Filler Catcher Upper

Maaaaaaaan... I gotta remember to update more often. x'D

Anyways, had a few interesting things happen since Wednesday.

I think the big one was running out of register tape in the middle of a transaction via credit card. :D;;; I had to call Jay down at Waldens to come help me because
A) Didn't know if we had tape up at the kiosk (turned out we did)
B) Didn't know what to do about her signature. Turned out since she was fine with not signing and what not, that it was okay to just let her go. We couldn't print another one for her anyways. ^^;

Then he kindly told me that he didn't want to mention it while she was there, but that there were instructions under the cover should it happen again. And left me with two more rolls of tape. And later returned with stuff to stock. Jay's a good guy.

And, he was very happy with my ways of consolidating and stocking merchandise! YAY!

Glen on the other hand, just keeps going downhill in my eyes. Came in Thursday begging for hours, which no one would give up for him. And then Friday he came in bitching that he didn't have a paycheck.

Well, the first thing he told me was that he had just given Alix his information a few days ago for the taxes and what not. Then five minutes later it was a few months ago. Well, which is it Glen? And later another coworker who'd been there for two years straight said that Glen hadn't been there for a few months, he'd just kind of shown up again, so he couldn't have given it to her a few months ago.

Glen... man. I don't know. He's definitely not my kind of friend though. I'll be civil to him... that's about where it will end. And he REALLY needs to stop showing up to bother me at work. -_-;

Anyways...

So Caitlin and I on the other hand, are bonding more and more. I actually have stayed until about an hour is left of her shift just chatting and stuff. We have a lot of common interests and ideas, so it works out nicely. And we keep each other company, which is a big plus right now while the mall is dead.

I also found out that another of my coworkers counts money very, very slowly. Poor girl. She's a great person, I know this, but man... that's not gonna be helpful to the job and to whoever has to close with her. I feel bad. And that's why I'm not mentioning names, because no one needs to know who and stuff.

I did get my first paycheck though!!! $283 after taxes! I was sooooo happy to stick that in the bank. Though... then I went and bought more manga. :D; I have 109 manga in total I found out today, and will be doing general inventory and seeing just how much it's all worth soon enough. Along with my anime as well, which I plan on getting more of soon enough.

BUT. THE BIG ITEM ON MY LIST.

IS

THIS:

I WANT IT SOOOOOOO BAD.

So, together my friend Brendan and I are going to realize this dream of mine. And I will probably scream with joy, cling to him and hug him and give him surprise kisses all over his face in happiness while having multiple joygasms all at once. Seriously. IT MEANS THAT MUCH TO ME.

So um... if you want to visit my etsy and help me out as well, that'd be awesome. :D Or just donate to my paypal? *wishful thinking*

I did more senior portraits this past weekend too. They were for my cousin, but hey, money is money. So I've been retouching those as I've had time so that I can get them their proofs ASAP. The portraits are due to the school by October 20th, so I must go faaaaaast!

Speaking of the school!

I had to go pick my sister up today since her car broke down (what is it with this phenomenon...*) and she asked nicely, and I saw Miss M! We had a wondeful chat, got caught up a bit more, and then she asked when I could come in and visit next. ^^ Sure, it's still in the school, but hey, it means a lot to me. Our relationship is finally starting to get beyond that of student and teacher. YAY!

Then Mom needed me to run to Galway Market to grab some meat and stuff for dinner, so I saw Brendan there, and I saw Jason for the first time in a long time. It was odd not seeing Jill and Nikki though, since Jill is away at Pratt now and Nikki moved to Amsterdam. But hey, new faces are welcome! Too bad Tabby's mom wasn't there though, it's been a while since I've seen her as well.

Oh, and also, this weekend I had my laptop at my grandmother's for birthdays, and was retouching to an audience. x'D You can see the photo I did at the bottom of this entry. Needless to say, they were fairly shocked. :D

*So my friends' cars all seem to have shit the bed. Mouse's won't drive in forward and had to be reversed down a couple of blocks back home. Luna-kun's totally shit the bed and she is now carless. And now my sister's is in the garage needing repairs. CRAZY! Hope mine isn't next! D:

RIGHT BEFORE I POST THIS, THIS JUST IN! FROM BRENDAN!

Oh, and you're getting the money for the kimono whether it's still there or not. >.>
Trap says (1:10 AM):
So if all of the ones you'd like are sold, you can blow the $500 on manga or whatever. XD
Saknika says (1:11 AM):

Saknika says (1:11 AM):
Nowai
Trap says (1:11 AM):

Saknika says (1:11 AM):

Saknika says (1:11 AM):
*in shock*
Trap says (1:11 AM):
What? You *passed* Hallmark in my opinion. you deserve a grad gift regardless.
Trap says (1:12 AM):
And also, why let you miss out on the cash just 'cause what you'd be getting, a gift, is no longer available?

I have some really great friends. <333333333333 Brendan is now entitled to have my babies. All of them.
