JetBlue News

For those of you who keep up with my Facebook posts, I mentioned that my JetBlue interview had gone very well. It was quite a fun experience (despite having to fly all the way to New York), and the recruiters were all very nice. I felt confident that I did a great job and gave it my all. However, even though I know I did my best, I still didn't allow myself to get my hopes up too much for the job, in order to protect myself from being hurt if it didn't work out. That ended up being for the best, because I just got the email yesterday that I was not chosen. The email basically said "You are super awesome and super qualified, but we picked someone else". It kinda made it seem like I'm too good for them or something, haha. I was excited about the idea of being a flight attendant, but I'm really not upset or anything. My mom seems to be way more upset than I am! I only feel sad for the JetBlue passengers who won't get to experience the joy of having me serve them snacks and drinks and such. It's truly a tragedy! :P

Since that job fell through, I plan to put my full effort into starting an online store. I plan to sell charms, t-shirts, art prints, and other fun stuff, both video game-related and not. If there's anything you guys would like to see on a charm or shirt or poster, feel free to mention it and I might make it!

To anyone who watches my Steam activity, you probably think I've been playing tons of Skyrim. Well, that's been my boyfriend playing it, not me. He doesn't have a Steam account, so I bought the game on my account for him to play it. I'll probably play it eventually after he's all done with it. I still need to finish Arkham Asylum, myself.

I went to a Random Encounter and Protomen show last night. It was a blast, as usual. Tons of my friends were there, and it was awesome hanging with them all. Random Encounter keeps getting better every time I see them, and this was probably my favorite Protomen performance I've seen yet. Since the crowds for the Protomen always pump their fists throughout the entire show, I decided to bring my boxing nun puppet to poke fun at their fist pumping. Here's a photo of me with her:

Derp.

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.

Hi

I love League of Legends :D
