I got all but one server up and running again… I need sleep nao.
Calling it an early night
They want me to come in early today. The brightside is that I’ll get off a couple hours before we close. Maybe I’ll get some shopping done. 🙂
So I almost passed out at work today.
The fumes were even stronger today up stairs. My eyes, nose, throat, lungs and stomach felt like they were on fire (and that was within the first hour of being there). I ended up asking them to let me go outside for a bit to get some air. Seriously, I felt like I was going to stop breathing. I’ve developed a bit of a cough (plus it hurts a bit to talk), hopefully it doesn’t get worse.
Speaking of getting worse we were extremely swamped with last minute people preparing to celebrate the 4th. Mostly people looking for patriotic T Shirts that were made in China and getting pissed that we only had them in infant sizes because everything else sold. Nothing says true patriotism like waiting until the last minute to get overseas American apparel… Dumb dumb people.
First day back and already I want to quit.
Aside from it being Geriatric Tuesday the customers haven’t been too horrid. Tar fumes are still being pumped into the building making everyone sick. I had a look at the MSDS for the type of tar they’re using and sure enough, it’s fucking toxic. Our managers quoted the parts of the tar that are not toxic and somehow missed the other ingredients and warnings. Like wear a resperator while working with it, and don’t breathe it in or it could cause pneumonia, headaches, sore throat, and in some cases death by carbon monoxide.
Oh, and I found out one of our co workers is switching to another department and no one is going to replace her since we do so well with a short staff… Riiiiight.
Time to get back into the swing of things
I head back to work tomorrow afternoon. The plus side is that I’m fully rested and refreshed. The downside is that it’ll all probably be undone tomorrow when I arrive.
Another plus is that I’m getting a good amount of shifts this week. I have to work during Independence day though… But I always have to anyway. Oh well, I get paid closer to what I’m worth for the day. I’ll have to try and bring lunches all week instead of buying stuff at work. I hate the selections and usually it’s all unhealthy. Homemade Mac and Cheese is being made tonight (healthier than the boxed stuff) so I can probably bring that. I’ll also plan ahead and bring my own bottle of Oolong tea.
Sexist DLC for Archeblade.
I was going through my Steam stuff and found an Archeblade DLC announcement. For those who don’t know, Archeblade is a F2P brawler game (and IMO it’s loads of fun). So women can have bikini DLC, but not guys?
Summer is coming! It’s time to shop for swimwear.
In this week’s patch v.0.9.9, Archeblade gets Swimsuits.
But only for female characters..
You don’t want to see that Dick wears a bikini briefs…right?
Leave a comment below how much you’re excited for swimsuits!
Codebrush Games
How fucking sexist! I want to see men’s swim trunks!!! No man thongs though, got a load of those in Honolulu.
The new Direct X will be a Windows 8/XBox One Exclusive.
Microsoft really knows how to push people to their product:
Microsoft has confirmed that DirectX 11.2, the next-generation version of its application programming interface (API) and hardware abstraction layer (HAL) for multimedia devices will be exclusive to Windows 8.1 and its Xbox One console.
All I have to say to this is C’Mon OpenGL!!! 😀
Revenge of the stomach lining.
I woke up yesterday feeling slightly ill. I think I ate something that didn’t agree with me. Thanks to large amounts of water and tea I felt a lot better around the evening time. I even decided to tidy up a bit around here (really let things go during my off time lol).
I played a bit of Serious Sam Second Encounter and felt like I was stuck in a daze afterwards. Even now I just made a baking soda cocktail to calm my stomach. Hopefully later today when I get up I’ll be fine.
Fun in da sun.
Yesterday it was nice and sunny. I went out and enjoyed the weather, got some white peach tea, sushi, then a lemonade and had a nice quiet picnic at one of the local park.
My Asus ROG backpack arrived in the mail today too. I got everything moved around. Now I can throw away the old backpack. It has a lot of wear and tear on it, but it’s been faithful over the years. It was time to move on.
I love carefree days like that. 8)
No Jury Duty for me
Got excused in the mail. I think they found out I was an evil overlord that would obviously rig the trial. EVERYONE IS GUILTY!
