Holy hell; today was full of bullshit.
Honestly, if you're in a position where you need help, especially physically, and someone offers to help you, try not to be a self-righteous prick about it. There's no reason you need to be rude. Honestly, he could have just let you fend for yourself, which seemed to be what you wanted in the end anyway. The fact that he was actually trying to help you was pretty damn awesome. I see a lot of things on a day-to-day basis, and many of them aren't really good. A lot of them are a lot of the bad things you hear one person say about another, or the looks of disgust that are passed back and forth regarding someone.
The idea of someone taking time out of their day and doing something nice for someone else--when it's not within their requirement--is... like a message from the Heavens. I see things like that, and my faith in humanity raises a little. Maybe we really aren't a bunch of dicks and assholes. Maybe there really are some good people out there, with good intentions, and good thoughts. Seriously.
And then someone has to go be a bitch and fuck that up. What the hell.
Jenny talked to me about my salary today. Well, basically told me it was my fault that the accounting part of work was getting so complicated. About the same as when I'd done everything Dong had asked me to do earlier and she walked in and started screaming at me in Chinese. Never mind that my Chinese is so miniscule that I was able to pick out maybe one word in her rant. Something about me doing orders instead of emails. And most of the time, I would have just gotten angry, but today I looked up at her with big eyes and told her very pointedly that I did all of the orders that were assigned to me.
And just like that? She backed off. It was empowering, a little.
Anyway, back to this salary business. Honestly, it's not my fault she and Dong can't communicate properly. I mean, they both speak Chinese. They do it all the time. (They did it today back and forth between slamming stuff. My guess is something bad happened. I couldn't tell in between my work and my lack of the language.) So she decided that we're going back to the schedule, which is what I suggested like... three or four weeks ago and was told no. I'm not getting paid this week. I'm getting paid for this week, and last, and two weeks ago on Monday.
What. The. Fuck.
On the other hand, I received a message regarding egg donating again, which means they're still looking for someone. I'm going to email her back and see what kind of information I can get for her. :3 It might be tiring and stuff like that, but... Could easily be worth the amount if I fit into what they're looking for.
The job hunt continues, although it would appear that my hours are increasing again, thanks to this new vendor. I have to admit I'm liking it. Always still looking, though. There's a place in Sunnyvale looking for a Portuguese GM for an MMO, which... just so happens to be a part of what I am. (The Portuguese, not the GM.) I'm not proficient in it, though, as I imagine I'm not really proficient in any language. It's not like I'm completely hopeless, though. I could answer questions and explain shit likely with no problem. Although there may be some differences between Brasilian Portuguese and mainland, the latter of which I speak. I'm definitely thinking about sending them some stuff in, though, and seeing if I can get some more information on the position.
And there are some other things I'm looking forward to as well.
Otherwise...
Last night's sleep was majorly restless.
Nothing hits harder than a muse who is full of so much anger.
I blame the boat.
Or her man. God. Brick. xD
...Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure I'm going to strangle this player in Ele.
I'm about 75% sure. It used to be just 50%.
She's honestly just starting to push me over the edge now.
Plz to not be acting like a spoiled brat, thnx. I'm actually trying to do stuff with you and respectful toward you and the more you go on about how important you and your characters are, the more I am being pushed--pushed--pushed out of this game.
(And no, I'm not real keen on the idea of leaving a game because of one person, but being a bitch to me, is not the way to go. I don't have to take that from some girl who's younger than me and lacks the ability to respect her elders.)
