Waste of time

Current Mood:

So today was the last test not the last exam.. Those are next… :tired: The test was alright not too hard or easy. But what makes me angry is the part where after the test, I have to stay later in the school because my partner and I have to work on the same Java assignment that’s torturing both of us. It wasnt my idea to do this on a Friday night. I would rather do something more productive than do some stupid assignment on Friday. I suggested to him a day before that we work on it on Saturday the whole day because I know that we will get alot of things done. But since he has other things on Saturday then we’ll just do it on Friday night after the test where I am tired… :irked:

Unfortunately once we tried working on it, he didnt have alot of progress on the assignment. The file that I sent him to work on it was working fine… It was alot more progress that what he showed me tonight. I couldnt fix his file so I decided to work on my copy instead. Mind you this is both of our assignments but my copy was way better. Instead of working on it as a team, I had to work on it myself while he goes off and talks to his buddies. :sowhat: That didnt make me happy. I know I didnt contribute alot on this assignment but when I am, he goes off to lala land. So I left.. I didnt say bye to him or whatever.. Why would I want to stay if I’m just going to work on it alone? I dont care if I dont finish this assignment. I hate it. I am willing to risk losing that 10%.

Hard drive problems.

Current Mood:

Alright so I had a little scare tonight. To others this may sound real dumb but a power failure caused my computer’s hard drive to go all screwy on me. This means, when I turned the computer on again, it had an error ‘Failure to boot. Insert System Disk and press Enter’. :yikes: Of course, I freaked out since I didnt create a System Disk. I restared and rebooted the damn thing a million times and still it gave me that problem. I had called my cousin about it and said that he would help me out in a few minutes. So I just shut off the switch at the back. Unplugged the damn thing and restarted. Low and behold, Windows XP is running with that green bar going back and forth. :grin: Then it worked… I’m absolutely frazzled and happy it. Dont ask me what frazzled means. I just made it up. :embarass: Right so now I created a System Disk so next time this happens I dont freak out and cry…

And for those who are asking for the job, I’m an usher at a baseball game. The pay is $10. :grin:

Home Opener Blue Jays vs Red Sox

Current Mood:

I just got back from tonights work. It was my first baseball game ushering and all. I was pretty nervous coming to work since I have the power to kick people out and cut people off from alcohol if they get too rowdy and drunk. :???: I had to get used to it and stuff I may have sent one person on the wrong seat.. The supervisors placed me in the 114 section which is pretty close to the actual field (it is right next to the first base). I think they placed all newbie ushers in the 100 section to see if they can handle the home opener which is the busiest game in the Blue Jays season. If they can handle it then they can handle any game. I expected worse like bottles being broken and people hitting each other with it but tonight wasnt that bad. My section wasnt that bad either. There were instances where 2 group of people were sitting on the wrong seat so people had to ask us that there’s people in our seats can you kick them out? But other than those times its alright.

Some section were pretty crazy like people fighting, people were getting hit by items that people in the upper section were throwing. There was even a guy who ran across the field but the security caught him and the cops ended up arresting the guy. I think they may fine him $1000. :yikes: Right at the end my coworker told me that in normal nights , its not this crazy. It was only crazy because the Blue jays were against the Red Sox (Bosox). Some BJ fans were even making fun of them saying ‘Go back to Massachussets!!!”. Lol some fans are just plain hilarious. :lol:

Right at the end, a supervisor asked me ‘Are you coming back?’ I gave him a funny look like ‘why are you asking me that?’ Then I got what he was trying to say. Like am i coming back tomorrow or am i quitting because of this hectic crazy day? I said I was coming back and that it wasnt so bad. I heard from my coworkers that their section was crazier. I think I just got lucky.. For tonight.. They are still playing Bosox tomorrow and Sunday so the craziness might not end after all. Another crazy game is whenever NY Yankees comes to town. That should be interesting….

Levis Interview

Current Mood:

Alright so today I finished another exam. I also did another one yesterday which I totally screwed up over. :sad: Im just here sitting on the labs in school because I have a job interview with Levis. ;P Haha another job for me if I get this job. I gave in my resume last friday and didnt expect them to call. They had left a message in my cell which is never on…. Then when I turned it on, I was surprised that they had called me. I didnt know when they left the message so I was nervous on whether I should call them back. Thankfully the message wasnt there for a very long time. :embarass: So I have an interview at 1:30 pm today… If I get this job, it would be awesome. The usher thing is only temporary which means after Baseball season is done, I no longer work there. This Levis job, if I get it, is obviously permanent. I dont think it pays as much as Blue Jays but oh well.

Anyway that is it for now. I will let you know about the interview by the end of the day.

Went horrible. I wouldnt want anybody to work there… :snooty:

Work

Current Mood:

Im tired and I just got home from the game/work. For those who dont follow the MLB, we lost to the Yankees last night and tonight. Last nights score was pathetic (11 – 2) and tonight was still said ( 4 -3) but not as bad as last nights… I just wish that tomorrow we’ll beat Baltimore’s ass. ;P I never would have thought of liking baseball and actually follow their standings. I still havent seen any of them. Ive seen some Bosox and Yankee players walking around the stadium before the game. Last night I saw Jeter and Alex Rodriguez and tonight saw Hideki Matsui. Unfortunately we arent allowed to converse with them. If they say hi, we can say hi back and thats it. Let me tell you thought, Jeter in person is kinda cute… Too bad everyone hates him…. I still have the hots for Alex Rois of Blue Jays. He’s only 23… :cupid: Oh yeah the first pitch was done by Liam Aiken the actor that plays Klaus of A Series of Unfortunate Events.. He’s so cute too. :shy:

Saw my first Blue Jay

Current Mood:

I have a final this Thursday and I should be studying…. Why? Tuesday and Wednesday is baseball game (again :sowhat: ) and I dont get home until 12 am during those days.. So yeah today is my only day off until that horribly boring final on sociology. It’s all multiple choice though which I hope isnt too hard…

Oh yeah after work yesterday I saw my first Blue Jay player walking in the stadium to go home. :smile: I did the ‘double take’ look since I wasnt sure whether it was really Orlando Hudson. He was dressed in all white, baggy pants and sweater. As a person who works there, Im not allowed to talk to any Baseball players. If they say ‘hi’, I can say hi back not I cant have a full on conversation with them. I would if I was allowed but supervisors are always there so… I cant really do much.

Finished School

Current Mood:

I finally finished finals today… :sly: Im so happy and relieved that I dont have to deal with school for a few months. Suppose to work today but had a day off because of that sociology final. I didnt really study… :embarass: I kinda read through the chapters and sorta tried to remember the bold words and definitions.. I dont think I did too well on it. On the other hand, I got my essay back from that which I did with a partner. We got a 77% which isnt too bad. I didnt expect an A+ or anything since I know that Im not very good at writing essays (bad grammar… read the entries to see more bad grammar lol :lol: ).

Nothing much is going on besides all that crap. I have work next week which I believe is against White Sox. Oh yeah and at last nights game, I was booed. :lol: This stupid guy was cussing at the Tampa Bay players who was practicing in front of us. He was yelling and standing up so I ran down to get him and to tell him to sit. Then all of a sudden, I hear boos. I thought it was for the game but apparently it was for me since I told the guy to sit right before he was about to ‘moon’ them. :butthead: :irked: I could care less whether they boo me when I get home but if he had the chance to pull down his pants, he would get kicked out and I dont want that to happen. People pay to watch these games and I wouldnt want them to leave feeling all angry because they had been kicked out of the baseball game. Its okay to be angry because your team lost but any other reasons besides that is not a good reason to be kicked out. I want fans to have fun and you can boo and heckle to players telling them that they suck but pulling down your pants to moon isnt okay. :snooty:

Lost the damn charger

Current Mood:

Alright I might have to get a new cell phone. :sowhat: I really dont want to since I like being on pre-paid. I dont use the phone alot which is great and I hate getting monthly bills which is why I chose pre-paid. But I lost the charger so yeah. I cant use it since it’s low in battery… :sad: When it dies down, so will the minutes and then I’ll lose my phone for good. I also love the phone number. It’s so damn easy. I dont want to get a new phone since I would have to sign for a contract for 3 years and thats 3 years of monthly bills over $50. :weeping: I cant even pay for my tuition let alone a damn cellphone. Worse comes to worse, I wont get a cell phone at all and just rely on old school payphones… I dont mind that. Unless somebody wants to send me their used cell phone. :sad:
