Oct 22 Who shot that arrow in your throat, who missed the Crimson Apple? [ ] [ mood | yayayayaya. ] [ music | Marvelous Things - Eisley ] I love the Hush Sound! They are so awesome, I don't care what you people think! Yes I've been lazy with LJ lately, and to be frank, I don't care, and to be HONEST, it feels awesome to get away from the net. I sleep better and longer, I have the energy to do more and do a lot of homework I didn't do before. I love it! I've just been working and studying for exams which I have in a month... great. Other than that... I've been doing nothing! :) I'll update tomorrow, I promise hehe. <3 2

Oct 09 Job Contemplation [ ] [ mood | happyyyyy ] [ music | Weight of the World - Evanescence ] Okay, so today I was shopping with my sister and came across a place that is in need of casual staff for the busy christmas period. I currently have a job at Target, which is owned by Coles Myer, the biggest retail corporation/business in Australia. It's a big store, with a lot of people, and I love everything about it except for senior management. They screw with your hours and things like that. for example, I'm usually the one to cover the other people's butts when they pull a sickie for work or ask for days off. There's about 4 people trained to work in my department. My department is Home Entertainment, so basically it's everything from sound systems, MP3 players, digital cameras, music, DVD's etc etc. It's a great job and you don't really get bored. I alternate between the front registers as well as there's the main front registers and then there' two registers at the back where I work (home ent) This other place I'm contemplating working at is called Sanity. It's a store which specialises in music and DVD's. It's really quite small, probably less that 1/20 the size of Target. The people there seem nice though... and it looks interesting. I'd have to get my application in before tomorrow is over and I'm pretty much guranteed the job. I've been at Target for a year now and I like it... the pay is good and all... but I dunno... I don't know if I want a change or not. What's your opinions? Do you reckon I should go with 2 jobs and alternate between, stick with Target, or change to Sanity? 2

Oct 07 Work & difficult customers [ ] [ mood | tireeeeeeeeeeeeeed ] [ music | State Of Emergency - The Living End ] I had to work all day today, 8.30 am to 5 pm, I've had 3 hours sleep yet I still feel somewhat lively and suprisingly alert... work was steady... it peaked around midday, then went downhill, was one of the busiest Saturdays I've had so far. There's some customers that jsut know how to push your buttons. What people don't realise when they choose to hurl verbal abuse at the retail assistants is that 90% of the time the problem can either be solved from a) patience, or b) accepting the fact that it's not actually our fault and nothing can be done about it. Then you have the rude people who make your job hard by acting like they are the only people in the store who need attention. Things like huffing and puffing, while also making snide comments under their breath just bring down the morale, as well as making us feel like crap. It's not on and it's unfair that we can't say anything back because the company would suffer. Justice is certainly unjust. Today I realised that I actually despise my store's management and how they act superiorly and talk to the normal staff in a condescending way. The only reason I like my job is because of the people, the pay and the easy work. You never know, maybe I'll find a job that encompasses ALL of the things I desire to make a job 100% enjoyable. :] Of course customers also play a part... Might be going out tonight... remember I've had 3 hours of sleep so I'm not feeling totally up to scratch, but it's my friend's birthday party and I guess I have to make an appearance. :) We'll see how tonight goes. Tomorrow afternoon I'm trekking up to Perth again since I should savour the opportunities to actually see my friends during the school break. I have 2 essays, a human biol essay and a major research history essay to focus on. >_< Fat chance of that happening. ;) Oh, I also need lots more music. Recommend me, k? <3 2

Oct 05 When a bird poos on you... [ ] On the weekend I had the pleasure of being pooped on by a very elusive and mysterious bird. I didn't realise it until I felt the bottom of my hoody and felt something wet. This was in a store by the way. I looked at it... and was disgusted. I rushed to the toilets... and began to wash it off. As funny and as peculiar you think this may be (or me after reading this), I started to question why bird poo always has a dark-ish centre and white around the outside... for example, when you are in a city infested by the likes of pigeons and seagulls, you see it everywhere. Why though, is it dark in the centre and white around the edges? I've been researching, and have thus not reached any conclusive answers... ...what is the reason for this?! Someone, please explain! http://www.red-top.com/files/nosterud/01.jpg This is what I mean. There are dark and white parts of the faeces... but what are they?! How does it happen?! Obviously this sample has been altered due to smearing and such, but the same conundrum stands. HOW IS THIS SO?! 2
