understanding people

between gaming, looking for work and reading new magazines, i found many different types of people that amused me, be it in writing or in person.

1) i called back to one of the shops that i was applying to, just nicely enquiring about how my application process went.

“hi i sent in a resume last week. i was just wondering how the application process is going and if i was selected.”

*smile smile smile*

“oh, our supervisor’s family member just passed away, so everything upper tier-ed related has been put on hold. i will ask her to give you a call when she comes back. that would take a few days though.”

O.o i understand about family situations and stuff. they always tend to come by suddenly, and it is really sad when someone passes away. but surely, someone would have been in charge if one of the upper tier people goes away, shouldn’t there be?

2) the past couple of weeks, i have been gaming on private servers for l2 and trying out rfonline. i play on kastien and titan for l2extreme, and they are both 35x servers. in a matter of 4 hours max i can get my characters (depending on classes too) to about lvl 56 or higher.

that should give you an idea on how easy it is to play it on that private server. because of that though, many problems arised. there are more players on that server than on the real servers now. that may also be due to the fact though that the real servers are harder to play and more hardcore, in the sense that losing stuff or xp in the game can be really punishing.

so you can imagine, coming from the real servers, to these servers, 35x rates is like a heaven.

then you meet those who have never played the real servers before and have only heard of certain terms and understand it in their own little ways.

“don’t ks!” says a mage.

2 minutes later, he’s kill stealing from someone else.

“it is mine! i kill fast so i wasn’t kill stealing!”

add that to the memory of over 1500 players per 35x server, that makes it over crowded in many places. kill stealing is unavoidable, but, on such servers too, no one seem to understand the concept of partying up. but to be such a whiner and bitchy person… good god.

and other things. people go red by pk-ing other players. if they died coz they got ganked while being red, yay, free items. big deal on a 35x server. but some vicious people had get their entire clan, mothers, fathers, grandparents on you and pk you over and over again. 10 zillion vs one. and they go “OWNED!”

hrm. guess what. no matter how much you pk me, i still own those items, i can still get the xp back in less than 2 mobs, + money + xp and you will still be the sore loser who had to get a thousand other people to own someone 20 lvls lower than u.

the e penis of the gaming world.

it grows ever larger.

3) i went grocery shopping yesterday for some stuff to cook today. i am slowly deciding to just buy enough for a few days, or just one day because i am afraid of spoiling food. so there i was, going to the supermarkets, and there was this cute little maltese puppy, all snowy white, a little windblown looking, but so cute!

and not leashed.

i have noticed for a time now that few australians leash up their dogs. even if they are 10 thousand times my weight, height and colour. ok scrape the last bit. the old man who owns her though, was calling out to her. however, bella was a small inquisitive little puppy after all.

10 minutes later, i walked out of IGA, hand full of coriander leaves, lemon squeeze and ginger flakes. and there was bella, strolling outside of flirty gorgeous… by herself. no old man nothing. she followed me for abit while i tried to pat her and find old man. old man was no where around. but i had to go home, so i pat her one last time and told her to stay.

and oh i looked back and there she was looking at me, sitting down with that sad face “oh why can’t i come along with you?”

then 2 mins later, i looked back, trying to see if old man perhaps was in the flatheads store, and there she was trying to cross the road to me. but a car came driving along and she quickly bounded back.

so, tell me, why don’t people leash up their dogs a little more often? i know it’s restraining on the dogs, but imagine if bella had come after me and got hit by the car. or if worse, he totally didn’t know where bella went. he was deep in convo with his friend and till i came along, he didn’t realise that bella was heading inside of iga.

poor bella. i wonder how she is now.

4) my boyfriend is so cute. i love to abuse him verbally and listen to him argue and whine back cartoonishly.

boy, am i evil.
