| Lol, that's pretty good. Thanks guy ^_^, I really owe it to my friend who found the open position, vouched for me, and referred me to the project manager engineer I'll be working under. While we were touring the facility we ran into him and it was perfect timing. He was saying how he knows a lot of people, but how I'm the most qualified and self-motivated person for the job that he knows. Almost brought a tear to my eye to see him have my back :'). On paper as an engineer I have no redeeming features and I've always known it but never really experienced and appreciated it, but with both my first job and this current job I just got I've come to learn that it's all about who you know rather than so much as how much you know (granted you're qualified to do the job). Did my drug screening last week and have my I9 appointment this coming Thursday. Then hopefully I'll get a new job and new car haha. |

| That is very true. You could be the most brilliant person or the most qualified person on Earth, but if you don't know anyone that can lend you a hand, more than likely you're gonna have to start from the bottom, just like me xP Best of luck :) What kind of car are you planning to get btw? :O |
 |
| Thanks! The car I want to get is a 6th generation (2006-2011) Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Now when I say that it sounds like I'll be making a lot of money which I'm not saying I won't be getting paid well, but you gotta keep in mind I'm a huge car fanatic. Cars has always been my interest, passion, and love since I was a kid and ever since I got my license in highschool I've always been eyeing cars I want but could never afford. The vehicle I drive right now is older than me but I take care of it (just restored my front grills and put in a new front emblem on it two weeks ago) and have put in so much work into despite it not being a sport car. So I saved up money since I was in highschool, never bought a vehicle after my first job, and even though realistically I should keep saving and live more stable as well as invest more into my future I'm finally at the point in my life where I can actually have a car I really want. It will take at least a third of my paycheck every month for five years probably, but I'm willing to live with that as long as I have a car that's cheaper but faster than a lot of cars on the market that I especially like. I guess we all have our own priorities, lol. Plus I'm living single and I'm young so now is the time to do it. |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| Couldn't agree more with what you just said :P Go and get your dreams~ |
|
| Absolutely! Hopefully the future brings even bigger and brighter opportunities where I can afford to give back to the people who helped me get to this stage in my life as well as get even a better car XD but for now just going to make the most out of my situation completely thankful |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| Man I wish I could have a new car right now. Used cars can be such a pain, breaking down frequently and randomly :/ Maybe one day, one day, I'll be able to have a new car (>_<)q |
|
| Haha honestly I don't want a new car because its so expensive. I just have to make small fixes to my '99 TL and hope it runs for another 10 years lol. |
 |
| Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out my financial situation since I'm only being sub-contracted to work for them so the car probably won't come any time soon, at least not till I'm pretty confident about my financial stability. I'm tired of dealing with my current vehicle but I don't want to get another vehicle unless it's one I really want -_____-. |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| That definitely says Lettuce lol, gotta catch them all. |
|
| http://crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/10/05-1/naruto-manga-reportedly-ending-with-5-more-episodes Man it's about time <.< I've been waiting for this for soooo long! xD |
|
| So I've been mad busy with work and school that I didn't really pay attention to how long it's been since I posted here. If ziraki was still active around here then I'd probably be posting more since there's been a good list of scenes I could rave about with him. Speaking of which, my friend told me to pick up Akame ga kill and it's pretty darn good (especially after this week's episode). Anyways, aside from that I was pre-certified to finally graduate this December. Sent out my ceremony invitations and only three weeks away from when I walk. Just gotta make it through this last semester XD Anything new going on with you guys? |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| Good to hear from you again Nymph :) Nothing major over here, except that I will be taking my vacation week soon. Other than that same old. Surviving the harsh cold weather of the UP :P |
|
| Nice, are you working black friday (I think again) this week? Weather hit mid 20s last week which was unbelievably cold for Florida. Been around 70s today though :D |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| Not this year thank God, but I am working the day after it, so yeah, cleaning will be sooooo much fun~ It has already hit below 0 over here, and we got lots of snow as well. |
|
| Danggg, whenever we hit 30s here I'm already complaining lol. Well at least cleaning is pretty laid back and can pass time pretty well. |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| Yup, although I heard that this year's black friday was pretty chill compared to other years xD lol |
|
| Only because you weren't working, lol. How was your vacation? |
| IG: @ChrisCrossCrash "There isn't a single guy who doesn't want to spoil his girl." --Amagami SS |
| I know right? <.< It was awesome :) It was very nice seeing my family again after 3 to 3 years and half. It was also very nice being able to relax and not have the stress of work in mind for an entire week ^^ lol |
|
| It's spring, and I live in a very plant-abundant valley. T-T |
| "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11 |
| There's usually snow over here but in late spring/early summer you get to see some plants around the abundant forests over here :O |
|
| The problem with living in a plant-abundant valley in the spring time, though, is that there's so much pollen, you can see it. http://wgcl.images.worldnow.com/images/17208916_BG1.jpg Sometimes it just gets the cars, but this year, if you're standing close to enough plants, and the wind is blowing just right, you'll get a dense cloud of pollen like this http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mhr8loYEniE/maxresdefault.jpg right in your face. Apparently, people who don't typically have allergies, develop them when they come here, and people who do have allergies, just die for a few months and come back in the summer. |
| "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11 |
| Yup, true story. There was pollen everywhere here a couple days ago xD I am still not allergic to it though it seems cause I had no allergic reaction to it :O |
|
| "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --Jeremiah 29:11 |
| Some of those looked like they are hurt lol like the horse one for example. |
|
| The alligator looks like someone tossed it to the water xD |
