With perfect timing! Work has been cranking up the drama lately, not getting into that though. I have one week plus another two days next week. I’m not going to attempt to think about the hell hole. In fact there’s a good chance that I’ll be really drunk tomorrow, so if I post anything weirder than usual. Or it might lead to me doing a reinstall of CentOS… That seems to randomly happen whenever I get really plastered.
Vacation
Vacation Time Bitches!
I’m taking some time off to relax. Will be heading out of town in a couple days to meet with some other people for a wine walk. Will bring my laptop and tablet, though if this goes anything like last year I’ll probably be too buzzed to coherently sit up at my computer and blog. I will try to take pictures, perhaps more Stoned Troopers. :trollface: And who knows? Perhaps I’ll have time to produce some video related content! Or maybe even stream! :O if I could figure out wtf to play…
Commence the vacationing
It’s official. For the next two weeks I’ll be enjoying some time off, not having to worry about having split days off constantly until I return. Of course I’ve already started it off the right way:
I’ve also got a couple of large bottles of Merlot for mulling when a cold evening strikes. I’ve also napped to get back on my old vampiric hours. I’ve had to be a morning person to retain my job, but at heart I think I’ll always be a night owl. 😛
Vacation 2016 begins nao.
I’m officially on vacation now. Time to put my thoughts about work aside and do the things that I like to do, and remain as carefree as possible. On Sunday I have company coming from out of town to look forward to, and an outing with another friend on Wednesday. Tomorrow I’ll be getting my hair trimmed and done entirely in purple just to mix things up a bit.
Vacation Open Thread
Today is the last day of my other vacation. Not much to say about it other than it had lots of things that go boom, and I’m not just talking about gaming. We all went up river and had a blast you could say. 😀 Also had a health screening today, and apparently I’m healthier than I thought I was. So I guess that’s good?
I think I’ll spend my last day checking out the new closed beta I made it into. I can’t really say much about it other than it’s a multiplayer FPS, but it looks like it’ll be interesting. I hope it turns out to be awesome since it really seems to be up my alley.
On another note I’ve been having some fun with some Devil May Cry games in Big Picture mode. Nice Hack n Slashes for when I feel like kicking back on the couch with a controller. Speaking of controllers I’m still eyeballing the Steam Controller. It’ll be interesting to see how it handles FPS games and other types that I prefer using a keyboard and mouse with. I don’t picture it replacing the keyboard and mouse as a whole, but for Big Picture gaming it could pull through. I’m gonna wait on the reviews first before I make the investment. For a controller it seems to be at a nice price point, waaaaaay better than the $150 XBox One controller that my co-workers are drooling over.
Oh joy. You can swap the buttons around. I guess that’s… something?
The vacationing beginith.
It’s finally happening. I don’t really have many plans other than to start on the new server hardware that came in today, finish my mask, and just relax in general. None of this on and off scheduling that’s been happening lately. Hell they even tried to get me to come in on one of my vacation days for next week for another 4 hour shift. I told them no. And fucking stop with these pussy 4 hour shifts it’s a total waste of time.
So there’s a good chance that I’ll be blogging more, since I don’t want to overwhelm myself on Skyrim for the entire period. :v
Off of vacation and back to work
It was relaxing while it lasted. Managed to find some potential things to look for regarding other avenues of employment. Hopefully something works out. 🙂
In the meantime here are a couple videos of what happened during my time off.

Greetings
Hello, I haven’t written anything in awhile. Been mostly relaxing and gaming, and here’s a video of some Borderlands 2 shenanigans with my friend Yutram.
I’ll be heading back in bright n early on Wednesday. So I figured for my six day vacation I’d just screw off since it looks like I’ll be severely busy when I return. I’ll write more about it later. Just figured I’d write something since it’s been awhile.
Final Day Of Vacation
It’s been a nice rest. But like many good things they need to come to an end. I may not have gone anywhere special, but at least I got to kick back and enjoy myself. Last night I went out with my mother to the local sushi place for some miso soup, sushi rolls and miso soup. The choyo (plum wine) was good too.
My laptop is ready for work! I ran some tests tonight and decided to overclock it. I crashed that twice beforehand but only due to heating (and possibly lack of RAM, still waiting for that in the mail) but overall performed perfectly. Since it has dual NVidia’s in it though I had to do the directX91 cvar so that it wouldn’t glitch the fuck out. CS:GO, the L4D’s and Serious Sam functioned perfectly though.
Vacation Day 4 and onto 5
Went for a walk yesterday (weather was excellent!) and decided to take a walk down memory lane (actual place here) for a personal picnic. I ordered a nice roast beef sandvich and ate in a nice quiet wooded area in one of our local parks. Walked passed a bunch of buildings and remembered how all of those lots were nothing but fields where we would mess around in. I always loved climbing those trees with my friends, go up and read a book from the library or from home.
My processor for the super laptop arrived too. Works perfectly! Can’t wait to overclock it. It’s a core 2 duo extreme edition. I can overclock it to 3.4 (default speed is 2.8). As soon as the new HD’s and RAM get here I’ll be ready to haul that to work for a fun lunch break. Screw the other ladies tablets and iPhones at work…. I’ll pwn them all!!!
Speaking of that I played some L4D2, Serious Sam’s and even fucked around in HL2DM. I even added a new plugin to both the HL2DM and TF2 servers, and ass soon as Valve fixes the sv_downloadurl issue with CS:GO I’ll try to add it to that as well. It’s a plugin that plays welcome music or a welcome message. Much like the end round music I’ll be expanding upon what was already included in the pack. I found another plugin that plays a special sound/song for certain people. Assign a theme song to a specific person example. That requires messing around in MySQL. I would have done it tonight but had one to many to really want to mess with that sort of thing.
And finally I awoke this afternoon to find that people actually checked out my (anti)social network that I created. lololollololol.
