I'm pretty darn good. I have a fairly nice job, a lovely boyfriend, and an adorable little dude (yorkie). Only things I don't have are a car.....and no college loans to pay off. Wish those stupid loans were gone.
That's probably the one thing that makes me glad I didn't go to college. No loans to pay off. Everything else, car aside, sounds fantastic. =] I've been employed full time for over a year now, and I bought my first car last May, so it's almost right at the 1-year anniversary. I might also be chickening out of meeting one of my favorite voice actors this summer. It's going to be awesome.

It wasn't so much the going to college part...but the college I chose being fairly expensive.... Then again, if I hadn't gone there, I'd never have met my boyfriend....and he...he's very important to me. For a very long explanation of reasons why, but short version is he accepts me, all of me, doesn't try to make me something I'm not...and he cares about me. Enough to be worried about whether or not I'm eating food.... (too many allergies makes eating very hard) And that's lovely! Do you like your job/what kind of job is it?
No. Don't chicken out of that. Meet them and maybe even ask a super awkward question!

I went to a community college for three semesters, and we could barely afford that. ^^; I was thinking about going back sometime, though. At least get an Associates in something. ... Keep him. I don't talk to many people who find good ones who are supportive instead of "I can fix this." I don't talk to many people who don't find themselves with jerks, honestly.
It's very stressful, but overall, I like it. It's office work. I help put quotes together for the sales reps who deal with companies rather than individual people. I'm also all-purpose. If they need someone to cover the reception desk, I'm usually called.
But... but it's Megatron... Frank Welker is an adorable old man, but I know I'll be seriously intimidated. My friend has threatened to put me on a leash, though, to prevent me from running.

Ah, I see. Well, I don't really think everyone NEEDS to attend college...there are plenty of things you can do that don't require a college degree...that aren't like working at wal-mart kinds of jobs. He's never actively tried to fix anything....but because he never actively tried, he actually managed to fix some things...because he was just all "Amu, it's okay. I love you." Or he said that he'd beat up a crazy ex if he saw him.....though I told him the guy wasn't worth getting in trouble over. He calls himself a jerk, but...at least to me, he's never a jerk. Just an evil meanie who does nice things that I can't properly handle so I call him a meanie for it and he knows what I really mean by that.
That does sound a bit stressful, but being useful and all-purpose is fun. At least it is for me, because it means I can be helpful! Glad you have a job you like! ^_^
...that mental image is far more amusing than it should be.... I'm picturing both the little kid backpack harness thing....and something decidedly more S&M....
Yeah, teavana is rather expensive, even with a 30% employee discount. Matcha is bitter because you're drinking the full leaf that has a TON of chlorophyll in it....and a lot of caffeine too. The sugar definitely helps and it depends on how the matcha has been made...if it's japanese style or american style.
I tend to stick to lighter flavors for tea....at least since I've found silver needle and stopped burning my tea, that is. The tea is called Javavana mate. But I'm kinda hesitant to tell people to go into Teavana unless it's one I'm at when I'm working...because I can mostly guarantee you won't get badgered and swept up into spending more than you wanted to.
Oh, he likely is. He thinks he's an amazing salesperson....sells up with the people who sell 1k+ a day... Only had Pu-erh once...and I wasn't a big fan....prolly because I don't really like coffee and particularly 'earthy' tasting things.
That sounds EXACTLY like him.... To the t, except I rarely complain about not getting many customers, because the entire store doesn't get many customers. I mean, I do a mix of 'here's what I think you might want/like' and 'I'm not gonna make this the best possible experience so you're likely to come back and say positive things' He's much less like that. And he's above me, so I try to push his buttons just enough I'm not rolling over and playing dead....but not enough to have him try to write me up over something trivial. It also helps that HIS boss knows he's full of it, knows I'm only doing things to either make a point or because he's saying something outrageously wrong or arrogant. So I'm fairly safe. And if not, I can easily pull the rug out from the guy because he's tried to tell me things that are completely wrong and pretty much against company policy. (and he says he steals sales, which is NOT allowed...but I have to double check the employee handbook on that one)
Well, le boyfriend randomly called me on monday last week. We talked about doing something that week.....and then he told me that he wanted me to move in with him once his parent's finish the basement (which is basically an apartment) ((he moved home for reasons besides financial troubles, but the reason isn't mine to tell)) at some point in the likely not soon future and that because he wants that, he also wanted me around his family a lot so they'd be used to me being around. I off-handedly say 'Because I'm going to be around for a while?' Since that seemed implied by the wanting me around and to move in thing. I get told to sit down, which I do, and I'm then told that he can see himself marrying me in the future (not specified as to when in the future) and that he likes the thought. I told him he was a meanie and I didn't like him and a couple more normal 'I'm super happy to hear that, I like that thought too and can see the same thing' things as well. Hooray being a bit tsundere. The thursday after that phone call, I show up at his parent's place, go up to his room after making him tea and meeting his dad for the second time ever, only to have him place this simple metal ring with black enamel plus signs(?) on it onto my index finger. Firstly, that ring hasn't come off since. Secondly, when I later asked him why he did that, I was told "Mostly because I could." "And that's all you're getting out of me."....the second bit I know was completely on purpose. So he's a double evil meanie. More like triple. I also met his mom, was invited to dinner I couldn't attend because others needed the car, and generally found out his cat likes me. ((apparently that cat really likes me and according to his mom on thursday of this week, the cat usually doesn't like people (I'm assuming new people was what she meant) as much as the cat likes me)) His sister hasn't ever acknowledged my presence the two times she's stuck her head into his room when I was there. I've met some of his friends too...and they all apparently know I'm his girlfriend....though like me, he completely forgets to introduce any of us to each other. So part of me is super girly squee about the whole fact he can see himself marrying me, it's more than a year before that was said, he's dealt with my freaking out on him many times over many things, dealt with a crazy ex who vented at him about me before we even really started dating, and even after all the things that have happened...he still loves me, wants me around, and he's never forced me to do anything I really didn't want to do....I honestly believe him saying he can see, and likes the thought of, marrying me. The other part is going "OI, YOU. Yes, you. Don't get ahead of yourself and screw things up! And get a car damnit!" I just.....he's important. I want him around for ever and ever and as long as possible and just....I want to be the best I can and I want to help him be the best he can...and I want to be his pillow. Because he's always tired and maybe I can help him sleep better. I want to protect his adorable sleeping face. So yeah....and dangit, I wanna see him as soon as possible...had a dream last night that made me miss him because it was some weird version of me looking for him, but people I knew or previously dated showed up and were trying to get in the way a bit(?) but he finally showed up and they went away and I was super happy. So many huggles and other stuff. That's what I remember from it...
Oh geeze. I think the age of the tea and the time the leaves and stuff are picked makes a difference as well in how bitter the matcha can be. So far I'm under the impression that the best matcha would be a japanese variety, but I'm not sure what type it is my local coffee shop uses, so it could be american...
Burning tea? O.O That sounds icky. And oooh ok, so a sort of obvious name. >w< Thank you! Luckily at the teavana near me I've never felt too pressured. The setting and stuff makes me feel awkward if I go in and spend too long looking without getting anything, but they haven't tried to sap all my money away either. So that's good I suppose. I'd like to buy a high quality teapot set from them one day though.
Wow. My coworker acts like that too- like he's the best at sales and serving and everything- as if he can get customers to do whatever. Once I got a low tip even though the customers were really nice and happy and thanked me for my service, and he was standing there as I pondered why it was a low tip, and he said he's neeever had a tip like that on a $75 tab. Then I saw one of his checks the next day and he had exactly that.
I think focusing on the customer getting what they want and having a positive experience is a good way to do it Amu. Rather than focusing on Sales like your assistant manager guy seems too.
And honestly, I don't mean to complain when I've had few customers- but it's frustrating when I'm working, and things happen where I don't get a single table for 2 hours, yet the section next to mine gets triple seated and the server is rushing around. He was hosting one time and did that- didn't seat me and proceeded to act as if it was justified. I went up to him and said, "Hey, if I'm not going to have any tables, maybe I should just go home?" And it was in front of our boss. He gave me this dumbfounded look and then came to snap at me and chew me out later because apparently I embarrassed him and myself in front of our boss because he took it as if I was having an attitude and chewing him out for me not getting tables. Which I really hadn't intended. 'Said he 'had to cover for me' with our boss and tell him "Maybe she's mad at me or something?". He was telling me that we were due to get busy at like 6:30 or something that night so I just needed to wait. Which I recall being BS once the night had passed. I also found that my boss and I were totally cool and on the same page. I did get some tables, but seriously it didn't make sense for me to stay, and it was unfair to watch all the other servers get customers while I had nothing to do, and my coworker was the one choosing where they sat. But
like your main boss/the assistant manager guy's boss, mine knows what the case is that my coworker is also full of it. I've worked there much longer than him, so my boss knows how I am and such. My obnoxious coworker gets on lots of people's nerves as well, I'm just one of the only ones who talks back to him/doesn't take his crap when he's difficult so our spats are more obvious.
I think that's a good way you handle it too btw- not just letting him walk all over you, but also not getting yourself into trouble. Yay for being mutually safe! XP
(Against policy stuff? O: He doesn't get caught with that? And stealing sales- that sounds bad. Like claiming sales that other clerks/salespersons' make as his own at the end of the day?)
Oh Amu that's so adorable! I'm so happy for you- things sound like they're going really well. That ring sounds awfully akin to a promise ring, and very special too-boot. How great! You guys seem to be on such a great track. ^^ And it seems that over all you're doing well with his family too. The sister will come around. lol I have big brothers, and you know how brothers and uncles and dad's and stuff get about their little girls- so if they can come around and like a boy, I'll bet you'll be friends with his sister in no time- especially if you move in with him. *Squee huggle* :'D

I don't either, but society as a whole seems to disagree, and without even that, getting a job in the future could be difficult if my current one doesn't work out long term like I think it will. Even my college-educated, English teaching grandfather says college is being pushed too heavily.
Yeah, he's definitely a keeper who understands what you need from him. I'm glad for that. Such a meanie. xD Best kind of meanie.
I like it. It keeps the days from getting too repetitive.
Knowing this friend, it's probably the more S&M version, but the harness also wouldn't surprise me, and it wouldn't be new. I had one of those as a child. Not the cute animal ones either. Just a plain harness.
Not specifically? I don't really know what most items do...just that they do things....
( You did! )
Aww darn. That's the tough part though for sure. I think I've got it worked out if I use the white skin way of doin it though. At least that looks pretty nice. ^-^
Now just time to go sell some stuff for those other pretty items. >w> But not too much stuff.. *hoards*

Well thank you.
So anything interesting happen to you recently?
no problem
well, i ended up getting up an hour or so earlier than i usually do the other day so i could go up to the nearby la quinta hotel and get a job working a golf tournament next month as a concessions person... and ended up getting a position at the Seafood Shack. not looking forward to being surrounded by fish for seven days straight

On the topic of college- while that is undoubtedly true- that there are jobs and careers you don't need a degree for, there's also the sad reality that sometimes even with a bachelors degree people end up at places like walmart and mcdonalds because the job market is so bad anyway. All the people with masters' or years of exerience beat them to it. Or, if you're like my dad, places tell you they can't or won't hire you because you have TOO MUCH experience. No joke. So while college can be important- especially for highly specialized fields like if you want to be a doctor, I have to agree that society pushes it too much. If people are wasting money getting degrees they can't even use, what's the point? It makes college certainly seem less impressive and useful.

Agreed! being able to see all my items by color and or type would be great! I was trying to find a different arm mod for this avi and just couldn't work it out. I'd love to eliminate this gold-ish color that the princess arms introduce with the bow honestly. I have tons of arm mods I'm sure, it's just the fact that I can't see them all laid out in front of me that makes it hard to see the selection and remember what I have.
So true. >> I think that's called greed.
i hear ya, there. trying to find items that work well can be a huge pain if you can't look at all of them of that specific type next to each other. sometimes you get lost in the inventory pages trying to find the item you're looking for, if you can't remember its name. and then there's the fact that some items don't come up in the avi search thing, like an eye mod i have doesn't come up when you search 'eye' or 'eyes', and DIFFERENT eye mods come up when searching 'eye' as opposed to 'eyes'. it gets ridiculously confusing and frustrating
some people would say "it's just business" or something like that

I think that's a good way you handle it too btw- not just letting him walk all over you, but also not getting yourself into trouble. Yay for being mutually safe! XP
(Against policy stuff? O: He doesn't get caught with that? And stealing sales- that sounds bad. Like claiming sales that other clerks/salespersons' make as his own at the end of the day?)
Oh Amu that's so adorable! I'm so happy for you- things sound like they're going really well. That ring sounds awfully akin to a promise ring, and very special too-boot. How great! You guys seem to be on such a great track. ^^ And it seems that over all you're doing well with his family too. The sister will come around. lol I have big brothers, and you know how brothers and uncles and dad's and stuff get about their little girls- so if they can come around and like a boy, I'll bet you'll be friends with his sister in no time- especially if you move in with him. *Squee huggle* :'D
....by style...I mean the way in which it's brewed. American matcha drinks have more water in them than traditional Japanese ones to.
It IS icky... The worst one is Gyokuro imperial burnt. If you have someone you really don't like....serve them that burnt... It tastes like the entire sea was left to sit in the sun for a week or two.... There are actually a couple of teas that are coffee inspired, but that one is the better in my opinion. That's good. Though I dislike the whole 'feel bad if no buy anything' vibe. If you buy cast iron, do NOT get the cast iron cups, get a tea pot and warmer. Though the cups keep drinks warm, they also can be way too hot to handle. I know this from experience of basically burning my hands on the pair of cast iron cups I own.
Wow....yeah. And yup! I know how to work the system such that I don't get into serious trouble! And since the location I'm at is closing and people are being transferred to other stores....I'm hopefully not ending up where ARJ guy is going. (Arrogant Rich Jerk)
(yeah....I think it's because most people haven't directly reported him over things.....but his boss knows he's full of it and says things directly about how arrogant the guy is, to the guy's face or in front of him. The stealing sales thing is that if, for example, I brought a customer in, went back to do something and got caught up for a bit, he swoops in, takes my customer away because I was busy, makes a sale and puts it under his name. Though he DID talk and such with the customer, I brought them in so they should have been MY customer. Things like that)
I.....didn't think of it that way......I thought of it as more of a 'this is mine and this ring is the sign this person is mine and that they want to be mine' or something like that.....but he's an evil meanie who isn't going to tell me what the other reason(s) he has are....and I'm starting to become extremely curious... Maybe I can threaten to tickle it out of him? I sincerely hope he doesn't eventually...if what he sees and likes does end up happening....go and buy an engagement ring...I have rings he could use....rings that aren't sized properly, in fact...that could easily pass for an engagement ring....but I'm honestly trying to not let my wanting to be legally bound to him make me do weird things... As for his sister...I think it's more a case of she just doesn't actually care and both times I was over and she poked her head in, she had other things she was wanting to do more. I also know very little about his sister...other than her hair is pastel teal and pastel pink, she apparently has a tattoo their father (parents?) does not know about...and that she's still in highschool/is five years younger than le bf. And that she's fairly messy? Or at least her bathroom is a gigantic mess according to le bf. *waugh is unexpectedly squee huggled; huggles back* I don't really care if his sister likes me or not...not that I expect she'd hate me or anything....but his parents like me...and I think his mom knows I'm his girlfriend? I know his dad does. Not sure about his mother.
