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.

And so starts the cycle that is the horror of working in an ironing shop.

I started up again today, mostly because she sent me a really frantic text earlier whilst I was fighting a final fantasy 13 boss (she totally threw off my groove and I ended up just turning the xbox off because I was LOSING) and I went in for the afternoon. It wasn’t that bad, just boring as fuck, and we’ve still not discussed my paycheck. I’m hoping i got that raise she was promising me, but who fucking knows. I’m just really worried that working there every day is going to drain me, and I’m not going to have any energy to do anything other than play video games or read stupid comics, when I should be reading text books for my dissertation and drawing concept art for my final film. Which still needs script development and shit, but right now if I even look at it I feel sick.

AND I WAS GOING TO LONDON ON TUESDAY... but I’m an idiot and thought Scott Pilgrim came out a day earlier than it actually does, so it’s not out till Wednesday. So I totally asked for the wrong day off work, and now I have no idea if I’ll be free on Wednesday even though I sent my boss a text at like 6pm telling her I can come in tomorrow instead of having it off in exchange for Wednesday. I’m pretty sure she already hates me again and will make me work both days for just screwing with her schedules OTL.

But at least it gave me a day to read the whole of Scott Pilgrim before I see it. Took me about four hours of solid reading, and I really enjoyed it a lot. And possibly have a Wallace muse but I’m not promising anything.

MOANING UNDER HERE )


ANYWAY. WEDNESDAY I AM HOPEFULLY SEEING SCOTT PILGRIM IF MY BOSS LETS ME TAKE THE DAY OFF INSTEAD OF TUESDAY BECAUSE I'M AN IDIOT. HOPEFULLY IT’LL BE AWESOME AND THEN I WILL GET A COPY OF GOOD OMENS AND READ THE SHIT OUT OF IT. AND POSSIBLY AN XI HOODIE FROM FORBIDDEN PLANET BUT ONLY IF THEY HAVE THEM SINCE THEY ONLY JUST CAME OUT.
