I'm about to start reading the Percy Jackson series.

I am very shy. Have been my whole life, and as a few people have said some people have mistaken my shyness as arrogance.
It takes a long time for me to become comfortable enough with someone to really be "me" with them. But, once I know people well enough I can be downright boisterous.

If I get one, it'll be the PS4. While I'd never had a problem with Microsoft before, the crap they tried to pull with the XBox One before put me off of them forever. Big Brother in console form? No thanks.

I just saw an undercover documentary last week about people working in the Amazon dispatch centres. Made to walk round pushing heavy trolleys for ten hours, expected to pick an item every twenty seconds or something, sometimes in the dark when the lights went out. The undercover reporter's feet were covered in blisters and he was absolutely exhausted. He had one of those pedometers? on and walked ten and a half miles in one shift. There were supervisors on his back all the time to speed up too.
I think they sack people all the time if it's any consolation, because they seem to require some kind of superhuman athletes.
That's pretty much what it was like for me. Just a bit less walking. By the end of it on the first day was I dehydrated and borderline incoherent. I could feel blisters rising up on my feet, my back felt like it was on fire, and my knees hurt. All together I could barely walk when the shift was over. (This was all probably due more to my prodigious fat-stores than the difficulty of the work...but I feel that the workers should have at least been provided with a water cooler that wasn't half a mile away...).

I hope the eighty or so dollars I should actually be paid shows up in my account in time for it to help me with Holiday shopping. I'm going to try and knock all of mine out this Friday (I haven't started yet. Procrastinators UNITE!! Tomorrow...)

And lost it in record time. Couldn't handle the work and was too far under production, they told me to leave yesterday. At least I'll have some extra money for Christmas shopping.

Especially if you're straight, the last time I looked at Grommr's sign up page listing your sexuality as straight wasn't even an option.

Gainfully employed.
I got the seasonal position at the Ebay distribution center. I start today at 4pm. That'll be a bonus for my Christmas Present fund, a detractor for my sleep since it's 2nd shift which basically means I'll still be able to substitute. But anyway the supplemental income will be nice. Hopefully I'll get the weekend off.
