We had a sub today in PE.  I realized I'd never seen her before (our district doesn't have many subs), so I checked her lanyard for her name, which happened to be "Mrs. K. Ruel".  I almost died right there on the gym floor.

 

So, after all these years, we finally have a possibility of seeing "Queen K. Ruel?" That is just too strange though.

 

As for me, typical work is typical. God the other cart guy is such a freaking idiot. He left a bucket of dirty mop water just outside the men's room. Like seriously? And corporate was here today as well. Would have been the end of my boss if they saw it. But going back to the other cart guy, it's just sad he's so pathetically unreliable and every day he's getting worse. Now because this new girl started, he tries to get out of cleaning (since she kind of does that herself). Look, I'm not crazy about bathrooms either. But I'm not going to get into a pissy fit because I have to clean them. I just do them because if I don't, welcome back to Unemployment, population millions of Americans.

Lol Mrs. K. Ruel. I've been looking up a list of hilarious names, but that's gold.

So today was a pretty good birthday.  I got Tri Force Heroes, Xenoblade 3D, Splatoon, and my first amiibo, Bowser Jr. (I named my FP Looodwig, and he has already begun the kicking of my ass).  We went out to Red Lobster for a very tasty dinner, and really just chilled out the whole day.  Damn, it's nice to have your birthday on a national holiday.  I recommend trying it.

It sure is quiet around here. Is this a school/work day or something?

 

Anyway, I haven't been posting here as often as I should be because I've been doing some catching up at that Doom forum (which I cannot mention the name, nor post the link to due to one of their rules, which claims it would them a bad reputation) which I haven't been able to access (probably because my ISP blocked it) before I moved to the new house.

We started doing vectors and Parametric Functions in Precalculus. What fun, am I right?!  :tard:

To be honest I don't even remember what those are, despite learning them less than a year ago.  I'm taking AP (Advanced Placement) Calculus right now, and let me tell you, it is significantly easier than Pre-Calc, so don't worry too much about it.

I'm actually gonna be doing some Parametric Functions eventually in my Further Maths course. We'll probably just stick with simple parabolas though, but man, it looks like fun

 

Even worse that I JUST got used to complex numbers and numerical solutions of problems, so with all this new stuff, I'm gonna get rekt again lol

Late, but I had fun! It was a very memorable experience! I won some awards and had a blast!

I just got accepted to my first choice of college, and now I'm taking a nap because I had swim practice for three and a half hours this morning.

I'll be going to university eventually. Not sure what I wanna do though... Next year, for the time being, I'll be doing a sort of "in-between" thing called TAFE (Technical And Further Education) to complete my SACE (South Australia Certificate of Education).

 

In any case, I got my youth allowance! I get paid (quite a bit) a fortnight so long as I study or get a part-time job. I'll be looking into getting a part-time job. I promised to help my folks a bit with bills and such so a job could really help out. I'll be saving up since I'm not too interested in buying anything at the moment apart from a new headset.

Had quite a lesson in karma. Some nasty old lady today was like "I don't need your help. I'm not fucking helpless you know" when I was getting carts and offering to help her load her car. So guess what happened 20 minutes later when I had to get carts again? She was crying to me begging me to help her find her card that she lost. Maybe you shouldn't be so rude to a guy that's just trying to do his job? If you don't want his help, be like "No thank you, I'm fine". Let that be a lesson to you granny.

 

I don't know if it's just the holidays, but I've been getting extra stressed at work lately. I don't know how many times today I went "OHHHHHH!" out of pure frustration. Honestly, I bit my tongue so hard it may be gushing out blood at this point. It's hard to keep your cool when you have an idiot customer to deal with on top of your managers riding you and everyone else while they just stand around and do nothing productive, but heaven forbid you slow down at all! Honestly, if I wasn't afraid of losing my job, I would have happily opened verbal fire on some of the customers I had to deal with. Especially when I was called "rude" for trying to help someone load their car. To be honest, I guess I DID express myself a bit too loudly to one customer. She left her cart but ten steps from a cart corral. I walked away, saying "Are you fucking kidding me??" under my breath, but not low enough. Why? Because the lazy bitch went right back in the store and gave my manager hell for me saying that. So her laziness = my write-up? I know it's because I dropped the F-bomb, although "Are you kidding me" alone could have done it. Just adding the F-bomb was the nail in the coffin.

 

Is it a coincidence that I can't seem to keep emotionally stable anymore given all the stress at work because of Thanksgiving around the corner? I'm not as snippy at home though. But work just makes me cringe when I get dressed for it. I just know I'm bracing myself for a 6-7 hour marathon of every annoying thing a customer could do and having the patience to not say what I'm thinking and end up on another 6+ month job search.

Well, the inevitable has happened. My laptop is officially on its death bed. I'm getting a lot of bad lag, audio studdering during said lag and I have to push the power button a good 100 times or so while opening and closing it just to get it to turn on. Ugh. As much as I really do NOT want to use Windows 10, it doesn't look like I have any choice anymore. Spend several hundred to "fix" my laptop and have to buy a new one anyway, or spend several hundred on a new laptop without all these issues? It's like putting more money into a car that is pretty much a lost cause; you're going to have to replace it eventually, wasting all of the money you spent on the old one. I really, really do NOT want to have to do it, but I'm not going to find Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 in any store.

 

Honestly, my laptop was never really that good. Any game with HD graphics made it run like molasses (Intel HD Graphics Card lol). That and I'm sick of all the problems I'm having. The time has come. But I can't just get a Windows 10 after all the shitting on it that I did, can I?
