    Isn't confident and knowledgeable pretty much means cokcy ;). Anyway thanks for all the vote of confidence. I need this, 14$/hour isn't bad, plus I can always work part time and still continue university. People do that, right ?

    ION its cold and windy and overcast outside and I can see the buds on the tree branches near my bedroom window. The leaves will be soon.

    [​IMG] Ugh, I have got to learn to start looking at reviews for things before I buy them. Case and point: I bought a guide for FF9 off Amazon recently since I'm planning to replay it and want to see how much I missed the other times I've played (yes, I've heard of the internet, but I like physical guides better sometimes) and it finally arrived today.

    Before I continue, here are the reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/product-reviews/0744000416/

    Basically, they were trying something new when they made this guide. A lot of the stuff in the book has very basic descriptions, and then a keyword that you can go to the website and search for more information. As such it's a pretty barebones guide, skimming over a lot of things in rather annoying ways (Here's a super cool weapon, search this keyword online to find out where to get it). Here's the kicker: the site no longer contains anything on FF9, meaning anything in the guide with an online keyword is totally useless.

    On a somewhat related note:

    Being done university + no more student debt + full time job = I spend a looot of money on silly things

    Oh yeah I remember that guide ! The website is play-online or something, right ? Come to think of it... I barely started High School when that game was released... wow, time flies.

    On a funny note; remember in the game when Garnet cuts her own hair with a dagger in a single shot ? Well one of my friend tried that... apparently it isn't as easy as the game would've hinted. :lol: the stupid things you do in High School...

    @Flix - so when your friend tried to cut his/her hair in one swipe, what did she/he use specifically?

    As my friends have predicted, my ISP screwed up transferring my old number and connection to my new flat, and that leaves me without either phone or internet access for a week. And naturally, they gave me a new number. A bloody nuisance.

    At least I have the prospect of them getting it to work until Monday. We'll see. But when it eventually works, I was told that I'll have a five times faster connection. Hmm. Perhaps. I hope I'll get my old number back.

    Well, I can just imagine that haircut. I hope he didn't play with knives too much in other matters.

    Well, I'm anxiously awaiting the call while nibbling at chocolate cookies, I'm a nervous sugar eater y'see :p (I normally don't eat much sugar). They told me I should receive a call today if it I got it or not.

    I personally always insist that my sugar is calm and under control before I eat it. I just have no respect for nervous sugar, or for the generally confused kind either. :rolleyes:

    Ha ha good one :rolleyes: Y'know what I meant, well their offices are closed by now and I haven't received a call, so I guess I didn't get the job. Interestingly the questions I was asked had nothing to do with the actual job, she seemed content to ask me question about my financial state with a barely hidden judgmental attitude. Yeah, I'm broke and I'm late for my phone payment, I haven't got a job, whaddya expected ?

    Did they tell you they would let you know today? In my experience, it takes longer than that, though I don't have any Canadian experience of course.

    We have no way of knowing, although this might be a very subtle and vague indicator:
