antpower: (Riida - hoody is too cute)
[personal profile] antpower
So, I was on my way to work yesterday morning when they called me to say I had the job I was interviewed for on Thursday. Yay, right? So, I went to work and resigned. That was all fine, I mean my team leader was unconvincingly upset and Harry almost cried and kept hugging me, but it was all good.

So, on the way home from work, I got a call from the new job saying "OOPSIE, NO YOU DON'T HAVE THE JOB AFTER ALL!"

This is me, unemployed.

With 2.5 months left until I go to Japan and still about $2000 away from my savings goal.

But seriously, how can you offer someone a job and then just take it back????

But then I got home and everyone had posted the Truth PV and then the Kaze no Mukou e PV, so life isn't all bad. Arashi makes most bad things go away. I'm sure I'll find something soon anyway, being super-awesome and all. Plus, now I'll have time to catch up on LJ and awesome things like that, yay!!

Anyway, I was going to post other things, like about how freaking awesome those PVs are, like with Matsujun's super NINJA KICK and then in Kaze no Mukou e, how he's wearing half a poncho-like thing! And just... Truth! Gah! Hot!!! Also about how my interest in the Olympics begins and ends with Sakurai Sho's involvment, so I went and saw the X-Files movie instead, and how Scully is still super-hot, only my nephew is here to go to the footy so I have to go.

Hopefully I will yell a lot at the football and work out my unemployment angst!!

That sucks, anyway, those job people are total assholes! How can you CHANGE YOUR MIND and take back a job offer??? It's so unprofessional! I hope you manage to find an awesome new job, anyway!

The Truth PV is awesome! It looks like a cross between Seishun Amigo and Taiyou no Namida, but still! Awesome!! I love their outfits, everyone is superhot in it!

Yeah, I don't get why they would do that! I was seriously staring at my phone for like 10 minutes afterwards like "omg, did that really just happen". I would've yelled at them only I was on a packed tram and didn't want to look like even more of an idiot!

THE TRUTH PV IS TOTALLY PWNING MY SOUL RIGHT NOW!! I love that sexy shimmy bit they do where Nino is standing in front of Ohno and kind of looking back at him. They are all so hot in it, it's kind of bad in a way, because I have to keep watching it to notice the others, but then I keep just getting distracted by Ohno so it's like "OH NO, I HAVE TO WATCH IT AGAIN, AGAIN!". Not that I'm really minding.

I know, right! Maybe you can hire Ohno as a LAWYER FOR REVENGE and sue them for EMOTIONAL TRAUMA AND DISTRESS, or something! Then you wouldn't even need to work anymore to get Japan money!!

THE TRUTH PV IS SO FREAKING AWESOME, OMG! It is so unlike the other Arashi PVs I've watched, but ♥!! LOL!! Of course you don't mind watching it again and agian!! It is important that the other members don't feel left out, anyway! HAHA. :D

That is an awesome plan!! Then Ohno would be like "Ant is so much more awesome than Spooky girl" and we would get married to Nino and I would be able to get you free tickets to JE concerts!! THIS PLAN CANNOT FAIL!!! XP

Yeah, it's really different. THERE ARE NO RAINBOWS!! The Aozora Pedal PV is really different too, because it's one of those "telling a story" PVs. Nino produced it or directed it or something, he's so clever!!

That shouldn't be legal! You can't give a job then decide a bit later that you're taking it away!
*HUGS* I'm sorry :(

That's so bizarre! Because almost the exact thing happened to another of my LJ buddies this week! O_O

Best of luck finding something new!

I'm so sorry they took the job back. I hope you manage to get everything sorted *hugs*

SO JEALOUS YOU'RE GOING TO JAPAN. It is the most amazing place in the world :( Where abouts are you staying? I can actually recommend places to you now! :DDD

Date: 2008-08-11 06:12 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com
Yeah, there are tons of jobs at the moment so it shouldn't be too hard to find something else.

I'M SO JEALOUS THAT YOU JUST WENT!!! We're staying in Aoyama. Not just because the hotel we've booked is around the corner from the JE building, because that would be stalkerish and weird, right? But yes, recommend places for me! I have no idea about good places to go out of a night and stuff like that! And it sounds like you had so much fun!!

Oh good. :DD

Ahhh. akjks it's ok, we would have gone to the Johnny's shop in Fukuoka too except we melted. Hmm these are all in Tokyo as we didn't really go outside of Tokyo apart from Fukuoka, but you definitely need to go to Harajuku because it's so buzzing, so alive and not to mention all of the fantastically dressed people there.

Akihabara is know as electrical city and if you need cheap ipods, phones, mp3 players i would definitely head there. Although if you don't go anyway because it's a wonderful place anyway.

Shibuya for the shopping :DD You can seriously blow a huge amount of money. Also it never ever sleeps.

We spent some time in Ebisu but mostly in the train station when we used our JR pass and I really liked it. Also see if you can fine Ebisu Garden Place from Hana York Dango as we failed, lol.

Go to Shinjuku too because again great shopping and it's just a great place.

Ikebukuro which is like gaming central, i.e. probably one of Junno's favourite places! Also it's great to walk down the streets and stare at all the massive bill boards and bright colours.

In terms of clubbing we only went to two places, Atom (http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.clubatom.com/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Datom,%2Bshibuya%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG%26pwst%3D1) in Shibuya which was....awful ajsj. It's a favourite club for Ryo and Jin and um yeah. I can see why if you just want to pick up a girl for the night...

The second one we went to was New Lex (http://www.newlex-edo.com/index2.html) which was in Roppongi and pretty easy to get to--just get out at exit five at Roppongi subway station, come up and turn left until you see the B-Roppongi. It's up the side street next to it with sort of odd red coloured lights. ajssj let me know if you need directions closer to the time because it was an absolutely fantastic night out. I would also recommend Roppongi to you anyway because it was a fantastic place to stay in.

sljks sorry this is so long. Hopefully it makes sense...

Oooh, thank you!! This is very handy stuff to know!!

Akihabara is definitely on the list - I need a new DS!! And our hotel is just around the corner from Shibuya station, so that's awesome too!! We're definitely going to Ikebukuro, because they have a Gyoza Stadium!! From our "to do" list, I'm starting to think we're going to eat our way around Japan. It's like the Food and JE Tour or something. XP

LOL, I'll make a note to avoid Atom!!

THAT'S IT. GIVE ME THEIR ADDRESS AND I WILL PAY THEM A LITTLE VISIT. *gets her axe ready*

ROFL, I would love to see you turn up there with an axe!! XP

I KNOW, RIGHT!! IT'S LIKE HYPNOTIC IN ITS PRETTINESS!! Also, wtf when did Matsujun learn to dance????

Date: 2008-08-11 06:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] calvincakes.livejournal.com
IT TOTALLY IS. And gosh, I absolutely love Ohno's voice at the 'I take your life forever, you take my life forever' part. Matsujun can raise his leg pretty high (ahaha), I mean WTF NINJA KICK! :D

From: [identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com
Yes! Evil!Ohno kind of kills me with his hotness. He makes me think impure thoughts!! LOL, yes Matsujun is very flexible!! XP

That is bad, baaaaaaaad HR D: Maybe you could guilt the new place into giving you a temp position in the meantime, or at least they could give you some contacts =]

I kind of think that if they're the kind of people who are unprofessional like that, I don't want anything to do with them at all! I'm sure I will find something much more awesome instead.

Just admin/data entry stuff. I've been doing call centre work, but talking all day makes me sick.

Uugh, I don't like call centre stuff either T__T; why am I applying for call centre jobs again? >>; I'm looking for the same kind of stuff right now so I'm just gonna spam a whole lot of temp agencies xD; Anyway, good luck with job hunting ;D

I know, they're seriously retarded and I don't want to work for them anyway!! Anyway, it was average money and I would've been starting at like 5.30am or something, so I don't care so much really. Only that I wouldn't have quit my job otherwise!!

Sho is commentating for Nippon TV! I kind of feel like a proud older sister or something!!! XP

5:30 am? Ugh. D: But yeah, if they hadn't told you differently, you wouldn't have quit your job!--and now it's all their fault. >:O

Ohhh, he is? XDD :D

From: [identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com
Yeah, it is. And it made me feel kind of stupid for quitting my job, even though I don't know what else I could've done.

Yeah, he's a very serious newscaster-type!! When he's not being a total retard A RAPPING NEWSCASTER!!!

Date: 2008-08-13 02:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dayadhvam-triad.livejournal.com
Well, since you expected to have another job, that's not stupid. They're just misinforming you. D:

Rapping newscaster XDD the Hachibi would sting everyone he didn't like. :P

Commenting to say that I read all your earlier entries, but couldn't find anything constructive to say. Your enthusiastic Maou entries were fun to rerad. Also serious WTF at the people who "hired" you. They just called the wrong person or what?
Olympics. Who needs them?

Date: 2008-08-13 05:31 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] ant-power.livejournal.com
LOL, that's okay!!

Maou totally owns my soul at the moment. But I guess that's kind of obvious!! XP

I think they told me I had the job before they called references, and then they couldn't get ahold of mine or something. I don't know, they're just idiots.

I agree. I'm thinking of watching the men's diving though. For the hotness. Not that I'm shallow or anything! XP

Date: 2008-08-13 07:58 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fujiko1601.livejournal.com
What kind of hiring process is that? What's the point of calling references after they had hired you?

Why, yes, anyone can see you are possessed. XD

I know, right. Who does that??? Morons.

LOL, possessed. That's funny on different levels! <3
