Bit of both, haha. Keeping things running plus the increased sales are a killer combo this time of year. And that's really good to hear man! I'm starting to hit my stride in my new gig so I'm thankfully in the same boat. (b")b

Gah that sucks. I can't have a third person if I live with my significant other, I need peace and alone time. gross. Would so want to kick that person out.. sigh ):

and yeah I do! though I should update the opening post... lol, weh. Luckily my undergrad tuition was covered almost fully by financial aid. :D

I'd like to move out and do a masters closer to where my bf lives (Texas) since that way we can see each other a lot easier until we can move in together. I do like NYC but I'd love to go almost anywhere else and experience new things. Though how I'm going to pay for masters degree tuition on top of an apartment in another state is beyond me. /=

and aw is he that bad? The stories of roommates who can't take care of their space or don't pull their weight is just blech to me.

lucky you D: I don't have anyone to room with atm (since I'd only room with people I know, otherwise it's hard to trust) and would have to come up with 1-2k USD per month.

Yeah, the city pressure can be hard too. Plus it's annoying to commute there. Express buses are expensive and the traffic can mean two hours to get to work and back. Cars aren't really an option due to nonexistent parking space.

also NYC apartment prices are the devil......

oh man awww D: I'm still with mine which is a good thing because we're in a three-floor house and are pretty well off but yeah ahaha. I don't like the thought of paying bills and etc but at least I'd be free from the pressure in a way? And people do say you appreciate your family a lot more when you're not constantly surrounded by them after a while.

Oh sweet deal. I hope you get somewhere awesome :D Do you live yourself?? I feel more pressured when I'm underneath my parents' roof since my mom wants the absolute best for me and that can be kind of hard to keep up with, lol.

oh that helps thanks a ton! No worries. I understand, can't be boggled down by the pressure of 'others more qualified are probably applying' forever or you won't get anywhere. Sounds like you had a pretty good experience. ^^ Are you still working? You said you had a ton of free time now so I was wondering if you left. :(

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the good feedback <3 How did you get into HR with an English major/degree if you don't mind my asking? It seems really hard to even find an entry-level job there without at least a degree or some experience. I have a hard time even finding HR internships.

I don't even know. I graduated with a BS in Communications/Design & Digital Media but have no idea what jobs would even fit because it's so.. vague. Currently I work as a receptionist/office manager in a busy mortgage office and I absolutely hate it. You were a former recruiter? I honestly want to get a job in HR/recruitment, seems more stable even if it's tedious. blehhh ;c

It's been okay! I'm thinking of pursuing a master's degree or something since I'm still not sure what I'm doing with my career. loool you?

Aw, PC will always miss you and you're pretty loved around here. so it's always awesome when you pop back in *-*

thank you! :))

thank you 8D I can't go up the ladder any higher so hopefully that's the last time my color will change. lol

I miss seeing you around actively aaaa

Pretty damn sweet. It doesn't offer anywhere near the customization that CyanogenMod offered (running OxygenOS...) but it is still not a shabby device at all. I miss stuff like AudioFX (huge music nerd lol) and the theme engine (customization freak!) and there are bugs that are sort of annoying (SD card not being shown in settings, USSD code sometimes failing to run, etc) but, overall, the experience hasn't let me down in day-to-day life.

It might not exactly seem like I'm having a pleasant time since all the things I've mentioned till now were negatives, haha. But, well, this device suits me more than One does. Firstly, this is a smaller device - fits my hand easily and is much more convenient. Secondly, that screen. It is friggin gorgeous. The AMOLED screen really does make media consumption a treat! And, well, apart from that, the day-to-day usage is just as fast as it was on my OPO so that's great, too. :D And I can't forget about the build quality of the device now, can I? It is beautiful to look at and even better to hold. One gripe is, obviously, since the back is made of glass, it catches fingerprint marks really fast - that's a minor annoyance to an otherwise brilliantly designed piece of technology. :D

i have something due on december 7th. if i survive, i'll let you know. lol.

I am enjoying everything! It's all stuff that I'm interested in, even though I never thought that I would enjoy fiddling with technology so much. Being this busy is tiring, though, but it keeps me occupied which is always good.

It's actually great to hear that your life is quiet enough so you can enjoy it! I remember just how crazy your life was a few years ago, so it's good to hear that things have improved and you can check in with us again. <3

Busy busy busy! I not only have full-time at my job now, but I'm always have a lot of other stuff on my plate. Writing, studying computer stuff (HTML and I want to become a network administrator), reading, and just trying to keep my life on track.

How's Beachy?

I hope not to let this conversation die again on my end!

Oh, I've had a OnePlus One for a while myself. Currently using a OnePlus X. We could definitely talk about it sometime. :p

Haha hey dude, welcome back! I'm keeping pretty busy now that it's full-blown holiday season, blaaaah. What about you?

BEACHBOY IS BACK YAY
