| I swear if my parents just let this one slide too.. I'm never coming back to the store again.. FORGET the so-called "raise", FORGET the doing it for your family pride guilt trip they already put me in... if it's that much more important for them to let my uncles do things the slow and incorrect way just because they're naive, or that they lack the common sense to let an EXPERIENCED person explain how to do it the RIGHT way.. they might as well just not count on me to make this business run efficiently either, or effectively at that matter. Nothing is worse than ruining the business because of certain people's stupid pride, knowing you can fix it, and the stubborness wins. I'm not gonna be a part of it if this is just gonna fall apart. No way in hell am I taking responsibility for their stupid actions.

| When things finally seemed like they were getting better, I've come to realize that it never did. The only reason why it seemed better was because we were across the world from one another. So I guess the only solution to our problems is.. I need to move.. not only out of this house.. but out of this country.. well.. maybe city.. but I can't be with my parents for more than an hour at a time anymore. This is freakin insane...

| What kind of loser goes furniture shopping, finds something he likes, pays for it in full, comes back a few days later with a girl who doesn't like what he had bought, and then goes "My girlfriend doesn't like it so I don't want it anymore. Give me a refund."
WHEN
It clearly states on the purchase agreement (that is posted in a PUBLIC place for PUBLIC viewing) that except for non-comforming goods (defective/damaged) items, ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE. It continues to say "Goods, excluding discounted goods, layaways, floor samples, special order goods and "out of town" good, returned within SEVEN (7) DAYS from date of delivery to Buyer will be compensated with STORE CREDIT provided the goods are undamaged, and the goods are accompanied by this invoice."
The reason for policies like that is because in this industry, it is unpredictable as to what the turnover rate for various "goods" are Some things we can resell right away, but other things might sit in inventory forever. So, instead of overstocking ourselves with unsellable items, we generally keep inventory low and order when necessary because it only takes a few days to get the "goods" in.
So we have already ordered the "goods" for the dude because he had paid for it already. No one forced him to pay anything in full up front. If he wasn't sure if he wanted it yet, he shouldn't have paid for it. OR If he was really desparate and wanted the "goods" in ASAP, he could have placed a deposit first, and paid the rest later, so that he would only lose the deposit instead of the full amount had he changed his mind.
So anyway, tells us to talk to the big boss to see what we can do, big boss says store credit only (because think about it, who in the right mind would make an impulse buy and furniture and expect all their money back if they change their mind.. we're not Walmart.. we don't necessarily sell everything that we have in stock.. it really hurts us when we have stuff just sitting there and we don't know when it'll sell). I call the dude to let him know the final verdict, and he says, "I am not happy with that. You will be hearing from my BANKER." I say, "Excuse me, who?" He says, "You'll be hearing from my BANKER shortly. I am not happy with the decision. Thank you for the call though." *click*
What is the BANKER going to do? It's not fraudulent activity, he bought something, and signed to authorize us for taking his money. If he doesn't want to pay his credit card bill.. isn't that... like.. on him? What he should have done was threatened us with a LAWYER, not a BANKER.. stupid!
Not that we did anything wrong or anything. I'm sure if we fought for it, most likely we'll win. But just the fact that hiring a lawyer and what not is so costly and such a hassle, at that point we would've just rather eat the loss and give him his money back. But no, he chose to go to his BANKER. LoL.. whatever...
So now.. we are waiting for the banker's call. Maybe when the banker laughs in his face he'll just suck it up and take his damn furniture and leave us alone. (Keep in mind that he really is in love with our stuff, it's just his GIRLFRIEND who wasn't too thrilled about it.)

| Lol.. Raven and I look the same..
So I've had a few complaints about not updating.. still don't really feel like anything interesting has happened since the last blog, but what the hell! For those who asked for it, here you go!
School - almost lost the easiest scholarship available to Nevada high schoolers, but at least I still have it. Pretty sure I lost my other one though. My GPA has gone to it's ultimate low, yet some family members still don't understand how much this new business is actually hurting me. Hopefully things will work itself out over the summer and I can be ready to pull that GPA up again.
Work - still sucks balls, but at least school is out so that's the only thing I have to concentrate on for now. Business is actually doing quite well, and I get along with one of my uncles just fine. It's just when all 3 bosses are here and they each have their own ideas and not enforcing any procedures.. really sucks balls.
Family - my uncle suckered me with the whole family pride speech and even dragged my grandmother into it. Something about grandma's old saying about doing whatever it is that makes you happy, so long as you never let people look down on what you do. I guess he has a point. I know I can't just sit there and let the business fail.. but still, shouldn't my POV and my well-being matter to them at least a little bit?
CKI - I still love every moment I spend working on things for this organization, but I'm starting to get discouraged again. Perhaps I'm not cut out to do this whole president ordeal again, but I really am trying. The club has so much potential, we just need more dedicated people to devote basically their entire life to this organization. I know it's tough when everyone is so caught up in getting that degree, but really, I don't know how else this club will grow without it. I need my board to participate in divisional and district events. They're not really feeling the true essense of CKI without the experience. But I am looking forward to the president's retreat and many other trips to Cali throughout the summer. Aside from the service, it's the fellowship that makes this club so much worth it.
Friends - feel terrible for not making time to hang out with each of them, but I'm happy to have been able to meet so many new ones this summer/year. I'm excited for the weird adventures we'll get ourselves into and hope that they do become a forever lasting relationship.
Boys - I can never figure them out. Nor can they figure me out. Life's just confusing that way, but it's also what makes it interesting. I've learned that even the older guys can be more immature than the younger ones. wth.. I'm tired of worrying about them though. Let them be the ones doing the worrying for a change. I need to get the rest of my life together first.
China - wish I could just stay there. All my trouble seem to just melt away while I'm there. Everything is so easy there.. no nagging parents, I get my freedom, I get good grades, everything is so cheap, and I can just enjoy life one day at a time. It's nothing like the city life we live here, where stress takes over and there is never enough time for anything. Someday.. I'll find that special someone, and share that dream life with him.
Sorry, no pictures to post from the trip. I really did a lot of nothing there.. but it was bliss...
*A computer geek should definitely help me with this web design/layout thing... my xanga's so dull.. bummer..*
