'Sup, You...

I've realised that I'm really, really bad at remembering names.

So I've been working at my new job for a good two weeks now, I feel like I've settled quite well. It's a great bunch of people I'm working with - vibrant, friendly, enthusiastic bunch. Me likes. However, I have failed to remember most of their names, and I feel so horrible about it.

The first day I started, it seemed that everyone knew who I was. Like, everyone knew my name and stuff. They even were starting to do Juan jokes - as in Juan, two, three... or something along those lines. Actually, the following seems pretty much a good example of what happens.

Workmate: JUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAN!
me: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!
(blank stare, trying not to blatantly look at their name tag, then proceed to walk away, puzzled)

Sure, I know some of them already, but I'd say 20% of people who work there I know of their names. I'm terrible.

So, I've set myself a goal for the week - that is to know each and every one of them prior to the end of this week. I will write all their names up on this here blog even, so watch this space.

And That's The End of That Chapter

So after three and a half years of working at the same place, I've now left to do other things. Saturday was my last shift in fact, so it's come and past and I have since started my new job.

What surprised me most on that last day was how un-emotional that day was for me. It was just like another day - started off like one, ended like one. Except only major difference was that I did some hardcore photo whoring after close, which of course I never do usually.

But I leave that job with no ill feelings or regrets, but I do leave with good mates and thats a major bonus.

To those I've worked with : Paul R., Pouya, Nathan, Jay, Tom, Ed, Brad, Little Nathan, Andrew, Kris, Steven, Larry, Dan, Parrish, Jason, Farzan - thank you for the experience.

To those I leave behind: Algie, Enoch, Josh, Kim V., Kim H., Aaron, Nigel - much love. Don't forget, I haven't died or anything so don't forget to invite me to them damn poker/ mafia nights okay? And keep going strong, I'm still here if you guys need anything.




Some guys at work put together this lame ass video of my leaving. It's extremely corny but I appreciate it so much - thank you! This vid is so lame that it's so funny - what's the name of the song? It says "Jesus" in it - is this song one of those christian songs? Geez...



HAHAHAHA

It's too late to apologize, it's too laaaaaaate

See that up there? In the blue shirt, that is I. I went to the Maroon 5/ OneRepublic concert at the Acer on Friday night.

Two words: Fricken Ace.

I had so much fun, I was going hardcore in my seat just dancing and singing rather badly - and no one heard because the music was damn loud. But it was fun!

Maroon 5 were awesome - but I was really excited seeing OneRepublic on stage. I've been following the lead singer, Ryan Tedder for quite some time. His song 'The Look' is one of my favourites.



LOL at the NSync dude. He looks like he wants him. So bad.

Okay, there are two things that I like - singing; and foreigners. Now when you combine them both, you get funny time!

This song is way too damn catchy. I sing it all the time, even with the made up subtitles. But is way hilarious, so please, respect the caviar. LOL

Be sure to check out some of the other vids made by this 'Buffalax' on youtube - particularly the Indian Bollywood ones. Hilarious!

ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, HEY!

So, something happened to me the other day...

So I applied for a job for Apple about a month ago. Days, weeks and a month or so has passed and began to think that nothing was going to eventuate from it so I let it go.

Now, at my current job, I'm hardly getting enough hours as it is to get by - damn bills and stuff is absolutely killing me. So I consider about getting another casual job to get me by.

So, I get a phone call from a mate that works at an electronic entertainment store close by to my house, and so he tells me that there's a place for me over there and that there are ample hours for me to use up. I tell him that I'll have a think about it and took about two weeks to deliberate.

Sum it up short, I'm now leaving my current job to now work at this other place. Now, I call my friend up on Tuesday, after much deliberation to tell him that I'm accepting the offer. I've also called my current boss to tell him that this is my last week working at that place - which was pretty hard, considering I've been working there for three and a half years.

Soon after this all happens, I get an anonymous call on my mobile. I answer it and of course, it was none other than Apple, well at least the people responsible for recruiting for Apple and they proceed to interview me over the phone. Twenty minutes later, they tell me that I've progressed through to the second round. I felt like one of those people who audition for Idol and get through to Hollywood/Sydney - sans a golden ticket.

I'm way excited, the second round of interviews happen next week. I don't know how far I go, but hopefully I'll get it. Thing is, if I do get it, what the hell do I do with this new job I'm starting next week? I'd feel so bad if I'm like, the guy who stayed there for a few days/weeks and left.
