    Kind of not really. I've signed up for EI, which will pay for a portion of my regular rate, and my accommodations and course have been paid for. I was also given money for food allowance and course materials, but it was the same amount of money regardless on how much I spent on course materials. So I borrowed a lot of stuff from work.

    I don't get paid my hourly rate, though, so if EI doesn't kick in then I'm not going to be paid for my time. Thankfully, I just got vacation pay right before I came up here, so it won't be too tight.

    Heh. Change cutting for management and that's pretty much my brother's actual status. I'm wondering how he's holding up without my mom cooking for him.

    At least you can steal the soaps from your motel.
    I never had to do any of those training course for work, of course, Ive never been full time; Im still just a student.
    Ive also never gotten any vacation or sick time...

    This isn't required for work, but I would have been silly to turn it down. They are paying for me to get my journeyman paper's, learn all sorts of stuff we don't do in store, and make more money. Win-Win? I think so.

    Spoiler warning:
    When Horo/Holo is held captive by the trading company, i was totally expecting a scene where some shit gets eaten or some shit. But then she just drops down. No crazy action scene or anything.

    I guess I'm just comparing it to past animes I've seen.

    It was more a thriller than an action series i guess is all.

    Not disappointed, was just surprised.

    At least I know how to cook for myself. I just don't have all of the usual equipment here. For example, I don't have an oven. BUT I GOTS A HOT PLATE!!! WOOOOO!!!

    Yeah, I'd hold up pretty well if I had a microwave, a little kitchen or something. He's just useless at cooking.

    I would have gotten those papers too, but now Ill be interning in the IT dept. of a Library. Also my new boss is a dick, so I dont want to work for him again. The district manager is awesome, but the guy at my store would talk behind my back like a little bitch.

    Half-Life is a lot longer than I remember it being. They just don't make games like they used to.
