Wow look at the gaps between posts lol
It's been a REALLY long time since I last wrote in this thing. Anyway, a quick update on what's going on in my life.
Work: I quit my transporter job at Hertz and moved up to Customer Service Agent at Hertz. Yeah, I know, big change, right? Anyway, I found that job to be a little stressful. Everyone who comes in from the airport are angry and hungry and just want to get out of the airport. This whole rental car business is weird. Here's the thing, people make reservations to get a car through Worldwide Reservations. They come in to our airport location and realize their car isn't ready and blow up on the agents even though the agents have NOTHING to do with their cars not being ready. The reason is simple really, just a matter of how understanding you are as a customer. Ok, so they take reservations, of course... it's a business, without reservations... there's nothing much to do. So you get there and your car's not ready, here's where it gets SLIGHTLY complicated. So the Hertz garage, even though it's the biggest in the airport, STILL has a limit to how much cars it can hold. Everyday there's thousands upon thousands of reservations... do the math. Ok, ok, I'll explain. There's a few factors into this whole shenanigan: 1, How long it takes for slow arsed customers to get a stall empty and LEAVE! 2, how long it takes for slow arsed customers to RETURN cars so we can rent them out to the others with reservations; 3, what type of cars people want versus what they have reserved. The last one is the tricky thing people love to use as an excuse to get all pissy on you. Say they want a mustang convertible. Their itinerary states they have a reservation for a "Mustang Convertible OR SIMILAR." They insist they have a mustang convertible reserved... They were probably never told this, so I'd give them the benefit of a doubt, but Hertz does NOT rent specific models lol. This is why people get so angry, I guess... Anyway... that's too long now. Don't want to bore you any more than I have.
So I started going to school again. I have classes starting 1800 hrs and ends at around 2200 hrs. Work at Hertz for me started around 1000 hrs and ended at 1800 hrs (notice I'm using past tense). Recently they implemented a new policy for schedules. Instead of 8 hr shifts, it's not 8.5 hr shifts. They decided they didn't want to pay employees for their lunches now, but give them 2 15 min breaks. Anywhatsus, that just basically bumped my time to 1000-1830 hrs everyday. Now as you may recall (look up a few lines if you don't remember), classes start as soon as my work is done. It takes me about 40-45 minutes to get from work to school. How late is that!? And to add another 30 mins to the schedule is basically overkill on my school schedule... so needless to say, I had to get out of that. Now I'm in the process of finding a job that lets me keep my school schedule and give me time for lab work. As of yet, nothing's popped up.
On a personal note: I'm feeling kinda lonely now. Nothing to do, no TT to see. Me and her had this talk a while back, she kept reminding me that she's not ready. I know she isn't, but all I wanted to do was be with her. Stupid me can't keep my hands to myself though, no~ nothing naughty. Anyway, she warned me that if I kept trying to give her hugs or something that isn't a "just friends" kinda thing, I'll never see her again. Of course that hurts when the person most important to you tells you off. At the same time, I totally respect her decision and would be more than willing to wait. I know what you're thinking, "Go find someone else." Believe me, I've heard that soooo many times. To tell you the truth though, I don't want to. I finally found someone who inspires me and serves as my guide... my light in the darkness, if you will. I'm not about to let her go unless she wishes to do so herself. Right now, she hasn't done or said anything (and mean it) that would suggest she doesn't want me in her life anymore. So I'm still gonna be here... Actually, that's weird... because, I'll still be here for her even if she doesn't want me in her life. She knows this, that's how important she is to me. Aiya~ Sappy... getting WAY to emotional now.
On to bright stuff. Me, her and her sister went to get some snacks one day. I sorta asked her the night before if she wanted to so I could show her some artwork I'm working on for them. So there we were, had snacks... talked about some artwork and ideas for new ones. It was fun, even though, she was kinda poking fun at me. It's ok, as her sister said, I'm an "easy target." After that, they wanted to go singing. She knew how much I detest singing in front of people willingly, so she made me an offer. She said, "We're gonna go karaoke. I would invite you IF you sing." So the only way to hang out with her the rest of the day was to go karaoke... tough decision. Hang out with her and embarrass myself? Or not hang out and spend the rest of the day in boredom. I went. I was glad I did, I got to hear her sing. She seems to enjoy singing Chinese songs a little bit more than English ones since she sang more confidently in Chinese than she did in English. And I enjoyed every second of it. Her sister noticed me looking bored and thought I was. Actually I was just lost in thought. Focusing more on her voice than anything really. Wooo~ too much info there don't you think? I should go to bed or something. Remind me to write more or something... I might go insane otherwise. K, see ya around.
