The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Late Night Open Thread

Today I got called in early due to a sick call. Pretty good to get extra hours, in fact I’m getting extra ones tomorrow. The downside is that lately we have been even more understaffed than usual due to too many sick people and not enough employees to replace them. And we can’t hire anymore due to “not having enough hours to give out”.

In fact I’ve slacked off quite a bit on my blogging due to just being tired lately. Granted it’s been quiet over the weekend, but I’ve pretty much been doing the work of 3 people. We’re supposed to have 5 people total during the evening and even then we can hardly make ends meet. So you can imagine what it must be like having several sections to cover and only 3 people total running around. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If we had a good union this wouldn’t even be an issue.

Just got home a bit ago and made some homemade shrimp chow mein! Yum! Great after a looong day. I was also greeted by some stuff that I ordered. Now I have even more tea and cocoa for my extremely large tea and cocoa collection. Speaking of that I’m enjoying some jade green tea in my Japanese iron tea pot.

Saturday Morning Open Thread

One of my XLR cables arrived today! So when I got home from hell I went over to my Ubuntu install and got my DAC up and running. After some fiddling around with the settings I got it to transmit with success in TF2 and mumble. But I will be requiring a different XLR cable to plug into both the left and right audio channels. It’s been purchased and should arrive sometime next week.

But yeah, great hearing my awesomely terrible voice over on the linux side.

Are you fucking serious?4

It all started as an internet date.

So what are you in the slammer for, threatening a 12 year old into handing over his XBox?

Deputies said Remy met a woman on an Internet dating site, arranged to go out and then dropped her off at her apartment.

“He was a really nice person,” said the woman, who asked not to be identified. “He gave the waitress a tip. He took me out. It was a really nice date.”

After the date, Remy walked to the neighbors’ home, broke in and found Juan Morales, 12, playing Xbox in the living room, deputies said.

Morales said Remy pointed a gun at the boy’s head and demanded the video game console.

Remy was arrested Tuesday after being identified in a photographic lineup, detectives said.

He deserves to have all of the joysticks shoved up his ass.

You know it’s a good day when you have to explain “Buy one get one free” to someone.

Seriously. I had a customer shopping for trousers/pants, and he wanted to know how buy one get one free worked. So when I told him quite literally “when you buy one, you get another pair absolutely free” he was pissed off that he wasn’t getting a half off discount from the free pair of pants. After going over this with him for about five minutes it eventually sank in.

:headdesk:

Oh, on another note I confronted the main man in charge who happens to not like my blue hair, informing him that the situation will be taken care of. I could see the fear in his eyes. He’s the type of boss that doesn’t like confrontation. This’ll be interesting.
