Orifice Politics

I love my graveyard crew, but I hate Wednesday nights.

I'm stuck with Mark... BOTH OF THEM.

Yes, they're still here. How they managed to avoid being canned for this long is beyond me. Ah well...

I made some adjustments to my info, so now I'm proving just how big of a fighting game geek I am. XD That and I added my two state flags.

Oh, and new iconage. I needed something simple and pretty, so Venom fit the bill perfectly.

As for my situation, things are looking better. Everything will hopefully come together once I get my car and another job. I won't quit Sunset, just get a second job. So I can get the money.

With that I get the power.

And then, I get the womens.

So my 10-12 hour shift begins.

I will survive dammit. I got my giant M&Ms to help me! :D

And Heather, will you still be flying back on the 13th? Or has Florida decided to play it safe until Whata-cane Alberto blows over?

Why is it that whenever I come back from vacation my work is always in chaos?

And someone gets fired? Geez...

So one of the guys here spoke to the supervisor on my behalf. He said I'd make an awesome tech, but what did the sup. say?

No.

Now, before we fly off the handle, I can sort of see why he wasn't too keen on me becoming a tech: the shift. The one that needs to be covered is graveyard, and he was concerned about my safety. Now granted, a female tech out at night doesn't sound kosher to them, but I've worked several years on swing and grave shifts without a problem. Personally I'd like to prove that I am capable of working the later swing and grave shifts. Hey, at least he wasn't totally revolted by the idea of me being a tech.

Oh, and Nanaki Chris: I put in a request for the 11th to the 14th off along with my usual weekend. Hopefully they'll accept it. I think I can swing the $100 ticket to Los Angeles. XD

Initial D should not be as fun and addictive as it is.

El Taiki and I went out to Blueberry Hill, where I got me some stuffed French toast. While it was awesome, the ruling stuffed toast is still the dish I had in Canadia. Swiss cheese and jam=kickass.

I can't wait for Sunday now. Nanaki Chris and I will be house hunting for his familia. I got some good leads from my co-workers, and I'm curious as to the neighborhoods myself.

Now I am off to do some typing and... answer Taiki's bro on the damn radio. :P

My techs have been driving me nuts with the time changes tonight, so I haven't been all that productive outside of taking calls and logging them.

I have however made my choice on which manga series I'll be continuing for the time being. Not even the hotness that is Yami no Matsuei's shounen-ai can compare to Initial D. The slash in Initial D is there, but I'm really liking the suspense of the series. And Tak's an idiot.

Tak: What's an Eight-Six?

Iggy (his best friend): It's the car sitting in your driveway!!

Even I know more about cars. XD

So I still have a job at Sunset Coin.

My co-worker wasn't mad at me at all. Instead she was concerned since I wasn't answering my cell and thought I got hit by a car or something. When I got in I explained that I had misunderstood my supervisor and took the wrong day off. My manager and supervisor know and acknowledge that it was a mistake and that I'll be more careful in the future. She fully welcomed the sour gummy worms I bought her as a make-up present. X3

And I bought Easter candy for the rest of the office. Dude, I'm becoming an office jockey. Awesome!

However my impromptu day off wasn't entirely wasted. taiki took me shopping. I got myself a new pair of Adidas Sambas (yay footy shoes!) and a refurbished ecks-bawks (Xbox to everyone else) along with Guilty Gear X2#Reload. Now I'll actually be able to get some practice in, but I noticed I can't pull off Venom's Dark Angel overdrive like I used to. That and I can't get the Neo Geo CD to work in the bedroom. Taiki, help meeee when you drop by Sunday. I need your tech skills to cure my joystick and Neo CD!!

Plus I got me a software kit that will let me design my own CD stickers and jewel case inserts. Tempest, I'm determined to make your DK soundtrack!

For those following the mini-epic that is "All These Things that I've Done", chapter 8 has been posted @ goenitzstardust. Which reminds me, I'm debating on whether or not if I should post the third and final part of the arc. The plot and theory come waaaay out of left field, and I'm almost tempted not to post. At the same time I've devoted a lot of time and beta-ing into it, so it would be a waste to delete it. What do you folks think?

To counter last night's boredom, tonight was chock full of calls for all sorts of problems. But the highlight came from a location where two people were making out in one of the dining areas. Fun.

back to phoneage and maybe some billiards later on. Those tables will taunt me NO MORE.

After only one month of unemployment, I have found a job in the field of dispatch.

No dress code.

No customers.

No cash handling.

I win.

So I filled out an application with a place called Zen Zone in the Aladdin. It seems like a nice place, and if I do get hired I hope they won't have a fit over my wrist tattoos. I tried calling the place via Desert Passage's hotline, and I got some chick's house. What the hell? So I'm gonna drop by before work to see if I can get an interview with the manager. And get a working phone number.

For Christmas, I definitely want FIFA 2006, Neo Geo Battle Colliseum, and a stuffed toy sloth. Yes, they make them. How kickass is that?

PS - For Digital Tempest (when she gets back online): The DoA movie trailer is out. It made me very, very sad. They didn't even bother to give Christie white hair.
