I went back to work for the first time since Mom died, and I have to say it was really nice to be back. I've complained about the job itself, of course, but I do have really great co-workers for the most part-one of the even gave me a present, a Naruto keychain and Kyuubi Naruto plushie. He's known me the longest, since I was working at the Westwood Store, and is kind of like an older brother to me, and it really touched me. Which makes me a little uncertain about my possible transfer to the new store opening up downtown. On one hand, if I went the commute would be halved, I'd get a pay raise and a better position as one of the two only experienced employees at the store, which would come in handy now that I'm working less days. On the other, I'd definitely wouldn't like to be in the area too long after dark, I'd probably have to help open or close (which means starting early or leaving very late, neither fun options), and I don't know if I'd like the people I work with. It's something I'll have to think about. At least Rene would be with me if I went.

I'm really tired though. I guess all that time away made me soft.

Just had my first day of school, and it wasn't bad at all. It's a bit early to tell, admittedly, and I still have one more class on Thursday, but I have a hopeful feeling in general. I especially think my decision to take classes earlier in the morning was a good one. Waking up for them may be a pain, but I really felt like I was wasting a lot of my day taking all night classes like I did for Spring semester. At least this way 2/3 of the time I'll be out by 5 and can stop by Santouka for a nice bowl of ramen...which I actually plan on doing in a bit, because I ♥ ramen and it's been FOUR whole days since my last bowl.

Yes, I have an addictive personality, how did you ever guess?

I have to give a great deal of credit for my good mood to the ever fabulous yukari_rin, whose greatness can only be expressed in terms of infinity. After the Ball, her lovely MA fic of historical Archer x Rin goodness, was pure, undiluted genius. You can read it, as well as all my gushing fangirlism comments to it at the above link. Check it out and raise your voice in praise of Rin! *shakes fist at net* Praiiiiiisse heeeeeerrrrrrr!!!!

She even took my mind off of how Famima totally screwed me out of $100 worth of work, something that really freaking pissed me off. I talked with the manager, and he said that a special check making up the difference should be getting to me soon, but that still doesn't change the fact it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Not to mention he didn't say how long it would take and if I would get it in my home mail or at work. [/uber-pissed] I swear to God, as soon as something else I think I can tolerate opens up at the 3rd Street Promenade, I'm quitting so fast I'll leave dust clouds. Bad enough that I have to put up with asshole customers, the garbage of asshole customers, and crazy homeless people, but getting paid less than I should? No. Fucking. Way.

And because I just have to put this part of my chat with yukari_rin up-it's too funny not to:

Yuurei-san says:
Fortunately, I do, though if I ever lose a regular source of income I'll probably be reduced to selling my organs on the black market to feed my fix. @_______@
jet girl says:
Haha
Yuurei-san says:
Me: I mean, what has my heart ever done for me?
jet girl says:
*laughs*
Yuurei-san says:
Me: Does a spleen even *do* anything? Really?
jet girl says:
:]
Yuurei-san says:
I actually really don't know? Is it the floating rib equivalent of an organ? *wikis it*
Yuurei-san says:
"The spleen is an organ located in the abdomen, where it functions in the destruction of old red blood cells and holding a reservoir of blood. It is regarded as one of the centers of activity of the reticuloendothelial system (part of the immune system). Until recently, the purpose of the spleen was not known. "
Yuurei-san says:
That last part made me laugh
Yuurei-san says:
Like, even doctors didn't know until recently XDD
jet girl says:
Hahahaha.
Yuurei-san says:
Which is pretty sad, when you think about it
Yuurei-san says:
Like, all that focus on heart/liver/intestines, but not the humble spleen?
Yuurei-san says:
It's so much fun to say spleen too
jet girl says:
XDD
Yuurei-san says:
Try it
Yuurei-san says:
"Spleen."
jet girl says:
I'm laughing too much to say it.
jet girl says:

jet girl says:
*is shot*
Yuurei-san says:
"Spleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen."
jet girl says:
*chokes*


I love you, Rin. XDDDD Marry me, please. LOVE IS THICKER THAN BLOOD~~~~~!!!! ♥

Edit: I claimed Yoruichi at iam_the community! Check out the banner, made by fabulous mod systematic:

GAAAHHHHH. It's been So. Freaking. Hot. lately. I actually meant to do this post yesterday, but put it off, thinking "Surely it'll be cooler tomorrow!"


Ha. Ha. Hahahahahahhahahahaha. -_______-

Bright spot is I finally got my physical done. The waiting part took 3 hours, added up all together, but at least it's done, and I won't have to worry about a pay cut now. Ironically, I got it done just as I am starting to get really, really, really sick of Famima, but there you have it. A regular paycheck certainly takes a good deal of bile away....though not all of it. To reward myself, I went down to Little Tokyo, since I was downtown anyway, and stopped by Kino's and Orochon's, for cute Nyanko-tan cell phone strap/stickers and oishii spicy ramen (I always have a runny nose after eating there, swear to God), respectively.

yukari_rin, you'll get to see the stickers on the envelops your letter will be coming in, SINCE THE POST OFFICE SENT ME BACK THE LETTER I WROTE TO YOU, AGAIN, DESPITE IT BEING IN THE SAME KIND OF ENVELOPE AS FUJI-NEE'S (WHO ACTUALLY GOT HERS IN TWO FREAKING DAYS). *FROTHS AT MOUTH*

I'm convinced they keep on being intercepted by some bitter postal worker who hates pink and cuteness. -______- I got your letter, so it really pisses me off that you haven't gotten yours yet in spite of two seperate attempts to send it.

Luckily, Fujinee's wonderful foray into the world of angsty-yet-sexy Archer x Rin, the song bird still sings for me proved to be the perfect balm for my mood, which is why I'm merely grumpy instead of enraged. Check it out. Ah, Fuji~~~<3 If only everyone had a nee-san like you. World peace in five minutes, for sure. And Nyanko-Tan for all!

Also, my dad brought mah cute little doggeh with him and mah sis(and sis's dog) to the Promenade when he picked me up. The sight of her fluffy little tail wagging was an instant happiness boost. @_______@ I'm pretty sure I disgraced myself in front of my co-workers with my "Mommy's here, baby bear, oh, you SO fluffy!! Who's a cute girl? You are! You are!!!!!<3"-ish gushing. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND MY LOOOOOOOOOVE.
