So I've finally had enough of my job sending me home in or near tears every night. I've hung up my hi-vis under their name and about to go hand in my uniform.

I'm tired of the constant stress. I'm tired of the walk and no I don't want them to 'ring me for a chat', so after 2 years my stint with them has ended and I've never felt so relieved.

I'm signing on to a new agency and hopefully they will find me something nice.

Not that anyone/many reads this anyway.

Shopping later to get stuff for a stew and hoping a nice little job comes up near me as 3 hours traveling and 6 mile hikes each week is ridiculous.

As for the Netbook, that ties in with above as Behemoth weighs like 9kg and my baggage allowance is only 10kg... plus Behemoth was EXPENSIVE so I'd rather not leave him in an apartment in a strange country. So I'm looking for a netbook to just use internets and msn on (and my mom wants it to check emails and her website.)

Though I'm wanting to buy a Linux machine purely for the fact windows machines cost so bloody much and I can always put XP on it if I really don't get on with Linux (new user of the OS, famous last words). Though mom threw a tantrum at me wanting a Linux machine because SHE wants Windows, she wasn't very happy when I said _I_ was buying it for MY use that SHE was BORROWING so she could shove her complaints where the sun don't shine as far as I was concerned. No like, don't use (also hurrah for arguments over a hypothetical computer for a hypothetical holiday >> petty).

Ah, work, lovehate relationship we have.

I didn't mind working when it was only 15 minutes by bus away and a short walk to the bus station and home.

I mind now you are a mile walk to the train station, a 30 minute train ride then a 2 mile walk the other side....

Mir does not like this at all, no she does not... :/

Mir also hates the retarded security assholes throwing a fit when she tries to correct their delivery mistakes causing Mir to have to get her manager to yell at them and let her through to correct their delivery mistake. Mir has not seen those two jackasses since that day however... Mir hopes they got fired.

2: Work, stop overloading me with crap, really... I earn barely above minimum wage for this shit and you only hired me to do returns paperwork... I no longer do returns but now do orders, reception work,'teh ubah eemportantz buhkin een prosess' and whatever else you guys don't want to do. I understand I'm agency but good god!

3: I don't want to go to your warehouse in Newark, I didn't say I was so why say 'thanks for agreeing to come to Newark with us' wtf... when did I say that? Yanno what, if I'm going to be traveling over 2 hours a day you can pay me more for it. I don't care. If I am that integral to your team now then both hire me permanently and pay me more than the shitty wage than you are now...

Name 12 of your original characters.

I. Naito
II. Virgil
III. Aya
IV. Fen
V. Noname
VI. Lucifer
VII. Loki
VIII. Eldrich
IX. Akanni
X. Tsuki
XI. Terra
XII. Rini

I. I (Naito), VI (Lucifer), and XI (Terra) are all told to wait in a room together until someone comes in to get them. Let's say no one does. Who would leave the room first?

Either Naito or Terra, depends who gets fed up with Lucifer flirting with Terra first, Lucifer would then probably pass out on the floor until he is fetched (likely by a paramedic).

II. If II (Virgil) had to do one nice thing for VIII (Eldrich), what would it be?

Erm, Virgil's not nice so it would likely be him not pouring veet (hair removal cream) all over Eldrich.

III. If IV (Fen) and VII (Loki) co-starred in a movie, what genre would it most likely fall under?

Humor, Fen's crazy… Poor Loki will then be forever mentally scarred and be terrified of boobs rather like Virgil is.

IX. If III (Aya) was made into a toy, who would be more likely to buy it? IX (Akanni) or X (Tsuki)?

Tsuki, Akanni is a slave and doesn't have will of his own.

V. Would V (Noname) be likely to consider stalking XII (Rini) or vise versa?

Erm… probably neither seeing as Rini is the eclipsed moon and Noname hates anything to do with the Earth.


VI. What would VI (Lucifer) make the better star of? An anime or a newspaper comic strip?

Depends who'd want to read about a drunkard… Likely a newspaper strip as those are generally short and doesn't continue freely.


VII. VIII (Eldrich) wants to buy a car but can't decide who offers a better bargain. Should (s)he buy from II (Virgil) or XI (Terra)?

Whoever he buys from he's going to end up in a lamppost. Terra hasn't a clue about the 'metallic beetles' the humans she created are and Virgil is a mean little bitch and would be amused at his strife. That said, Eldrich would likely piddle on the car after turning into his wolf form and just use his own power to get where he wants.

VIII. If V (Noname) wanted to dye his or her hair but could not decide on the color, would (s)he rely on I's (Naito) opinion or IV's (Fen)?

… Lol. He'd likely dye his hair with Naito's guts? And he trusts Fen as far as a flea can toss her (*squish*). So I'm betting neither.


IX. Whose babies would be cuter? XII (Rini) and III's (Aya) or IX (Akanni) and II's (Virgil)? (If it is impossible for them to breed because of gender or species, just go with it and pretend that it was possible, please.)

I'm not quite sure. They may both have their cute points? Though I think Rini would castrate Aya before they got down to it. Virgil is just a whore but Akanni is a sheep so… VirgilxAkanni babys.

X. Who would have a DeviantArt account; and if not, what would their reason be?

Virgil, he likes to paint and he is the vainest out of all of them. So yes… Definitely Virgil.
