In My Room.

How apt.

I don't feel like designing right now. Although... I didn't really do much work today. I had customer service training at work today. So I basically got paid to sit in a room for 3 hours and read a powerpoint on how to better serve our customers. Hoorah! Well, it wasn't bad. I got to see a lot of people at work today, which was cool. One of  them being my best friend. Tee hee. 

So I suppose I'll give you a quick update in the hopes that it'll somehow inspire me to fix up my design projects. This Thursday was the last day of my delayed fall semester. We didn't do much... it was more of a work period. I actually left half way through my second class and went to a flea market that my school was organizing. I bid on some cat figurines at the silent auction and guess what... I WON! They were worth $100 for a set of 10. So I basically paid for a quarter of its worth. I don't usually win stuff like that (IRL) so I'm pretty psyched. I think I'll pick it up on Tuesday... cause that's when I plan to drop off my design projects. Although... I have till March 6 to get them. 

Hmm what else? Oh, work has been kinda meh. Well, my co-workers are cool and really nice. Just some of the customers can be so difficult that I just wanna throw my scanning gun at them. Honestly. Yesterday, I worked 7 hours. It wasn't as busy... which was surprising for a Saturday. But, there was this couple that were nice... until I scanned their items. They were telling my that the prices on their shelves were actually $30 cheaper than what they were supposed to be. So I called that respective department but it was so busy upstairs that I had to call about... 5 or 6 times. At one point, the customer was shouting at the representative on the other line. Eventually, I just had to do a price over. Thing is, the same situation, with the same couple happened with a bed frame. This didn't end so easily. I had to call the beds department, then the bedding manager and finally a representative went downstairs to the cash area where they talked to the disgruntled customers. It took foreeeever. I have no idea how long it took to call all those people upstairs. All I know is, after a good 3 or 4 customers after the difficult ones, it was time for my 15 minute break. Also, when I got back from my break, those customers were still there, arguing with the beds department representative. At least they weren't mad at me. Thank God. 

Oh, so my sister knows about my piercing now. Well, I had to tell her at 4AM Thursday morning. It was really funny because she had no idea I got pierced although it was 4-5 days after and I had my hair up, clearly revealing my piercings. And I had a big bag of what looked like cocaine–but is actually sea salt–lying on my desk. She told me, "wow, I'm going to be such a bad mother. My kids are gonna get pierced and it's gonna take me forever to notice." Her friend agreed. haha. 

Wow, I'm all over the place today. On Friday, my close friend and I visited our yearbook teacher. He was having a really bad day although, he appreciated our visit. That yearbook is alot worse than our year. According to our teacher and one of the students, they have already missed a deadline, lost equipment and n00b out on layouts (despite the huge amount of resources that past yearbook staff weren't lucky enough to have). But yeah, I feel kinda bad... although I had a lot of hardships with that class and some people involved. I guess that's how I am. I always end up feeling really bad for people, despite what they did in the past. That can be both good and bad–I get taken advantage of a lot because of that. 

Anyway, we met up with our other friends the same day to go cosplay fabric shopping. We actually got fabric this time! I just need to get one more colour and I'm gonna get started. I'm sooo excited. Oh man, I need to get started on some art to sell and I need to get some coloured contacts once I find my prescription. So many things to buy! Good thing I have a job. *phew*

Alright... I think that's about it. I'm gonna try to do work. I'll try to resist the urge to watch some movies. That's gonna be pretty hard. 

The End.
