Here's a tip: Don't accept a job offer if you're going on a vacation.

As I sit here in front of the computer screen, typing away obscure queries into Wikipedia, I can't help but to realise that I've been procrastinating my ass off for the last two days. I'm supposed to study for this test on Thursday, and I have an assignment due on Friday. According to my procrastina-brain, I don't need to start preparing for these tasks until.. Wednesday evening.

Which leads me to my next point, I have a ticket for this gig on Wednesday. That's right, I'm going to see Alexisonfire live. AOF is an.. emo.. alternative.. ugh..something band. To think about it, I should've grown out of the genre by now, but I can still enjoy the music.

Well, maybe not really. I'm just there for the headbanging and Dallas Green. Mr. Green is a kickass musician. He has a very smooth voice that can get very annoying when you replay his cd for the twentieth time. He's also quite splendid on the guitar. Here's a link to his cd. Be like me, download music. No, I am not advocating internet piracy. I just hate the industry, that's all.

So I was just having an epiphany back when I was eating subway's. I smell like subway right now. Which could possibly be a turn off for some girls. Anyway, I had this epiphany; I realised that I shouldn't have accepted that job offer at Nandos.

Well, the story goes something like this. I was walking to uni when I passed by a friend. We chat for a while, then he told me that now he work at Nando's. Hmm. And so, as a form of 'basa-basi', I asked him if the manager is looking for new employees, and turns out that Nando's were looking. So I said to my friend "Yeah sure, I'll give you my resume and you can give it to them". A few days later, I went to the job interview, and it seems like the manager didn't like me. So I thought: "I wouldn't get in anyway". None of this ever surfaced back into my mind until the last few days, until my friend told me that I got the job.

All of that, in the previous paragraph:

Bad, bad decision.

Why? Because a couple of weeks ago, I had this plan for a trip to New Zealand this winter. I wanted to take this trip. Mostly because I see this as a chance to practice for my upcoming around-the-world trip (I checked the fares, and it's not as expensive as I thought.. $2000-something sounds really, really reasonable). And also because I've got a couple of guys from my old highschool that's studying there.

If I accept this job, probably I wouldn't have the time to go to NZ. Which would make my winter break reasonably sucky. I wanted to touch the sheeps, dammit!

I wouldn't mind the extra $500/month that I would get from working there though. I could use a new videocard for my PC. But think about it, if I'm working, would I have the time to enjoy what I've earned?

This blows. Also because I realised that I accepted the job partly because I know there's this hot girl that I know of who works there.

Man. I suck.
