Holy shit, I really haven't updated in so long. I'll catch you up.
So, first of all, my working days were changed by my boss. Instead of working 5 hours on a day in the weekend, I now have to work 7.5 hours in total on Monday and Tuesday for the same pay. That day in the weekend was my favorite working day (read: the only day I kind of looked forward to working) because it was not too crowded in the store and we were with a small team and my coworkers that day were just really chill and fun to be around. Why did my boss change my days? Because I'm not "good enough in the position I was hired for" because I didn't guide a coworker that was constantly under SOMEONE ELSE'S supervision. It's all bullshit, of course. They just needed to get rid of someone on that team and who better to screw over than the new guy who you don't like, right? This weekend is the last weekend I work. From next week onwards I'll work four days in a row. The thought kind of makes me want to kill myself, but at least my contract ends in April, so after then I will be OUT of there. I can't fucking wait. I hate this damn company.
I also didn't go to the Christmas dinner from my work. My boss had peer-pressured me in the breakroom early on to sign up, but I crossed my name from the attendee list about a week beforehand, when I was alone in the breakroom. Luckily, no one asked questions. Honestly one of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I would've exploded.
The holidays were alright. Can't believe they're over already. Just about ready to get into the holiday spirit at this point. Oh well, same shit every year, LOL. I didn't really get up to anything during Christmas, just visited my grandmother with my mother, but on the 28th of December I had a holiday celebration with my comrades. It was super fun! My Secret Santa got me a NIN CD, Corpse Bride on DVD and some other movie I don't know on DVD, and Sam got me A Clockwork Orange (the book)! Awesome gifts. I also gave everyone at the party gifts, not just my Secret Santa. Not saying that to flex, but to let you know I spent about 3.5 hours sorting and wrapping gifts for everyone. x_x
The party itself was also just really fun. Sam got Yori this porn they've been joking about on DVD, and we put it on for a little bit, but some people didn't like that, so Sam, Yori and I will watch it together some other time to review it on Letterboxd, LOL. God, I hate porn. Also, I tried a sip of straight vodka because I was curious about the taste. Not recommended, LOL. It wasn't the worst thing I've ever drank, but it definitely isn't good. One more reason to not drink, I guess.
New Year's Eve was pretty nice too. Mother's boyfriend and his daughter came over and slept here, so we could spend the night together. We played board games and such. And I just like fireworks.
And then now it's 2025. Started off strong when I had work on the 2nd. So I work in a thrift store. Someone, for some reason, decided to donate a RAMMSTEIN DILDO. Apparently it was even slippery, but I didn't care to check that. Good God, who'd want to buy a dildo at a thrift store? WHO WOULD EVEN BRING THAT IN???
But that wasn't all, because that same day I bought a PlayStation 3 for 16 bucks and I've been really hyped about it. I've never been super interested in the console, per se, but I do really like the UI, and seeing some of the PS3 and PS2 games it supports is really exciting. And it even has trophies, just like my PS4, and they all sync on your PlayStation Network account and all. The controller that came with it doesn't seem to work, so I've just been using my PS4 controller. There was still a game in the console, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, so I played that for the first time yesterday and the console plays great! Afterwards, I went to some thrift stores and such and I found out that one store has quite a lot of PS3 games, so I bought Minecraft and Watch Dogs for the PS3 and I intended to just play Minecraft for a little bit today, but I played it for HOURS. It's been so long since I've played Minecraft...
In other news, I now have a new psychologist and she seems nice, and I have decided on which study I first want to follow at university (American Studies), so I've got that going for me. Also, my one year anniversary with Ad is coming up this month... Insane...
Now you're all caught up. Happy new year, or whatever floats your boat.
