Buying an iPad Pro 12.9!

Time for work again. This is starting to

get a bit boring. Same old thing every

day.

I don't know if it's going to get easier.

Is it going to get— well, I guess it's

going to get even more boring, isn't it?

The more I get used to the job. I really

want to get used to the job. I don't like

having to ask people all the time what I

have to do now, or having to wait for

people to tell me what to do. I wish I

could just know what I have to do. I

should really know what, what I have to do

without being told by now because it's

been a few weeks, but I'm still a bit

unsure about a few things, like the

timings of things, like when do I do what,

which order to do things in.

So boring.

It's a strange smell in the air.

Everywhere's wet. Was it raining? Hasn't

rained for a long time. Everywhere looks

kind of strange, like just rained.

I just had a pretty good shift, no

problems. It was just me and the

Bangladesh guy. The Nepal guy, he left,

uh, after— just before midnight. So it's

just the two of us, and I was in charge of

doing the cooking. It was nice.

It was nice to be able to just do the

cooking without having that Nepal guy

standing behind me breathing down my neck.

Oh look, it's the moon! It's the moon!

The moon stays out so early now. We just

gotta get past this bit. This, this place

is a huge factory. That's why there's so

many cars coming out. And this is the

entrance. When we get past the entrance,

go down this dark little road. Should be

no cars, hopefully.

It's just so strange. It's like almost

pitch black, but the birds are singing and

you can see the moon and the sky is

starting to get light. This is such a

strange feeling. I've never woken up in

the morning before. When I had no job, I

always woke up at like 11 AM 12

PM, midday.

This house looks nice. I like the way the

houses glow orange in the darkness.

Something cozy about it. Look at it, it's

just glowing there, all orange. So I guess

it's only going to get darker in the

mornings, isn't it? Because winter's

coming. Winter's coming.

Soon it'll be— it'll still be dark at like

7 AM, right? And it's gonna be freezing.

I'm not looking forward to it. Right now

it's the end of September, so it's still

kind of summer, like the end of summer,

so it's not too cold. I'm not looking

forward to winter walking down this road

at 6 AM. It's gonna be bloody freezing.

Anyway, we have good news. I'm getting

paid tomorrow. It's not going to be a full

month's pay because I've only been— I've

only worked for about 2 weeks really, if

you include all the days off I had. So she

said, um, the manager said that she's

gonna leave me cash in the office

tomorrow. Is that a car? Oh, for fuck's

sake.

What was I saying? Yeah, the manager said

she's gonna leave cash for my pay tomorrow

because it's not enough to make a bank

payment, and it's only gonna be like 2

weeks worth of pay. Well, that's fine.

That's a lot of money to me. I was on

benefits, JobSeeker's Benefit, for like— I

don't even remember— 4 years, and I

get Wait, one week's pay at my job

is more money than you'd get from one

month's worth of Jobcentre. So for me, 2

weeks of pay is a lot of money. 600 should

be— I'm guessing it'll be about 500 to

600. If it's less than 500, I'm gonna be a

bit disappointed because I feel like I've

worked a lot. I'm not sure when they start

counting. I'm pretty sure they have to

start counting from the first day I

started. Anyway, it's confusing because,

you know, when you first start a job, you

usually have to wait at least a month

before you actually get paid. But everyone

gets paid at the same time at this place,

uh, 23rd of the month, and the portal guy

said. So it's

unfortunate it's cash because I won't be

able to use it. I'm gonna have to ask my

dad to order something on Amazon, and then

I'll give him the cash. This is good

because currently Amazon is like rejecting

all my card payments because I kept trying

to order stuff and I'm in minus negative

balance right now. So I'm gonna ask my dad

if he can order me something. I'm not sure

what I'm gonna order yet. I'm thinking

about an iPad Pro. iPad Pro's got me

really excited. I know usually I don't

like buying Apple products because they're

overpriced and you can get better Android

products, but for tablets, I still think

Apple has the best tablet. I mean, what

else is there? There's the Tab S2 Samsung,

which is good, I guess, but the thing

that's drawing me to the iPad Pro is the

Apple Pencil. I'm really interested in

getting back into drawing. Starting a new

webcomic because it just feels like a

waste not to be doing a webcomic. When I

was seriously doing a webcomic, I used to

make like £2 a month. I know it's pretty

rubbish, but it all adds up to AdSense

revenue. And if I could make at least £2 a

month doing webcomics, I think it would be

worth it in the long run. I don't know.

There's a lot of other stuff I could do

with an iPad Pro anyway, like video

editing. I could even make videos on it,

I guess, if the camera is good enough. I

don't really know what else I'd do with

it. I guess just Facebook and other

websites. But when I say

it like that, it seems to be like a waste

of money to spend— what is it, £450 for

the cheapest iPad Pro? I guess I'm just

drawn to shiny things, the latest things.

You want to see the moon? You want to see

the sky? Where's the moon? There it is.

It's so pretty. It's so pretty.

So yeah, I'm gonna decide tomorrow if

I want to get an iPad Pro first Or a Sony

A5000 first, and I'll ask my dad to order

it, I guess, and then give him the cash

from my payslip, which should be waiting

for me tomorrow. So yeah, exciting,

exciting stuff. Look, he's waiting.

He's always waiting for me now because he

knows I'm gonna give him food when I get

home. Oh, so sweet. Where's the

Oh, I'm sorry, like 5 minutes of my video

is in pitch dark now. It's because I'm

walking home and I have things to say and

I'm just trying to make use of the time

really. What are you doing?

Are you hungry? You wanna eat food?

You wanna eat some food?

Um, this is worrying. I just woke up and

checked my bank account and it said there

was a £15 cash withdrawal from my account,

and I definitely didn't make that because

I was sleeping. So I phoned the bank. I

was on the phone the whole morning and And

he said I might have opened a savings

account by accident and had put £15 into

it. I don't remember. I remember there was

like a pop-up on the Nationwide website.

It said, would you like to open a savings

account? And I might have pressed OK to

have a look. I didn't know it actually

opened one for me, and I don't remember

putting £15 on it. It's kind of a bit

worrying. I don't know if someone's taking

money out my bank account. I don't know

how they would. Because my bank account's

in my room. I don't know if they got my

card details somehow and they can take

money out that way. I guess we'll find

out. So the bank just phoned me. They said

they found out what that £15 cash

withdrawal was. I sent my friend some

money, like just £5, over a SWIFT payment

just to test it out, just to see if her

bank details were right and it was working

properly. And I knew that there was a £20

charge to do this. I know, pretty

expensive. But I didn't know there was a

second charge of £15 that her bank would

charge me for sending the money. Ah, so

much, so much. So the charges and fees are

so expensive. So I've had to pay a total

of £35 in fees just to send £5.

It's crazy, isn't it? But I feel a lot

better now. I was so worried. I thought

someone, someone's seen my card number and

they've been taking money out. But no, it

was just me. It was just me wasting my

money again. So glad that's all sorted

out. Now we need to decide, do we want an

iPad Pro or a new camera? Ah, so,

so many choices to make. So difficult.

Just having such a hard time right now

trying to decide if I want an iPad Pro.

I've already decided I've wanted— I want

an iPad Pro, but now I have to decide if I

want the 12-inch version or the 9-inch

version, which is a bit smaller.

I did try out the 12-inch version in

Taiwan. My friend's sister had one and it

was really nice to use, but it was huge.

It was really big and you kind of have to

have it resting on your lap or on the

table. You can't like hold it with one

hand and use it. It's just too big and too

uncomfortable. So I'm not really sure

yet. I guess I'd mostly use it on my

lap. Like, I'd sit down and I just sit

back and have it on my lap, and I could

use the pencil for drawing.

Um, but it's a bit more expensive for the

12-inch version. It's about— I think it's

about £200 more expensive.

£600 for the 12-inch version,

and it's about £500 for the

9-inch version, so it's about £100 price

I'm not sure, I really want to order one

tonight and then hopefully get it this

weekend. It won't come tomorrow, there's

no— there's not many people selling it on

Amazon right now. Look, if I look on

Amazon right now for iPad Pro All

I can find is— okay, there's one here.

They're being sold by private sellers,

not, not on Amazon Marketplace, so I

don't know when it's gonna arrive. It

depends on when they, when they post it.

£607, see?

IPad Pro tablet, 128 gigabytes. Oh,

this is a 9.7 inch.

Where is it? 9.7, 9.7.

12.9 inch, £649 new,

but that's only 32 gigabytes of space.

So hard to find what I want.

I'm not sure, maybe I should just get the

9.7-inch version. I mean, 9.7 is

still pretty big. 12 inches— 12 inches is

just too big, isn't it? It might be really

uncomfortable to use even for drawing.

I'd have to have it resting on a table the

And it would be really difficult to carry

I'm gonna go for the 9.7-inch. Okay, I

just changed my mind again, didn't I? And

then I have to worry about storage. Do I

go for 32GB or do I spend a bit extra and

get the 128GB? Then do I really need

128GB? Wouldn't 32GB be enough? I don't

really store that much stuff. I upload

photos straight to Instagram and then I

delete them, so I don't need storage for

photos. Same goes for videos. I upload it

to YouTube and then I delete it. So do I

really need that much space? I don't

really play games. The only games I play

is Clash Royale. That's it, really. I

don't play anything else. What else?

So I'm guessing 32 gigabytes should be

enough for me. I'm not going to be storing

huge amounts of photos or movies or

videos. Um,

it's tricky, tricky stuff, this whole

shopping stuff, this whole shopping thing.

Found a really good one. Look at this,

look at this, this one. Um, iPad Pro 9.7,

32GB storage, £490,

Prime delivery. You can get it— I can

get it tomorrow if I order within the next

2 hours and 24 minutes. The problem is I

can't order it. I have to wait for my dad

to come home so I can order it on his

account. It's 5 o'clock

right now. My dad usually comes home at 6

o'clock. So we've got a 2-hour window

to order it. I just hope my dad comes home

on time like he usually does. Sometimes he

comes home a bit late because he goes food

shopping. This is so— oh, what should I

do? Because he'll come home at 6,

and then that'll leave 1 hour 20 minutes

to actually order it. And I don't know,

he might, he might not even order it for

me. He might say no. I'm pretty sure he's

gonna say yes because he's gonna say yes

because I can just give him the money,

the cash that I'll get tonight when I go

to work. My payslip should be waiting for

me. So should I just get this one?

£490, 32GB,

and Prime delivery. The 128GB

version is,

is £670, and I could get it tomorrow.

£670, that's a lot more expensive. That

is— let me do some maths.

£490, let's just make it £500. It's £170

more expensive. £170 will

get me— I can't

do maths— will get me more storage, get me

128GB storage. But do I really need 128GB

storage? I don't think I do. I don't think

I do because I upload everything online

and I don't really save much and I don't

really have loads of apps that I want to

download anyway.

I think I'll just get the 32 gigabyte. I

don't want to spend the extra money. I can

use that extra money towards a camera. So

32 gigabytes,

£490, Prime delivery,

can get it tomorrow.

What does this mean? Nominated day

delivery available. Want delivered— want

delivery by Friday 23rd of December—

September. Order it in the next 2 hours

and 21 minutes.

I could get it tomorrow. Tomorrow's my day

off. It'll be perfect. It'll be my day off

tomorrow. We can get something new and

I'll have something to do instead of just

sitting here staring at the wall. I don't

know what happened. I just refreshed the

page and now it says, want it delivered by

Saturday, order in the next 21 hours.

What about— what about Friday? 5 minutes

ago it said if I ordered within 2 hours I

could get it tomorrow. Now it changed. I

don't wanna have to wait until Saturday.

Ah, now I have to wait until Saturday. I

was looking forward to getting it on

Friday. I hate waiting. You know when you

spend a lot of money on an electronic

item, you just want it as fast as

possible, don't you? You don't want to

have to wait. If you have to wait, Then

buyer's remorse starts to set in, doesn't

it? You start to regret it. You start

thinking, did I make the right choice

buying that? Should I have bought that?

Do I really need it? Maybe I shouldn't

have bought it. Maybe I'll cancel the

order. That's why I like next-day

delivery, because I get it quickly before

I get the chance to start regretting the

decision. The decision. This is— this is—

God, that's so difficult to say. The

decision. Anyway,

slightly changing the topic. I really

enjoyed working yesterday. It was really

nice not having that Nepal guy around. He

just— he makes me feel so anxious. Like,

he's always standing behind me watching,

and the way he speaks is kind of scary.

Like, he gets really, like, worked up

and starts— he doesn't start shouting,

but he raises his voice a little bit. The

Bangladesh guy, he's— I like him. He's

really laid back. He's like, he just

laughs a lot and he's, he just, he's very

casual and laid back. And he wasn't

standing behind me watching everything I

was doing. He just let me get on with what

I was supposed to do. And he came in every

now and then to check if I was doing okay.

But he wasn't, he wasn't standing right

behind me breathing down my neck, which

just makes me more nervous. And when I get

nervous, I just make more problems. I make

more mistakes, and then that makes them,

like, tell me that I'm doing it wrong even

more, and that makes me even more nervous,

and it's just like a vicious circle.

Time for tea. Time for tea.

Time for tea. Time for tea.

Whoops, dropped my camera. This is the

thing I love about night shift. Look,

I've got all these donuts, all these

donuts, I've got all these pancakes

from yesterday. Feels kind of strange. I

spent so much time on the night shift

making donuts, preparing donuts, and I'd

still end up bringing half of them home so

I can eat. I'm not complaining, I get free

Seems like, seems like the petrol station

is wasting a lot of money. Now,

at the end of the day, I'm getting the

products for free and I'm getting paid

to prepare them. It's a pretty good deal,

isn't it? Also,

another annoying thing about work is I'm

being trained by multiple people. Then the

Paul guy will tell me, you need to cook

the baguette— the baguettes for 19

minutes. And then the Bangladesh guy tells

me, no, no, 19 minutes is too long. You

should do it for 15 minutes. 19 minutes

will be too hard. And then what

else was there? The 3 AM cooking when

you have to do the sausage rolls and all

the pies and stuff. The Nepal guy, he said

to do it for, um,

how long was it, 30, 32 minutes? But the

Bangladesh guy said that's too long and he

took them out at around 28

minutes. He said they were becoming hard

and dry and not good. So it's confusing.

Which one? Who do I listen to, the Nepal

guy or the Bangladesh guy? Because the

Nepal guy, he taught me first, so that's

kind of what's stuck in my mind now.

So which, which one do I listen to? Who do
