@Simon: I think of the Road Runner whenever you say "meep" :3
@Cocks: *hug*

So, 2k is nearly ready to come home; just going to download the seemingly endless list of Doctor Who episodes I've missed ^^;

I used to have a PS2 emulator setup on 2k; worked quite well, TBH

My package came in.  For the first time in four years, a visitor filled out a comment card about me and it was really nice.

Huge success, now for gamecube

@stew: aw, that's so nice! ^^

work today was AWESOME. we had like, no customers (i helped a pair of people while there were), and i spent basically the entire time helping Lacy (sooper-nice girl i've known for years through the store and is basically the reason i'm working there) move the halloween section as forward as we could. Damien was visiting from the Nashua store (King Bitch of Joann's, former Methuen (my store) manager), was super-nice, helpful, informative, and ordered pizza for everyone (i was too late to get a slice cause i was focused >>; ), i got to meet the other new hires (all wonderful people ^^ ), and even got a break today (idk if i was supposed to, but i took it and it was awesome -w- ).

i feel so fucking pumped right now. this dispels all my fears about this. i can actually do this, lol. ^^

@Kari: Yay! Glad you're enjoying it now ^^

@Simon: I've considered trying out Gamecube emulation; since I do have a Gamecube-to-PC controller adapter -w-

mmm. i'd like to work nightshift again, but i think i was hired because of my willingness to work mornings. my next 4 shifts are all morning shifts, which isn't bad, but i am going to mention to them again that i am available literally anytime during the days i'm free. :\

[Nichi]

Mmm

So far, today's been very up and down. As soon as I got out on the floor, I'm hit in the face with having to help these old ladies that kept arguing with me about every single goddamn thing (Yes, we are out of stock. No, we don't have more in the back, and no, I cannot sell you the nonfunctional display model that's just a chunk of plastic to show you what the phone looks like). Then, a bottle of Coke a customer had just bought fell over and exploded; splashing my face and spraying seemingly everything in a 3-foot range in front of it. Now, I'm on lunch...and once more find myself next to loud and obnoxious kids (One of them is just shreaking in an almost inhuman way. Also, no parents in sight) >__<;
(Plus, a random guy in line in front of me in line badgering me with thousands of questions. I mean, why do people do that? What does it matter to them that this guy they've never seen before in their life is going to college or not?)

Also, when looking at the calender, I found myself feeling depressed as it hit me that Black Friday is next month and I still haven't heard back from the hospital. I honestly wonder if I even will at this point ;_;

EDIT: Got back from lunch...and was bombarded with phone after phone after phone, with no end in sight and increasing complexity of the issues. They also wanted me to stay late to help in toys for some reason (I swear, that new manager over my department must have a fetish for displacing me; as he tried to get me to go outside and push carts one night when the only other person in my department was about to go home), but I used the excuse of having plans when I got off work (Partially true; it's mostly that tonight fucking sucked and I wanted to go home ASAP).

Do Americans have to wear school uniform?

[Cockleshell]

i never had to wear a uniform

[Nichi]

@Leaf: Depends on the school; some require it, others don't

[Chocofreak13]

what pent said. usually it boils down to private = uniform, public = not, but there may be exceptions to the rule.

welp, spent the better part of the day helping my friends Mel and Finch clean Finch's father's house; he died last year and Finch didn't know until after his father died that his father was a hoarder. the majority of the house is clean, but we tumbled two couches down the stairs and outside to a supersized-dumpster in torrential rain. as a result we were all soaked through for most of the day. got a little cleaning done before Finch's real estate agent called to inform him that--surprise!--there's a lean on the house (equity loan) that needs to be dealt with before the house can be closed. so we left early to go deal with that (and go to the dump), meaning i got home in time for dinner and Steven Universe. only things left are to shower for work tomorrow and text Steve on his lunch. i told Finch and Mel that i'm willing to help them as much as they need if we can coordinate a time.
Finch let me have some stuff from the house:

Toaster
Gnome Doll (for Mum)
Bronze Pharaoh Ashtray (for Claire)
Partial Bottle of Dawn (for the Apartment)
Knife Block
Architect's Ruler
Harry Potter Translucent Plastic Square
Bottle of Stetson Cologne (for Steve)

i was also going to take some Silverware and a Dish, but i forgot them, so i'm going to go back for them.

So many funny things happen in math class but it's all essentially "you'd have to have been there" type humor so I can't express it...

Also what is it about my hair being tied into a ponytail/bun that's so damn irresistible to people's hands?

[Chocofreak13]

i went in a full 4 hours early for my shift. it was a total accident, i felt extremely dumb, but they let it slide and no one can ever say i'm late.

also i learned most of register AND part of cutting counter today so WHOO ACCOMPLISHMENT

i need to pick up the pace with cutting counter, though....


@bells: *honks bun* .3.
