So the week of vacation laziness is transpiring quite nicely. The first few days I was in a rush to get everything moved in the house and semi-unpacked enough to live. Now all the finishing touches and small boxes are being left ignored and I don't know when I'll get to them ( Read more... )

Wow, I have enough news for a decent update. For my LJ friends I don't talk to enough to already know this, I bought a house, w00t! It's crunch time as I sign all the papers and take ownership this Tuesday. What it all means so far is packing, packing, packing. As an FYI gamers, packing ~1500 pieces of software, systems, and assorted ephemera is ( Read more... )

Ah, so I guess it's time for a biannual update. I try to read my internet buddies' journals frequently but then always end up too lazy to make mine current. Also, news has been pretty lacking around here lately ( Read more... )

Huh, so I haven't updated in like 2 months. But it feels like about a week has gone by. THAT'S what the Christmas season in retail management will do to you. Somehow I survived throughout all the 70+ hour weeks and screaming idiot customers. Things are getting back to "normal" now so I can handle things a little better. I've been transferred to a ( Read more... )

So I've been working midnight shifts alone at the store all week putting up all the Christmas merchandise and I can't even tell what day it is anymore. It's hard to have happy Christmas thoughts after putting together and decorating 10 big artificial Christmas trees. Ok, so I did enjoy the superb Engrish instructions that came with each one, but it ( Read more... )

Wow, I'm not usually one for "British humour", but the BBC show The Office is incredible. I rented the Season 1 DVD set (only 6 episodes) and couldn't stop laughing. Imagine a mix of Office Space with the mockumentary style of Christopher Guest's movies like This Is Spinal Tap and you've got it. Maximum annoying catch-phrase potential for all your ( Read more... )

Goddamn I spend too much on fast food. With work as crazy as it is lately its become habit to get delivery pizza, Chinese, or pasta at least once and sometimes twice daily. From Sunday-today I emptied my wallet of $50 on nothing but fast food. At least its not making me fat. I appreciate being on my feet 90% of my day when I stop to think how huge ( Read more... )

Another uneventful long busy day at work. Interviewed and hired two people that hopefully will work out well enough to cover for the 4 shitty people we've fired in the last 2 weeks. Received an admission ticket to the dreaded pharmacy exam I have to take November 15th that I'll probably fail. Considering I have no time to study for it and as a ( Read more... )

The extra hour of sleep that comes with Daylight Savings time was both a blessing and a curse. It was decided last night among friends that the bonus hour meant we should party extra late or it'd just be wasteful. However, for me this meant puking in my friend's van after a few too many Jagermeister shots. This comes a couple months after a ( Read more... )

Well welcome to my journal o'fun. A couple people have nagged me to start one over the years so I'll placate their needs. You'll probably find this to be a place where I ramble about the latest game, music, or movie I'm on about. Or bitching about my job, whatever. Enjoy!
