What. What. What are you doing.

Everyone go to YouTube and look up Sassy Gay Friend. Like, now. Othello is my favorite, but Hamlet and the Giving Tree are both pretty awesome as well. Seriously, go.

Well, it's time for the Bad, the Good, and the Buh? in Kia's life.

The Bad goes first because, while it's intensely frustrating, it's also quite minor in the scheme of things. I was one of the multitudes who rolled their rears out of bed at obscene hours of the morning - 5:45 AM for me - to get online to buy Comic Con passes. This was the second date - the website selling tickets on November 1st, the original date, suffered massive failure, so the sale date was delayed.

As enna_xor put it, you'd think in three weeks Comic Con would've done something other than design new error messages. I got nine unique messages and multiple instances of each - hell, I took screen caps. Gotta collect 'em all, right?

At 8:30, Comic Con finally posted an announcement: registration was once again closed due to - say it with me, now - massive site failure. We get to wait another few weeks for round three and the desperate, utterly frustrated hope that maybe Comic Con will have their act together in time for those of us who want tickets to actually get them.

So yeah, it's been fun. I also waxed overly melodramatic about that one, huh. XD

Also, I am never going anon again. I tend to fail at it. And that is all I'm saying about that. 8D

The Good! I turned in my paperwork at Hickory Farms and got a few minutes of training. It's going to be a very low-key, almost mindless job, but my manager is pretty cool and it's not a bad place to be...which is to say, it's right next to the big seasonal Nintendo display. Yes, please. :D

Also! After my third session of training for Brighton, I have decided that I am going to seriously love this job. It's a good application of my server skills, I am falling in love with the product (everything is just so shiny OMW), and the people are absolutely fantastic. I have a lot to learn about the product and our policies and everything, but I'm honestly looking forward to it. This should be fun. :D

Also, my friends are awesome and will never not be awesome. This goes for the lot of you. ♥

The Buh? can be summed up in a single sentence: Why, now that I've gotten two (albeit seasonal) positions, have people only just now started finding my resume on Career Builder and calling me about positions?

Yeah, I don't get it. \O_o/

So yes! Those are the life and times of Kia. Tomorrow, I fly home until Sunday. Should be interesting, but interesting can be fun. |Db

...okay I couldn't resist. A bit NWS for language, but still amazing.

V. interesting.

[kiaxet]

...shut up.

[memoryofpride.livejournal.com]

Well, if that's not confirmation nothing is. /cracking up

[kiaxet]

Oh, somebody else outed me over AIM already, hence the realization that I rather fail at this. There are much worse things to be outed on, believe me.

And seriously that is all I'm saying about that. 8|

[memoryofpride.livejournal.com]

Quite true! And man, am I glad I'm not the only one. I was tempted to PM you about it.

That is all that needs to be said. /patpat

[kiaxet]

You too? Seriously? Is everyone just determined to out me in my anon fail? Dammit, human curiosity, you trip me up again!

/internet, in despair, melodrama, etc.

[memoryofpride.livejournal.com]

Call us bloodhounds. We have to find the target.

I also think the icon says it all. Oh fandubs.

/would you like a noose

[memoryofpride.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I'm sorry to hear about Comic-Con. I hope third time's a genuine charm in this case. I can't imagine getting up that early only to fail at getting tickets. :/ On the plus side, hooray jobs!

[kiaxet]

Comic-Con will get its act together eventually, I think hope. They're "researching their options" when it comes to ticket sales, so we'll see. And yes, hooray jobs indeed!

[memoryofpride.livejournal.com]

I guess there's a reason talks about having Comic-Con somewhere else have increased. They've been batting it around for a while now but I'm starting to see how bad the attendance rate is getting. The city isn't sure if the convention center will be enough.

/confetti

[kiaxet]

I don't think it was the massive amount of people trying to get on the site that killed it - I think it was just epic site failure. This is the first time they've ever had trouble like this, and. Well. I have no idea, really. \O_o/

And San Diego got the contract again, though I'm not sure how long the renewed one lasts.

[memoryofpride.livejournal.com]

I know they got the contract again. I do sort of live there sometimes! I just also know that the news is starting to make it a yearly thing where the city ponders about it. Comic-Con also doesn't allow on-site purchases, right? And has the preview night package ever sold out before normal registration before? If they're only doing online registration versus whatever other means used to happen then it's no wonder the site failed.

[ottering.livejournal.com]

It's a law of the universe that job stuff happens in packages.

[kiaxet]

Somehow, that just makes things more awkward. \O_o/

"She wants to be the very best,

Like no one ever was!

To register is her real test,

To sign up is her cause!

She will travel across the web,

Searching far and wide.

Teach Comic Con to understand,

They need to fix their web site!

Comic Con!

It's them and her!

Comic Con!

Her will is pure!

COMIIIIIICOOOOOOON!"

Brandon never stop being amazing XD

[kiaxet]

...I love you. XD

[ghettopeach.livejournal.com]

ROFLs at the Sassy Gay Friend.

[kiaxet]

Sassy Gay Friend is possibly my new favorite video series. It's fantastic.

[nalina.livejournal.com]

...So where was this anon fail~? :3

Course, you can't be any worse than I am at failing at anon. People can ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS tell with me. *sob*

[kiaxet]

If you don't already know, I'm not saying a thing. 8|

Well, you're really obvious - it's just the way you type. XD Evidently I am the EXACT SAME WAY.

[lufthansarse.livejournal.com]

Aha! I knew I'd seen you on anon-memes.

[kiaxet]

...yes! That! 8D;;;

[lufthansarse.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen you on the current - but now I shall look :D

I've seen you on memes before, though :3

[fae-of-the-rose.livejournal.com]

Boo ComiCon fail.

Yay Sassy Gay Friend!
