I'm going to hate mornings!

Well, I did actually land the job I interviewed for. I learned about it when I was riding on the bus, so I stopped by my old work place to tell the news. My references told me that the interviewers said I was really prepared and wondered how long I'd worked there since I knew so much. And they still miss me at the old place b/c they still haven't been able to replace the amount of stuff I did. Yah, I was so happy, it was neat. And it's for the indeterminate position, so as long as I make it past probation, I'll be set for life.

Although since I'm a night-owl, and it's gotten worse since I only have to get up in time to watch Electric Playground (on at 12:30p), trying to get up at 6:00a to make sure I catch the bus at 7:00a is going to totally suck. It's mostly b/c of the bus schedule. The route that I could take which would only about 30 min, would get me there either 25 min early or 5 min late. Yeah. So I have to instead catch a different bus would is a 20 min bus ride itself, coupled with a 20 min train ride. And that would get me there about 5 min early. Yeah, it's super-stupid. If I had a car, well actually if my dad would let me drive his car, it's probably only take about 20 min. And I don't think I'd have to pay for parking either. And this is why people prefer to drive instead of using public transit. Oh and the Transit Trip planner thing isn't working either right now. Just peachy.

Anyways, so I've been catching up on my comics. It looks like I basically stopped reading my comics about 7 months. So for a lot of the events I missed the hype. And all the Colbert '08 election in the comics. *sigh* Some comics like Hellblazer was 28 issues unread. But I'm finding with all my reading material, I like to read more than 1 chapter at once. So I have Shojo Beat which is a bit behind (which sucks for missing some contests), and even tankoubons of various manga. Yes, I'm one of those people who just need to know what happens next. Which hilariously enough, means I'll leave stuff unread for months or years (Monster, Bastard, Law of Ueki, Cantarella, Trigun). The exception for this would be InuYasha b/c I saw the English-dub on YTV, and the anime follows the manga very closely. So for that, I just left it so that I'd forget the finer details of the story. Although with Trigun, I left that alone for a while b/c I was bitter at what Nightow-san was doing w/ Legato. Yes, I'm a Legato fan b/c Seki-sama played him in the anime. But Legato's back, and fully mobile and psychotic as ever. Though I'm very sad that Wolfwood is gone. Made me cry.
