Mar. 31st, 2026 06:02 amThat interview I mentioned yesterday was scheduled for 12, but the bus I arranged brought me to the mall itself at 10, only one hour earlier than I intended.
During my previous visit, one store I visited, Francesca's, was going out of business, and I could tell from there that it would not be accepting job applications. I started this visit off by heading over there to ask someone inside if they knew what was slated to replace it, but she didn't seem to know. (For next visit, it's situated between Aldo and Journeys Kidz, and across from Rumi Life.)
Managed to fill the rest of that first hour in by visiting f.y.e., Kawaii, and Newbury Comics.
The first of those places actually has its anime DVDs recompiled in a different spot, although there are still a few stragglers. (Didn't buy anything there, or anywhere else.)
At Kawaii, I took a picture each of two brunette-girl figurines, and sent them to Uguu Blue. The store clerk identified one of them on his phone as Chizuru from Rent-a-Girlfriend, but was unable to find the other.
And, not much happened at Newbury.
-
11 was the opening hour of this car-themed restaurant called Ford's Garage (even things like the door handles and restroom equipment are styled after car-related objects such as gas nozzles and tires, and the menu and stuff uses related terminology), the first place I asked last time for an application sheet, directly bordering the food court I entered the mall through.
Ordered a Ford's Signature burger and some truffle fries for lunch, and a brookie sundae for dessert.

During my interview, I mentioned having checked the company website and seeing it to specialize in Chinese food, and asked why it labeled itself as Korean. Andrew told me that the latter had fallen through somehow.

At Barnes & Noble, I managed to read a few pages of The Fed-Up Office Lady Wants to Serve the Villainess, but then my phone rang to alert me to my upcoming ride home. Even though I did send a note through the app to pick me up in front of that store's entrance, Mom had still advised me to make sure that it does arrive there instead of near the food court where it normally dropes me off, by the time my phone alerts me to its arrival, and I spent all following 15-20 minutes watching out the window to make sure of that. Sure enough, it did.
