Score!

I got a really cool surprise when I checked the mail today: my Mew DS (which I laid claim to most loudly) was sitting with the rest of the mail.

It's in pretty good shape, for a used game system. I just need to bust out my DS starter kit, which is sitting in a layaway, and find the Mew DS top cover (doink, found it, thanks be to Prime for braving a box forest) I ordered from the Pokémon Center and I'll be ready. Ready to wait for the next six months to pass so I can get my hands on Diamond and Pearl...or more accurately, whichever of the two I will actually play, as Prime will get the other.

Things seem pretty quiet on the job front. My transfer is now in motion. I have no idea when everything will be finalized. It may take a bit; I'm one of a large group of associates who are trying to transfer out. No one enjoys their jobs anymore.

We are hemorrhaging associates. We are down 30 cashiers, have fewer people on the sales floor and in ICS, and the management is now trying like hell to hire new people. Not that they'll last. New associates never last more than a few weeks.

Oh well, enough of the downer. I'm going to admire my DS.

--Weasel, thinking of getting a few DS games to help ease the pain of waiting. Trozei, Nintendogs, maybe Magnetica for Prime if he's good...
