I may be made full-time at the store soonish, since A. has found another job with better health benefits. Full-time work 1: pays better (both because of increased hours and increased hourly wages), 2: has actual health benefits (minimal though they may be, it's better than going uninsured and betting that I won't get sick or have serious accidents), and 3: carries more responsibilities, and would thus look better on my resume.
Anyway, nothing is certain yet, but I have my fingers crossed!

Also, I have read vols. 1-17 of X/1999, and oh my GOD, that's depressing. It's pretty, it sucked me in, it made me spend several hours pondering some awkward philosophical/ethical questions, and I think I have fallen in love with Subaru and Seishirou for the twisted beauty of their relationship (or non-relationship; whatever), but still, my overwhelming impression is OUCH. Ouch, ouch, and just ouch.
CLAMP really like to go after readers' heartstrings with a chainsaw, don't they?
