On Saturday, I applied for a job at Furnature Spot. I went in for an interview yesterday and at 5:30 I got a call saying that I had the job. Great! I’m nervous because I haven’t sold very much furnature before and I don’t really know a lot *at all* about it; I’m also concerned that I might find it a bit boring, but we’ll see. Whether I find it boring or not, I’ll do my best.
I also had an interview this morning for a position at Bedshed; not selling beds, but working in their Imports department. I’m 50-50 about whether the interview went well or if I was not what they were looking for, but I’m hoping I get this as it’s better pay and more varied than Furnature Spot.
Yesterday after my FS interview I was pretty sure I’d get that job, so I bought Wario Land: The Shake Dimension. It’s quite a lot of fun with the shaking and tilting the remote, and I enjoy it. Some of the animation is funny; like when Wario lands after swinging on a horizonal bar and he raises his arms in a “ta-da!” way :-) And when he scratches his bum on the level select screen.
The game is probably a little bit easy. I’ve played through three of the five areas and I only got the game yesterday. The bosses weren’t too difficult to dispatch, although the third one looks quite complicated. Still, I’ve dropped at least four hours on the game so far and done 41% of the levels (and only 3% of the ‘missions’, where you have to collect say 35,000 coins, or make it through a level without dying, or detonate all the bombs in the level). So it could be a stayer.
I also bought a Wii Points card. I downloaded the game Helix, which I’m loving. There’s some great dance music, and it’s a really good workout for your arms. If you haven’t looked at the game yet, go to the Nintendo Channel and check out the video.
I’m also in the process of downloading Super Mario 64. I only ever played the first stage of that game on a computer that was really too slow to emulate an N64 :-D With an actual controller and at playable speed, I might have more success. In any case, I’ve dropped $17 on it, and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it more than Wild West Guns. My Wii is actually running low on space!
