I DID IT! I GOT THE JOB!!!

I got my offer letter today, and I go in on Saturday to fill out my new hire paperwork, I start training on Tuesday. I am now a NexGen Wireless/Sprint Assistant Store Manager. I will be able to pay off my car, and save for my move, and help pay for Dollism, and GET MOAR DOLLIES!! XD

Awesome!! Way to go!

[Qrinta]

Yay! Congrats! ^_^

I got to unbox my DC Sexta today after having delicious banana cream pie (I prefer pie to cake on my Bday) He is awesome! Even got him to stand for a bit in his box on my totally unstable bed. XD

Congrats on the new job (and handing in your notice at the old one). Very very cool news!

[SetsunaKou]

Congratulations, OkamiKodomo-san!! :hugs: I'm so happy for you!!!


And....today was the Volksusa blow-out clearance sale and whew! It was a mad dash!! At exactly 2 PM EST, I quickly rammed as many dolls into my cart as possible. I managed to add 75 dolls at 90% off!! (I.E. Getting $185 dolls for $18.50 each or $64 dolls for $6.40 each!!!) I did it as quickly as I could but guess it wasn't quite fast enough as when I clicked 'order now', they informed me that 20 of the dolls I'd ordered were sold out in that time. (Within 6 minutes!) The biggest loss in these 20 were the 6 'Takeru' Neo Goh Guy dolls that were just $3.90 each!!!! I didn't end up with any! :cries: Imagine Neo Goh Guys for $3.90.....

My sis kept telling me to check out with just the Takerus in the cart, but I was like, 'let me just add a few more to save on s/h....' and after 6 minutes of grabbing dolls, I lost all 6 Takerus!
ARGH....
That's painful but at least I got 55 other dolls at 90% off!

The bad news is that ALL the custom hair heads were already gone and all the blank doll bodies, too.
The only items left at all were the 'finished' dolls, so those were what I ended up with. I managed to order 10 anime headed dollfies; 2 sculpted/molded hair dollfies; 15 Kana/Mami WTG? dollfies; and 28 Century Model/HaniKami dollfies.

It's a lot at once, (too much!) but it's 90% off! We rely on Volks and Obitsu parts for our commission work, so losing Volks completely now is a big hit. I'd rather they DIDN'T have this big clearance closeout sale, actually, so we can continue to count on them to buy custom hair heads, etc from when needed! Once my stock of heads is depleted, we won't be able to obtain any more Volks heads now!

Hopefully, Volks.co.jp will still be offering them for a while but it's bad that we haven't as many choices for customizations. ^^;; :sighs:

Well, this is the Rejoice thread, though, and I'll focus on the fact I just managed to get quite a few dolls at a HUGE discount! ^^ I plan to get some of the upfront costs back by selling their outfits which we don't want/need.

[OkamiKodomo]

Thank you everyone! I just finished my first day at the new job, and I think I'm going to like it. Met two of my coworkers, and they're chill guys. The only downer I had was my old boss getting his last licks in, with changing me to demo shifts, instead of lead shifts, but I only have five more working days with him, and three of those won't be with him at all. It's going to be good money, and an enjoyable environment. No more freezing cold/overheated warehouse, no more concrete floors, no more food splatters on my clothes, no more lifting cases of frozen goods, no lifting bulkhead doors to giant walk-in coolers and freezers. Wow, when I list it all out, no wonder I wasn't satisfied...

[AmberRose]

I did not realize the volks blowout was today I tried to add wigs, heads and clothing and dolls no such luck all gone. but I managed to get 2 hats for my tinies from the 1/6 boys lines and a few pairs of eyes.

[victoriavictrix]

I hope you'll offer those outfits here first, SetsunaKou!

[MeltedCaramel]

Congrats Okami!! I'm so happy you have a job that you think you'll enjoy!! Good riddance to the old boss too. Some people just should NOT be in charge of other people. I call it "mall cop syndrome"! I'm glad you've had an amazing few days though sweetie!!

Also, Setsuna, congrats on what you DID manage to snatch up! I completely missed the sale!! *SOBSOB*

Well, since this is the rejoice thread.....erm....my mother is completely willing to go to the hospital and rip some ER doctors a new one? A parent who will fight to the death for their adult child is a rare gift. I rejoice that I have a parent like that. I don't know what I would do without her at my side.

Haha! You don't know my 78 year old mother! She's still a momma bear when it comes to me and my daughter.
