I literally walked into a gamestop 2 weeks ago and they had bundles with an extra controller. I guess it's a timing thing.
About a month or two ago I was at Best Buy and the were just getting shipments in. Could've bought one but I would've been screwed for the following week.
So I'm going to register (admission appointment) at BCC on Tuesday. My ultimate goal is to become a clinican (therapist). Just another small step along the way.
When I have a snack craving and my boyfriend picks me something up without me having to even ask him. Like he read my mind or some shit. God I love him.
Just finally got my very first paycheck and my 2nd, and 3rd, and 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and my 9th paycheck! Almost 3 months of back pay
@bluetigatrion I feel this should have been better added to the work thread, lol, jk Are you going to spend a lot of it on showzstore 11/11 sale?
My research proposal for one of my Master's classes (which I thought I had bombed) got a 95! I wanted to cry tears of joy.
So I was digging around the boxes and containers in my basement trying to find some possessions I think I lost in the move four years ago, when I came across my Laptop charging cable! Hell f*ckin' yeah! I think it got mistaken for a printer power cable, but I knew it was my cable the moment I saw it! Now I have a computer that is way more capable than either of my Android devices (three USB Ports AND an optical Drive, which my husband's rig lacks). It also seems to be Bluetooth-capable, so I could use my Dualshock 4 and my wireless buds with it, too! It seems like the battery might've gone flat, but that's not a big deal. To quote Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face/Harvey Dent in Batman Forever: "OH YES! YES-YES-YES-YES-YES!! OH, HAPPY DAY!"
Got a gym membership to the local Y. It's a couple years old but a nice facility. It's too damn cold outside to go walking now. The gym has an indoor track which is nice. Going to go when I can but it will be hard now that my job is in the holiday retail season. But after the new year I plan on going 5 times a week.
Taking a break or at least not spending a lot of time plugged into Twitter, since the start of this month haven't felt a need to be plugged in there much anymore and while I've shifted over to using Mastadon finding it's wonderful not to spend a lot of time on Social Media and spend more time doing nothing or focusing on other things. It's refreshing and has had a excellent effect on my mood plus the Chilled out Atmosphere of Mastadon has made me enjoy it more than being on Twitter
I traded my TR Brainstorm to my best friend a long time ago for a Triggerhappy, and when I asked for it back we instead traded for Slugslinger. He moved to Puerto Rico before the storms hit their area and they were forced to leave their house. His family moved to Illinois and has stayed there ever since, but I’ve regretted trading Brainstorm ever since then. You see, I hadn’t been collecting for very long when Emgo made his review for the figure, which I constantly watched and wished for. I would spend the next couple of weeks looking for Brainstorm at Walgreens with my dad before finally finding it, a memory I’ll always treasure as one of the first few figures that got me into collecting. Today I finally asked to buy it back, along with some others, and happily it is still in good condition! I’ll see him in about a week from now, ready to reunite!
So I start at BCC in January. My major is going to be Liberal Arts Psychology. As for my part-time job, I gave the chef that hired me two weeks notice on Sunday. The main reason behind that decision being only doing two days a week there was stressful. I deal with anxiety and depression on a daily basis. Furthermore I was raised on certain quote unquote values. One of which is "if you're going to do something, do it right". Unfortunately some of the staff do not seem to share that again quote unquote value. I'm just waiting for the placement test writing score.
Twelve years ago today, I raised a rejected twin bull calf. Dozer, the mother, literally threw him into my arms. I named him Julius, his brother I called Vincent. The obvious reference is obvious, and the results spoke for themselves. However my buddy has a permanent nickname that everyone knows him by. "Hungy." Because he's always hung(r)y. Over the next few years it was a competition of nature versus nurture to see which bull would stick around and who goes to market. Hungy grew into his chest and shoulders, and with the benefits of being imprinted developed personality, while Vinny turned into a fat headed, big bellied stocker, who was just as feral as their mother. nuff said. And here he is today twelve years, several dozens of calves sired, and 1,550 lbs later. Happy birthday, Buddy.
Got another Xmas bonus this year and had the second (and last) of my hemorrhoids removed in mid-October (first one was before Labor Day weekend)... never felt so much dang better while taking a dump and NOT crapping blood
So today was my last day of employment. Some people were very supportive. On the other hand one of my former coworkers seemed fairly distant. Yesterday she seemed in a bad mood. During my shift two other coworkers were hugging her apparently she had been depressed. During the entire hug she was facing me giving me the evil eye. Another perhaps one of the same co-workers said that she was very depressed. There was one incident where she bumped into me while I was working started to rub and then squeeze my arm. Now I'm by no means oblivious, there were other instances where I felt she might have feelings for me. However I have no interest in a relationship right now let alone with somebody I was working with at the time. The rational or wise part of me is saying you can't control other people and how they react to situations. I can only control myself and how I react. I would have just preferred that left on a somewhat more positive note. Also I asked the chef that hired me to write a letter stating my last day of employment. This was requested earlier in the week So I can give a copy to social security and another to the apartment complex I live in. As I am on disability. And that is a requirement. I want to say Monday morning? He said he would take care of it. He was not there today. My shift ended around 2. I texted him a good 10 or so minutes after. Requesting that he mail the letter. And that because the college I'm going does offer classes during the summer I won't be able to work there at that point in time. I gave it a few hours texted him back trying to compromise saying if it's better for him I can just stop in real quick to grab the letter. He has yet to respond. And his is the only number that I have in my contacts for that establishment. I'll give it until Tuesday or Wednesday for a response. Apologies for the run-on sentences. Just had quite a bit on my mind. Thank you to any and all that read this. Finding it difficult on how I want to end this post. It's been one of those days.
All apologies for the double post The chef texted me back. He said he's working all day tomorrow so if I wanted to come in I was more than welcome to do so. He also offered to send the letter via email. At first I said email is fine, but then giving it a second thought the right thing to do would be to go there in person and thank him for giving me an opportunity. As my father taught me two things if you are on time, you're late. And if you're going to do something, do it right. I just want to try to keep that part of him and by extension his memory with me.
