pretty much pointless |D again <3
Oh, Coles. XD; You fail. A lot <3 So. The position I applied for was Customer Service - Apparel. I get to interview stage, and the manager says, "Well. Coles doesn't actually do clothes any more. That was phased out about ten years ago, but the system won't let me enter anything else. We've only got spaces in Grocery Fill, okay?" ... *dies* Okay, so shelving is fine. I can do that. XD; Better even, for lack of direct customer service. Then I get called up saying I passed the interview <3 Yeay! But they've put me at checkout. :D Okay. My sister's a checkout chick. And anything she can do, I can do better. |D
Then I get a call today, telling me training is on Monday. 8D Okay!
BUT THEY'VE MOVED ME TO DELI.
--lkjaflgkejflakegj..!! FOOD. CHEESE. RAW MEAT. lkJEGLKAJGELAKJEG. I HATE RAW MEAT. XD; (The only thing I possibly hate more is the concept of warmed-to-room-temperature milk. *dyyying*)
Hm. 8D; Oh well <3 I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I get a spiffy blue shirt, too. |D *cough*
(^this was written sometime earlier in the week |D *lax*)
Tomorrow is back-to-school. :D Then, yes <3 Training!
Yesterday and the day before, I was at cosmic_kath's. XD We watched Uzumaki (OMG, SCARY D:), and the GTO live action movie (so~~~ feelgood. XD; *squishes it*), and just over half of Fruits Basket. 8D; Which is too sparkly and cute for words. Hatsuharu is so much love that I think I'm going to have to do something about it. |D;; Like, layout. Or. Something. I don't know. I nearly died when he did the pantsu proof thing, though. XD; *adores* elakgjal. (COW ICON 8D 8DD)
