I still hope to win the lottery...

Gonna make this short and sweet. No time for long posts. I got that part-time job. We're calling it overtime, though.

Yay!

And also, what the hell did I just do???

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*



*headdesk* *headdesk*



BTW, you know how a normal person's first thought after getting a second job would be: great, more money for food and bills? Mine was: Yay! I can buy more photo ops for VegasCon!!! *sigh* It's not easy being a conoholic. Or cheap.

If you ignore it, it will fall into your lap

I've been looking for a part-time job for the last two and a half years. OK, maybe 'looking for' is too strong a word. I admit it, I wasn't really looking all that hard for the last year. What can I say. It was a combination of giving up coz there were no part-time jobs here and OMG, my day job is going to suck the life out of me! With a touch of procrastinative laziness.

But it looks like I finally found one.

Or more precisely, it kinda fell into my lap. 

Took me a week to realize it. Oh yeah, so quick on the uptake. *smug*


Last Monday a coworker told me that we don't have enough subtitlers and that the boss is looking for new people. Asked me if I knew someone for the job and I said no. And as soon as I turned around to go home, I forgot about it. Honest to God, it took me a week to remember that conversation and to realize that I actually do know someone who could do the job. Guess who. *rolleyes*
In my defence, I was in the middle of translating Woody Allen, and had four days to finish two really long movies and some stuff that was left from the week before because of somebody else's screw-up. And four days were a really unrealistic deadline for everyone who is not a robot. I mean, I can work 12 hrs/day for a day, maybe two, but not four. Pretty sure I'd be yelling Pudding! (with or without pants around my ankles) a lot if I ever tried that. And as much as I like pudding, no, thank you. Anyways, I finished everything on Sunday around 10 pm and OMG, I could finally relax. And it suddenly hit me. Oh hey! I need a part-time job. My boss is looking for more people. Match made in heaven? (Or, more likely, purgatory?) Sure, why not.

Long story short, I sent an e-mail asking if I could take two weeks off around New Year to my boss. And in the same e-mail offered my part-time services. lol We'll see what she'll say. Fingers crossed.

In a nutshell

Basic info on the cons I'm attending. When, where, who, how much...


Las Vegas 2013

JIB 2013

Creation CONtest

We have a chance to win two Gold passes for a con of our choice. *grins like a conoholic*
I know who my favorite guest is, but I still don't know which con I'll choose when I win. Yeah, OK, if. If I win. Killjoys. :p

 

 

 

My tweet:

 

 

 

O Money Tree, O Money Tree, Your branches green delight us!

I have to say this. If I ever pay 6010 € for one pass, I'm taking one of the guests with me when the con is over. Because, OMG! 6010 €! For 1 pass! I'm a conoholic and I wouldn't be able to justify paying that much. Cause, let's face it, if you pay 6010 € for one pass, you're basically paying 3790 € for a chair. Yes, that chair is in the front row, but still. Just. A. Chair.

The BurCon Experience - Day 5 (Sunday)

You know what they say. Pics or it didn't happen. See? Pics. So it did happen. *nods*

(BurCon was months ago which means that I probably forgot 80% of what happened. Let's see how much I remember.)

First thing today was breakfast. Started at 7:45 am. Yes, let's pretend ppl can eat so early in the morning. Anyways, I think Jared was late? So Jensen had to brave the stage alone. That was followed by Jensen, Jared and Jensen & Jared photo ops. And yes, a hug from behind is a much better photo op pose for me than a real hug. :(

 

 

Next thing on the schedule: panel with Jim Beaver and Richard Speight Jr. This photo of Richard is definitely one of my better ones. lmao

 

 

At 1 pm it was time for the best panel of the day. :D Somebody obviously knows Js very well so they got their own special chairs. Awwww. lol

 

There are some things no one should have to see. So, you're welcome.

I have absolutely no idea what he was doing. lol

 

At the end of the panel we had that announcement about the donation for St. Jude's. (Which Jared and Gen matched. :))

Sunday was March 4, which means that it was 3 days after Jensen's b-day. So, of course, he got a b-day cake and a very beautiful rendition of ♫ Happy birthday to you ♫. :D (You can see and hear everything in my video on YouTube. I didn't sing. You're welcome.)

After all that, we got their autographs and at 4 pm it was time for Madison McLaughlin's panel. Last panel of the day and of the con. Somewhere between 5:15 pm and 6 pm I bought my ticket for next year (for Vegas) and that was it. End of the con. Time for my post-con blues to kick in. :(

 

Funny thing (as in not funny at all), I was going back to my room and just as I reached the elevators my eyes started tearing up (I have absolutely no idea why). Apparently my tears were really salty that day and my eyes started burning and it hurt like hell. TG there was no one in the elevator and in the hallway. I mean, you all know what happens to makeup when you start crying. It was NOT a pretty sight. And when I finally got to my room I couldn't even wash my eyes. I had to remove the makeup first. Pure torture.

lol I looked like this:

 

 

On the bright side, we didn't have to wait in line two hours to get our JPEGs. That's cause we didn't get them at all. Chris decided to send JPEGs few days after the con. :(

 

 

 

Perfectly logical

Creation moved LAcon to Burbank and then BurCon to Vegas. And now they added a new con in, wait for it, Burbank! Then why the hell did they move BurCon to Vegas in the first place if they are now going back to Burbank again? Where's the logic in that?
