They don’t pay me enough…

I had to help a large woman into another motorized cart because the battery on the other one was almost dead. Even worse I had to help lift her up. It was like picking up a fucking boomer. She thanked me and told me that it’s so much easier to get around the store and that she hates walking. Noooo really?

This has to be the Fox News of the gaming realm.

Did you know that the Xbox is more powerful than 85% of all the (billions) of computers out there? Or that Real-Time-Strategy games are actually “turn based” and popular on the PCs because they’re “Single player”. These are just a few gems amidst the treasure of knowledge about computer gaming that you’ll discover at the brilliantly reliable Gametrailers.com.

Leave it to a bunch of XBoxtards with a popular site who don’t know a damn thing about PC gaming to whisper sweet nothings into the people who choose to let themselves become ass slaves to Bill Gates (Minus the million dollars per ass slave).

It’s a shame that my Core 2 Duo laptop with 4 gigs of RAM and 3 GPU’s is inferior to the awesomeness that is the XBox.

Someone give me a trout. I need to slap our ISP with it.

The internet has been an absolute dicknose lately. We had an outage a bit ago but that’s not the worst of it. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been having connection issues with steam. Every time I view their forum or the rest of the community it will either timeout, partly load with broken html and very rarely load correctly. I’ve done a tracert and it consistently dies at the 13th hop out, qwest.

I know that it’s not just me either, others in places like Grants Pass and even parts of California have issues routing through that one point (the rest of the net works fine). Of course despite all of the complaints over here, our corporate internet overlords claim that we’re all imagining it… I’m sick and tired of having to load something again, and again, and again or to be in a game like L4D or L4D2 and suddenly have the connection randomly timeout. It’s bullshit.

The iPhone. So easy a 2 year old can use it

I remember growing up I didn’t have a reason to own a cell phone (in fact I still don’t). When I got into my teens I saw 8 year olds with cellphones. I’ll just die if I see a 5 year old with their own iPhone.

I can’t believe people fall for this.

I had fun with an asshat posing as a VAC manager. Here are the results:

Failure to communicate.

I got to work today at 10am only to find that they cut my hour and didn’t tell me. I have to go back at 2pm. Thank you for not calling me and letting me know, and thank you for ruining my nightly routine just so you people at the top can save a few bucks. I’d go back to bed but I’m too caffeinated to do so.

They surround us.

I had a busy day of work, but nothing compares to what I saw as I was leaving.

We close the store at 10:00 every night and it’s very well known. However, we do get the locals that like to milk it for what it’s worth.

This lady was an absolute witch. We already gave people enough notice that the store was closing and she still had to try sweaters on. One of the leads from a different department informed her that the store was closed, totally ignored her and continued to try on clothes. So she kept telling her to hurry to a checkstand “Stop treating me like a dog!” is what she said back. “I’m not, I’m telling you that we are closed. You need to leave NOW”. “This store is too strict…”. Keep in mind she was in the store for 4 hours straight.

Get a fucking life you twat. If you’re shopping for 4 hours in a store at your own leisure and you still haven’t finished shopping, then you might want to get your head checked. The store is open 15 hours a day 7 days a week. If that isn’t enough for you then please, get a hobby and stop using a fucking grocery store as a social club.
