the uninteresting adventures of Pura.

Soooo turns out I didn't get the raise my boss promised to give me. Nobody got a raise. I can understand why she's been desperate for me all week, she has hardly any staff left. And if my loan wasn't coming in two weeks after I need to pay my first rent payment, I'd be gone too. So I'm still on almost below minimum wage for a job that literally is back breaking. I've been working there TWO DAYS and I already have a burn and fucked the muscles in the arch of one of my feet somehow so now it hurts to bend it in certain ways. Which makes getting up off the ground and crouching to pick things up very painful.

It's making me get into gear about possibly opening up commissions and selling some of the anime stuff I don't want or need anymore. I have two huge boxes of manga and anime I am trying to get rid of, as well as doujinshi, plush toys, figures, extra keyblades, stickers--you name it, I probably have it in them depths of my room. I've made myself a selling community which I'll post up here when I've finished making some SELLING POSTS to it, and then let my flist have first picks over my junk and then advertise in LJ comms. HOPEFULLY I CAN SHIFT SOME OF IT AND EARN MY RENT. AND POSSIBLY FOOD BILLS BUT LET'S NOT GET TOO HASTY.

ANYWAY TODAY WAS MOSTLY AWESOME! I went into London and met up with [livejournal.com profile] ormery and [livejournal.com profile] countersparking to see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which I thought was amazing. I ENJOYED IT THOROUGHLY and really want to see it again. jfdgndfjg. I also purchased a Scott Pilgrim comic T-shirt and a textbook for my dissertation, and had an awesome fun time with my dudes. INJECTION OF HAPPY GET.

IT was really rainy and miserable all day though, and about halfway through the movie my cold decided to get about ten times worse, so I spent the rest of the day sort of in this... hazey headachey zombie walk. WHICH WASN'T VERY FUN. And now I have a blocked nose and I can't breathe and I have a headache and I have to be in work in the morning tomorrow, which means I can't go see Inception again with my parents. Sob. I mean, I guess I still have a job, but since I have it I am allowed to whine about it.




BUT YES. SCOTT PILGRIM WAS AWESOME. AND MY T-SHIRT IS AWESOME BUT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEND ANY MORE MONEY WITHOUT RAISING MY RENT FIRST AND HIDING IT SOMEWHERE.

brb passing out forever.

Dude, BELOW mminimum wage? That's balls. (Why does everyone's lives suck today ugh).

If you have any more Ultimanias hiding out, I'll take those off your hands :D

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 08:23 am (UTC)(link)
Almost below! Very close to being below. But it sucks when I've been working there for two years and have been on the same wage and everyone is earning like £1.50 more an hour than me. :I

Nope! You got all of the. I do have some KH Doujinshi and the extra keyblade play arts set still in the box (which I've seen going for like $250 on ebay) and some of the KH manga, but you already got the ultimanias xD

Darn. XD 'Cause for KH merch, those are pretty much what I'm interested in.

And that sucks. :/

Your boss is being unfair, especially if you're under minimum wage. That's not legal, sweetheart. Okay, not being much above it is a little unfair. But actually under it? You can report her for that, and she should know it. At this point I'd be putting my foot down. You have no idea how great my rage is right now fknjdsncd

I'm seeing Scott Pilgrim on Sunday fjdksfk I can't wait. WHICH T-SHIRT DID YOU GET? I have the black, skinny tee, Sex Bob-omb one. It's awesome and I ♥ it.

Join the club with the whole rainy thing. I got absolutely soaked walking back from the train station. Dreeeenched. Not fun D:

Read this. Print it out. Give it to your employer. Contact the number if she does nothing.

Sorry, really early. I realised that I didn't provide you with actual help, or back-up stuff. My bad. Just woken up, so er. Anyway, yes. That will tell you more.

SEE BELOW 8(

[identity profile] purapea.livejournal.com 2010-08-26 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm almost under. If I was a year older I would be, which is what the irritating thing is. Everyone else is getting so much more than me, and I'm doing just as good a job as they are. I think it's so unfair that the only reason they are getting more is because they are over 22 and I'm not when I put in just as much effort as anyone else AND I pretty much come in EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK when she wants me and work crazy hours because she knows I need the money.

IT IS SO GOOD I DON'T EVEN!!!! And I have a BLUE ONE WITH COMIC BOOK SCOTT FIST PUMPING THE FRONT OF THE SHIRT AND RAMONA HANGING OUT IN THE BACKGROUND WITH BLUE HAIR. I got it in Forbidden Planet because they didn't have any of the Xavier hoodies which made me super sad. It's a skinny one too and actually makes me look crazy skinny I don't even.

I GOT SICK BECAUSE I GOT DRENCHED 8(

For some reason I read that as "purchased a Scott Pilgrim comic textbook for my dissertation" and was torn between confused and !!!! WHAT IS IT CAN I HAVE IT OMG OMG WANT
