to take care of it regardless, as it's pretty cool looking.

AIM fail x2

2008-06-19T15:09:19Z

This is vaguely annoying xD

But gmail works! If you wanna chat, hit me up there

blah

2008-06-18T17:16:10Z

So I called the temp place again, and I may have a weeklong stint, but I don't know when it begins. Will see if I'm approved for the position.

Any job is a job, amirite?

Gas station told me to call back again tomorrow, but I know I was talking to the manager. So you know what? Bump them, too. If you don't want me just say so.

It doesn't matter anymore, just going to read up on teaching techniques and the like to present properly. Lots of smiling, lots of reading. Need to go by the library to pick up some books for reading in that respect, but none of them nearby have what I'm looking for. Should go to the UF one, but their parking costs money until next week. Will make a run for the stuff there when I pick up my letter of rec.

Speaking of letter of rec, my other professor answered my request and is going to write me a letter! So that's two, potentially three.

I hope they write good things XD.

AIM fail

2008-06-17T14:56:36Z

For some reason my messaging program's not working, so if you've tried to contact me, that's what's up ♥

Sorry, it's really random, wonder what happened...

I hate bees

2008-06-13T14:51:37Z

No, really, I just hate bees. Why do you like to chase me?

That's not going to be pretty for a while. I hope it's gone before my interview...

Dammit.

Four dollars to send a 3 page fax. At the post office because you were too stick-up-your-ass to dial a fucking phone number.

You know, when I worked in the pharmacy, maybe I was really nice and that's why people came to me for help and why we were busy. Ever think like that?

No, of course not. It's not like I just spent 20% of what I have left to send a piece of bait to an office to maybe not be hired.

So much hate. What am I doing wrong

e_e

2008-06-12T20:25:26Z

So, these jobs calling me all at once can happen any minute now.

I've never had such a hard time getting a damn job. Like, ever.

Yeah, yeah, I'll shut up, now.

got bored XD

AEON

2008-06-04T21:10:15Z

I have an interview for July 29 - 30 in NYC

*ROLLS ALL OVER*

For teaching English in Japan.

*AL;SKDJFLA;SKDJF*

Onto the GRIND

2008-06-03T17:00:59Z

Well, now... now I find out that if you write a cover letter your chances may be increased.

Right, so here's to hoping I get the receptionist job. Sounds like stuff I can do. Pays well, not too far away.

Also, Tseng in Purg ): HE'S NOT NERVOUS TO MEET THE RUFUS WHO HAS HAD TWO ~~FAIL~~ TSENGS BEFORE, NO. NEVER. ~~saldjf;laskdfjaoehrweoualdsfn~~

Link also, has a bone ~~read: boner~~ to pick ~~read: arouse~~ with Sheik in regards to their ~~fight~~ spat, kay.

Leon is reading Schu's log and is amused but not surprised to learn that Wesker's mind has been seen into, and that he has certain fantasies that are of interest, but not import. ~~And what a view~~

Also, sorry for my wanktitanic recently. It's really just disgusting on my part, but so it goes.

I wouldn't be in such a good mood today if my Wii had actually died last night. I walked in and the power light wasn't lit... and when I pressed buttons nothing happened... and when I replugged nothing happened... so it looked like it was totally dead.

But then I went to the troubleshooting website and somehow made it work. So it's all good, but yesterday was pretty shitty, let me tell you.

In reference to those affected by the arrest: Friends will make it, they're strong. Won't be seeing someone for two months. Gives me time to charge my ~~over~~ level 9000 punch attack.

Woman Calls Orem Police To Free Her From Her Locked Car

I'm speechless sometimes.

miniature road trip

2008-06-01T17:30:39Z

Usually I'm going south. A new twist on things as I'm on my way northeast to Jacksonville, ya'll! See you~~~ later toniiiiiight!

One down

2008-05-31T22:29:14Z

Paypal finally refunded me my money, which should be deposited into my bank account soon. I'll call my bank on Monday and get the dollar fees figured out. (Paypal charged me a dollar for making a mistake. Nickel and diming me, huh?)

Now that that's over, I'm relieved on one front. Monday will also tell me if I got paid or not by the jobplace.

Still no word from the doctor's office. But if that falls through... and if I get selected for AEON or GEOS, I think I'll be making a trip back to Japan. Frealz, this time. (since I have to make money) Can't have it all but I can have a lot of it. Maybe this time... I'd be stronger.

Maybe this week I'll hear something. I've thought to also use monster.com and careerbuilder, perhaps.

sorry for the spam today

2008-05-30T22:02:33Z

Does anyone know of a place where I can find Crisis Core Tseng icons?

It is imperative.

AEON and GEOS

2008-05-30T19:54:25Z

Well.

At least they both responded that they got my stuff. And wanted more. MOAR.

AEON required an essay, GEOS just wanted my CV.

*dies* MAYBE I'LL GET PICKED?! Mom can't complain if I'm making money, really XD
