07:55 Bucket hmm hmm hmm, homework~
08:04 Bucket and I just dropped my hairbrush in the toilet~
08:23 starcat ew.
08:28 Bucket I had a spare though
09:11 Bucket so I'm working on writing up some directions for my amigurumi panel for people to take home, and I'm hoping to have written them as simple enough for a n00b to follow
09:11 Bucket I'd like to illustrate them with photos or a live demo
09:11 starcat photos are nice
09:14 Bucket yeah, but I'll need someone to take them for me, seeing as they're going to be photographing my hands
09:14 Bucket and I don't think my camera's timer is sufficient to set it, press the button, pick up the crocheting and get the picture taken
09:15 Bucket I wanna make cookies >_<
09:15 Bucket I have to finish Shiki's hoodie and re-hem the cutoffshortsthatbecameaskirtbecauseIdidn'tplaythrutheentiregame
09:16 starcat hmmm.
09:17 starcat Bucket, can you set it to time and then take a burst of pictures?
09:17 * starcat isn't sure if hers can.
09:20 Bucket I don't know if mine can
09:21 Bucket hmm, it can
09:22 Bucket or maybe it can't
10:59 SailorEarth helo

11:22 Bucket I just made some nice cookies.
11:22 Bucket Lavender cookies.
11:22 zf ooo
11:23 zf how'd they turn out?
11:40 Bucket lavendery
11:42 Bucket Standard butter/sugar rolled cookie recipe, but grind up some dried lavender flowers and put them in...
11:42 zf hm
11:42 zf i have lavender sugar somewhere
11:42 zf i did make butternut squash soup the other night though, it as really good
11:43 Bucket ooh
11:43 Bucket Then you make an icing from confectioners sugar and water and drizzle it on top with more flowers
11:43 Bucket I'm thinking about joinging the Elegant Gothic Lolita cooking LJ community
11:44 Raihosha EGL cookin?
11:48 zf sounds cool
11:48 zf hi rai
11:48 Raihosha Howdy.
11:50 zf how're you feeling today?
11:51 Raihosha a little stuffy still, but drug free for the moment.
11:53 zf ah
11:54 Raihosha I'm just chillin along at the moment... waiting for my ramen lunch to finish cooking.
11:54 zf i need to go find some lunch, actually...
11:55 Raihosha Food is good. Can't run without fuel.
11:57 zf nope
12:57 Bucket you got a cold Rai? Sorry to hear that
12:57 Raihosha Yep. ANd I've been on overtime at work... a fun week he said sarcastically.
12:58 Bucket heh, I know the feeling
12:59 Raihosha And from Hotaru's comments on the front page, I'm guessing Xadium has discovered the world of retail...
13:01 Bucket *OOCly hugs Xadium*
13:01 Bucket Retail is its own kind of fun
13:02 Bucket I enjoyed being in retail
13:02 Bucket even the Thanksgiving and Christmas rush
13:02 Raihosha I liked my time as a Grocery clerk more than I did my time in a call center. That's about the best I can say.
13:02 Bucket heh
13:02 Bucket I worked in a small town Radio Shack
13:03 Bucket It was the same town my mom had grown up in, and I had family friends there, so I saw a lot of people I knew
13:03 Bucket my first manager was great. My second manager was great then he turned into a major ****.
13:03 Bucket I had some great coworkers too
13:04 Raihosha That sounds like a fun place to work...
13:04 Bucket it was
13:04 Bucket If anything were to happen I'd go back there
13:04 Bucket probably not that exact store though
13:04 Wolfykins I still work in retail to aquire monies for my exodus to PA.
13:06 Wolfykins Bookmongering is not fun. I lol at the anime kiddies who are all "OMG YOU WORK FOR BORDERS"
13:06 Bucket When I was there one of the most endearing facts I remember was that Dale Jr. fans don't like Jeff Gordon fans.
13:06 starcat man.
13:06 Bucket I actually used that to my advantage ^^
13:06 Bucket guy comes in with a Jeff Gordon coat and I'm all like "ZOMG YOU WANT THIS"
13:06 Raihosha Well, I've discovered that I like office work, even if it IS tedious.
13:06 Bucket *shows him a #24 RC car*
13:07 Bucket I'm taking the intro to paralegal studies course right now to find out for myself if I'd be willing to study to become one.
13:07 Wolfykins Well it's only for a few more months before I move, so I guess I should'nt *****.
13:08 Bucket One of my best moments at that store was when a couple came in and asked for a specific converter...and I knew exactly what she was talking about since I used to hook up my Nintendo with it
13:08 Raihosha It is everyone's right to complain about their job, WOlf. Even when you enjoy a job you'll have some complaints.
13:09 Bucket I was doing some *******g the other night
13:09 Bucket in the rantbox
13:09 Bucket I'm worried about what's happening with the economy
13:10 Raihosha Well, I think everyone's nervous on that point.
13:10 Wolfykins Yea.
13:12 Bucket The thing is...If the economy goes bad, half of my work will increase, while the other half will decrease
13:15 Bucket the other what if is, what'll happen to the rest of the people at my work if the economy goes down?
13:15 Bucket my workload would majorly increase...
13:15 Bucket but anyways
13:15 Bucket I got a fat commission check for August.
13:16 Raihosha It's hard to say what's going to happen. There are enough factors that even the economists are uncertain.
13:16 Bucket yeah...
13:16 Bucket so there's a little extra money there even though I had to dip into savings to pay for my online course...
13:17 Bucket The thing is though I'm still working at an entry level rate
13:17 Bucket one of the things I'd like to do now that I've gotten experience is try to apply it to something like a legal secretary/paralegal position
13:17 Bucket which is what this course might be helping out in ^^
13:17 Raihosha understandable.
13:20 Bucket another possibility - same industry but different type of work/company
13:20 Bucket as long as it paid better ^^
13:22 Raihosha Well, I'm horrible at looking for work, so I can't give advice.
13:22 Bucket That's OK
16:28 Bucket Paula Deen has Duf on her show! Awwww.
