It's been a while, and I'm doing this on my phone, so while things may ne spelled right, they may not make sense. Here is a brief run down since the last time I think I did this...
Moved back to Seattle. Went to dundracon. Got a job. Now you're caught up. I'll go into greater detail about any of these if asked.

Now for why I'm doing this now... My extremely passive aggressive coworker is technically my supervisor. She has only age on me. Thats fine, I can get over that. What I can't get over is her thoughts that each shift is out to get the other shifts. Because she's afraid of being usurped, she has talked HER boss into coming in early each Thursday morning so 3rd shift and first shift can have a powwow to get any issues resolved.

Ok, that's not a terrible idea either.

However, rather than discuss the things that bother her, shell write condescending emails about our other two shifts and not say a thing at these meetings. (I guess hoping her boss will do her job for her) then, she gets HYPERDEFENSIVE when an issue is lodged against our shift. I keep telling her to step up and just fucking say it, but like a petulant child, she stands with her arms crossed and doesn't make eye contact with anyone.

Part of me want to get her fired, so I can rise to power... It'd be easy. Really easy. But do I wanna work 3rd shift alone until we hire help?

So, tomorrow is my first day of work in a long time. Exactly one year. My first day back is the one year anniversary since I was laid off. I've been hired by these guys.

So, I will be working mornings for the first week, and then the graveyard from then on. Printing without the customer service aspect. I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually excited about this. The thought of being productive again might actually cheer me up (when Street Fighter isn't on anyway)

So, the job thing is infinitely more important than the following: I got a Fight Stick for the 360. Oh man, my Juri is going to be AWESOME as soon as I learn to adjust to playing with it. It's amazing.

Nothing exciting to talk about beyond that. Except maybe the blog based on the occasional funny thing I've said. You can even ask questions there, and I answer them... Not that anyone cares.

So, last night, as depicted by my tweets, I went and saw an awesome improv show. They're usually quite great, but this one was special!

( Read more... )

What's that, you say? You found all your Mutant And Mastermind's Books? And Intergalactic Cooking Challenge? AND Primetime Adventures?

Oh, and your stupid Street Fighter RPG? You should have kept that one lost.

But yay for finding the other ones!

So, I love to shamelessly self promote.

So, Here!

I got a new hat.

I got a PS3.

Which am I more happy with? =P


*Crosses PS3 off of the list of consoles I've never owned.*

So, tonight, me and the missus went into the city to see some lights at a nearby botanical garden (Pretty neat, considering it was free.) and to see an free holiday improv show. Most of the people around us were not as in to it as me and Næko were, but that just gave them more time to deal with our suggestions.

First, they were going to do a ballet for us, but needed a genre. So, naturally, I called out "The A-Team." The subject matter? Apparently a woman wanted to get her hair done, but she had been outlawed from all the beauty establishments in town. Call in B.A and the boys and shit comes together. The dances included "The Dance Of Sharing Hair", "The Dance Of The Hair Triangle", and our personal favorite, "The Dance Of Flipping Out" when our Mr. T went into a Vietnam flashback and "fired his AK 47 Chair into the sky".

Good times.

Then, came a Shakespearean Tragedy. "Ryan And Olivia." Ryan was too lazy to clean out the litter box, and the cats foretold upon him a terrible destiny. [Paraphrased, since I can't do their Shakespeare true justice] "Excrement shall flow unless action is taken. Besides, you'll never out-lazy us cats!" A lot of lounging, a lot of overpronunciation of Olivia, and a final showdown where Ryan slayed the Poop Fairies from the Box of Litter... After some gentle prodding (Read: Threatening to break his legs and withhold sex) of course.

All in all, I had a great time, and look forward to seeing a paid show, where they might be able to do some blue stuff, since this did take place right in Downtown Seattle in the Seattle Center.

A few things to update you all on.

1) Did you know I live in Seattle now? Some of you didn't. This is apparently my public proclamation. >_<

2) Still unemployed, and I hate it. Despite this fact, the unemployment is helping keep me and the missus afloat. We're cutting costs at nearly every opportunity.

3) Cutting costs like having her shave (most) of my hair off. Although, my hair was getting shaggy and unruly again.

4) I avoided as many birthday wishes as I could when it passed a few days ago. To those of you who wished them upon me, I wished a plague upon you to the swine flu fairy. I doubt she heard my pleas over all of the people trying not to get it. >_>

5) I DID NOT steal Kaindl's haircut, despite his accusation to the contrary. I find it hard to believe that "short hair' is his and his alone. >_<

6) I'm almost out of Halloween candy. ;_;

7) I moved Nephenee over to another server. *coughandfactioncough*

8) I'm afraid my mother is going to try to come visit, or beg and plead for me to go.

9) I met one of the singers to Letters Make Words back when I worked with Odwalla. She handed me her iPod and let me listen to one of their songs (Photographs), and I was incredibly taken with it. In fact, their band is trying to get onto the Not So Silent Night 'local music' stage. Since I can't really do much to support them from up here, I'd like for you guys to check out their site, download a song or two, and maybe vote for them on Live105's site for me. This is one of the few times a band I like I'm willing to share with you. =P

10) I didn't actually have a #10, except that maybe Uriko is trying to kill me with her poop. ¬_¬

This is *WAY* better than the original who's on first.
