Today, I went to my second interview at a job I was told I could get two weeks ago. I got there late and had trouble completing an applicant questionnaire because of store errors, but I was still allowed an interview. Thank God for forgiveness. With those out of the way, the biggest issue is my transportation. If hired, I will be getting a ride to and from work from family until I purchase my own car. Once I get my own car, this big issue will be resolved. Until then, my word to come to work each day I am assigned is both a promise and act of faith. I am going in tomorrow for a drug test and background check authorization. Also, I will attempt to get hours I can come to work which will most likely be in the late morning to afternoon and evening to night.
I got a referral from a manager to initially apply and two others are friendly with me. One of them offered to refer me to the hiring manager after we talked about bikes for twenty minutes or so. I think I will enjoy working with them. The manager I spoke with during my second interview said I would actually be better suited to management than the position I applied for based on my personality, but that business is not hiring management right now. If a management position becomes available, I might apply to test that recommendation.
Other than that, a storm suddenly appeared while I was at my volunteer job. There was some thunder that sounded like laughter to me. I know it is weird, but that is what came to mind when hearing it.
I downloaded Star Trek Online, but did not like it, so I deleted it after ten minutes of gameplay. I also downloaded Star Wars: The Old Republic. Supposedly, that game cost five hundred million (US) to make, so I expect an enjoyable experience with it. If not, I will feel sorry for the Bioware and the now-closed LucasArts. I think Electronic Arts would survive without any major damage. I gave Team Fortress 2 one final chance to impress me and I enjoyed it. I had to move to another room to do so, though. My room (Where I was playing the other day)is so far away from the router that there is not a good enough connection to play online in favorable conditions. It is the same with my PlayStation 3 and tablet, but my laptop has the best wireless connection out of the three at that distance. Because I like the comfort of my own room, I may invest in a wifi extender.
Japanese
I learned some Japanese yesterday. For the rest of the week, I will be focus on them for memorization purposes starting with two.
The structure of Japanese sentences differs from English sentences. English sentences are structured subject-verb-object. Japanese sentences are subject-object-verb. Object-subject-verb is also okay. As long as the verb is at the end of the sentence, the sentence is okay.
Example:
English: Luke invited MacLeod.
Japanese: MacLeod Luke invited. Luke MacLeod invited.
The way to know who invited who here is by placing particles after each noun phrase. The particle for the action performer is "ga" and the particle for the action reciever is "o." Both of the following Romaji sentences mean Luke invited MacLeod.
1. Ruuku ga Makuraudo o sasotta.
Taking a look at the structure of the sentence:
Ruuku (Luke) (topic) ga (subject-identifier/action performer) Makuraudo (MacLeod) o (action reciever) sasotta (past-tense of sasou=invited).
2. Makuraudo o Ruuku ga sasotta.
Taking a look at this sentence's structure, too:
Makuraudo (MacLeod) o (action reciever) Ruuku (Luke) ga (subject-identifier/action performer) sasotta (past-tense of sasou=invited).
Just so this is clear, I will say it again.
1. ga: subject-marking particle
2. o: direct object-marking particle
"Ga" and "o" are Japanese grammar. They have no English translation.
That is all for now.
