It's all their fault, really :-(
Was meant to meet some people about a coaching/interning project on Tuesday but, since I've been sickly for the past week+, I opted to stay home. Woman from the project called Tuesday morning and asked if I'd be in today (Thursday) instead and I said yes.
Didn't feel too great but took a bus into town, changed to yet another one that took me out to the remote place where they're at, only to find all the staff (save for one woman) are away on a course and the person I was supposed to meet won't be available until Monday..... Ah-huh....
The bus back into town wouldn't be due until another 40 minutes so I trekked across industrial land for half an hour so's I could get to a bus stop that'd take me directly home. My hips were numb from walking on concrete for such a long stretch of time. Luckily I had a scarf on to protect me from the low temperatures (though my throat feels funny now....).
Later on I checked the mail to see if they'd sent me an email about the change of plan, which they had ... it was sent not long after the woman had called me that morning ....
Now, if you're going to a conference/course I'd assume you're told well in advance. Absolutely not 1 ½ days prior, right? So she should've known this when she called Tuesday morning and told me so right there and then instead of sending a "ps email" not long after. Or, better yet, call me up again and say "whoops mistake, scratch that, lol".
Yeah, I'm stupid for not checking the mail but I still place the biggest blame on her/them/the Man.
Also, while I was in their HQ I looked at some papers posted on a board and they suggested they're doing the same thing as another project I was signed onto a couple of years back....
Aaaaaaagh! This all feels so pointless. One project after another that leads me nowhere. All it does is sour my life for a period of time and/or jeopardizes my mental health. /head desk
Sleepy time naow ._.
Return of the beads O_O!
1) Crafting
A head ache when I'm going for 3 rows, pretty decent sailing otherwise. Usually.
2) Photographing and processing of said photos
Kills me every time. If only I were better at it I wouldn't get so emo xD;
3) Calculating costs
Has become easier but it can be a hassle to find prices for certain beads and trying not to sell ones creations too short.
4) Writing descriptions and taking measurements
Booooooooring. And sometimes puzzling as to how I should word things.
5) Having to repeat steps after #1 or completely forgetting to do so with some items [and trying to find them in the mess that is my room]
.... This has happened way too many times.
But then my sister tries on a new creation and it's a perfect fit for her and she's totally in love with it and it reassures me that it's all worth it in the end :p
Cake or death!?
Awww, you guys are all so sweet. I feel spoiled rotten ;p Much love and cake/ice cream/pop tarts to everyone!
Aside from getting through another year of living, there's nothing much to report. Been making new stuff instead of taking pictures of the recently finished ones >.> Bought myself a place of internets (but thanks for the offer, James! *blows kiss*) with a less than ingenious address and briefly racked my brain on things surrounding this whole shebang. Good thing I have time to mull things over, since I'm not exactly the most speedy person when it comes to finalizing decisions ^_^;
Tomorrow I've got an appointment at the Unemployment office. They'll brief me on a new project (The Pomona Project ... O.o) which'll focus on coaching people/easing them into internship with the goal of getting hired. Pretty much the same set up as last time. I'll bring up what's currently going on (with the jewelry website) and see if maybe they can coach me in that direction since getting a job looks pretty slim. Don't feel like wasting my time interning someplace that won't hire me, ya know?
Oh! The little sister is coming to visit, yay! Mainly for the "Food Festival" that's going down this weekend but she felt gracious enough to squeeze us in :p Hopefully I can rope in her and the eldest sister to help me out with the photographing of the stuffs, mwuahahahaha! >:D
Don't know if I've brought this video to your attention already but here's a parting shot for ya:
Stroking of the beard can be tricky if it's attached to someone else
Hm, ya'll are somewhat spread out over that big old continent.... Mmm, mhm. Anyway :p
Lately my brain has been pretty focused on beading and quite a bit has been churned out created lately. With my room now slowly being flooded I obviously need to crack down on myself for not working harder at all on getting a place set up for selling mah jewelry stuffs. But there are some things that require the help of my wonderful friendly friends >.>
1. Hosting. Anyone got suggestions for a good deal? (I could shop around myself but asking friends who've possibly had experience with hosting seems like a better idea to me, hehe.)
2. Shaow, are you available to help me with building up the place and what do you need me to do? <:3
I know I can't dance but I love watching you do it
"So you think you can dance" makes me so happy *giggle* For season 5 I was cheering on Evan Kasprzak (*purrs*) and it was awesome how far he got! Such a sweetie and quite the groovy dancer. He could grab my butt any day ~_^
As usual there were plenty of awesome routines scattered throughout the season. Too many to get into right now but maybe I'll do a big post on the show one of these days :p
Speaking of things I've seen lately: "Jaws III" xD!!!!!!! Dad sat down for the first couple of minutes, throwing out a few quips/puns, and then he asked if he should leave me alone so's I could see it in peace. My response?
"You honestly think I'd watch this movie seriously??!!" lawls. Oh man. Great bad movie. Would've been even better with some friends to mock it further, though ;p
Other than that.... I've done nothing. Nothing. Aside from watching "So you think you can dance" to my hearts blissful content _^_ And re-furbishing my room for the umpteenth time, hehe.

PS: I'm trying to get an idea where people are populated (I keep forgetting, huh) so it'd be swell if you guys could mark it on the map, or just say the state, and PM me back /end of random post
