   Bleh...
The weekend is way too freaking short. Like, seriously.

Well, I got to work on Monday to find that my boss had to go work at another store because the manager there decided they wanted to quit. Meaning, that being the assistant manager/manager in training of my store, I got to take over for her for the day.

'Course, this is what I'm training to do eventually, so it wasn't like I couldn't do it. It was just very tiring. To top it off, we were supposed to have a meeting with all of our employees that day, and since my boss didn't leave any kind of guideline for what we were actually supposed to do during said meeting, I had to call everyone to let them know that the meeting was being postponed. This had to be done during the middle of lunch rush, so I had to literally run back and forth from the register to the phone in the back room until I had called everyone.

All in all, the day wasn't really that hard, but I collapsed into bed the moment I got home (which was only like, 4 PM). Aside from watching a bit of HunterXHunter and napping, I didn't do too much else yesterday. o_o

Today was less tiring, but still stressful. Tuesdays are when we're supposed to get our orders in to the supply company so that they can deliver to us the next day. Usually, Tuesdays are slow and easy, so we can get the order form filled out quickly and in before 12, when it's due. Today was a bit busier than normal, though, and by the time we slowed down enough to do our counts, it was after 1 PM, and the supply company was calling up demanding we give them the order. I rushed to get it filled out while my boss fought with the company over the phone, and we got it in before they could get too angry over it.

With all of the paperwork that went with it though, I wound up not leaving work until an hour after I was supposed to get off. Oh well.

After getting home, I decided to be lazy again and lied in bed watching the rest of HunterXHunter. (Well, kinda the rest, I've gotten through the TV series and the first OAV so far, still getting the Greed Island arc)

I really like the series, but I'm liking the manga better than the anime so far. But then, that usually tends to happen, and I guess at least part of it in this case has something to do with them cutting half and re-arranging the rest of the Sky Tower arc, which ws one of my favorite parts in the manga.

Anywhoo, it's my current series of obsession at the moment. I love the characters (Kurapika and Hisoka in particular), and I like the humor in it as well, though the series gets significantly darker after the Hunter Exam arc.

Well, I have to be getting up at like, way too early tommorrow, cause I have to get inventory done at work, so sleep is needed.

Till next time,

   Post Numbah Twoooo~
Hi again.

As promised, my boyfriend and I went back out on a date tonight to try to do it right this time. =P

We went to a Mexican Grill called Qdoba's. The food there is fantastic. Their rice is made with cilantro and lime, and tastes really good. I had a steak fajita burrito, with grilled peppers, tomatoes and onions in it. That place is seriously like my favorite restaraunt now. I dunno if it's just a local chain or not, but if there are any in the area that you guys live I really suggest giving the place a shot. If you like Mexican food at all I'm sure you'll love it.

After that, we headed back out to the shopping center. It was pretty empty, seeing as it was around 9 PM on a Sunday and just about everything was closed, but we stopped into Starbucks and got some drinks for dessert. Then we walked down to the center of the mall, where there were some benches under lights, near a clock tower-ish thing. They had music playing and it was absolutely beautiful out. We relaxed there for a few minutes, just spending time together. It was wonderful.

Then we played each other at Tetris, and I kicked his butt. ^-^

We window shopped for a bit, then headed home together. It was just a really awesome night all around, and I'm looking forward to being able to do it again soon.

Till next time,

   Hi there!
Well, my first post here and stuff...

I'm not really sure what to put for this other than to just jump into it, so... okay then. n.n;;

Pretty decent day today, just kind of lazed around. My boyfriend, Len, and I went down to the shopping center earlier tonight to have dinner together, which was nice. It's a pretty new center, and it's set up beautifully, and there's usually a band or two playing at one of the restaraunts at night. The dinner had set kind of a romantic mood, but unfortunately before we got to spend any more time after dinner together, he got a call from his work asking him to cover for a sick co-worker. Oh well, he's promised me we'll go back tommorrow to try again, so I'm looking forward to that.

As for right now, I'm helping a friend work on wallpapers, and playing Advance Wars : Dual Strike. More or less just trying to get the COs that I've already gotten unlocked leveled up so that I can get their new costumes. So yes, I'm playing as Sasha in the War Room at the moment, and totally kicking Drake's butt. Go me. n.n

So yes, as I'm looking at the clock now, it looks like uber-late o'clock has snuck up on me. Guess bedtime is in order soon.

Until next time,

~Tea
