Deadshift Chronicles #7

Well, back on the deadshift.... actually going on the third night tonight. And only slept 4 hours today :(  Reason being that my mum was not feeling very well, and even though I went to sleep, I woke up around lunch time to see that she was O.K. After that I did not go back to sleep again as I had to go and get her medication from the pharmacy and also do some hunting. Between that and meeting some friends, whom I have not seen in a while, well by the time I got home it was 21:30. Had a light dinner and headed to the deadshift.

But that's not the bad part, the bad part is that I do not feel like dealing with stupid people's shit or crap from other people because someone else did not do their job properly. In this case, there seem to be a problem with a reservation of a group of people that we have in the hotel and some one did not inform the persons involved. And some one decided not to show up, room cancellation, another person wanted to stay in that room, but that was canceled. The company was supposed to pay, but they wash their hands of the issue. Team leader comes to reception and is angry and demands to speak to the front desk manager on a Sunday morning. Amazing what just not informing the involved parts can get you.... and because of that me and my colleagues will have to hear some yelling. Stupid people, hope they get their shit together and learn how to communicate between themselves before yelling and shouting at other people who do not have anything to do with it and are just doing their job. So much technological advance and they cannot get their crap together... people...

The other day started to watch "Shingeki no Kyojin" (a.k.a Attack on Titan) anime series. It is quite interesting and entertaining, although there are some things in the plot that I find obvious or just pure meh. But it is still a good enough to jump my curiosity to start reading the manga comic, which at some point I will start to buy. At this moment, I finished watching the twelfth episode of the series. I look forward to watching the movie if they ever finish making it.

Also last night, watched the first episode of "Haven". Sadly this series has not been able to catch my interest. But as not to just put it in the discard pile, will watch the second episode...

...more next time...

Entry 03102103 // Bye bye summer

Well, some has come to an end. The weather is still warm, but there are clouds in the sky and it's supposed to rain all day today (still hasn't though).

Last night saw two movies: Pacific Rim and Monsters University.

To tell you the truth, expected a bit more from Monsters University... a bit more comedy and less predictability in the plot, but all together it was an interesting movie. Pacific Rim on the other had could've been way better than it actually was. There are somethings that didn't make sense in the movie as well as the level of predictability in the ending. Apparently they are working on the sequel, so that might actually be more interesting than the first one if they do it properly. I was sort of disappointed that there was no Japanese Jaeger as this mecha-giant monster movie is quite inspired by the movies, series and Japanese animation. But nothing can be done.

On the car news and getting my own place... well, still saving money to be able to get a decent car that won't break down on my long journeys that I plan to take around Europe. And can't find a nice place that I can afford in Barcelona. So on both fronts, the doors are still open.

Apparently, I'm going to be on "vacation" this winter, so trying to figure out somewhere to go to even if it is for a week or two - depending on how much it might cost me (a liver, or arm). And going to try and tie up loose ends on my project so that I can start hunting for financial support.

Also going to do a reboot of my online tshirt store, getting some sales over there, but I could do with some extra cash... well, better go and finish setting up the work station...

The breeze made her hair dance to the sound of the waves
She looked she just walked out of a dream
The sun making it seem like she had fire in her hair
A mythical beauty to hard to believe
I looked at her mesmerized
She smiled at me
And said I shouldn't stare
It's not my fault that you're so pretty
She said that I was being silly
She got up and walked to the waves
With every step my heart fealt dizzy
Afraid that she'd just disappear into the sea
Like a mermaid, that she might be
I closed my eyes to stop my head from thinking
Only to be surprised by sand in my hair sinking
Her sweet laughter was like music to my ears
Except that I had sand crawling down my face as if they were tears
Not the first time she played this trick on me
Don't think it will be the last time either
So I get up and chase her as she gets near
And she runs into the sea trying to get away from me
But the sea's on my side and a wave pushes her to me
I hold her in my arms and draw her near
And as she drowns herself in my eyes
I'm transfixed
By her lips
I kiss her and close my eyes
She draws me in as our bodies meet
A huge wave comes and wakes me from this dream
Only to find myself awake beside her
Sleeping with a smile on her face
As if sensing my look
She puts her arm around me
And I close my eyes to enjoy reality
