Calax Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Have been told that my job and store sounds like the seventh level of hell to work at because I come home and bitch about it for about 30 minutes after I work. But hey, at least I start classes to be a manager so I can get a better management job elsewhere. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

WDeranged Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Thanks guys, I'm quite messed up about it as me and my Dad are close but kind words do help in a very odd kind of way, currently the details are sketchy, last I heard the docs said he was all clear and on his way to a good (if very infirm) old age. On my Mum's insistence they did another scan, the docs resisted and predicted it would show nothing but they found his liver and upper bowel to be very cancerous and an embolism on a major artery in his heart, a ****ing hat-trick of death. When the doctor told them the results they were obviously shocked, they didn't ask how much time he might have or how treatable it is, so my first task is to see a doctor with them and ask these questions, my Dad intends to refuse treatment but I've asked him to at least find out what his options are before making a final decision. Beyond that I'll be doing my best to ensure Dad does everything he wants in the time he has left...bloody hell
Nepenthe Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Useless meetings all day at work, now thinking about how the bad part about kickstarter is that it brings out all the armchair developers en masse. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Malcador Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Well they are putting their money in - I probably should give to that, the trending graph on that is taking a nice dive, heh. Borderlands 2 today!...well ok no, Amazon's getting me it on the 26th or so, meh. I guess I'll have to get a new pen to make this day brighter. Why has elegance found so little following?

LadyCrimson Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Trying to get some home stuff done before I get wrapped up in playing video games again today, but I suspect this will be a week of neglecting some chores. Glad the forum work last night seemed to improve things ... 700-800 people on here and it's not crashing (just a little slow at times). It got a little busy here in the past now and then, but this has been crazy! ... and it's awesome! “Things are as they are.

Posbi Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 I wrote a chapter for my novel's sequel. Chapter 19, to be precise: Embers of Hope.

Tale Posted September 19, 2012 Author Posted September 19, 2012 Same old same old. Finished repairing an infected system here at work. By "repair" I mean I flattened the thing and reinstalled everything. Got the user back up and running, e-mail, found out our server password doesn't work, fixed that. The joys of small business. I get to be the IT department. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Trenitay Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 First day of classes today. Totally ready for another year of learning and awkward social interaction! Hey now, my mother is huge and don't you forget it. The drunk can't even get off the couch to make herself a vodka drenched sandwich. Octopus suck.
LadyCrimson Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Hubby is playing Borderlands 2 as I speak...it's so adorable it makes me want to dance. <---this sprite apparently steps in time to Katy Perry music...

Blarghagh Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Both me and my girlfriend have been sick with the flu for a couple of days now and we're getting really sick of it.
Malcador Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 Working over my resume (read : adding more lies) as I'm getting ready to job hunt before they tire of me around here. Crappy skillset too, so maybe going back to school might be an option, heh. Why has elegance found so little following?

LadyCrimson Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 The usual domestic stuff. In another one of those phases where I can't seem to sleep for more than 4 hours before waking up, again. And no, it's not video games. Speaking of vid. games, that's what I'm going to do next. Hubs and I are going to start new chrs. to check out how co-op in BL2 feels.
