STILL HEART LEMON.

  • I am awesome at wasting time + Bob.

    So yesterday I was supposed to study. But i reintroduced myself to freecell. Well technically lemon coerced me into playing freecell after I had reintroduced myself to hearts.

    Whoosh!
    There goes studying for today's exam.

    Whoosh!
    There goes my friggin afternoon! Gah.

    Anyways, this was how I spend last Sunday:

    Me and FEB saw *BOB SINCLAR*!




    Home early. Cos the performance was great at some points, but averaged and average. FEB summed that up with "Bob fell asleep". The club was pretty though. I love that place. I also like how here anyone really can get into clubs and see Bob Sinclar for a reasonable price. Apparently in Paris you pay much more and the clubs are a lot more exclusive. Maybe that's why Bob didn't quite rock the party over here. He made the crowd go wild when he played World! Hold on! Maybe one day you will have to answer to the children of the sky!

    Then staggered to work the next day and felt like dying the entire morning. I like, seriously too old to stay up late or something.


    ROAR. my photos are gone.

  • VDAY.

    Vday!

    My phone had to choose yesterday to die so on Vday I didn't get to call my bf. Ok, so when he forgot that it was Valentine's day on the day itself ( well it was 1am only i guess) I had this fleeting image of me getting a call at home around 6pm when the sky's all dark outside to him saying he tried to call me but couldn't get to me and just decided to go home. Oh, by the way, happy valentines. Ok I have a lot of work now, talk to you later.

    THANK GOD IT WAS A FLEETING IMAGE.

    He gave me a card! (A kinky one too! NOT THAT KIND OF KINKY, more like a PG13 kinky. hahaha.) Apparently he bought it a month ago! and he wrote a lot on it. I was so happy. HappyhappyHappyhappyHappy. So happy that he remembered. So I told him that. He said "Why? Do you think i'm so unromantic?". Of course not. But that was before I heard how he remembered to get the card to begin with, and also remembered:

                    (lemon's going on a year-end trip and I can't wait until he gets back so I get to be with him)
                  
                    lemon: I'm going on (some day). But I'll try to come back early..
                    me: (awwww, heart meltmeltmeltmeltmelt.)
                    lemon: (continues sentence) so I don't have to pay extra to get a new card.
                    me: ...


    Then he told me we were going to chocolate fondue tonight.
    I'm immediately HAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPYHAPPY.

    I know how much I like chocolate. He knows how much I like chocolate.
    So we don't have pictures because we're idiots. But that's ok.




    1 x Semi-sweet chocolate fondue with 23876 types of fruits
    1 x chocolate and banana crepe .



    FIN.

  • French buddy.



    Last night I had coffee with my friend, formerly entitled French Exchange Buddy, FEB for short (or as lemon puts it incorrectly, FED. cos he can't make acronyms). Speaking french again was painful at first, but surprisingly, after what, 6 months of no practice, words came to me quicker than I expected. We talked about random things, like how she wanted to meet a spanish man who could potentially dance salsa with her. Except the self-proclaimed 6 foot 2, 30 y.o. man with green, green eyes turned out to be closer to 50 and fat. We laughed a lot about that. She has a little place of her own outside the city, so she invited me to come see it when the weather gets warmer. Our conversation wound its way around immigration woes, the problems of finding a job these days, how I quit my old job of literally standing all day and found a newer, comfier one ( I sit in front of a computer and surf the web. Then I get paid. Very rewarding experience), how she hated Valentine's day because she was single, how I am excited about my first Valentine's day with my boyfriend of 7 months, how we had a fight the day before but we made up now, how tired she looked currently, oh, look at time, I must be getting dinner for my boyfriend, he must be hungry, oh, but let's meet up again soon, yes, definitely, see you soon.


    I realized I've fallen into the trap of being holed up with my boyfriend. It was actually a new feeling to see other friends again. Have to make more effort to do that.

    Ps. Watched Sweeney Todd with another friend. It was totally movie and dinner date thing, except that the movie started at 10pm, and dinner started at 12am. Haha. Had LOTS of chocolate.

    I love "I'll steeeal you, Jo-aaaaaanna".

  • So third interview was yesterday. Um, that job called for "some familiarity for some programming languages so I decided, sure, I have "some familiarity".

    Then they asked me if I could do like, 3D rendering in Java. It was like,

    Them: "So as you can see the last person who did this didn't layer this properly. Can you do it?"
    Me: NOOOO. "Um, I could try?"

    Yea. And I wasn't coming from the faculty they wanted, but I guess it's still nice that they were willing to consider me. But also I didn't have the experience they wanted either. So that's that. This job would probably be more suited for lemon anyways. Cos it's real nerdy.

    But wait. There's a happy ending right?
    Me: Of course there is!

    I got the KASPERSKY JOB! hahahaha. So I get paid training next week and my "boss" is the nicest out of the three "bosses" that interviewed me. Coolio!

    I will now grace my entry with:

    harhar.

    So I emailed my brother about how his ghetto picking-a-funnily-named-antivirus-for-his-computer skills helped me land a job. and he said "gj n00b". Well at least he didn't pick a more boring antivirus name, like McAfee. Psh. Ok off to get my phone bill paid!

    And lemon gets to pick me up for a celebration-i-KNEW-you'd-get-a-job dinner. GUESS WHAT WE'RE EATING? I'll give you a clue. It rhymes with fushi, or kushi, and looks like an edible version of this:

    2nd interview today!

    This one was a tech-y interview and went SO MUCH BETTER than the first one. Although i wouldn't say it was a breeze. The technician who interviewed me was really nice and I got to ask a lot of questions about the job. And he said it wasn't a super technical job so that's good (sweep away nightmares of installing crazy hardware). But then he surprised me with a three-part quiz thing. One situational quiz, one technical quiz, and one general questionnaire asking me which softwares i knew.

    ok the situational one was um, rather hard. I kinda panicked when they asked
    1. "what would you do if the computer or an application froze?"

    Ok i SO know what to do if an application froze. Do the Ctrl-Alt-Del thing and try to close your program from the Task Manager. And for MacOSX, programs NEVER crash. They just quit themselves and 5 minutes later ask you if you want to submit a bug report. So that part of the question is done. But if the computer FROZE? NEVER HAPPENS TO A MAC. IT WILL RIGHT ITSELF IN DUE TIME! well of course i couldn't really write that. Even though you know it's true. (hahhahaha i see FUMES of anger rising from the antiMacProPC people) For a PC, honestly i'd just wait impatiently for 5 minutes, chalk it up to a typical sign of PC inferiority, and press the big on/off button. But obviously i couldn't really write that. So i just wrote some crap.

    More questions included:

    2. Name two anti-virus softwares.
    W. T. F. I only know ONE! NORTON! And after being told Norton and Symantec are the same thing, I'm glad at least I didn't put both down. BUT there's a happy ending to this question! I sat there WTF-ing about how this question is grossly unfair, when I remembered my brother had installed some ghetto-ass cracked anti-virus for his PC! Wait, what was the name? Thinkthinkthink. It rhymes with sky. Like skype. But not. Um. Kasskype. No. Um..
    So it took me about 5 minutes of digging through files in my brain and playing around with the letters of the alphabet before I remembered. Kaspersky! And gleefully wrote it down. Wow, come to think of it, Kasskype is really similar to Kaspersky. Just rearrange the p and the e and add an r. Anyways..

    3. Tell me what all these file extensions STAND FOR. exe,jpg,mpg,mov,avi,pdf,doc,txt,mp3, pptetc.

    My god. I know knew the simple ones. Like exe. and xls. and ppt. and doc. But jpg mov avi? WELL then i asked my tech-y savvy friends and they couldn't do it either. So I felt a bit better. But not before they all knew what pdf stood for and i didn't.

    Well I tried my best. I know I didn't sound like I knew absolutely NOTHING. And I was really interesting in the job and I demoonstrated that. One thing that didn't quite sit well with me was:


    After my interview was over, I stayed behind and made use of the computers that were there. There was this one software that I used last fall, and I talked about it to the guy who interviewed me but he said it was no longer available here but was available elsewhere and I didn't bother to follow that info up just yet. So after a while, I decided i DID want to know, and popped over to the helpdesk (the one where I would be behind if i got the job) and asked where I could find this software now since it wasn't available anymore.

    Two things happened:

    1. I had to REPEAT myself because the girl had never HEARD of that software before.

    2. After repeating myself, she just brushed me off with "I have no idea."

    Ok, how did you get to be behind that desk? You don't just get paid to sit behind that desk and EAT your food when it clearly says no food and drinks allowed and let the smell waft around tempting other people. aoirjhagioriogra. I have a feeling I won't get this job and it will make me mad because I think I'm more competent than her. Or at least nicer.

    Ok must do hw I don't want to do! :(

    Ps. listen to Adam Tensta! sick beatz, yo. My favorite part of discovering his music was reading the comments on youtube.

    commenter #1: There are black people in Sweden?

    commenter #2: And here come the Perez Hilton readers.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA. And I SO didn't discover Adam Tensta from Perezhilton.com. SO didn't.

    Now I shall leave you with a picture of what we should all be like to make this world a better place.

  • First interview today.

    Well by how much chocolate I am ingesting, you can tell how horrible it went.
    By how long my post-interview nap, in which i used my sleep-all-the-bad-things-away-and-then-sleep-some-more approach, you can also tell how horrible it went.

    Giant monster chocolate chip cookie x1. (So it doesn't sound a lot, but it's called monster for a reason)
    3.5 hour nap.

    The interview:
    BOTH the officer and the secretary interviewed me. What, no panel? Anyways, halfway through she started speaking in FRENCH TO ME. HALFWAY THROUGH. No "ok let's test your french", or "ok I'm gonna talk to you in French now". So when she asked her first question in French, it was like:

    "frenchfrench frenchfrench francais francaisfrancais.frenchfrench francais?"

    That's not English. It's, French. FRENCH? Shitshitshit. OKOKlistenlistenlisten. Ok she ended. okresponsenowGO!

    "    mumble bumblemumble frenchfrench francais. Francais, pausepause, frenchfrench mumble peeterpeeter smallsplat."

    "More french french francaisfrancais. French francaisfrench?"

    "Er, mumble mumble shit whats that word again? oh yeah french french mumble francaisfrancais. SPlosh."


    You get the point.

    The french bit wasnt TOO bad, because I'm great at being vague and picking up small snippets of French.

    But clearly I made it seem like I wasn't fit for the job.
    But I CAN BE! if only I could think straight at the time. And be less fidgety. Who the hell schedules an interview in the morning anyways? Sheesh. Definitely wasn't my idea.

    Yea, so i got real depressed after and tried to sleep it away.

    Lemon thinks I'm pissed at him. But I'm not. I just depressed and I feel like a loser. I don't like feeling like a loser. But today that's me.

    Also, perhaps related, one of my profs reminded me of my old English teacher. In a bad way. You know how someone subtly insults/ridicules you? Yeah. He implied I was lazy but did it with a smile. And when I retorted, he turned away from me, and dismissed my response. With that same smile. I was instantly reminded of my English teacher who had exactly the same character. You might think someone like that is nice just because they smile all the time, but listen carefully to what they say because even their tone misleads you.
    I feel like squashing something now. But I don't want to squash anything that doesn't deserve to be squashed. So that would be everything-2.

    In retrospect, maybe not getting that job was a good thing. It sounded like a lot of work for not a lot of pay (even though I could work sometimes from home) and I'd be working for a really scary boss. Who I could see being in the same elevator as my prof and English teacher and haing a very nice chat. Also, by scary boss, I mean ice queen.

    Another interview on Monday. I need this one. Praypraypraypray.

  • Today i took a nap. But like all naps of mine, this one was 2.5 hours and i woke up feeling like SHIT. feeling like my insides have died out and i'm just a shell. i absolutely HATE this feeling. and i hate how this isnt the first time. i hate how i dont have enough time now to study (just realized that ad cal requires more of time that i dont have) and i hate how that is my fault. i hate hate hate. i just want to sleep. no i dont want to sleep. but now im not gonna have a good sleep at night. hate hate hate. >:'(. there just made a new emoticon. sigh. i believe u can still be mad even though you have no right to.

    i hate how SLOW i happen to study. i hate how much time i also waste because im not built to study for 2435435879 hours at a time. i hate being stuck in this situation.
    i had a dream where ALL the lightbulbs in our house slowly fused themselves out and we never bothered changing them until the last one finally went out and we had to try to find alternative light in the darkness. MY GOD IM NOT AROUND THE HOUSE ALL THE TIME TO DO IT MYSELF! i also hate how the little time i spend in the house i have to use for washing dishes. today was the 2347478894375th time i washed the dishes. i dont care if there are people out there having it SOMUCHMOREWORSE than me. my taking-crap-from-other-people meter is FULL.

    i also hate how i woke up and it was DARK. i felt like i wasted AN ENTIRE DAY.

    im also going home for christmas. right now i havent quite had the time to process that in my mind. because all it means to me is packing and spending 345897 hours TRAVELLING.

    oh i also hate how my computer works only for 5 minutes in a day.

    i think im travelling on december 31 back here. spending new years travelling. imsosad.

MY GOD IM PATHETIC okillstopnow.
