A quick update before the sleep...
First of all, I'm tired. Really tired. I don't think I've been so busy in my life. I'm also sure I've driven more in the past week than I usually do in a month. My poor car...
So, where to start? I spent last weekend largely in the company of Monique. We had leisurely night-time strolls, loitered at restaurants and watched anime. She's really cool. I met some new people on the weekend, namely Josh and Joanne... which is funny because they're a couple that both start with J. Anyway (can't you tell I'em tired?)... When did I meet them? After church. Yep, I went to church, twice, on the weekend. Am I a born-again christian? Hell no, that term sounds so goddamn hokey anyway. I was just interested as a lot of people I know are rather devout and I'm always interested in religion and such. It was a pretty good experience and it was all rather upbeat. People didn't seem to mind how I questioned just about everything, or when I ate their cookies. They were pretty good cookies.
Got to hang out with Alex again and that's always a good time. We just geek out rather strongly and I'm always cool with that. He needs to stop giving me anime to watch though. I'm not even done with Beck yet and I have like 3 more series to catch up on, not to mention the 8 DVDs I've bought and haven't watched. Blah, work is eating my time. I have started watching Ergo Proxy (it's made by the guys who did Samurai Champloo) and that's rad, I also watched some Kyo Kara Maoh and I found that to be really amusing.
Speaking of work, that's where things went a bit crazy. I started at the new job on monday. I wanted to cry when I saw the place, there's so much work to do. I've been getting there early and staying back late in an attempt to get things done and it's just taking so long. The staff don't give a damn and the manager is pretty lazy. Needless to say I've been working harder than I've worked in a long time and I'm a bit lost, to tell you the truth. I can do it, but I feel I'm about to break. I'm getting used to things though and I'm getting rather adept at sorting problems I normally don't get to deal with. The staff are now relying on me and that makes me happy. They trust me and rely on my authority and I'm glad that's happening so early. The staff are pretty cool too. Naomi is a great worker, though Amy is trying to take her from me. Jen is a bit slow but an awesome salesperson. I honestly don't know how she does it. Scott was... ehhh, I don't really know. Matt is a little lazier than I imagined him to be and Dave... well, I had issues with Dave but I think we're working out just fine now. I've been hard on him but he's shaping up and I think he's not too bothered now. Matt seems to be impressed with how much I get done, unfortunately it seems to make him feel like he can slack off more. It's hard but I'll make that store work. At least I have the weekend off again.
And we're going camping. I wish I wasn't, to be honest. I adore camping. I really do. But I don't have anything to do at a campsite. I'm going to be bored and frustrated and honestly, I'd rather stay home and chill out and maybe go out and see some people. I'd like to be able to see Monique and Alex again, since I didn't get to on Tuesday (we were meant to but Amy was sick). Oh well, maybe another time I suppose.
Well, that's my not exciting post. I can't see anyone getting anything interesting about this. It's largely me bitching about stuff *shrugs*.
