My luck is changing…?

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Life update!

May was a sucky month and it went all the way until June. However, in the past few days, things were starting to look up. It’s not exactly good, but it’s better.

For starters, I’m going to be getting the money I need to pay for my summer classes and for the Fall. However, I don’t know when the money will show up on my account. It said 24-48 hours from yesterday so today or Monday? I just hope it goes through smoothly and I don’t run into any problems with it. *cross fingers*

Then I wrote a letter to my manager (the one that I think hates me), asking if I can go back to being part bookseller and part barista and she said yes. Surprise? Yes, I was! Anyhow, I guess she doesn’t hate me that much. Is that a good thing? Too early to tell. Oh, so I thought I was in the clear with her when I saw my work schedule for next week. She gave me 4 days, but 2 of those days, I have classes. I’ve given her my new availability weeks ago. She probably forgot so I wrote her another letter. I still don’t know if she changed it. I seriously cannot work. Great!

In addition, I’m going to start volunteering next week in the hospital’s pharmacy. Well, maybe the week after that, but soon. I’m kind of excited because I really could use a good recommendation letter from the Senior Pharmacist. That would look great for my application. Too bad I started too late, but that was because it took forever for the Pharmacist to contact me. It took a whole damn year!

Also, the other day, I got this text from my friend who works at the job that I want to get a position at. It said, “My boss wants to know if you can still work” or something like that. I told her yes, but she hasn’t said anything since so I don’t know. Yeah, I don’t really care anymore.

I got a TB screening because it’s require for volunteers and I’m negative. But I have high blood pressure. I’ve never had high blood pressure before. WTF!

See how there always bad news along with good news.

In other news, I went to the outlet and got another Coach bag. Haha! Yesterday was payday so I went and got myself a present. I’m not as broke as last summer. God, I only had $50 in the bank last summer because I barely worked.

Empty parking garages, roadside motels, dark caves, dank basements, overgrown forests—what kind of setting makes you feel nervous?

All of them! The only time I don’t feel nervous is when I’m with someone else or when there are a lot of people around. I watch a lot of CSI and murder movies so I’m always thinking the worse.

Describe your idea of a perfect summer vacation.

1) Being able to relax at home without any nagging or bitching from other people.

2) Going to a different country with money to spend.

I’ll take either one of them.

Have you ever won a contest, drawing, or lottery? What was the prize?

I don’t ever win anything big. Once in awhile I win a lottery ticket or a few bucks here and there. I wish I can win the jackpot.

What do you think is the worst job?

Have you guys seen that TV show called “Dirtest Jobs” or something like that? Well, I would HATE to do one of those, but I would hate more to deal with dead bodies. I can never go into a field that’s related to death.

If you could be a teenager living in any decade, which one would you choose?

Probably some time in the future because more technology and probably more freedom to do things.

Perhaps no genre has benefited more from the Internet than the rant, and LiveJournal has seen some of the finest in its class. What is your favorite rant from the pages of LJ?

My favorite rants are the from “Customers suck” community. They’re all pretty funny.

What do you want your last meal to be?

Steak! If it’s the last thing I’m going to eat, it has to be meat. I am a meat eater.

Which cartoon character do you think is the most disturbing?

Some of the new cartoons shown nowadays are pretty disturbing to me. It’s not like it used to be.

What’s your favorite thing to order for takeout (or takeaway)?

Takeouts for college students are usually: pizza or chinese food.

If you had to choose between your friends and your significant other, who would you choose?

 It depends. If they’re arguing, then it depends on what it’s about. If it’s choosing who to hangout with, I usually pick the one that I don’t get to see a lot.

Do you think that animals feel regret?

Maybe. Coco knows when she’s doing something bad and she always hide afterwards. Though, it could just be fear.

What was your favorite fairy tale as a child?

Disney! I loved Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty…

Describe your dream house (even if it’s not a house).

Big house with many rooms and a huge walk-in closet. I also want a pool, guest house, and a mini house for Coco. I can do into more detail, but it would take forever to type.

Do you still use a landline at home, or do you rely completely on your cell phone?

I only use my landline when I have to do activate a credit card or call different companies for my mom. All personal calls are on my cell phone. I really don’t see the need for a landline anymore, but my parents still use it.

What I’ve learned in the past couple of weeks:

- Yes, my manager is not too fond of me. She might even hate me. I don’t know. To my face, she’s nice, but behind my back, she probably talks shit about me. How do I know this? Remember when I said that my supervisor asked me if I wanted to be a trainer? Well, I’m not. Instead, they asked one of my other co-worker (nice girl, though), who is on her final warning for have too many no-call-no-show, to be one. Nothing against her, but I just think it’s a little fucked up. I don’t want to be a trainer because my availability will change in August, but still. To be asked and then secretly make someone else and not at least tell me is fucked up. Around my manager, I’ve always managed to do something wrong, but when she’s not there, I don’t. I miss the old manager. She was crazy, but she was a sweet lady. But I got over it because I’m actually going to start volunteering in the hospital’s pharmacy in a week. Then summer school is starting in 2 weeks.

In other news, $72 + $24 was taken out of my debit card last month. I was afraid to call my bank to get my money back, but I finally did. $72 will be credit back while they investigate. $24 is only an inquiry because I’m waiting to see if the company that took it will give it back. If they don’t in 2 weeks, I’m going to file an official claim.

Random: My sister is home from school and she just threw up. Stomach flu or food poisoning? At least, she threw up in the toilet and not my room.

Old white man: So what kind of cookies do you have?

Me: Well, there are chocolate chip, orange creme, oatmeal raisin, and snickerdoodle.

OWM: Snickerdoodle? Do I look like I know what that is?

Me: ….well, it’s a cinnamon, sugar cookie…

OWM: hm….

I can’t think of a title, but I just want to blog.

So it’s about 1AM right now and I’m still awake. I find it hard to sleep at night, but I have no trouble sleeping until 2 or 3 PM. I guess I’m just a night owl.

Finally, it’s June. June started off bad. My paternal Grandma went to the hospital. Earlier in May, my maternal Grandma was hospitalized, but she’s better now. However, the conditions of my paternal Grandma is unknown. I’m going to the hospital tomorrow. We’ll see.

Other than that, not much has happened. Well, it’s only the 3rd of June so who knows? Maybe things will get better at the end of the month or in July. What a crappy summer so far!

Work has been okay for the most part. When my manager is not there, I feel great and everyone else is cool. I still have work on Thursday and then I’m heading on another trip out of San Jose. I remember the time when I was still living on campus and wishing that I was in San Jose, but now I just want to get out! If I have the money, I would move out already. Being at home is stressful. Though, another reason why I need to leave the city is because there are no jobs here. I need to go somewhere else where there are less asian people and more job opportunities for pharmacy technicians or lab technicians. However, I still have classes to take so I can’t exactly get up and leave. I feel trapped.

I need to get back into webdesigning and getting my sites up. AC has been down for more than a year now and I don’t have the motivation to do anything with it. Maybe it’s RIP AC.net forever. I’m surprised that my blog is still active. I’m already downgraded my reseller and completely deleted Honey-Blossom so who know what’s next. I might disappear from the web completely. The only time I turn on my computer is to check my e-mails and watch Detective Conan.

Oh, and my webcam record videos and the sound is actually decent. Maybe I’ll video blog.
