I've been used to it looking the exact same way since high school, so I'm sure I was bound to hate whatever I ended up with.

Ya I had hair down to below my butt for a long time but once I hit 40 it just didn't look good anymore. Older women with long hair tend to look older and dragged out so I cut it all off.....and when I say all off, it was one step from shaving my head the hair was so short! lol But hubby did not like it one bit. He's always seen me with long hair so I had to let it grow out. It's a little past shoulder length now and I'm going to get it cut soon. Need to find a style I like....thats the hard part!

More goddamn chatty women in the office. We need to get rid of them, not add more.

ARGH! That was supposed to go in the peeve thread.

Argh.

My sister found my Facebook page. Now I have to remove comments.

Well about obtaining the 3DS, anyway, I just don't want to get shit about that from the family - they always give me shit about getting excited about video game things so heaven forbid they catch wind of me getting new hardware, even if I technically didn't spend much cash on it. This is nothing but projection, mind you, my grandmother always gave my dad shit about whatever he was doing. All the time, she's been dead ten years and now they're moving into seniorhood so now its my turn to get that even more.

Nothing I do will ever be good enough, my interests are always in the wrong place, why didn't you become such and such like so and so did, etc. I've accepted that I'll be hearing this sort of thing for the next 20 years and when I'm in my 50s they'll start approving and being nice to my children because then they'll want to get into heaven and stuff.

That stuff about my sister trying to push that dog on me stays up, though. She needs to be embarrassed over that, she actually did take the dog in. It will soon become despondent toward her like the others and like her husband better.

Good news: I am not a total fuckwit.

This is something we all knew, mind you, but today the compliment given was, "It's so refreshing to train someone who's not a complete dillweed. It's so great to only have to tell you something once and you just know how to do it." Well, I have always been a fast learner and I also am really good at self-teaching with a lot of things. So if I don't know it or only kind of know it, I figure it out.

So yeah, new job's working out.

That's all that matters really. Did you donate it?

Getting a job interview. And I wasn't even looking for a job.

I think I mentioned something about it a while ago, can't be bothered to look really. But, whenever you hear it's not what you know it's who you know... they were not kidding.

I'll be in an awesome mood all day until next Friday, when the interview is.

I just killed a swarm of winged carpenter ants who were probably planning on forming a colony, in my very room...

with my bare hands!

May be a little late posting here (I was waiting for someone else to post here so I could get the thread up), but...

The job I mentioned a couple times earlier is now mine. I've been there since this past Wed, and the company itself is simply AMAZING, and incredibly technologically savvy -- I'm classified as an intern (part time worker with full time hours, basically a temp), and they've issued me my own personal laptop, scanner and iPhone. Given the type of work I'll be doing it'll all be necessary, especially the laptop. I'm also planning on getting a iPad personally (assuming they don't decide to issue me one -- they have them mounted on the walls pretty much everywhere), and after working with my fathers', I can tell it would be incredibly useful, which makes me want to get one even more. In getting set up with my IT stuff, I've developed the reputation for being troublesome, and not by my own doing: took my 45 min to get setup in the fingerprint scanner system (it would recognize and accept me, but not unlock the door when we tested it), plus getting my iPhone set up for the work email took another hour.

The job itself is a decent rate of pay (not minimum wage, a fair bit more), and will be long hours before much longer -- most of the people I'm working with get in before 6am and leave after 5-6 every day and they've all been putting in 70+ hour weeks. So, it'll be long work hours, but doing some fun stuff. Plus, given the nature of it, I'll be working with pretty much every area of the company, so if I decide I don't like working on special projects anymore I'll be able to go pretty much anywhere.

And at the very least I'm getting some nice work experience for my resume.

Got a photo with Johnny Yong Bosch (second Black Power Ranger and voice of Vash the Stampede, Renton from Eureka Seven, Zero in MvC3, Lelouch from Code Geass, Ichigo from Bleach, Firion from Dissidia, among others) at Puerto Rico's ComicCon last weekend.


Also got his autograph for my girlfriend. Everyone else was charging $20 for autograph, Bosch was doing it for free.

Sounds like a pretty cool guy.



I suppose my latest accomplishment is finding a workout plan that I can stick to. In ~30 days I've gone from barely being able to do one pull-up to being able to pull up to seven in a row on a good day.

Up next, a job! I hope!

Shoe shopping via the internet!

I can just keep ordering the same pair of shoes over and over again forever now. This is fantastic!

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

Took a bunch of pre-employment tests at the county center downtown, basically what I was told is that if I don't hear anything in 90 days, I didn't get the job.

Uh, duh?

But I impressed the text administrator by my high key entry/wpm scores, 252 keystrokes per minute with 100% accuracy. Apparently you need 100 to pass. Uh, lol. So my accomplishment of the day is I'm an awesome typist? I guess that counts for something.

Oh, and I successfully navigated downtown and all its one-way bullshit without killing anyone. I guess that counts, too. (This would be the second time I've ever been in downtown Tampa in the three-ish years I've lived here.)
