You sir, are an idiot.

So I applied for a new job the other day. No, I still have my old one, but this one pays almost double, so what the hell. And for some reason with me the interview process zooms by. Dropped off my resume, get home and I get a call to set up an appointment for the next day.

What else has happened this week? I don't know, I'm actually asking. Monday and Tuesday were the usual, get up and go to work days. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do this weekend though I did just learn work is giving everyone the day off with pay. Wow, a holiday I'm not working.

It's back to classes Tuesday. Orientation that morning and classes right after it. Hopefully it will be one of those "I'm your teacher, here's what to expect days." I'm liking the schedule layout too. Monday off, then classes starting at 10 am Tuesday. Wednesday is 9-12. Thursday is 9-3 and Friday is 10 till 3. Let the party begin.

Strike that from the record. - asmyth82 11:55 AM -

My week so far unedited.

How's my week been so far? Lemme start off with: Fuck!

Sunday I went out with some friends to the local water park. Attractive women? Some. Could I see them? Usually not since I didn't have my glasses on. I get home and lay around in agony because I've been partly cooked. Does my day end there? Oh no, of course not. At 11 that night, my cat dies. Like losing not only a friend, but a member of the family. That cat's been with us for over a decade and to see him lying there, his eyes staring out into nothing, that was a painful event.

Monday was just the usual work, but of course the sunburn just made it worse. Yesterday it was turning out to be the same thing, except my back started to itch and everytime I tried to scratch it hust. It was like being covered in fire ants. You try to brush them off when they tickle, and they all bite you. Then about a half hour into my shift, I broke a tooth. Jeebus. The back, top half broke right off. So there I am, twitching like a psycho while trying to deal with customers without losing the front half of my tooth and keep calm all the while.

Yeah, this is a good week. - asmyth82 12:04 PM -

Like riding a bike

I got my hours switched back to part time which started this week. I figured I'd do it a few weeks before classes started to give me some relaxation time. I was feeling burnt out when I finished classes, I don't need to start the new year feeling the same way. My first week's schedule got to me last Wednesday and I was surprised they had given me the Tuesday off. And here I was being told that they needed us for any extra hours we could spare. Not that I really rested Tuesday. I spent Monday after work hanging out with a buddy of mine and was up until 6 am. His girlfriend had known we had been up that late, seeing as how she had gotten up that morning to find us still playing video games downstairs. That didn't stop her from calling at 10 am. And not once, not twice, but five times!

Friday I had gotten home from work and went straight to the liqour store. Ran into my mom there so that tells you something about my family. Though I did have to give her suggestions on what to drink at her little get together that night. I myself went with the fantastic Skyy. The party was fun.

The next morning my mom wakes me up to tell me I had left the front door open when I had come home. Getting up I realized I was still dressed from the night before. Didn't remember that. At that point I realized I didn't remember half the walk home. Oh well.

It's a pay week and I'm looking into adding more RAM to my computer. Stupid RD RAM.

Yes, that was basically a reverse chronology of my week. - asmyth82 10:15 PM -

The geekiest day of the year.

I arrived home today to find a package waiting for me from Future Shop. Holy hell in a handbasket, I must have died and ended up in Bizarro world. Future Shop got my game to me in three days! Granted, I'm not counting the amount of time it was out of stock or the time I wasted fixing the screw up their system pulled on my info. So I open it up. Jeebus, I can't remember the last time a game came with a cloth map. UO had one, I believe. So I pop in disk one and install the game. And install it. And install it. Popped in the second disk, then the play disk, then disk one again. Damn thing took me forty minutes to install. But of course that was nothing to the 3 hours that disappeared while playing. During a short, unasked for break, I answered the door. To my surprise it was another package. Inside was the DVD copy of Lord of the Rings I had ordered. Of course, I bought it as a gift for my brother, but if he doesn't want to be here tomorrow on his birthday, tough shit for him. Now all I need is a B5 tshirt and a plastic lightsaber.

Schpock. - asmyth82 10:01 PM -

Another day...

So I finally found a number and called FS. Got that problem out of the way. Checked it online today to make sure it had been updated and, surprise! The system can't retreive the order at the moment. "Oh no! It processable now! Cancel it on him! Quick!"

In other news, I've gotten a few hits from search engines. What oh what were these people searching for? Let's see.

"how to on moving"
I'd think this wouldn't need to be searched for. Pick up your shit, go to your new place, drop your shit. I should write a book.

lyrics for "This Land Is My Land, This Land Is Your Land"
A staple in every music collection. Bitchin' song and everybody loves to sing along. Loudly and out of key.

Thankfully I've been able to sleep in this weekend. The past few weeks I've tried but my eyes would pop open at 7:30 am. Hell, I'd still be asleep if somebody hadn't called. And for God's sake, if you're gonna call a person on a weekend morning, don't let it ring only three times. Give the person time to realize that the ringing is in the real world, open their eyes enough to see where the phone is, the necessary time for the person swear that whoever this is, they're about to be disemboweled, and then get to the phone. Nothing is more aggrivating than doing all the previous steps only to just reach the phone as it stops ringing. Worst part, damn phone call wasn't even for me.

There's a business here in town called Head 2 Head Games. I read a story in the paper a few weeks ago about them and their deal that for $25 you can play games from midnight to 9 am. Sounds like something worth doing. I just need to round up a few buddies and then find a weekend where I'm not going out drinking. Damn booze.

Waitaminute...Something said, not good. - asmyth82 10:09 AM -

They must be reading this

Upon checking my email this morning, I find Future Shop has dropped me a line saying my credit card has expired. WTF? Credit cards expire in undar a year now? News to me.

So I check out my info on their site. Everything's fine except my expiry date has changed. Doubtful that's my fault since I've filled out enough order forms to know what expiration date means. Alright, I'll just enter the correct information. Six tries later and I'm still getting the same "We can't process your request at the moment. Feel free to contact customer service. Now a lot of people would think, "Customer service! They'll help me out!" But working in customer service I know how the email route goes. It hits an automated system and shoots off an automatic reply thanking the emailer for their letter and that someone will be in contact with them once they have a chance. Of course systems like that are usually backed up, so any chance of response before 2010 is probably out of the question.

So I'm thinking someone from the company saw my earlier posting about not liking Future Shop and caused this little problem for me. Or at least turned off the information uddater.

At least the game is shippable. I just need the info updated. - asmyth82 11:19 AM -
