@Below:
I was fired. It was a good two weeks of employment, though.
Whaaat, what exactly happened? (if you don't mind my question)
-

I don't mind at all. They said that they didn't think that I was ready to run the store on my own and couldn't afford to have me on the payroll for more training.

[hide]I decided to join/start a band, this will be my second experience with bands.
The funny part will be:
-
So, what do you play ?
-
Accordion
-
What kind of music do you play ?
-
Anime/games musics
Maybe a band that plays video games OST ? I don´t know..But I would love to play some DKC songs.[/hide]

Came to check the forums again after a year without it.
Still the same old lovely shit going around here~ .

Wouldn't that mean they would need to turn to another worker to run the store? Couldn't you remain in that scenario?

Learned something interesting today: Grass can really cut you nicely sometimes.

I haven't watched a magical girl anime in a long, long time, and considering such a manga got me into… well, everything, I felt it was time to go back to my roots. I couldn't decide which one to pick so now I'm suddenly marathoning several animes at once and laughing at all the similarities. Of the three I've started so far, all of them have the protagonist suddenly wake up in bed, followed by a breakfast scene at some point.
-

Apparently not. I think it's more that they trust their current workers and didn't have much confidence in me to be on my own yet. And they're a small, family run company and couldn't afford to pay two employees on the same shift for much longer.

Been beside myself most of the day.
On our way to uni, the traffic started to slow and my sis was like 'wtf is going on' and then like when it slowed to a halt we saw that a little yorkshire terrier had gotten out onto the road and was bounding down. Like. We thought it would be safe because the cars on our side had stopped and there were people both sides trying to catch it…But it jumped onto the other side of the road and that was it. Thwack. Poor thing got struck down.
Idk if it was killed or knocked out but omg. I was on and off crying for almost two hours and we had to turn around. -
Just as I'm in the process of job hunting of COURSE I get really sick. god. I don't know how to ax this cold quickly because whenever I get sick it always lasts for a LONG time. I'm frustrated because it's hard enough job hunting without being half-delirious and coughing my lungs out. Plus it is looking like I'm being landed with the less preferable of jobs since I couldn't find any alternatives that I have a chance at right now. I told myself 'I'll just turn down this job and find something else more relevant' but look what that got me. I mean, at least it's not returning to my first job, but still. I have these convictions I can't follow through on because I'm just not skilled enough to be choosy about my own life. regardless, I can't start working until I recover from this infernal cold. not to mention I've been putting off things I need to get done.

We have a dog taken care by the security guards of our apartment complex. It has been brought up ever since it was a pup for almost 10 years and I have been seeing it for almost 5 years myself. One fine day we heard a horrible howl and saw him bleeding coz some idiotic cab driver ran over it when it was sleeping. After around 10 mins of struggle it passed away. The kids who grew up with the pup almost all of their lives were crying and even the adults felt very bad. Few weeks later, we all chipped in and got a new watchdog pup for the kids to play with again.
Strange but sometimes I feel that animal suffering invokes more empathy than human suffering.

[hide]1st: I have being posting here for a long time (148 posts..O.O). Wow..I don´t want to say "sorry", but.meh.:getlost:
2nd: People that read my post might think that being a librarian is the most awesome job in the world.:happy::blink:[/hide]Life: So today, my co workers invited me for the opening of a new bar, a "library themed" bar (you can borrow books, and the dishes and drinks have names of famous authors or famous books). I had fun and also, made some new friendships.

Celebrated my birthday on Friday, and today watched Extreme Rules and played Mortal Kombat X

Today was fun, but there are some conversations you don't really want to overhear.
And I heard one of those today. Kevin, go screw yourself, and stop trying to continually cut your employees down by comparing them to an impossible standard. I could outdo you any day if you were in my position. Good luck keeping up with me if you ever have the balls to attempt it.

I got my bio capstone paper back and managed to get an A on it along with some positive feedback. I'll prolly ruin everything with the 20 minute presentation I have to give. And I've been studying for an organic chemistry exam almost nonstop for the past few days and it's still all ????. School is consuming me. I haven't even read the latest OP chapter, I just looked at the raw scans to get the gist of it. I have no food and have very questionable sleep hours. I don't like living anyway~
-
Oral presentation in Italian today. For the most part, I avoided looking at the text but stumbled a bit towards the end…..I feel like I butcher this poor language.
And my chemistry test: given the new professor for the second half, and the new format for lecture.....it did feel less difficult than the past two, but the problem was that 90% of the points are multiple choice - meaning you can still get credit if you have no idea, but there's no partial charge. So it's high risk, high reward. :X

The struggle is real! I'm in Orgo as well. What are the topics for the test?

Carboxylic acids + derivatives, as well as carbonyls/aldehydes/ketones and their reactions. Thankfully the professor postponed it to next Monday since earlier, to my relief~

Bam, picked out my schedule. Now to wait the grueling 2 weeks and 21 minutes before my appointment opens up.
Also, it seems I have to fill out a form to verify the information I provided for the FAFSA. Must they keep bullying me? I transfered all of the numbers directly from the IRS servers, and I kept getting the income error I mentioned earlier. Finances change, people make less, why is this such a red flag? Wouldn't be a concern if the numbers were higher?

Ah, I think you're in a higher level than I am. Right now we're learning about alkynes and reactions/preparations of such. Sorry. :O

Ohh, today was a very nice day to say the least. My parents came in my room to wish me a happy birthday early this morning, which made me smile a lot during the day, along with all the sweet birthday wishes from family and friends alike (thank you sincerely). The weather was warm, beautiful, and sunshiny; perfect for taking photos of the flowers in bloom! Later in the day my grandparents came to visit, and we had steak, spring salad, and fruit salad for dinner. Oh, and awesome cakes afterward! Needless to say, my twin and I were very happy. :happy:

Today was the last day of the week (tomorrow is a holiday) and I and two other people were summoned to a meeting with the head librarian. Separately. She said she would retire at the end of this year, and one would be the new head librarian, depending on our performance until the end of the yearI'm flattered and at the same time, worried. I will accept, at least I'll be in the same city.

My day started off great anyways, but then I discovered a nest of chicks in my back yard.
Awesome.!

Two weeks ago I submitted a letter of resignation to Sony. Today was my last day. I have no idea what I'm going to do next.
The wife and I are crazy frugal and have a ton in savings, plus she is still happy and loving her job, so we're in no real financial pickle. Which makes this all kind of freeing. I'm thinking I might try to write another screenplay. After having sold two and watched them die I'm kind of itching to see one actually get made; I have no care if whatever it ends up being on film is garbage, I just want progress there. I might try getting temp work instead of a contract job with different production companies. I might try to do film instead of television. I might try to write a book. I might finally send my buddy the script to the graphic novel he and I have been planning forever. I might of all of this.
For the first time in my life I have no plan. I reached the end of my grand scheme and was left desolate by it. But now that I'm out of the wasteland that is Sony, I have options. And it feels great.

Today was a wonderful day. First my parents came down and we got my Wii U to the apartment, I can finally play my games. I missed it more than I realized.
My mother and I then went out to the city and looked around. Visited Tekniska Museet (Museum of Technology) and it was amazing. What's even better, my dad grew up here and has told me a lot of the history of the city, and my mother was eager to teach me all about the old machinery and how it was back then. It was nice seeing her recognize things, mention that her father would've loved to visit or when we discovered an old sewing machine, she told me her grandmother (a.k.a. my great grandmother) had one of them, but converted it into an electrical one. She may have lived out in the boonies, by great granny was a very progressive lady. Mom really loves her, she seems like an amazing person. Mom also liked one of the military planes, said they were everywhere until Sweden started focusing less on the military. It had a funny nose. Also there was a juke box - why is that not a thing nowadays.
Add to that my fathers knowledge of the forgotten parts of the city, like an airplane-hostage situation, a famous restaurant on an old train-ferry or the old trams, it feels like I got out the most out of the visit.The best parts were a room dedicated to old machines (advertisement from the old: We now sell explosion-proof gas! For a safe ride!), and the very best: a submarine. Not just a part or a cutout - an almost fully intact submarine which was used. It was extremely cramped, I can't believe people actually lived in there. The doors to the middle part were only a meter or so in height, we had to curl up and crawl to get through. The beds were converted into sofas, there were lockets hidden everywhere. And pipes, and pipes, and pipes. The submarine could house up to 30 people, and the longest time it could be in service at once was 13 days. What's extremely intriguing is that the old crew actually go to the museum twice a week and talk about their experiences. Genuine veterans who sailed the very vessel we all visit. Unfortunately we weren't there the right day, but that's something I'd love to attend.
None of these pictures are mine nor are they from my visit, but they show a bit of the museum.

The submarine.
Not 100% sure this is from this exact submarine, but it shows how the middle-part doors looked
Not a job for any tall man.

The plane with the funny nose. When mom was little, one flew over their ranch. It flew so low she could see the pilot.

A still operating tram that you can ride in. We didn't see this one. The "3" might be more important than you think - there is a travel line in Malmö that's called "ringlinjen" (The circle line). The bus goes round and round and round, and the line was originally a tram track. The buses nowadays doesn't follow it exactly, but its amazing that they've still went the same way for decades.We then walked through a local park, which was very, very pretty. I saw two type of birds I've never seen before (the Vigg was especially exciting) as well as one of my favorites, a Heron. There were lots of ducklings around, the weather was perfect, we even ate at an restaurant inside a castle (which looks very boring on the outside, to be honest). Expensive for mediocre food, but was placed lovely. You couldn't hear any traffic at all.
So yeah, it was a wonderful day. I guess I rambled on, but there's so much I find intriguing about this city. I thought I wouldn't like studying in a city but now I almost love it more than the village. It lacks some hills and a nice, mixed forest, and the wind could lessen a bit, but otherwise it's nice here. It's a shame the ticket to Denmark costs so much though, or I'd travel over there a lot more. You can take the train directly to Copenhagen.

I haven't been able to get little red corvette out of my head all day.
So it's been a pretty great day in that regard

I'm starting to scare myself lately. My hunger is at an all time high and I just can't stop eating everything edible.
Strangely I find myself being more scared of the financial problems this will cause me in the long run than the weight problems. I'm not that big anyways, so I can use some extra kilos~But still, food is expensive…

Doesn't have to be all that expensive. Just stick to the poor man classics.
There are entire sub-sections of cuisines dedicated to being dirt poor and really really hungry.
Take french onion soup for instance. Super delicious, and hardly costs a thing.

I don't really cook, it's the "non-cooked" things that are draining my wallet. I don't earn that much though. And I also have to pay bills. But my mom is sweet and helps me, so I guess it's not that big of a deal.
Still, it's strange. Eating more than the bare minimum is strange.

You're gonna have to learn to cook sooner or later though.
And the sooner, the more money you'll save.

So for our next school project I have to ask people a question and record their answer. You'd think it sounds easy, but it's the most nerve-wrecking thing I've done all year. Mustered the courage to do three so far. The first one didn't record, the second was great but too short, the third questionable and the fact that they live right below me makes me unnecessarily nervous. I didn't have the time to explain the full details either, which feels a bit discouraging.
I'll have to redo it tomorrow morning, got no other choice.

I'm a little shaken up at the moment.
Because you see, of all the days, of all the semisters I've been taking the same train home, waliking down the same hill….two guys tried to mug me. One of them just grabbed me from behind, demanding I take my backpack off. At first I thought it was some kind of sick joke, but the other guy had a KNIFE.
Amidst my attacker's grip, I struggled and tried to break free, then I screamed for help. They took off, but the knife guy didn't make a move. When did they follow me? How long? Am I a target now? How do I even take the same path anymore?
This has never happened to me before, and I'm kinda freaking out. What if I got stabbed or they had a whole pack of guys?
-
Foot and hand pretty swollen because my dog lost the plot and bit me twice after we took away a hairbrush he stole.
Feeling sad and pissed.My Dad got really angry and proclaimed to the dog that we're sending him back…
But I don't want that. We've had him for 3 years now, and this is the first time something like this has happened. Ergo, it's out-of-character.
I'm the one who got bit, and I can still forgive him. I just hope the family will, too. -

I feel you. First of all, I'm so glad you're safe. If that guy with the knife hadn't just been bluffing, things could have gone very very differently. Aside from that, you just really have to try as hard as you can to think about things logically and realize you just got very unlucky and that the world isn't out to get you and stuff. It's good to be careful but also it's not likely to happen again all of a sudden.
For me the experience was that I was home alone once when someone tried to break into my house. I scared the guy away and nothing happened, but for a while (as in a few weeks) it was hard for me to hear creaks or other sounds and not worry that maybe somebody was trying to get in again. It's this weird sense of vulnerability that forms and creates paranoia. Try not to let it mess with you too much.

I appreciate it, man.
I do have a nasty habit of letting these things get in my head, and the paranoia builds and builds…..even if it's safe in the end, I'm probably going to take a slightly different path home, just until the heat dies down...I guess.
This situation could've been a LOT worse. To think this was in broad daylight in the middle of the afternoon. I've had plenty of nights where I was going home close to 9 PM following a late night class. Imagine if it happened them, and they had more guys with them?
shivers
I did call the local precinct, and gave everything I could remember. It would've been more effective if I called soon after it happened, but I was just so frazzled on my walk home, trying to rationalize everything.

Last year my grandma was diagnosed with Parkinson. Today I heard my dad talk with his wife if they gonna visit her in the hospital, so i asked why she was in hospital. Breastcancer. They've known it since monday.
Yeah, thx for telling me 5days later BY ACCIDENT that my grandma is gonna die of breastcancer. Over lunch!
Fuckin cunts.

Yesterday was one of the worst days I've had in a while. It seemed like everything anyone said or did to me just made me feel worse about myself.

Fuckin cunts.I feel you, there. A few years ago, my grandmother had a cancerous tumor on her arm and my mother just didn't tell me about it. I only found out a month or so later when I went to visit her and she had bandages on her arm from where they were removing it.

Blehh been feeling a little angry lately. Well it's more like I have a really shorter temper. We were at lunch and it was busy and I felt really irritated that they were paying so much more attention to larger parties than us. We waited on food for a good while and I was getting crabby, and then waitress comes by and asks if we want the check! We're like no we haven't had the food yet… And then five minutes later she brings us the damn check!! I was like 10 seconds from just leaving but then we finally got our food. I used to be a waitress so normally this sort of thing would only bug me a little but it just feels like a lot of people are either using me as a doormat or trying to pick fights with me.
Idk I'm usually a lot more chill. Maybe it's just stress getting to me. One more month and I should be done so I just need to chill and get work done

That feeling is hard to shake, but it does go away. I was robbed at work a couple months ago, thankfully with just a knife and though no one actually grabbed me or anything, it just kind of made me feel violated and vulnerable for several weeks. After that I was always on high alert any time there weren't people in the lobby. You can never really be too careful no matter how safe you've always been.

I… might have done something extremly foolish right now but the heart wants what the heart wants. I found a signed drawing of Luffy by Eiichiro Oda (original, one of those autograph thingies) and bought it. It was probably overpriced as fuck but it's the first time I've ever seen something like it for sale and I couldn't resist it. I think the fact that the yearly comic festival in my town has been happening these past two days and I've already bought some overpriced things and listened to a lot of intresting talks about the comics in Sweden, met friends (one recently drew a comic for Neil Gaiman, we managed to find a copy of it at a comic shop and she signed it for me!) and had a lot of fun.
Plus I managed to finish some exhibition texts I've been working on with a colleague and I just sat with her on the phone for an hour going over the finishing touches...
and Jesus, I'm bought an original piece by Oda-sensei! Aaargh, I'm shaking =,< This is awesome! I'm gonna need to find a professional to frame it.

Found out a friend of mine has attempted suicide after a breakup and just got out of the hospital. Swedish psychiatry is infamously bad, I've been hospitalized three times since September (around two-three weeks each time) because of severe depression and barely got any help at all aside from blood tests and things like that. There was only one doctor who seemed interested in helping me and most of the patients varied from obnoxious to creepy (and I'm pretty sure it's a question of bad manners rather than mental illness). Anyway, I wish there was more I could do for her but I'm glad she's alright at least.
Right now I'm watching the party leader debate from yesterday. Jimmie Åkesson is sharper than you would expect from someone who's in recovery from a burnout.

Well I got to go home early on my 8th day working in a row.. they finally realized I was getting exhausted lol. I really hope this surgery helps my issue.
I'm so sick about the tornado that wrecked the city just east of my hometown though. There's been a lot of small tornados, but nothing ever that disastrous around there in my lifetime. And if that system had shifted a bit more to the west it would've been right on top of my grandpa X_X That kinda stuff just makes me sick in general, its so devastating, but having it so close to home is awful.

I am pretty much bored to the point of insanity. I've spent the last year as a borderline-NEET after graduating high school. I briefly got a volunteering job at a book shop but I wasn't in any shape to work mentally. Let's hope life gets more meaningful after I find something to do - I've applied for a community college but even if I get in, it doesn't start until August. Not sure if I can handle another year of this…
