This just in: I got a job! :D

Post by Sugami »

Just over three years after my last failed employment and finally landed another job. My days of being a NEET are finally long over (hopefully). Double whammy as it's a job that I want so there's good career opportunities and it's really close to me too.

It was kinda surreal; I sent off a speculative letter Wednesday, got a phone call Friday and had interview the same day in which he practically offered me the job then and there. Few e-mails and phone calls later and was offered the job on Sunday and started work the Monday. The pay isn't very good as I'm in a training position but as soon as training is over (guessing 3 months or so) the pay goes up a bit to a respectable starting salary for the job and location and there should be annual pay increases too.

Fingers crossed this one will last longer than 2 months :oops:

I got the JP PSP version of the game in 2009.
It's a fairly short fighter, pretty fun to play, but short.

I had a friend of mine (my personal figure expert) import the figure for me because I really like it. (Cheaper then the below link.)

Here's the link to a shop selling it with better quality pics of it.

I also have my eyes on the Dark Saber from the same company.

About as expensive as the Flandre Scarlet 1/8th I got from AX11 for $200.

Its expensive, but very pretty.

Yeah, but I got it for €25 less than that price.
None the less, expensive hobby is expensive and I buy figurines like that only once maybe twice a year.

There is one however which still needs to be added to my collection which is a lot more expensive than the one above.
