- Apparently didn't get any of the jobs I applied for and had interviews for.
+ Had the interviews though. More than I was getting before.
- Still no money or job though.
+ At least there's free anime on Hulu and Netflix.
- Now what do I do?
+ Nothing. That's what.

-Work is becoming ridiculously busier and busier.
+We hired some newbies for the holiday season to make the business easier
-Nearly all the newbies still suck, when they've all been here long enough to not suck as much if they wanted to
--The only good newbie already left because he got himself a fantastic opportunity (hopefully he'll be back afterwards)
--Since the newbies suck, it's almost like we don't have them at all.
+Almost.
+My boss approached me and wants to make me a temporary manager ("keyholder") for the holidays
+++My pay will go up!
+The position may extend past the holidays
+And she knows already that my goal is not to stay where I am, because I came here for the film industry
+And she's prepared to work with that
-I've been staying at work lately till, like, 11 at night, most of the time off the clock, in order to make sure everything's done and start learning manager tidbits.
+At least the manager I'm learning from is fun.
-I'm so tireddddddd and I have to do it again today
+At least it's Sunday, so it'll hopefully just be 11-7 instead of 11-10?

-Laptop's charging cord no longer works
+/- I don't really care that much because I only use it at school, and rarely still at that.
+When I bought a new cord and 9-cell battery Amazon gave me 6 free months of Prime.

-13 hour workday today
-13 hour day of customers bitching at us for not getting done fast
-- for being overbooked
---when the reason we're overbooked is because people book online
--- for having to wait
- we only have three rooms. Sorry we get a little backed up
- People were bitching at us and bitching at each other about us when they thought we weren't listening
- sometimes even when they knew we were
- Coworkers reported some calling us lazy and idiots and 'degenerates'
- I'm sorry, sir, did I mention we only have three rooms?
- And did I mention that in my 13 hour shift I didn't have a single break?
- That I was in and out of the camera room as quickly as I could, often just dropping off the photos to edit and jumping immediately back into the next sit?
- That I was lucky to grab a quick bathroom break when it happened to be open?
- That I didn't end up eating at all because there was no time?
- And that I tore my last good pair of work pants at some poin't during the day while making sure to get the best pictures I could?
- Call me lazy again, you ass.
---- I work all day tomorrow as well
+ Yay overtime this paycheck.
+ Also getting promoted to manager soon.
++ Yay pay increase!
Oh also
++++++++ Taco Bell reopened!

++ Have new Pokemon games!
++ I'm moving from the Service Desk to the Paint Desk (still as a Department Head). Paint will be 200% easier than the Service Desk!
++++++ New kitten - we named him Garrus.
- Kitten chewed through the Wii U charging cord...
- Our older cat, Joy (14yo), does not like Garrus in the slightest. It's to be expected.
+ Family dinner for Thanksgiving.
+ I close on Black Friday. Yay!

Posted 26 November 2014 - 11:01 PM
+++++ Finished writing my history thesis! It took me a few hours to actually start writing once I sat down to do it, but I still finished it in a day, so who gives a damn!
+ Finishing earlier than expected means I have plenty of time to edit it on my down time Friday and Saturday. :D
++++++ Besides that, I have the rest of the vacation to relax!
- Except I'm lying, since I still have to finish at least a painting before next week.
+++ But that's fun work, so not really! Ahaha!

Are you talking about the ebay one NewEgg was selling?
I'm sure it'll go on sale again at some point. It's usually on sale for $360 on ebay through NewEgg or Buy.com. You never know what Amazon might do randomly.

If you're up to fighting people at midnight, Gamestop has a pretty good Black Friday bundle. $399 with two physical games that you could easily flip if you don't want them.
If you're talking about either the GTAV/Last of Us or Lego Batman/Little Big Planet bundles, only one game in each is physical (GTAV/Batman). Although you can still flip the digital codes. It's not a very great bundle though, since everyone else is selling it.
Better is Walmarts bundles. For $449 tonight you can get PS4 GTAV/Last of Us + 2 games of your choice or on Cyber Monday the Batman/LBP bundle with + 1 game of your choice and a controller.
Meijer has a good bundle but I don't even know what that is: https://www.cheapass...updated-112714/

- Couldn't go home for Thanksgiving. Yay working in retail!
+ Had today off
+ Got invited to the gf's family's house for Thanksgiving
- Gf had to work today, so couldn't go
+ I still went
+ It wasn't nearly as awkward as I thought it might be
- It was still weird not being home with my own family...
- I work tomorrow
--- Starting at 7 am
------ Seriously, who the heck wants to wake their kids up to take pictures at 7 am??
- Apparently enough people to warrant having to call me in for 7 instead of 9...
- I have no idea what my out time will be
+ But hopefully my boss will actually stick to said out time because she got yelled at for keeping me so much!

Well, ultimately, it all worked out
Because
++++++++++++ bought 400 dollar PS4 bundle at Gamestop, and added a couple nice games to it. I already played The Last of Us and GTA V, but I mean, I'll take it. Sure I could flip the games, but is anyone really gonna pay much for a digital copy of TLoU? (I'm keeping GTA V, gotta love that first person mode).
Not one minus today.
++++++++++++++ bought 700 dollars worth of jewlery for girlfriend, and mom for a combined price of 80 dollars
++++++++++++++++++ bought sister something useful (portable phone charger! She's always complaining about not having a charge late in the day)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Had alcohol! And Turkey! Not the country! The meat! I just capitalized it because why not!?
Oh, and also
+ Thank you, recently (August) deceased grand aunt. It is because of your generosity that I am able to be generous with everyone else this year. I say one plus, but in reality, I couldn't use enough of them to say thank you for allowing me to provide joy for others this year. It is because of her aid that I will be able to see my family and girlfriend happy. Special honors.

----- Was looking at the repair order confirmation for my 3DS and realized that I sent it in without any of the information they requested (contact info, what's broken, etc.).
-- The email says that if I have any questions, just reply to this email...except it came from a do-not-reply address. =/
+ Talked to a guy on the phone, and he said they can just look up my info from when I placed the order.
++ The music while I was on hold was Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time.

--- Couldn't focus on my final test for West Civ II today or remember material I should have known, think I might have failed.
+ Thankfully, it doesn't count any more than any of the other tests.
- But there's only three tests in the course, plus one essay that counts just as much as a test.
-- I failed an earlier test, too.. (for the same reason- don't ever do once a week courses)
+++ But, I got a 90 on the essay! Hopefully this balances things out to a passing grade? (plus all of the other, smaller assignments, hopefully)
----- Got into a fight with my sister, all because of a stupid miscommunication that could have been avoided by one text message, had she bothered to answer me at all today.
- She went and called my mom afterward, before I had even gotten home, to bitch about me and get my mom on her side.
++ My mom took my side anyway, based on what she said.
