• I started work on Monday in the GT Irvine office.


• My training group of 7 for the Southern California region were assigned our laptops that day at 3:30 PM. It's not as great as it sounds now because it means that work follows you home. >_<;;


• My schedule for most of the week in Los Angeles requires me to wake up at 5 AM to start my day and leave the office at 7 PM. I get home at about 8:15 PM, eat dinner, shower and sleep before 11 PM. Thus, I have very little Internet/free/me/any time.
  
• But alas, GT treats the new hires well (a.k.a. pays for our gasoline + parking + lunches). Some seniors and associates took us out to lunch on our first day where the bill came to $500 for 10 of us. And even today, they paid for our $200 total [premium] sandwich lunch. Now, this I could get used to. ^_^;;


• I can't dress anymore conservative than I already do at this point. I am a mirror of the office standards it seems: slacks + dress shirt + heels + bag + portfolio + huge computer bag with laptop. I blend right in. Unfortunately, they only realize that I'm clueless and new when I can't find the break room or bathroom.


• This seems like very much an adult-filled world


• I got assigned to my first client already. I start Monday in Santa Ana.


• It is a 50 hour workweek. (My life is gone.)


• At the end of the day, I admit that I sort of sigh and wonder, "I just barely graduated from college. Am I ready for this?

[5]Where did the characters Candy and Heart come from?

W: A combination of things, really.

Candy to me is just a general sweet lolita and a few of her qualities are ones that I admire or want myself: she has corkscrew curls most of the time because they are my favorite hairstyle, red hair since I’d like it, and freckles because the general consensus there is that they are cute.

Heart has the sort of elegance and refinement that I admire in the gothic lolita fashion, both in her poise and features. I gave her the hime haircut because I really do like it, and it seems to be perfect for that fashion. Her hair color fluctuates between a dark chocolate or black because I have trouble distinguishing black hair from black clothes when coloring, and I’m not too entirely fond of the traditional blue streaks.
