Flight Attendant Interview!

Man, work is so dead right now that I'm updating my blog to pass the time. Speaking of which, here's my current work situation:

I have a face-to-face interview with JetBlue on November 3rd! I have to fly all the way to New York for it (on my own dime), so I really hope I get the job! (Also, I'm missing a concert I really wanted to go to because of it! :<) Since I'll have to travel for the interview, I decided to quit my new job that I just got. I only trained for two days, and I didn't want to waste their time and money by continuing training there when I'll probably be getting a new job soon. They said I can come back if I want to in the future, though, so that's awesome. For the time being, I'm going to continue working at Play N Trade until I get the flight attendant job. If I get it, I'll be starting in January!

I finally got to play a little bit of Arkham Asylum on my PC. It looks gorgeous! I am in love with that machine.

I went to a ska show last night, and I got knocked down flat on my butt since I was dancing right next to the mosh pit. It was pretty funny.

WHAAAT?!

So, something pretty ridiculous happened. You know how I just got a new job? Yeah, my first day of training was on Thursday. Well, guess what? The SAME DAY, I got an email from JetBlue THREE MONTHS after I applied to them! I qualified for a phone interview for the flight attendant job! Man, what timing. I just finished my automated phone interview a few minutes ago, so I've got my fingers crossed for that. If I get the flight attendant job, it's going to pay me more than my new job will, and for waaaay less hours worked, too! Plus, I'll get to travel all around for free and stuff! Here's hoping.

I went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios for the first time ever. It was pretty fun! I'm normally quite sick of Universal, but the way the park was all decorated made it cooler than it usually is. The lines for the haunted houses were way too long, though.

I've barely had any time to play with my new PC! *sob*

It's my mom's birthday! Happy birthday, Mama! I love youuuu!

PC IS READY! + other important news

I'm posting from my new PC! Yep, after close to a year of planning to build one, it's finally done. I'm super excited to start playing a bunch of games on it. I'll be doing lots of streaming and posting a ton of videos from now on, so be prepared for that! However, something did just happen that will cut back on my computer time.

....I got a new job! It's my first full time job ever, so I'm not quite sure what to think of it yet. It seems like it will be something I'll really enjoy, though (at least, I hope). I'm going in for training tomorrow, so I guess I'll find out then if I like it or not! I'll keep you folks posted. I'm a little sad to leave my old job, just because I've been there for so long, but it's time for something new.

The first game I plan to play is Arkham Asylum, since I've never played it, and I want to be ready for Arkham City. My graphics card came with a free copy of Arkham City, which is pretty awesome.

What games have you guys been playing?

PC is almost ready!

I have almost all of my PC parts purchased! The only thing that's left is the video card. I'm having the darndest time trying to pick between the GTX 560 Ti and the GTX 570. I'll probably make my decision within the next day or two. PC should be up and ready in about a week! Man, I can't believe I actually convinced myself to finally plop down all that money on PC parts. I'm extremely frugal, and I always save up my money like crazy, so this was painful for me. It needed to be done, though!

Kai is such a slob.
Hey, I need a new poll. Okay, now I have one. Also, you guys should join my chat.

Zombietoberfest and gaming PC!

Last night was the awesome Zombietoberfest! It was a lot of fun, and this year it was bigger than ever. The event started in 2009, and it's been really cool to see it growing a bit each year since. I just wore my L4D shirt again, and I brought Kai with me like I did last year. The best part, of course, was seeing Random Encounter perform. Those guys are getting really good. I'll probably upload some photos from the event if some good ones pop up.

I'm FINALLY building my gaming PC! I have almost everything I need for it, and I just need to order a couple more parts. So excited! I'll start doing a whole bunch of streaming and youtube videos and such after I have it.

I'm planning on moving as soon as I can, because I really wanna have my own place. I don't wanna deal with other people's messes anymore! :<

To help offset the big expenses of PC parts and moving costs, I'm going to be selling some stuff I have as a fundraiser. I dunno if it'll be anything you folks will be interested in, but I'll link to the auctions as soon as they're listed. I'll also have some super special, super limited Kilplix-related items! Keep your eye out for those.
