Jobs jobs jobs
Can I say, I'm slightly frustrated. Jobs. This week has been crazy. Monday, went to two job interviews- first one was for door knocking to give people power boards. It's a fairly good deal- $14 bucks or so per power board you give to each household- 4 being the maximum you can give. They have to have things connected to the tv before you can give one out though. But yes, you could make up to 1000 or more per week if you got really good at it.
The job interview after that, I arrived just on time, but considered it late cos I was running late from the other interview cos the guy didn't turn up till half an hour later. But yes anyway, I arrived at the company, and had an interview with this lady called Lee- I wasn't prepared. >.> I didn't know anything about the company or what they do... I only applied cos my friend told me to pass my resume onto one of her friends who work there... I should have asked what the name of the company was XD But yes I didn't.. not that it mattered cos I still got to attend training, which I did today. But just as I was finishing up my interview, someone was calling. I later found out it was from a place called Roll'd, a vietnamese restaurant, which I also applied for. Sighhh. And I received a text from gumtree that I had been approved for some other job- administrative assistant at some place. And I also got another call the next day from someone, but before I could let them speak, I declined straight out because I already had two training sessions to go to this week.
Except.. Well I ended up canceling the door knocking one, because the other job (a marketing researcher job btw) would involve shifts that would probably clash with it, and the door knocking job requires you to do 3-4 hrs per day I think? So it would have been a bit hard to figure out how to work the times in together... I think.. I hope the job I chose would be better in the long run. The pay is pretty good- $20.05 as a trainee, which you can only do 50 hrs max before you move onto standard rate, which is $24 something. I guess it's more of just the hours you get to work.. the only reason why they're hiring is because they have a big project coming up.
But oh god the training. So tiring. It wasn't so much what we did, but more of what we had to listen to. The guy talked SO MUCH. That's skills. He had to, so he couldn't help it. But wow. There's quite a bit of info as well, I have to go over a few booklets, and hopefully I'll have everything down by next week when I go back. T___T I'm a bit worried though, theory seems fine I guess, but practical.. I might just freak out and not know what to do. I don't even really like talking on the phone because I find it hard to hear people sometimes... Gulp.
Well hopefully it should be fine, just follow the script and everything should be fine... But I can't wait till I move on and get a full time job in design somehow. Something I'm more familiar with. How I long for it T_T As long as I don't get stuck in this job for the rest of my life, that'll be good ^^;

Heh. So me writing up once per week didn't really last xD yet again. Commitment issues? I just keep forgetting to do it. Sigh. So lately, nothing has really been going on. Two parties, Sureka's and Kathryn's- both were fun. ^^ Both parties I froze. Brrr.
Honestly I don't really have anything much to say... I guess I'll be handing in the tenancy form today at the apartment inspection? The bloody agent is so hard to contact I swear. I've called her mobile number and phone line number, as well as emailed her- no reply. I only managed to get in contact with her yesterday, despite me trying to contact her nearly a whole week ago. Jasper's dad said that she should get fired :/ I kinda agree. You'd think it'd be a requirement to regularly check emails and answer them. :/ Unimpressed. Well hopefully the application will get through, and Jasper and I will have a place!
So what else... Hmm been thinking I want to get my hair trimmed. Cos I want to grow it longer. But I find it hard to justify 20 bucks for just a trim :/ I wish I could trim my own hair T_T But I can't see the back of my head very well and reach it. It's pretty fun cutting hair xD Did it once for my gran cos I think she tried to cut her hair before she went back to China? But yeah, she looked horrible. So I tried and gave her a better cut, or that is what I like to think.
I really should start getting in control with my money again. I admit I have a bit of an addiction to online shopping ><" I don't really buy expensive things though. Mainly a lot of cheap stuff, usually under 10 bucks if I can help it. Except when it comes to games and stuff of course. Also bought an expensive bag for Jasper on Urban Outfitters, although luckily I got it during sale time, so it was only $50.15 (I think?) reduced from $70 (something along those lines). Not only that, but being just over $50 made me eligible for free shipping ^__^ Score! I also got him a spinner ring, with engraving. Gah that annoyed me. I received it, only to find that they got it wrong. It was meant to say " Mei♥ " but instead it said " Mei? " -.-" Bloody question mark. I'm going to see if I can get my friend to help me fix that, cos she's in jewelry and helped Jasper engrave my ring he gave me. But really, question mark? You would have thought that the person would have sent a message to make sure considering that sounds ridiculous :/
Oh well. Today I shall start putting together a folio T____T Reality.

Can I just say that I have the sweetest boyfriend? <3 So silly <3 You know what he did? He bought me a bloody 3ds x'D He just told me a few minutes ago. I told him before that I didn't want him to waste his money on me like that, I'd rather have him save up his money for us when we move out and stuff, when we get a job and are capable of splurging... the silly goose ><" I was surprised that's for sure. But he didn't really know enough about the 3ds, that he didn't know it was region locked. So I wouldn't be able to play my KH3ds game I bought a few weeks ago. I felt so bad when I said that T^T But I said that I could just sell my game and buy a NTSC version instead, and keep the AR cards inside the PAL version :P
He really wants to spoil me silly ^_^; I feel like I don't deserve all this special treatment.. On so many occasions he has been willing to do things for me <3 I mean, he was even willing to spend his savings to have me come to America with him T^T As much I would have loved to, I can't let him do that. And he's willing to pay for my rent if I don't have a job and said that he didn't want me to use my savings TT^TT Whyyyy does he have to be so sweet T^T
Well I have 20 or so days to decide whether I want him to return it or not, so I don't know. Cos he said he'd just buy me a PAL one instead despite me saying he shouldn't buy it at allT^T
