The hours at both jobs have eased up a little on some days. At my worst I find myself working from 9am to 12:30pm with a short break in between then it's work from 1pm to 10pm (with a half hour break) at UPS. But so far those days seem limited to Mondays, but retail is a pain because of the constantly changing schedule. Fortunately, I believe I'm ( Read more... )

Last week was horribly busy, and this week looks as if it might be more of the same. The only break I get is the fact that I don't have to be to work until 1:45 tomorrow for a double shift, and other than a trip to the eye doctor (my eyes have been bothersome lately) I can relax on Friday before work. At the very least, the highlight of the weekend ( Read more... )

Double shifts have started back up at work. I did one yesterday and was asked to come in today. I said "no" thanks to the weekly side job I took cleaning for one of my mom's clients. Working three hours of the side job yields more pay than three hours on one shift with almost none of the stress. But sitting at home and thinking about it I changed ( Read more... )

Normally, I may or may not take part in the new (as in what is currently airing in Japan) anime lineups for Fall, Winter and Spring. In the past it was usually because I was busy with school and only watched what I could. It would normally have to be a show that caught my eye sometime in advance. If I were still in school I probably would have just ( Read more... )

Despite my best intentions my LJ has fallen into long periods with no updates. The time and enthusiasm I used to have when I updated nearly everyday are pretty much gone. The increasingly mudane aspects of my life are killing my interest in updating everyday and my work on Damage Control is taking up my free time. I could always cross post geeky ( Read more... )

It seems the foster agency enjoys wasting the time of others. Juan was supposed to arrive yesterday, but they called and said they didn't know when he'd be in. Then out of the blue, they call again and announce that he'll be arriving today. Unfortunately, I had already made plans to head into the internship after having to miss Wednesday. So I had ( Read more... )

The New Years party was a fairly mellow event. I was one of the first guests to arrive, and the turnout was small. I saw one co-worker from my area, though a few other UPS co-workers that I didn't know showed up. (With around 100 people in the building per shift it's impossible to know everyone.) For most of the night I reclined on the couch trying ( Read more... )

Before I begin on this long entry I'd like to wish a happy belated birthday to goldeagleradar. I hope you had a good day ( Read more... )

I know what I'll be doing for the majority of my Saturday nights, not watching the full block of Adult Swim. In a not very surprising move Adult Swim decided to break up its Saturday Action Block. The Saturday night run usually consisted of two hours of anime programming, and has been this way for years. This week it was announced that AS would ( Read more... )

My life at the moment has been rather lazy. I've been pouring all of my extra energy into working double shifts at UPS, which is nice on payday but bad in terms of looking for a full-time job. The job search has started but due to the extra time at UPS it's not really gone anywhere. I'm a bit concerned but I also feel that I shouldn't fret as of ( Read more... )
