The Wrongdoer Wins
Okay after the tenseness I wrote about in my last post the situation has gotten worse and it's nearing resolution is rather unfair on the worst affect party (A)
A is moving out, J the one whose caused all these problems is staying. After bullying her Wednesday to the point A was having a panic attack so she got her parents to pick her up and take her home. I later hear from L that A has found another place to live and is hopefully moving Wednesday leaving us very little time to fill the room because if it isn't filled A gets lumbered with double rent. I'm not sure if J has realized A hasn't been here since last Wednesday and she certainly doesn't know that A is moving out and we've almost definitely found someone to fill the room, fortunately I know something who's looking. Bit of luck on our part but it still doesn't seem fair on A having to move out when J is the one causing all the problems. I just hope that J doesn't do nuclear when A tells her, L and I have both agreed A needs to tell her.
I just hope that if D does move in J isn't nasty to her.
And thinking on the whole thing I've only heard about it from L and A, J hasn't said a word to me, officially I'm neutral but if J thought she was even remotely in the right she would have tried to get me onside by now. This whole thing sucks, J should be the one moving out but she's trying to make a martyr of herself and I seriously doubt she has been looking despite claiming she was seeing if she could move out last week.
Either way provided the paperwork goes through A will be moving out Wednesday. Fortunately between L and myself we can cover the house all day and provide moral support for A when the moment comes. If it goes to this plan we'll be showing D around Wednesday evening and get the paperwork very quickly in motion.
In other news I could end up starting my dissertation research as soon as next week if it all goes well as my lecturer hopes. Well the sooner I do the research the more time I have to write it up, it seems crazy to think about it but we've only just started the project preparation module, most people do their research over the summer or in the first semester of the third year. It's going to get crazy soon if it all does happen
Like most women I'm worried about the way I look, I watch what I eat, exercise regularly. What bugs me is that despite being a UK size 6 I am still not happy. I don't like my thighs, my stomach isn't as flat as I'd like, my chest makes me feel top heavy and my bra size has probably significantly changed for the fourth time in the last nine months. I get depressed when I eat chocolate, my breakfast is fruit, lunch is bread and sometimes cheese, a snack is a health food bar and juice, dinner involves veg and some form of mash/pasta/rice followed by yogurt or fruit. I don't drink fizzy, I rarely eat crisps, I'm vegetarian, drink unsweetened soya milk. Yet whilst I feel fat sometimes I also worry I'm too thin, who wants to date a tiny little size six whose might break in half if you hug her too hard.
Arrrgh!
Continuing with the ranting this happened to me at work this Saturday. What annoys me is that had I been a six foot man it would have never happened.
So its a busy saturday, I've been on the tills for about five hours, knowing that soon I would be relived and have a much needed lunch break.
I get a customer, an entitled man, you know the type, who thinks they're the center of the universe and they're always right.
I ring his stuff up give him the usual hello and whatnot but the price of one of his items is wrong. I tell him thats the price and either he can pay it or leave the item behind. He disagrees and tells me to go check the shelf I say I can't leave the till and he says but it's this price and that he doesn't like my attitude. I tell him I don't have to put up with his attitude and tell him clearly I don't have to serve him, he refuses my request to leave so I call security to deal with it. Security and a manager handles it whilst I clear the queue. The manager gets me off the till double quick and later tells me that the guy apologized to him for the trouble. The manager said he thought he should apologize to me but hey, can't have everything right.
The thing is if I had been a foot taller and had a dick the man wouldn't have pushed it. But no I'm a tiny shortass down on the tills on her own. The look on his face when I bit back was fantastic, he really thought there he could intimidate me into giving him what he wanted. The manager said I handled the situation well and everyone who heard about the incident said good for me. Score one for the workers.
Gekiranger 49. A quiet ending compared to the high action 47 and 48 but a good one. Like the use of the regular suits, the finisher was a bit of a downer and the final sequence of life after the whole thing left something to be desired.
The ending left Retsu, Ken and Ran freakishly underdeveloped, disregarded Retsu's painting skills and his brother leaving him again, Ran who was the flattest of the cast and Retsu got teacher endings, no hint of the outside world. Ken's also leaving something to be desired but I'm not quite sure what. Jan who has annoyed me continuously over the course of the series travels and finds a Rio reincarnate. Boring. Gou goes wandering.
WHAT ABOUT THE BROTHER WHO YOU LEFT ON HIS OWN FOR FIFTEEN YEARS HUH? YOU SELFISH TWAT.
Rio and Mele stay dead (Thankfully) not that I think badly of their characters but their endings were fitting.
I'll probably decide what I think overall of this series once I see the subs
Kiva, now this I'm liking. Wataru is kawaii!! The story has lots going on already, after Den-O which was quite a fun and happy series Kiva is laying on the mystery and intrigue, interesting characters, somewhat dark, dry humor and some great fight choreography.
But seriously, if Megumi doesn't seriously start getting better and loosing the high heels. Come on I know you're a model but wearing stiletto boots when you're trying to kick butt (and believe me I'm all for girl power) is going to get you at best a twisted ankle at worst killed. For gods sake get some trainers and a better gun, your projectiles keep bouncing off. When the enemy shoots funny coloured gas at you duck behind the wall you're shooting over don't flail your arms about IT WILL GET YOU KILLED. You're lucky Kiva is there to save you FOR THE THIRD EPISODE RUNNING. Also I hope we don't get a series full of Otoya and Yuri meeting a Fangia in 1986, not killing it then Wataru encountering it in 2008 and smashing it into the ground with his seriously cool finisher, without a seriously good explanation I will be VERY ANNOYED.
So in conclusion
When people can't admit they're wrong the person in the right ends up have to make the sacrifice.
Life will get very hectic if I start my dissertation research as soon as my lecturer hopes.
Thinness doesn't equal happiness.
Cashiers are people and will not take crap.
Gekiranger leaves something to be desired.
More Kiva, MORE SETO!
