Ad Distraction

My usual FB ads consist of wanting me to be pregnant or getting married or both, most likely. Today, however, I stumbled across a different set of ads meant to stir up some sort of deep longing.

There are four ads, really.

1) I like dresses. This one, I will let slide since I have recently been browsing a lot of shoes and I keep clicking on those damn shoe ads that pop up on the sides.

2) I don’t know if this means I should go listen to “Rich Dad” or that FB thinks I have children and am male. Both of which is slightly disturbing to me. The only part of this ad I can even relate to on the smallest of scales is the fact that this guy looks Asian. Is THAT why it’s there??

3) I have never been interested in energy bars or health foods or anything.. is FB telling me I am growing fat and that I should take a hint? If not, then whoever is paying these ad algorithm people should waste their money elsewhere. If so, then holy shit FB is getting really scary.

4) I guess I am still a student and I am in the SD area. I am, in fact, paying SDGE bills but I’ve never had a problem about it! I guess this ad is just boring and just thrown out there because it has the highest probability to relate to different FBers.

In any case, I should really be getting back to that paper I need to start writing. Sigh.

Dream Job?

I recently started working at the Manchester Grand Hyatt here in San Diego and honestly, it’s wonderful. Even though I only run a concession stand (selling either ice cream or quesadillas - I know, random), the people make it more than great.

This is pure advertisement, but there’s no way one couldn’t love the Grand Hyatt - it’s the second biggest Hyatt in the world (second to Chicago’s Hyatt Regency) and it’s gorgeous with its high ceilings and seaport views. Besides, it’s right in SD downtown and right next to the Convention Center (where ComicCon is held!). AND you can make s’mores at night at the pool! :D

(I work at either of the red dots - come find me!)

I’ve also been picking up shifts as a greeter at Lael’s (one of their many restaurants) and even though I’m going to be working 11 hours tomorrow (two different shifts), I really don’t mind.

I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I finally have my foot in the door that is the hotel and hospitality industry or the usually fantastic weather in SD, but I’m really enjoying my time down here.

San Diego is actually becoming a possible permanent future place of residence. I’m still pining for Hong Kong, though - you’ll always be in my heart.

(My phone is refusing to connect to this computer so these pictures are all borrowed from the internets - tyvm, Google.)

Slater: Yo, Goldielocks. Drop the smirk. I know about your grungy tumble, and I’m sure it was the highlight of your diary, but it was during a pit stop in something real.
Britta: You were the pit stop. He used you to numb the pain of not getting with me. Jeff needs a girl who doesn’t just not wear underwear because Oprah told her it would spice things up. He needs a girl who doesn’t wear underwear because she hasn’t done laundry in three weeks. He’s been to flavor country now. They should retire the table we did it on!
Shirley: [overhearing and spitting her drink in shock] Table?!

Shanna Caldwell

For some odd odd reason, a woman (I’m assuming) named Shanna Caldwell has decided to use my email address as her t-mobile account contact. I’m not exactly sure how a person messes up her own email address, nor is it that easy to mix up my name with hers. And on top of that, I don’t even have a t-mobile account.

Although if she wants to send me a handset, that would be great too. I use a Blackberry Curve, Shanna. Thanks :)
