   My medical training? I played Trauma Center for 16 hours straight.
Work= ick. D: They had me dusting today, and I already have a minor cold, so when my allergies flared, it made it worse. Sales associate =/= cleaning crew. They really need to hire a good handful of maintenance people for reals. And the District Manager came in today and...well...let's just say it didn't go well. Hence the dusting to please the DM. But, I got to chat with one of the girls in electronics and we had some laughs. That's part of the reason I haven't quit yet-- the people are really friendly and we get along rather nicely for the most part.

Just a touch more bellyaching, I promise. I can't find any satisfactory cases for my little Zen. It's all naked and cold and sad and getting scratched. D: I guess I'll have to settle for the least terrible case. That's what I get for choosing quality over popularity. Secondly, the last two weeks before Spring Break are gonna suuuuck. Projects, midterms, papers...ick! And I'm probably going to be full-blown sick by then.

In news actually related to anime (what, I still do that?), I finally got around to watching Le Chevalier D'Eon at Bellpickle's suggestion. It's a really, really cool series. It's set during the reign of King Louie XV in France. It definitely has one of those vibes about it that make you think 'This'll seriously be a series with a lot to say and a lot to make you think.' Even if it doesn't deliver on that end, there's a good deal of action and intrigue. And it's pretty. Very pretty. You can see the trailer here (it's the high-res, Windows Media Player format trailer; check the ADV website for other formats and qualities). If you live in the U.S., you can download the first episode for free here. Why no love for other countries? I have no idea (maybe it has to do with the kind of license they have or maybe price differences across countries?), but if you're interested, you can probably find it by other means. :3

Le sigh. I guess I should sleep. I have to go back to work tomorrow. (I closed tonight, but I open tomorrow. Logic fail, anyone?)
