The personal bit is behind the cut, so you don't have to read it.



First, here are some interesting advertisements I found when looking through the classified pages in the local newspaper:

Decontamination Plant
Operator: Rotating shifts, week-
ends/holidays. Journey-person level,
mechanical experience/plumbing
(steam 10-125#). General mainte-
nance of sewage decontamination
plant/related equipment (pumps,
holding tanks, heat exchangers, re-
tention tube units, steam heaters, in-
strument panels). Ability to obtain
government security clearance. Com-
petitive wages/benefits. ...

Driver: To share driving across
country. Leaving ASAP. Non-smok-
er, clean driver's license. ...

Needless to say, I've put in my application for the decontamination plant.

More honestly: I think I've got employment for the summer! In a respectable establishment! That sells all kinds of fascinating things, such as insect-like robots and square parasols!

The lady at the store said that she would have me work from 12 to 3 both tomorrow and Sunday, to see how well I can deal with customers; if everything works out, I'll have myself a part-time job. The owners of two other stores in the area seemed to like my resumé, and both promised to get back to me within a week, so I may very well be able to get two jobs within walking distance of each other. It's something of a stretch, but I'm hoping for it.

Finally, I'm at a loss as to what to do with these two icons. The one with Clow and Yuuko just looks...unfinished, and Sakura's eyes look like something out of a ridiculously sappy shoujo manga. Also, do the flower petals look like flower petals, or something else entirely?

Any help would be appreciated!
