@Franzoir, is House of Cards really that good? Everyone swoons over it but I've never tired it. I just don't want it to be complete disappointment and fail to live up to the hype that surrounds it. Since that's what happened with Breaking Bad, watched that a year ago. And I was just flat out bored, finished the 4th season and I just never carried onto the fifth. And I marathoned all four seasons by that point so never went to watching it weekly either. I just didn't think it loved up to the hype. Maybe if I'd found it myself I might have enjoyed it but with everyone praising it, I guess I just expected more. Can't figure out why people are fawning over Breaking Bad and I haven't tried House of Cards because I expect it will be the same deal.
Well I'm currently in a little war at work over my contract. My contract is for 16 hours, but ever since I started back in March I've never done my contracted hours, my first month or two I worked 25 hours, and my hours have fluctuated all year but they never went below 21, and for the past two months I've been doing 36 hours at least. So I'm trying to get work to give me a better contract, in part because I want the secured hours and also because holiday pay is based on contracted hours not the hours you actually work, I take more than 50% pay cut to have a holiday, so there is no incentive for me to ever use my holidays. Now at the end of the year I'll get paid for the holidays I haven't used, work don't like that so are insisting that next year I book all my holidays, but I'm refusing because first I don't want to take a holiday and second there is absolutely no reason or incentive as it currently stands for me to use my holidays. Starting in January I'm going to be putting my money aside so that hopefully in 2 years or so I can visit my ex girlfriend in China - we have it planned, a week in Beijing where she works then a week in her hometown of Harbin with her family, two weeks isn't ideal but it will be my first time going abroad by myself and it's one of the few countries I actually want to visit - so I'll need to be earning as much as my job will allow so to do that I'm not taking any holidays which work don't like. *sigh*
In other news I'm on an Anime kick again, I know I seem to do this every few months and quickly stop because of my bitterness so it's not strictly new but hey, even new attempt to me is news. Well this anime kick is going better than all of my previous attempts in the past few years to get back into anime. In the past two weeks I've watched all of Diabolik Lovers, Shiki, Danganronpa, No Game No Life and I'm currently working through Black Bullet. I haven't watched this much anime in years, I've got more series downloaded and more downloading, my MAL account hasn't seen this much activity in a long while, it feels like when I first joined the site back in 2007 and I was devouring anime, watching anime now I really do feel like I felt when I was 16, which considering I'm 24 in 3 hours, stuns me when I think that I started watching anime 8 years ago.
Anyway back to Black Bullet I go, I hope everyone here is well and I miss everyone where I spoke to you often or not. This site and its members are a big part of my life and helped shape me as I entered my late teens, so with that I truly wish everyone well.
