Where's my hoverboard and self-lacing shoes?

[Goose]

Nike only made 1500 pairs of the MAG self-lacing shoes, and auctioned them all off for charity.

Hoverboards, I dunno, we kinda screwed the pooch on that one.

I came here to post about future day!

So we put in an app for an apartment. It's nice and what not. However, my soon to be roommate wants to move up there and veg for a month. Since he isn't going up there with a job or whatever that is bringing up some flags. He has a few months rent saved up and what not. So I'm not to worried about it. BUT at the same time. I don't want that to be the thing that fucks us over. I have to send them some sort transfer paper? Like saying I got a transfer? (I will be calling them up Monday. The HR person should be back then... And since I have put in for every job there, well most every job...) other wise I think we will have the apartment. I hope.

So I'm stressing out about that the transfer and moving out of my current place... WOOOHOOO

Also I have been looking at getting a new phone. Verizon at that. (My current phone provider doesn't work up in Seattle... US Cellular.) And I have been eyeing the Razr Maxx. However, the plans they have aren't cheap (or at lest compared to what I have now.) The phone is a nice one, and amazon has it for 200 bucks less then what I would buy if I got it from Verizon... (with two year plan)


Also the manager that is over my area and what not. Is well... A cunt. No one likes her much. Mostly cuz she has zero idea how to do her job. and has the people skills of a dead fish. However today, she showed that she was human. I was impressed... Just a bit... But still impressed.

[Aaron]

Got my new phone. It's slick and sexy, and a bit bigger then my current phone. (which is nice since I have big hands...) I ordered a case for it and will get it tomorrow.

I called a Sam's Club that is close to my apartment today (Seattle.) It's on a hiring freeze... So I'm gona call up Costcos tomorrow (there are two of them) and see what they say...

[Aaron]

Talked to the ladies in personal today (more or less HR.) And told them about the transfer issues I'm having. AKA them telling me to call like a week before I want to start. SO they are working on it now, I also told them that I needed the letter of transfer for the apartment...


I'm about to put an app in for fish processing on the ships out at sea. You can make hella cash, but work 16-18 hour days (if there is fish to process. Other wise not many hours at all.) I have found two different companies, one charges 10 bucks a day for room and board, the other company doesn't charge (and you get laundry once a week to.) But ya. I'm gona put in apps for both. I'm not sure I like the idea of being gone for a few months with only snail mail for communication... BUT the amount of money you can make. Guh. Not sure I want to, but at the same time I do...

[r00]

Congrats Aaron and threat!

Aaron, I think think that is so fucking cool that you are apping for a fishing boat job.  Very adventurous!

[Aaron]

Thanks r00. I haven't put in my app for the ships yet (still not really sure about it... ) I have done on land and in Seattle though.  Right now I'm still stressing about the transfer. While I will get a better job once I'm up there, right now I NEED a job to go to up there. And the main HR lady said she would call the store manager Monday if she doesn't get anyone today...

Off to look at houses #4 and #5 sometime this weekend. I'm kind of shitting bricks right now because these houses are slightly out of my price range, and if I end up liking one of them I don't know how low I can negotiate without insulting the seller and not having my mortgage be more than I can afford. I just want this stress over with already.

'grats, Threat! I bet it'll be fun time when they get there. Good roomies = good times.

Aaron, that's hella cool. Good luck if you pursue the fishing option. Costco isn't a terrible place to work either from what I hear (I had a friend who got offered nearly $10/hr to start, but I think that was because he had prior experience... which you do, so maybe there's hope in that department).

Videodrone--that's really awesome. I know a lot of people ask for a high starting price because they know buyers will talk them down quite a bit, so I'm sure you can barter your way into something more in your price range. You can do it!

if the housing market is anything like it is here where you are (ie: incredibly difficult to sell) there is no way you are going to offend the seller. When we bought our current place we had an awesome realtor that laughed at what we were going to start offering at, convinced us to offer significantly less and ended up having the seller counter offer less than what we were originally willing to pay! (did that make sense?)
anyway good luck!

[videodrone]

Thanks! And yeah, it made sense. This whole process is still all so new to me and luckily I'm working with a realtor that has the patience of a saint and isn't looking for a quick way to line his pockets with a commission. My appointments are tomorrow morning so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks IZ.

Drone, good luck with the place!

Monday I find out about my transfer for sure. I really need it to go through. Then after that it's smooth selling (once I get up there I will have to budget a lot more then now. Hell I don't really have to budget really. SO that will be a change. I for see a lot of potatoes being eating soon. And canned tuna.) Either way, I have been stressing out about it a lot...

Also I love that Seattle has been about 20F cooler then here (about 10ish C) EITHER way, cooler. However it's not as cold in the winter so that kinda sucks, but our power bill will be cheap. (I didn't use my heater at all, and it was a lot colder here then there.) I will also have to invest in a nice rain coat.


Also the whole moving thing seems surreal. Working there for six years (September will be seven. Ya, it's as depressing as it sounds) and then leaving... Great times, but damn. Also gona miss my current roommate. I didn't know him well at the start (we work together, he needed new roommates, I needed to not live with my folks.) But next month a new game comes out for us to play and bs with each other about. SO we will still talk. Either way, I can't wait for the move. Scared as hell, but happy.

We got a new chick at work. Named Erin. Ya... There is three people in the same section of the store with the same name. (my roommate and I being them. ) And while she works, she is really whinny, REALLY whinny. However she called in sick today, so I won't have to deal with her again. My other coworker quit so I won't see her again. All in all work is going great. (Other then being the only person there on the weekend.)

AM I going to see you as the new greenhorn on Deadliest Catch?

[Aaron]

HAHAHAH Naw FUCK THAT SHIT!

No, the boat I would be on would be MASSIVE compared to those ones. They do everything on the ship. Catch process and store the fish all right there. They just have to go back to land to unload and refuel and what not.


Today, I should finally hear about my transfer the store up in Renton has been fucking around a lot. But today I should know. (A HUGE perk of the HR lady going to church with my mom.) Also last day at this walmart.  Either way, I have been stressing out about it for a long while...
