   Interview yesterday!

Go me; I had my interview yesterday for the manger of my shop. I wasn’t nervous until I met the person having an interview before me. They where applying for a manger role same as me but in a different branch. The person before me had made a presentation... it had all kinds of different figures and crap in it... But in the end I thought hey I'm gonna go there and be me, this is what your gonna get if I get the job. Not the best idea I know but screw it. So yeah, they left me there to fill in 3 questions. 1 and 2 were maths, so I done them with no problem. The next bit was about making an action plan to make the shop hit target, what I would do, is it measurable, is it realistic. All that old cobblers. After that, they asked the usual interview questions, and of course I being Mr prepared, I didn’t have a clue. But they told me I gave the exact text book correct answer on what to do if I caught a member of staff stealing. ^_^... No I didn’t say beat the hell out of him and throw his corpse to the dogs... I was thinking that but didn’t say it ^_^ So after all that I headed home, later than usual and travelling further than usual. This morning I when to use my phone and noticed it was switched off... then it struck me ohhhh yeah I turned it off for the interview and never even thought to turn it back on... when I did I found I had 4 missed calls. It’s rare that I get a call, then I thought... oh yeah I was meant to go to the pub yesterday... then the numbers that called me made sense... Opps... with all the excitement and knackering interview stuff I totally forgot... which is not like me at all. Oh well, I'm meeting them all on Sunday anyway so I’m sure it doesn’t matter too much. Working tomorrow... Saturdays always annoying... I must remember to bring in advent children for my part timer to borrow. Until later my friends, farewell!

   Manga shop and such other delights

Hi all! The trip to the Manga store was really good; they had such a range of tittles I could have spent all day just staring at them all! In the end I got the Rurouni Kenshin Manga’s. I have still gotta start reading them. I have never seen the show before so I decided to buy something totally new to me; I have heard that it is good so I’m looking forward to reading it. Sunday was my Granddads birthday; he was 70, exactly 50 years older than me… well not to the day of course. So we went round to see him and had some drinks down the pub, then had some food back at the Grandparents place. So Sunday was good. I have a day off tomorrow, which is meant to be the hottest day of the year over here in Merry Olde England, well in fact its meant to be the hottest day in recorded history for England… AHHH Crispy me… I guess I’m staying inside where I can chill out with a cold drink. I think I might start reading Kenshin tomorrow, and then continue playing Dragon Quest. On Thursday I have to travel to a different shop again, but this time its for an interview to officially become the retail manager of my shop. I have been doing the work of a manger for quiet a while now, but from 1st of August I will be officially be the manager. They are trying to put some fear in me by saying that interview will be hard… meh if they don’t want me to have the job then why did they leave me in charge for the past month? So yeah I know I have the job, I’m just gonna argue for more pay. I need more money I’m broke! ^_^ Well see ya later ^_^

   Wow such a busy week.

This week has just seemed to have gone past with the speed of an out of control fat guy rolling down a hill... get up Wheeler you look foolish! Anyway well I have been having really good fun the past few days, getting to know new people on here and work has been quite relaxing. Today has been a bitch of a day... there really is no other way to say it. First of all I thought I was gonna have to spend the day with the regional Manager guy and discuss strategy and plans and other boring junk. But that was cut short, so I was thinking 'brilliant I can relax again'... but oh how I was wrong. I had moody customer after moody customer either phoning up or coming in and complaining to be about stuff I can't do anything about! Then I had sales people call me and try and sell me stuff... Why would I wanna buy an F-ing water cooler? Or a something I can't pronounce! Then what makes things worse? I get about 50 e-mails from the regional guy telling me to do stuff! But oh well at least I get tomorrow off, and with my nice Saturday off I'm heading to that Manga/Anime store that was closed on Sunday. Wanna come with jimmy? I'm bringing Wheem so we could make it 4 of us (hehehe cheaper parking lol). Then on the way back if I have any money left I'm gonna stop off in Makro which is a massive Cash n carry which only people with cards can get in, or people who are with people with cards can get in. I have a card so I'm gonna go and buy bulks of stuff like coke and other such goodies. Also when you buy in bulk you get it cheaper! Well that’s my day, hope you liked it and understood it, if not ask me via PM and I will try and explain even more (as if anyone really cares that much, come on lets be honest) Catch you all later!

   I'm back again ^_^

Wow it’s been another week since I last posted, I'm gonna try to post more often again, if anyone cares that is. Well what’s been going on... Oh yeah I worked on Saturday which was kinda crap, but the part timer who works on Saturday is cool, so we always have a laugh. He saw this site for the first time, and now he envies my DBZ collection! I never even knew he liked DBZ. So now I have Advent Pieces collection box that he wants, and of course DBZ! Mwhahahahaha how deliciously evil. Then on Sunday I went to see Pirates if the Caribbean 2. It was good, but not as good as the first. Then I went to see if the manga/anime shop was open, and Jimmy was right, it was closed... Damn you Jimmy!!! But that didn't stop me or Wheem001 from finding manga! We found some in a regular book store, I brought Vol 1 and 2 of Rurouni Kenshin and Wheem brought Vol 1 of Akira, that manga is massive! I have finished the B-day picture I was drawing for Mika-seguchi, I have posted it up for everyone to see. So if you have some time could everyone go and have a little look ^_^ It's a picture of Ed from Fullmetal Alchemist. A big thank you to everyone to goes and has a look ^_^ Click here to view Thanks! I'm off to visit sites now, I need to visit lots of people ^_^ See ya all later ^_^

   Such a busy week!

Hi all, I haven't posted in quite a while, I will be visiting sites after I have posted this so... yeah... Any who, the weekend was quite fun but the girls lied about what they was gonna wear!... of course that really didn't matter because I was going for the foam thing... yes everyone knows that... Well anyway England lost there match we played crap so we got knocked out. Then there was the BBQ lots of food and stuff which was fun, but then you always get the dick who annoyed everyone!... No it wasn't me! How dare you! It was this twat who thinks he knows everything about everything! Well anyway after the weekend, I started work once again as per usual. Only this time I had to drive about 25 miles to go to a meeting with the director. Of course I was late as I never have been the shop before. So I was let off. I have another meeting with him on Monday so this time I can't be late! Tuesday I had to rearrange the store to put new displays up. So that took all of my time. Yesterday I had a day off which was good but means I have to work Saturday U.U Well yesterday I went out and brought some clothes, most of which was for work T.T and a meeting diary thing which was for work. Now today I am working through some more tasks that I need to get done, but at some point I'm gonna go and get some food! I'm quite hungry. What shall I get? A baguette? Sandwich? Pizza? Pasty? I need some Ideas here people! ^_^ Well that’s been my week summed up in a few paragraphs. Oh yeah tonight I am going to the cinema to see a film, it isn't pirates of the Caribbean 2. Its something else. I'm gonna see Pirates on Sunday when I get to go to the manga shop as well! First time for everything. So how has your weeks been so far? See ya ^_^

   The Weekend is apon us...

Well its 12.23 and I'm still sporting a new look called 'why is my hangover still here?' Ok well yesterday I got a text message asking if I wanna go out for a sociable drink down the local public house, which of course I rarely refuse as everyone knows. Now I only brought 1 round for 7 of us... which means you have 7 drinks during then night... but before I knew it we had 11 people around the table... and of course the rules stand that the new people have to buy the next drinks. Fair rule I say. So I came into work this morning... and yay for me the Director decided to pay a visit... He hasn't come down in about 3 months... why today!! I needed my hangover cure but I couldn't leave while he was here. Anyway my cure consists of about 4 bottles of water some cheap 35p aspirins, and 2 very nicely cooked, Cornish made sausage rolls... Well I have just gone out and brought these items and they appear to be having a positive effect. ^_^ Well anyway whilst I was out in the public house, they decided that I have to go to a club today... I really wasn't that interested... but then they told me it was a foam party or something and if I agreed to go all the girls would wear white tops and black bra's... Well of course I agreed to go... not for the bra thing... the foam thing is what made me wanna go... Honest!... I'm not a perv... Where's my sunglasses and long trench coat... XD lol Well so that means I'm off out again tonight, and tomorrow is the next England game... I bet I have to drag the drunken carcass of my overly obsessed mate back to his house if we loose... Oh well Then Sunday I am going to a BBQ round a friend’s house. So I guess I will be drinking then as well. Hell yeah a great weekend, full of money spending... Lucky I won that cash or I would be left with nothing! Well on a slightly different note, I have started my picture and I am now on the colouring part. I dunno if the colours are gonna come out good on my scanner. But I won't get much done over this weekend it seems. Why am I always busy these days? I never used to be... I spent most of my time doing nothing but everyone seems to want me to go places at the moment. Well I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts I guess. lol Well see you all later I guess. Bye for now.

   Got some bargain stuff ^_^

Well yesterday I found some really good stuff ^^. I found a 90 piece art set with loads of colours in it and some are even water soluble colour pencils! Check me out I'm getting pro XD. Well that only cost £10! So I was really impressed. I have now started the picture for Mika, and yes Mika is Travis' sister Mari... It's for her birthday and even though I do hate him, Mika is really nice, which is why I'm drawing a picture for her ^_^ Anyway yeah the picture is of... (Drum roll)... Edward Elric, The Full Metal Alchemist! That was the only suggestion I got so I decided to draw him ^^. I just wanna say who decided to make his automail arm and leg so darn complicated! The guy must be a genius! Well that’s about it for now. See ya later!

   Gonna get to spend my prize money today ^_^

Well today is the first day I am not in by myself this week, so I'm gonna go out and have a look around. I'm not gonna just spend it on anything. I think I'm gonna buy some new stuff to draw the picture I meant to drawing for Mika. I still haven't got around to it yet! Sorry! I'm still not sure on what to draw, I think I'm gonna draw someone for either Trigun or Full Metal Alchemist. But I dunno which character. Mika doesn't have a preference on which character she wants me to draw so any suggestions from you guys will be great! Well I'm off to look at new black pens to out line my work and maybe some new coloured pencils to make it look good as most of mine are about 3CM long due to the year’s worth of use XD Well bye for now!

   Pub paid me for once!

Yep after we did that pod sketch thing (we being yours truly and Wheem001 aka Wheeler). We headed down to the pub to watch England scrape through to the last 8 of the world cup. But because there was only 1 goal scored in the 60th minute I won myself £90!! We each entered this competition, which cost £1 to enter and you drew a number from a hat and what ever number that was if the first or last goal is scored in the minute you win £45. Because it was a 1 goal match, I got the full £90! I'm such a lucky bastard at times ^_^
