OOC Raves

Argys

Bit of a rave/rant, but my cute new mini-Dachshund is taking up space in my lap where my, well, laptop should be.

Jonathin

He's sitting on your toplap because he's jealous of your laptop. He has become the topdog?

Don't ask.

Chryenth

Sounds more like a toplap lapdog to me.

I'm sure he's a tip-top lapdog, though.

Tvistor

I want to throw sharp objects at you, Chryenth.

Sybilla

Went to the market, bought ice cream, went to stand in the shade to eat it, casually glance next to me - Benedict Cumberbatch standing nearby eating ice cream! I met him, in the wild. Woah. I'll never forget those cheekbones, and the eyebrows...

Second rave: my kitty's ok! Vets let her come home yesterday, I came up to see her. She's all patched up, her eye is bloodshot and teary but whole, and she's eating, can litter alone, and even wants to go out. So relieved!

Argys

Sweet, sweet, juicy watermelon.

I wonder what they'll talk about now they can't go on and on about how it's been such a long time since a British man won Wimbledon.

Mishgul

Its been a whole effing hour

Tvistor

Vanilla Ice has some crazy weird dance moves, man.

Mishgul

not as weird as flint flossy

Kyrra

Whee. Date Thursday night.

I will not work late. I will not work late. I will not...

Synbios

First day of on-the-job training. Chanced upon a comely newly-hired female web designer. Made small talk while waiting for office to open. Turns out that she hails from a university that has a long-time rivalry with that of mine, in the realm of college basketball. And it turns out that her university just lost to ours yesterday. The revelation of that brought a few chuckles between the two of us.

Lunchtime, she invited me over to a nearby McDonald's and we made further small talk about interests - turns out she's a gamer and watches anime, much like myself.

I suspect that she aims to kill me when my eldritch defenses are down. If I fail to post over the next few days regarding any good news as a result of my work, you humans don't get dibs on my stuff, especially my collection of highly-questionable art downloaded from the Internet. 

Erasariel

synbios pls respond

we want pics nao

Wysteria

He better pay for the arcade games, else he ain't no real gentleman.

Tvistor

I am sure Synbios has nothing but honorable intentions with regards to this girl, his formidable collection of hentai and Asian ingenuity.

Erasariel

I still want his formidable collection of hentai.

And I have no honorable intentions with it at all.

Synbios

@Wysteria: That depends on your definition of 'gentleman'. Are we talking about gentleman:

...or 'gentleman'?

@Erasariel, @Tvistor: What the hell are you humans talking about? Why would I have any interest in artwork of females in scantily-clad outfits? I was obviously talking about stolen SCP-class non-Euclidean Impressionist Visual Memetic Viruses. The type that drives viewers insane.

Synbios

Update: Things have taken a turn for the worse. 

Context: Upon completion of my eight-hour work load, I am required to take human transport - apparently, something is preventing me from simply folding space so that I can be at home. Thusly, I am required to take a jeepney, ride two light-rail transits, a bus and another jeepney home. Therein lies a problem: Calculation of my monetary possessions reveals that I am two coins short of the required eight needed for my first jeepney ride. I had thought of changing some of my paper currency at a nearby human convenience 'place-of-small-transactions', or store, but that would severely disrupt the balance of my coin:paper currency ratio, which was bad for mental stability.

Said female co-worker suddenly approaches me as I was calculating my monetary possessions outside of the office. After determining my problem, she then offers two coins to complete my calculation. Naturally suspecting a trap to assassinate me, I declined as politely as possible, trying to avoid betraying fear or suspicion. She merely smiled, and forced the coins on my human-disguised hands even though I had insisted on just changing my paper currency at the 'store'.

See, this is a classic example of debt-trapping: By placing myself under debt with her, she can use the loan of the two coins as leverage against me. Thusly, I chanted the magic words that would put up a temporary shield against said trap: "I'll pay you those two coins tomorrow!"

Now that I am back in the safety of my fortress, I am now scouring the area for the coinage needed to pay back my debt, lest I fall prey to some scheme of hers. Wish me luck, humans.

I also have no idea as to why this is a rave, but I figured that I'd have some semblance of continuity from my previous data entry. This post also gives reassurance that I am still alive, and not assassinated by a vengeful female human, out for blood at her university basketball team's defeat.

Wysteria

Came in to work late, only had three hours sleep, hadn't eaten anything in 18hours.

Team Leaders come round to my desk, I think, "Shit. Now I'm in trouble."

Got Employee of the Month. Again. Second time in 9 months. >_>

Amunet

So, I was whining to my sister last night about the lack of job opportunities in Spokane, and she was like, "Well, the Value Village over here in Burien is hiring, so I bet my old store is, too." I went in today, out of desperation, and, lo and behold, they were. My sister was well-loved in that store, and all of the employees are awesome, so I'm hoping I get a call back - the store manager was out to lunch when I put in the application, so I gave it to the ASM. Obviously, I put down my sister and a number of employees I know as references.

I returned home, and immediately got a phone call for a position at Macy's for which I applied a while back - another friend's old job, actually. It seems that said friend really talked me up to his old boss, so I'm hoping my interview will live up to their expectations. It's Monday morning, first thing.

Good luck with your job application. Kudos for having a sister who looks out for you!

Berenene

Best of luck @Amunet.

Alcinae

Best of luck!

Kyriella

Sent in my signed lease for the little studio apartment I'll be living in for the next year today! It's not perfect, but I am so so SO glad to know where I'll be living come the end of August. Hurray for not being homeless in Boston!

Erasariel

There's an agree button! Didn't see that today.

Eiredhel

My ex-boyfriend. For still being my best friend and letting us do what's best for us short-term and long-term. 

Maybe we'll get back together one day and end up married, or who knows, maybe we'll live lives never really interacting with each other again. 

We learned a lot from each other, and it was worth it.

Now I just have to remember to NEVER let another man talk me into dating, because I never wanted to date in the first place < WHOO SINGLE LIFE!
