It&#8217;s like Tetris in real life, seriously.)<br \/>\n4) GETTING MONEYS.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m really enjoying it, and I actually like the hours. Working late, not dealing with customers, just doing my thing for 4 hours surrounded by food , talking to coworkers, and listening to music, is quite a lot of fun. And of course, it&#8217;s much easier to do this than sitting and designing websites, in that I don&#8217;t get distracted at all.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m working with <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~agtmadcat\">Simeon,<\/a> and this guy Nick, who I&#8217;ve known from Jew school, and a few other events. But Nick broke his toe working today, and in the process, dropped a stack of boxes of wine bottles. Poor guy. :\\<br \/>\nI&#8217;m still pretty bored during the day, but I&#8217;ve actually been CALLED UP AND OFFERED WORK (instead of the other way around) due to my resume being posted on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.craigslist.com\">craigslist<\/a>. I&#8217;m being considered for the position of e-newsletter creator for a San Rafael-based insurance company. That would be really great, since it exercises my skills, pays well (although I&#8217;d only be doing it a few days a month for each issue), and I&#8217;ve made e-newsletters in the past for school-related stuff. So yeah, I hope that goes through!<br \/>\nI also have the opportunity to come to a SEGA Sports office in San Rafael to do game testing for $10 an hour&#8230; but&#8230; I know nothing of sports. :\\ I&#8217;m not sure if they&#8217;d have me testing whether the AI is following the rules of the game or something, or whether it&#8217;s just troubleshooting bugs in general&#8230; because if it was the former, I&#8217;d be screwed. I guess I should call in to schedule an interview anyway.<br \/>\nWent to see Napoleon Dynamite with <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~captaincanada\">James<\/a> and <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.livejournal.com\/~bouncyfish\">Bryan<\/a> today, even though they&#8217;d already seen it. Good thing they enjoyed it even more the second time! I thought it was great, too. The main character is a PERFECT hybrid of my former roommate&#8217;s appearance, demeanor, and interests, and James&#8217;s rise to stardom. Yes!<br \/>\nMy parents are away this weekend, and have left me to take care of the pets. Even more reason to leave the house, woo-ee!<br \/>\nAnd also, at this point, I see no way of selling FFXI legitimately, so um&#8230; does anyone want it for FREE before I break the law and try selling him on eBay or something stupid like that? :\\<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working at Trader Joe&#8217;s accomplishes these things: 1) daily workout quota 2) socialization with a wide variety of kinds of people 3) having *fun* opening boxes, categorizing food items and making them presentable (I used to do it when my mom was shopping.
