osarabaAt 10:55 this morning, Amirha (the "new girl") called to leave a message for the bosses: she received another job offer that was better for her and had accepted. ...and there goes another one.
At 11:05 this morning, the bosses came in and I broke the news. They weren't surprised. So it's back to just the four of us. That just means more hours (and more money) for us. No problem! Of course, come February they're going to need someone again.
Other disappointing news: you won't believe this! Angelica and I got back into Queens around 2pm this afternoon, we stopped at the post office and ate at Wendy's. Then we stopped by her house to drop something off and pick something up, then we stopped by my house to do the same.
So we finally got to the Q20A bus stop at 4pm to wait for the bus that would take us to Anime Castle's warehouse. Our bus didn't come until 4:30. We got on and (luckily) got a few seats, because at the next stop 500 million people got on and there were no seats left. Around 15 minutes later, we got to the intersection of Main Street and Kissena Blvd. It's a horribly busy intersection, where about 10 (or more) different buslines sort of intersect. Of course, it was this day, at this time, that a water main break occurred and a man-hole cover decided to explode. So what would normally be about a half-hour ride took about an hour and twenty minutes! The warehouse was supposed to close at 6pm and there we were still on the bus (although finally moving) at 5:30pm! I think we got to the warehouse (after walking about 6 blocks in the cold) at 5:55!
And after all that... they didn't have the freaking shirts we went there specifically to buy! And they said they didn't know when they'd get more in stock! ::bangs head against brick wall::
What a waste!
So I bought a Chobits' Sumomo plushie to make up for it. It was just too adorable! ^_~ She's going on my wall underneath my Yuki and Kyou (from Fruit Basket) plushies.
Can you believe all that rushing around, and worrying that we wouldn't make it, for nothing?! And it would be different if the website indicated that there were no T-shirts in stock, but we hadn't checked -- but the site doesn't indicate that! It's sooooo unfair!
The only thing that brightened my day (besides the Sumomo plushie) was that I, too, received a Christmas card from Sharon! わいわいわい～！ Wow, it was completely unexpected, and soooo sweet! (Thank you, Sharon!)
