Of no particular findings :(

Spoke with my older sister regarding the whole family tree matter; best advice is to contact the relatives.
I did come across a genealogy for the first C***** to come to Zacapa (which is where my father was raised, as well as his father before him). Also found other junk which is likely to lead to a dead end. *le sigh*


Anywho, Patapon 2 is coming out in Japan this week. PON PON PATA UNF :>
Unfortunately, I still have to pay for new textbooks for the next semester. Seriously, WTF? I'm going to be working in a cubicle by the end of next year (I presume). Will textbook-knowledge really be applied when I'm writing a memo to Accounting to send my department more money for stamps? No. God, I hope not.

Nonetheless I can't afford "luxuries." 7-11 is hiring though... And it's only minutes away from my house, really. Starbucks, in City Centre, wants staff too. And I'd really like to get a free bag of coffee every week.

Or maybe I'll try MacDonalds! They're always hiring, and I've always wanted to see if working fast food is the equivalent of going straight to hell.

My best friend worked at Starbucks for a while and really liked it. It was busy all of the time but ours is also located in a tourist hub, which explains that. I kind of-sort of worked there too, at the cafe in our local Barnes & Noble. Once you learn the different drinks and stuff, it can be a lot of fun even when it's jammed. :D

Having spent a grand total of about 5 days at McDonald's before bailing, I can't say I'd suggest that job unless it's the last one available. Most likely it was just the location where I was working, but I'd rather jump headfirst into a volcano than go back to that job.

I find a busy environment is actually preferable. Assuming I hate a job for instance, the shift is over with quickly and easily forgotten. And if it's enjoyable, well, the effort easier to put in.

Then I definitely think you'd like Starbucks. Even on the days when it wasn't so great, it still went quickly. Plus they pay better than McDonald's...
