Survived day one. It wasn’t too bad. Would have been better if we weren’t deliberately understaffed, but whatever. I came home and made a bread salad with some pancheta and turkey with a matcha latte. Turned out nom. Sadly I didn’t have any leftover. It was too good. Now I have to contemplate what to bring for lunch tomorrow. Probably another turkey sandvich and salad.
Should probably update stuff on my laptop too. I logged into Steam today during my lunch break and so much stuff wanted to download. I did manage to play some Shadow Warrior. I hope they make a Linux port of it. It’s hella fun to play.
If anyone is trying to catch me it’ll probably be hard until my next weekend. They actually gave me a 40 hour work week! Time to save up for Christmas and earn back what I’ve already spent. 😛 I have my lunchbox packed and I should probably charge my laptop overnight. It’ll help keep me sane during the Christmas rush.
I slept off a good turkey coma. Woke up today with feeling happy that I didn’t have to endure this kind of shiz:
That was all to be expected. He got kicked out because he wasn’t buying anything or attacking anyone! I like how the cops didn’t do anything either. How is this even fun?
And finally a fight over a TV…. a fucking TV.
Of course. Right now as I speak I am shopping around online for some cool deals. Unfortunately Newegg doesn’t really have anything spectacular. But I am getting some nice presents from places like World Market and Amazon. I think I’ll hit up ebay next.
It’s weird. I can play Source games fine, but Garrys Mod? It still isn’t ready. I even tried setting graphics to lowest of the low and it still lagged like hell. Playing multiplayer made the client even more slow. I guess I’ll be checking back in on it whenever it updates to see if there are any improvements. Maybe after I update to the next kernal (I noticed they pushed out another one recently) I can give it another shot. I haven’t heard anything spectacular about it when it comes to graphics though.
Seriously… what the hell? They’re selling on ebay for almost if not the same price as the damned console.
The scary part? People are bidding on these. Either people don’t know how to read an entire sentence, or they want the special shiny packaging… Either way it’s weird to watch.
Worked a small shift today. It wasn’t crazy busy though I did get quite a few surges from time to time. It was mostly people window shopping for Black Friday. Thank god I won’t be participating in that. Not working, not shopping. I refuse to partake in anything Black Friday unless it’s online. You can’t get trampled on the internet, though you might bring websites down in large surges. 😛
Speaking of Black Friday I was catching up on my RSS feeds and came across this video. Made me thankful that I live in a small town. Seriously this looks like something out of Left 4 Dead 2:

I loved the comments for that video. I agree that this sort of thing makes us look horrible. We act like a bunch of fucking savages fighting for so called “good deals”. Trampling and shoving each other because the device/appliance/scarf/whatever has much more value than the person you knocked over for it. We shouldn’t be allowed to encourage this kind of behavior. Seriously if you’re the kind of person to behave like that I hope someone’s stiletto pierces your lung. It’s the fucking hunger games.
Oh well… Enough ranting. We all know that most corporations over here are too busy rubbing money on their tender nipples to give a flying fuck. I might as well enjoy this Thanksgiving special. I feel old for watching it. I remember when it was brand new. 🙂 Good ol MST3K:
I’m a little surprised. I built a Mann vs Machine server for TF2 and I’ve been getting round the clock use on it. Had it and one of the Serious Sam 3 servers going at the same time without breaking a sweat. I added a plugin that sets reserved slots for admins. I haven’t tested it yet though. Might test it when I get off work if anyone is on (assuming I have any time).
Probably won’t be playing much until Thanksgiving. I have a couple earlyish shifts that I’ll be working. Good news is I won’t be working on Black Friday so that way my sanity will still be in tact.
