Found some complications with some models I was using regarding my next YCDTOXB, which means I’ll have to put the project on hold and move onto another one. Oh well.
I’ll try to focus on that as soon as my wisdom teeth stop being dicks. They’re still growing after all these years and it hurts like fuck.
Awhile back Adobe “accidentally” released their CS2 products for free then got rid of it. That changes now! Well sort of… They’re at least releasing Phooshop… The first one… That requires old style macs to run it.
Heh, how useful.
Decided to unwind with a bit of CS:GO and SFM. Also tried a new Italian recipe: Pasta shells with tuna lemon caper sauce. It was nom. I ended up eating the whole thing. I don’t feel too bad about it since I normally eat once a day anyway.
I read this today and my face turned a bright shade of red.
Oh, man, an airplane with a crying baby, right? Teh. Worst. It is like they are in pain or something and have no way to communicate that pain except screaming! We, being mamas ourselves, are always really really really nice to people with screaming babies on airplanes. We make sympathy faces at them so they know we understand and do not hate them and will not do anything like reach over, slap their baby, and snarl “shut that nigger baby up.” Wait, WHAT? We know! We did not even warn you that “shut that nigger baby up” was coming, because we are not about to put that in a headline, and “n-word baby” is just silly. The Idaho man, by the way, the one who slapped a black baby and snarled “shut that nigger baby up,” he, just so you know, is not a racist.
You would have to be pretty fucking stupid to slap someones child on a plane with a bunch of other people who wouldn’t hesitate to knock the shit out of you for being a total asshole.
With people getting their tax returns, everything at work has been getting turned upside down by customers throwing shit all over the place and claiming that they’re just supplying us with job security. Yes, they are giving us job security. The problem is there can be too much job security. If we don”t get our work ALL finished we get talked to about it despite how much we work our asses off. I normally work in men’s underwear and socks/men’s athletic/young men’s clothes/men’s big and tall and men’s work clothes which is the biggest area out of all of them since it includes dress shirts, slacks, jeans from all kinds of brands among other things. That is considered one entire department. Back in the old days before I worked there you would normally find two people working together (one for each side). But with cut backs made by upper management, that is left to one person… if they even schedule someone to work that night since upper management has been cutting hours yet again.
There should be five of us working the entire up stairs at all times. But lately people have been getting sick from colds and that really bad flu going around. And we can’t hire anyone because our boss would be forced to shorten everyone else’s hours even moreso (they never add, they only subtract). So we’re left currently with 3 to 4 people (if we’re lucky) at a time. Factor in one of them constantly being called down to cashier and another person being on break/lunch and you have 1 to 2 or even 3 if you’re lucky.
As someone who has been pulled to just about every part of the store I can say that the entire store (all but the meat and seafood dept) are run this way. If you run out of people that can work with you they call other people from other departments to try and work for them, even if they lack the proper experience. I remember being pulled into bakery when I had no experience. They gave me one day of training and I still didn’t learn everything. But I was still expected to run the entire bakery by myself and be completely finished by 9pm. I think out of all the times they made me work over there I only got out on time twice. Hell even with cutting corners I still couldn’t get out on time.
The sad part is that I can bitch about this for hours on end, and it won’t change anything. I can tell my boss that we didn’t accomplish much due to “this this this this and this” and they’ll swear up and down that “Ohhh if you do this this this this and this THIS way, you’ll get it done” when in reality they don’t even know what the fuck they’re talking about.
I was hoping with this new job that things would get better. I may have to revisit my idea to jump ship and find employment elsewhere.
It was nice again today. Decided to just laze about and not do much. Played some Witcher, Serious Sam 3 and TF2. Unfortunately didn’t get around to one of my next projects that I’ll be releasing as another short YCDTOXB. But I’m over half way done with it I just need to finish one scene and start one more scene. This may be the most controversial one I’ve ever released. To make it more confusing it won’t even be about maps either, also too.
“Honey, I’m going googling! Errr I mean shopping!”
The mission of the stores is to get new Google Nexus, Chrome, and especially upcoming products into the hands of prospective customers. Google feels right now that many potential customers need to get hands-on experience with its products before they are willing to purchase.
The new DoA (Dead or Alive) will give people the option of playing with titties.
This is just creepy. Not because I could imagine a bunch of horny dudes having several hours of fun playing with digital titties (Gmod has plenty of that going on anyway) but they look like living objects that want to break free from her chest. Seriously, what the hell? Did she have jello breast implants or something?
Seems quite a few people think this is the best game addition ever. Now they just have to make some kind of game where you do nothing but play with titties and asses. That’s it, nothing else. I’m sure they’d still sell billions. 8)
Yesterday was a nice 77 degree winter day. It was so nice that I decided to go for a cherry lime soda. I figured with the last 6 days of work I’d enjoy a bit of me time.
Enjoyed some linux beta testing too. My XLR cable arrived finally (and with the arrival of Tux for TF2 not a moment too soon) so plugged in and BS’d in mumble with Yutram while downloading all of the linux games in my library. I installed World Of Goo and that seemed to work ok, other than there was no sound for whatever reason. Faerie Solitare didn’t work, nor did Psychonauts, didn’t test Amnesia or Dungeons of Dredmor yet. CS:S worked, but Half Life and original Counter Strike were kinda trippy. There was some strange physical latency. I could turn my mouse just fine with no lag whatsoever, but it constantly lagged in the engine itself. I’m not sure how to explain it. Hell if I just stood there I would bob up and down on the floor or be raised up to the ceiling. With the constant bobbing it looked like I was humping everything, including Barney. He’d let me out of the train and he’d do the moon walk back to the system terminal, where my game would take over and start bobbing up and down while standing behind him. I wish I could have filmed it. Then he’d wave his magic fingers in mid air and open up the door to Black Mesa.
Weird Stuff.
Logged into Ubuntu today to test out my preamp with new cables (works great btw! I sound a bit different, but that’s to be expected), and found out about this.
Tux comes in 3 different styles. Regular, Demoman, and Pyro.
