Again they promised rain! Well, about 10 little drops fell from the sky, but that's it! No rain AGAIN! Did someone break the first law of Elemental Magic and summoned water??!
Other than that: the meeting I had went okay. Didn't get the result I wanted, but did get a lot of information. Processing data... We'll see what we'll do with it. Everyone wants my 'talents', but none want to pay. Well, your loss then XP I give quality and nothing less. I'll look for someone who is willing to pay for quality!
Work was fine. I had 2 customers who said the system promised them an automatic e-mail and, brace yourself... they waited 5 whole minutes!! The outrage! 5 minutes... *le gasp* It's hard to NOT get sarcastic then XP
And last but not least, to a certain man, who told me I was overreacting: I TOLD YOU SO! XD *gives ice pack*

Tick, tock, tick, tock
Today was freaking hot again ¬¬. The KNMI, the National Weather Central Thingie of the Netherlands promised us rain, thunder, the whole nine yards and two more. What did we get? SUN! DRY! HOT! I want my raaaaain T_T
Other than that, I finished drawing Mayonaka's reference. I still have no idea where I put the perfect skintone marker *sighs*. I'm gonna put it together now; I hope I didn't forget a title of her XP She has so many!
Well, that was about it. Tomorrow a meeting for my company, so wish me luck!

Time, time!
It's a saturday, it's 10 am... and I feel like I haven't done a single thing! While in truth... I haven't done a single thing XP Well, did my online stuff and read a whole manga, ever since 9 am, but still... I miss Swimming Class already?! Gaaah!
Anyway, since I've been only up for an hour, I will go and spend my day drawing on my room. It will be hot though O.o Wish me luck!

Hysteria!
Well, not really, but at least it got your attention!
Yesterday was flippin' hot and I didn't even know my work had that many windows that could open O.o. Still, it wasn't enough but than again, compared to the place we were a year ago, this has been a massive improvement! Okay, it was still warm, but at least we had fresh air. Two thumbs up for the one who arranged the move! When he comes back from his vacation, I will let him know that ^_^.
We also decided to close early, because of the little work and too many people (there are more places than just ours). Just when we wanted to leave, someone called at the intercom. While that happens more often, the time surprised us. I could make a whole long drama filled story, but the shortest version is:
An angry customer decided to pay us a visit so he could scare us into getting things his way
My senior/collegue kindly denied him access, telling him we don't have facilities to receive customers; our customer service acts by phone and e-mail. He threw a tantrum and a hissy fit (which scared me, I'm not good with people who threaten me, or near me) but was fully denied access.
Later it turned out that he refused to pay for items he ordered, until he would get the last item he ordered. Ehm, if you go to a store, you have to pay for the items you take along, right? Even if one item is still in backorder. However, according to the customer, the order of 3 cd's can be compare with ordering a kitchen: you don't pay for your kitchen until you have everything you ordered.
Today the main office contacted him and I don't know how things went, but I hope the customer still has to pay XP. I think he has to, because there was no mistake we made whatsoever...
Other than that: Kitty hates ice creams on sticks. Especially the 'dubbel dekkers', where there's one big ice cream on two sticks. Halfway things were dripping already... it's THE reason why I prefer cones XP

Passing time...
Well, today I won't have to start work until 2 pm. It's 1.5 hours later than usual, but that's okay. That way I can finish 2 Pen-i's and get some decent lunch.
Last night I started on Mayonaka's reference, but I think I used the wrong colour marker; her skin is waaay to dark XP I will redraw that image and use another marker; comparing them. Why can't I recall which marker I used in the huge-big-family-drawing?! It's not like I have many brown markers ¬¬.
And I found out I hadn't put the cap on one of the markers correctly. Result: mostly dried out. Sucks, since it's a skin tone. Luckily I didn't really use that one XD But it's still a waste. Plus those markers aren't sold seperately. *sighs* Maybe when I've run out of most I have to switch to Copic, because they are sold seperately *sighs again* Downside: really expensive and only available in the town next to mine... plus they only have the Ciao, which I think are NOT refillable. Luckily I have time to decide.
Edit: Oooh, they ARE refillable!
Oh-oh-oh! My book went to the printer/presses yesterday! It's only a matter of days now!! YAY!!! *dances*
PS. I want presents XD Dunno why; just want them XP

Hungry...
I am sooooo hungry... *growl* But I have to wait till dinner time! Other than that: it's hot again today. I almost finished my today's to do list and thanks to my dad I even have 2 ideas for a pen-i =D After I've updated the website, I will start on that.
Tomorrow I can sleep late, because work won't start till 2 pm XP. A bit late, but ah well. Like it has any use to protest. We ALL need to work, but there is simply little to do (Economic Crisis).
Oh yeah, reminds me off, a customer: "I wrote this book 10 years ago and it's absurd someone sells this book for 14 euro's second hand/used, while it costed 30 guilders 10 years ago, new!"
I calculated it, but 14 euro's is about 31 guilders.... such a massive high price for a discontinued old second hand book ¬¬ Yeah... so absurd indeed...

Oh yeah... That's right...
I have a blog... well, my head is a bit chaotic tonight. I have so much to do, which I usually manage with ease... but my brain is not convinced.
Left to do:
Left to do:
- Neopets
- GaiaOnline
- FY episode (can be send later)
- FY Newsletter (just doing things in advance)
- ... if I can think of something: a Pen-i
- Filling in the form for an Open Air Galleria in September
Time needed? Estimated: 2 hours, if I put my shoulders underneath it (dutch expression). So let's get started!!

So, yeah
I was done early today, so I could do all my stuff and get home early. Yeah, that was fun. Freaking hot, but fun. And then I found out there was a new Haruhi Suzumiya episode. Gosh darnit - almost 15,000 times?! (story related thingie; watch and see!).
And now I'm doing stuff last minute again XP
I just never learn XD.
And that was about all XD Check out my gallery soon: http://kittyocean.deviantart.com/; new art coming up!!

Excuse me, reality?
Hello, Reality. Hello, Life. Hello, World.
May I have a word with you? I'd like to introduce you to a couple of friends of mine. Maybe you can visit them, because they seem to have never met you guys.
Like the one who keeps on dwelling in the past.
Or the one who can't take a compliment.
Or the one who thinks the Netherlands is filled with stupid people.
Or the one who thinks I could never understand the pressure he/she/it is under.
Or the one who believes an insane person over the words that come out of my mouth.
Oh wait, there's 2 people who are like that.
Or the one who thinks I don't see through his/her/its lies.
Or the one who never heard of the word 'thank you.'
Or the one who has never learned how to be grateful.
You see, I want to stay their friend, but I have this little nag for wanting something in return. A sense of reality. A bit of understanding. Being grateful for what I'm doing for that person. And accepting that what I say could be truth.
Truely, I love my friends, but these people (won't tell how much people I'm talking about) make it harder and harder for me to talk to them.
And just to be certain: I am NOT talking about my friend La Uum. She's always there for me. And so is Rocket Stevo. Those two are the best friends a person could wish. They listen to me when I'm having issues and do their best to make me happy. And in return, I try to give them the same back. Even if they have little time, they try to make time for me. Those few moments we spend together, being it online or in real life, are always precious.
Please take care of them, Life.
Please look after them, Reality.
Please protect them, World.
And if you find some time, do take a moment to kick some of my friends on their behinds. They so need to get to know you.
(If you think this rant is about you... I won't tell you if it is about you or not. Most of my friends are NOT like above, but if I name all those who aren't like this, the ones who are like this will find it out like that. Also, I have a LOT of friends, online and offline. Anyway, now you know what I 'expect' of my friends. It isn't much; honestly. If you think this is too much...)

Snooooooze
I'm so tired XD The last day of the Swimming Season; the last lessons... Though I'll miss the kids, I'll certainly will NOT miss getting up early on a saturday XP Another year passed, with only 1 minor accident (and the only result was a crying child, nothing more *phew*). And I made sure they won't miss me! MUAHAHAHAHA! They swam sooo hard XD And so much! I hope the kids who will go to the exam tonight will do their best. Gaaaah! I'm so nervous! Especially since I won't be there! Maybe for the best as well XP I'm almost so nervous XD Want to give them last minute tips etc.
Especially F. F. is a kid who has trouble controlling his body, but we couldn't keep him behind for a 5th time. He improved a lot ever since we had him (seriously, the day we got him, we thought: where the heck did he come from?!), but he sometimes misunderstand the assignment or loses the control of his motor skills (is that the word? Motoriek in Dutch). Lately he has been doing great and both the other teacher and I agreed he should go. I'm excited to find out how he will do! Good luck, F! We're already proud of you!
As a matter of fact, I'm proud of ALL the children I taught this year, whether they will have their exams this afternoon or not! See you again in the next year!!
