The Mind Of OverlordTomala
Work

The Overlord is on the warpath again.

I was approached yesterday afternoon by my boss. According to her I will be trained to be a backup cashier, which I have written in the past about declining… constantly. My opinion hasn’t changed on the matter, in fact it’s been getting worse. They’ve been cutting people back even further to the point that the entire store is a skeleton crew. So somehow everyone becoming cashier trained will fix this…?

I already told her that I would be putting in my notice, but having gotten home tonight to think things through I decided that was a little bit much. I’ll talk with her tomorrow, give her some choices. If I get trained I’ll stop working with them and become a pure cashier. At least long enough until another job comes along. I’ll be picking up some job applications tomorrow before work.

Considering I’ve worked there for 7 years and am only making ten cents above minimum wage… what have I got to lose?

Are you fucking serious? / Gaming

These in game items will cost you your first born child… and second.

Hmmmm, next time I want to buy hats in TF2 I might just have to pop out some babies and sell them on the Chinese market.

A young unmarried couple in China are accused selling not one, but two of their children to human traffickers. The money they got was used for gaming.

The first son was an accident, the second one seems to have been planned specifically:

The mother got pregnant again, and, in an interview, explained that the father “likes buying items in online games, and he likes staying out all night at internet cafes.” Because the couple was apparently using their money for the father’s gaming, the parents then allegedly sold their second son to traffickers to avoid a financial burden.

It’s rather sad as well as mind boggling that they would go through all the trouble just to purchase in game items. Basically the mother allowing herself to become a baby factory just to honor her husband’s gaming habits. Sickening.

All in an Overlord's day

Open Thread

Since my last vacation was cut shorter than what I wanted it to be, I’ve reapplied for a part 2 at the end of the month so I can kick back again. I’m gonna need it since this summer has been pretty rough. The pay has been better than usual since I’ve been working full time, but the lack of people has really been hurting. Today I spent a good part of the day upstairs alone because same ol same ol. Oh well, the extra hours helped pay for my summer sale shenanigans. :v

Oh, and I was greeted with some packages tonight when I came home! Some clothes and the media bay I ordered. That was quicker than expected. Not gonna complain. 😀

Are you fucking serious?

I looked up Irony and this is what I found

So I couldn’t help but notice that Fox News had a new graphic up that caught my eye.

Now I’m sure to most people who watch Fox News this just seems like an ordinary logo. So why am I making light of it?

So basically they just took bits and pieces of it off and added a couple more stars, and bam! Of course if you actually played BioShock Infinite like I have you’d laugh at the irony.
