What job is this now?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #876 on:** December 21, 2012, 02:04:04 AM »

Some sort of marketing management position at Airbnb. Big company and the benefits are kinda O_o for US standards, but I've no idea about actual pay or whatnot. I know the fact that Portuguese fluency being required for the position kinda -limits- the competition, but I honestly didn't expect to even get any sort of response, let alone this fast. >_>

Hooray! Snow is going to get a job in San Francisco and then we can be bffs forevah \o/

I am also bitterly amused that you are having better luck with job things than I am.

This has been two things in a row that have been "omg awesome, we totes love you!" and have turned into radio silence. This latest one utterly baffles me, and seems to boil down to how they didn't like how infrequently I followed up with them (I emailed them 3 times in 3 days...?) and that means bad things, but they were still going to call my references and at this point that was a week ago.

I told them in the beginning that I'm fine with vagueness, but the last thing I want is to feel like they're expecting something but won't tell me what. This feels so much like being in a relationship with a passive-aggressive, insecure 15-year-old girl who is "testing me" to see what I'll do. Fuck that.

Back to the job hunt.

You want Snow to get a job so you can have a gay best friend. In San Francisco.

I think we need to sit down and have a chat about getting out and meeting new people girl.

<Ashley> But meeting new people is hard.

End of the world going strong right here. Urgh.

Apparently the post office doesn't see the need to notify you when you have a signature-required piece of mail waiting for nearly a week. Or to put it in a place where anybody can find it when you ask if you have a package being held. Or note this fact in tracking. Or do anything else that would make them not deserve eternal launching.

What I'm trying to say is that I got 2nd OG. Yay?

How much did it cost you to import? I'm considering buying a PS3 while in the States, and if I do, 2OG is probably my highest-priority acquisition.

Shale · « **Reply #883 on:** December 21, 2012, 07:00:56 PM »

Eighty-some dollars for the Asia version on Play-Asia, with free shipping (although as you can see, I got what I paid for there).

Edit: I also have a $5 coupon that you're welcome to use, since I'm probably not buying anything else from them until the next PS3 SRW.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #884 on:** December 21, 2012, 07:18:02 PM »

That's at least 12 bucks on my end saved on that kind of travesty. Don't mind if I do.

Belated Congratulations!~ on interview, finally getting stuffs from post office and KIIIIIITTTTY!!! (I love the photo of her just chilling out and surveying the laptop!, and her fur looks so white/soft/such a bundle of fluff and kiiiiiitttty!)~

Also hope you're feeling better Ciatos~

Glad Ciato's card arrived safely, has any of my other stuff for peeps landed yet?

This week I received my beautiful card and message from Idun, my card and box from LD, I can has lots of chocolates and a nifty little SF keychain (my favourite is the different kinds of dark chocolate) and a gift box from the Ciatos and Idun (can't wait to open it on Christmas!) , plus another lovely message, I can has presents under my tree! Thank you all so much! Really appreciated ^__^~

Idun · « **Reply #886 on:** December 22, 2012, 12:04:56 AM »

Yay, glad you got it.

You have a kitty? Aw. Merry xmas ya'll (when it happens, I don't know what day it is next week).

Lady Door · « **Reply #887 on:** December 22, 2012, 02:27:40 AM »

She is the super cuddliest of kitties. Her fur is SO SOFT -- it just also sheds like crazy. She leaves fur imprints of herself on the furniture. D:

I am glad the chocolates made it to you more-or-less in one piece.

Merry Christmas!

Did a charity thing at the gym today, $20 to charity and you go for your personal best at stuff. I got 65kg Bench and 120kg Deadlift. Bench is weaksauce but such is life. Deadlift I tried 130 and was sad times, but could get it probably fresh and with a bit more training.

Happy to have gone in and done 60 on Bench and 100 on Deads, so that is okay. Charity makes it worth it.

Sent my online interview, had a haircut, picked up my suits and made a donation today. Guess it was a good kind of busy.

Idun · « **Reply #890 on:** December 24, 2012, 02:16:30 PM »

Got your package, CT! (:

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #891 on:** December 24, 2012, 02:29:10 PM »

Welp, Christmas eve. Time to head back home to take my clothes out from dryhanging so I can iron them.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #892 on:** December 25, 2012, 12:12:55 AM »

And then instead of ironing clothes I made Christmas dinner for myself. Nevermind!

Yoshiken · « **Reply #893 on:** December 25, 2012, 10:52:24 AM »

Spending Christmas morning alone in the house watching MtG streams and Pokemon speedruns.

Merry fucking Christmas, all.

CT, whose person's house did you set on fire, hmmmmmmm?

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #896 on:** December 25, 2012, 09:35:35 PM »

Probably that guy's over there >_> Nah, I should just send a Christmas message instead, I mean it is Christmas~

Too much excitement for CTs~

Urgh, so weird feeling hungover without actually drinking. Great times though. Some day. I'm all fizzled out. It's time for ... *passes torch on*

I fucking can't believe I'm packing tomorrow. Were it physically possible for me to hyperventilate, I'm pretty sure I'd be in perennial Jane Fonda mode right now.
