Hectic! Only person on in games, I think I handled it pretty well. There was at least one request every 5 minutes for a games advisor.. At one point, I was juggling 3 of them simultaneously ~_~ lol. It was alright though, having something to do. More happened at work, but my little poem in the post below this pretty much dictates what happened.

This may sound a little gay, but I'm really glad to have Damo as my superior. He is definitely the most reliable and helpful person I've ever met in a work environment. Also great to chat with. He generally makes my life at JB a lot better than it could be. I kinda feel bad always calling him for help when he isn't in the store... I know he has a life outside of it, but the fact that he won't even give a second thought to helping me out just shows what a great guy he is. So big kudos to him x]

Anyway. I think I'm gonna get myself a piano/keyboard teacher. It's hard to teach myself without knowing 90% of the stuff I'm meant to know and understand =.=..


I'm thinking of moving out of home soon. First home buyers' grant will get me started easily... Things at home are getting too tense. I know it's expensive to live alone, but I think it would be a fair trade off to escape and be able to do things as I want to. Worst comes to worst, I'll move out as soon as I finish at University...

Ok. Haven't blogged for 4 days. I had to get some stuff out of the way.

Firstly, Saturday evening I ended up goin down to the Foundry again with my workmates. It was a lot more chillax than last week... However, it had quite a few awkward silences.. lol. I'd attribute it to the fact that we were all just knackered, but eh.

Did absolutely nothing on Sunday but rest, as my days off usually go :P

Monday was great. The 2nd-in-charge at JB Carousel approached me. At first I thought I was in trouble, then he says "HI FIVE ALEX!". So, I hi-fived him, despite being really confused. Then he told me why he was so happy. Not only did JB Carousel Games' Section become the #1 in WA, it was ranked in the top 10 of all of the Australian stores, after just one week! Taking into account that Perth's population is half of where the other, bigger, east-side JB Hi-Fi stores are located, and the fact that we only really have 2.5 people in that section... 1.5 of which have very little experience. I mean, I had one week's experience at JB Cannington. And that was after being thrown in the deep end! zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hockay. So. A week ago I bought myself a keyboard piano. I didn't want to mention it here for specific reasons until today, but here it is x]. I have no experience whatsoever. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. I've tried teaching myself how to play. I gotta admit, I'm not terrible. I'm trying to play some songs by ear. I can only do them one key at a time so far... Attempting to press multiple keys for a better sound. I'll have to see how I go :P. Maybe I'll get a proper teacher for it. I'm really keen on learning >< So far.. All I can play that's worth listening to is "To Zanarkand - Nobuo Uematsu". Annnnnnnnd it's a terribad newbie version of it. It sounds alright though, so I'll just keep on going until I can become better :D

Also, Happy Birthday Hannah x]
