Allo Allo Allo,


  I've been at BMS for about 3 months now. So, far I'm enjoying it here. The work isn't too bad, but shows I'm sadly lacking in knowledge of the background information. I have to start studying and learning stuff. It's hard trying to teach yourself lessons on bacteria, because you've no clear guideline on what to learn. I'm still in the training stage, but I'm being given more duties to do.

I'm still uncertain and uneasy about my place here. I'm not sure if I really belong here. I'll give it time and see what happens.

I'm still have trouble sleeping. I stay up late at night thinking about BMS. How should I fit in? What should I do to improve? What were the mistakes I made? Why did I make them? Will I get in trouble? These thoughts just go around and around my mind. I just replay the day over and over. I have to stop. The worry and stress is getting to me. I think I'll learn over time.  

I've a paranoid streak. definitely about people. I can't help think my coworkers don't like me much. This may be just all in my heard. I give off the feeling that I'm a loner. I try not to. I've started talking more and share my private life more. It may not be enough. I guess this is another wait and see thing.

BMS did something shocking last week. They fired a girl. She was only here for about a month. I don't think she did anything to warrant being fired. It was really harsh of them to do so. I've heard that she would interrupt people talking, not do her work and try to reschedule things. I think she was just overeager to prove her self and to get some stuff done. She was a really nice girl and I liked her a lot.

I feel so bad for her. This was her first job and to be fired from it in a month. This experience could really kill her self confidence. It's hard to for seasonal workers to be fired. It'll really hurt a complete newbie. She's young, only 22. They could have taught her the proper way to do things and guide her, but they just fired her. She was a temp, so they probably felt that was unneceessary. What's also strange was her boss was on vacation when she was fired. So the other managers were the one that fired her. Icky business now.

I wish her well and luck. I hope she gets better soon and finds a better future than BMS could have gave her.

Allo Allo Allo,

It's been a month since I started my new job. It's going ok. I'm not as nervous nor do I dread it as much. I'm still in the training stage. It takes forever to be trained on anything. One task takes about a week and a half to be trained on. It's BMS way of training that takes so long. You have to watch the trainer twice and perform the duty supervised 3 times before you're considered trained.

I'm not as troubled about being in the Biotech/Biology field as I was before. I'm enrolled in college again. I'll be going to night school for accounting. I'm going to have that as a back up. If I still hate what I do at least I've another skill to work on.

I still don't know what I my goals in life are.

Lately, I've been thinking of marriage and children. I don't think they'll be in my future ever. I can't picture myself married with children. I don't like the responsiblity at all.

I really have to figure it out somehow.

Allo Allo Allo,

  Right now I'm going through a major change in my life. I just got a job as a Quality Control Microbiologist at BMS. Yay. It pays great and has lots of great benefits.

Truth be told, I'm not really excited about the job. In fact, I don't want it.

Why?

I don't want to work. I actually hate Biology. I'm completely unsuited for it. I only majored in it in college, because I couldn't think of any thing else to major in.

I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I've no ambitions and no dreams. All I ever do is just watch my Asian dramas, read manga and sleep.

I've decided to go back to school this fall. I'll be majoring in accounting. It'll be night classes. So, I'll work as a Microbiologist during the day and go to school for accounting in the night. Accounting will be a backup. Something else for me to do.

I don't know where I'm going in life. I wish I had a goal. I really envy and am jealous of people who are driven by dreams or goals.

I want to rec a manga. It's in the josei genre. Josei is aimed at older women, in their 20s and higher. Josei manga deal with more mature subjects than shoujo mangas.

Here's the summary of the manga Bathroom Guuwa Story that I took from the site Mangafox.

Bathroom Guuwa Story is about three women are invited to a young man's house with only a letter and an address to guide them. Izumi, the man's neighbor, knows he moved out some 17 years ago. While waiting, the four women contemplate the part of their lives associated with the kind man, Yamamoto Hiroyuki. Heartbreaking and cathartic, Bathroom Guuwa Story tells the story of the maturation of four women from their experiences with a quiet, patient and proud man.

It's a really lovely story. One of my favorites. It has a quiet atmosphere, which helps you relate to the 4 women in the story. 

You can find it here.

I just found an amazing video on youtube. Kim Ji Youn known as SORI1004JY on youtube, plays the electric violin to many different music. I love her playing. It goes great with the original pieces. I wish she had a cd out so I could buy it.

I came back from break from the Kanjani8 fandom. When I returned shit load of wank happened to the community.

Debbie-chan stepped down. What the hell?! I thought she was doing a good job. She wasn't perfect but she tried her best.

Tomo-chan is taking over. I don't have a clue who that is but I've a feeling I've seen the nickname Tomo-chan before. I think she may have been a old timer, someone who's been around for a while. Or, at least someone who contributed to the Kanjani8 fandom in a major way but hasn't been around for a while.

You know, I see alot of members coming out of the wood works to bitch about stuff, who've I've never seen contribute to the community. I've taken a break but I'll pop into the com once in a while to see what's going on. Most members, I haven't seen before. Sadly, the ones that contributed a lot are scarce. :/

The community will make it through the wank, but I'm sorry to see it change in such a sad way.

I'm just going to post this here. I don't want to really raise my hopes up and maybe even others.

Kanjani8 is going to have a spring concert tour. It's April to May. To me it feels way to soon for them to have another concert tour. They just finished they're 47 concert tour in September. Also, I just heard that they're probably going to have another long one later in the year. I feel it's really strange for them to have another one.

I feel like this is a sign of Uchi's return to Kanjani8.

I had hopes that Uchi would return on the New Years Count Down but I doubted it too. Now, that I think about it, it doesn't make sense for them to do it. They already used Count Down for News return. JE probably wanted an original new way for Uchi.

What better way to do it than this?

Uchi guested on Kanjani8's concert. Uchi is now playing a main role for a special drama with Ryo. Kanjani8 is having a Spring concert. It seems to be hinting at Uchi's return to Kanjani8.

I can't type anymore right now cause my heart is beating so fast thinking about this. ^^;; I'll think even more deeply when I calm down for this thought.
