Even being DEAD doesn't get me out of the job.

Maybe I could find a way to make it work for me...

Heading out to my sister's wedding in a few minutes. Will be out of town for a few days. Don't do anything interesting until I get back.

Awww congrats to her

I swear every time I show up to Chinese class and the professor "surprises" the class with a movie day a little bit of me dies inside.

Funnily, I took the time to practice some kanji and she got mad at me for not paying attention to the movie.

I hate undergraduate classes sometimes.

In other news, it turns out I have no idea how to format an abstract in MLA style. Hooray for the internet!

Harry Dresdan, Professional Wizard gets no respect at the office.

Combining this fact with being hungry and tired, I am just one savage beating short of having a perfect costume.

Rock on. ^_^

At least you people get to wear fancy costumes on the job. *Grumble grumble.*

You say that like it's a good thing.

Granted, I did just see someone dressed as a headcrab zombie so there is that. However mostly it's just people wearing makeup and fatasses dressed like Naruto.

Halloween is not so fun sober. Or a god damn day early.

When my options are: a) go to work normally and work normally; or b) go to work in funny clothes, wearing funny make-up, walking around the office in a "costume parade" and eating candy? I go with B.

You say that like it's not an excuse to get hammered at commercial time and get away with it.

Naturally, us REAL americans have to work on Saturday and wear our costumes THEN. Bloody intellectuals.
(I has a costume. It's awesomely red neck and largely sponsored by Miller. I'll try and get a pic)

So, got the results from my exams back. One of them I did much better than I thought. The other one I did worse than I thought. I got (almost) the same grade on both. So right now I need to start putting together a bunch of presentations for the classes because right now I am on the borderline between good and being demoted to the Master's program. I think exams are the hardest parts of grad school so I'm not too worried, but it's still a little bit scary.

This week I've been trying to branch out. Went and had some Indian food with one of my Chinese friends, and then went with another of them to have some hot chocolate this morning. Making friends is kinda tough, especially when the people don't always understand what you are saying, but it was still fun.

Now to work on presentations and grading labs.

I saw a female pirate on the bus today. Only person that dressed up besides somebody wearing some sort of parka thing that had a wolf's head for a hood. Possible furry?

Cotigo · « **Reply #2937 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:48:28 PM »

Perhaps I'm a miserable little troll who finds things everyone else thinks are fun to be trite.

Or perhaps I'm just bitter that if I wore my costume around a day early nobody would think I'm dressed up (I am going as a Hipster.)

Or perhaps I'm really just traumatized by the terrible costumes I've seen people wearing.

Either way, bah humbug.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2938 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:50:14 PM »

All of the alternatives are correct. Either way, it sounds to me you need a drink stat, even though I know you have a few issues regarding -that-.

Bah, I give up. I'm hitting the bar this Saturday.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2939 on:** October 30, 2009, 09:55:00 PM »

Bah humbug is right. Fucking humans.

Shale · « **Reply #2940 on:** October 30, 2009, 10:08:14 PM »

I dressed up as a guy wearing a suit today. Whee.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2941 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:05:14 PM »

That's a difficult mental image.

Shale · « **Reply #2942 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:13:17 PM »

It's crucial to my next costume, Guy With A Stable Job.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2943 on:** October 30, 2009, 11:30:54 PM »

Point. How was the interview?

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #2944 on:** October 31, 2009, 02:56:14 AM »

Getting on a train in 3 hours to go to a Halloween party in the city. Halloween is awesome, I wish more people in Japan celebrated.

Oh well. At least by virtue of being a big scary white foreigner, I -already- draw stares like a costumed freak everyday here... Today I just get to pretend it's because of the costume instead. ^_^

It went pretty well. No job offer, but there's no job yet so that's to be expected. He seemed very favorable.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2946 on:** October 31, 2009, 03:15:21 AM »

Well yes. Here's hoping.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2947 on:** October 31, 2009, 03:29:58 AM »

Best of luck, Shale.

Pff. Abstract, written, sent in. Hopefully it's not to late. I should not be freaking out about this, but, well. Lessee... statement of purpose, refuses to come together. Rest of the JET application paralyzes me and for some reason just will not come together. Because now is the right time to be self sabotaging.

At least things will get a LOT easier for me after next week. ...Hopefully. I suddenly have a lot on my plate again. I guess that's what happens when you lose any will to work for two weeks. Ugh. I can deal with it. It is mostly just putting me in a foul mood and I am taking it out on all sorts of people that I shouldn't. This leads to feeling guilty and feeling worse. Which, in turn, et cetera et cetera, I should go get to work instead of whining on forums. So,

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #2948 on:** October 31, 2009, 05:31:41 AM »

I have definitely been going through that as of late. Been doing nothing and hanging around for days instead of getting things done, and now I am feeling bloody overwhelmed.

NotMiki · « **Reply #2949 on:** October 31, 2009, 05:56:55 AM »

Lunch yesterday was leftovers.

Specifically, the extra ground beef that needed to be used, bacon from breakfast the other day, sauteed mushrooms and onions from the previous night, that last bit of the block of cheddar, sliced tomato, and a spare quesadilla wrap.

Is this what winning at life feels like?
