Fuck You you Fucking Fuckhead Cock Ass!
Local Service Representative: “I’m sorry, we can’t help you, try calling our national number, tell them you’re a Universtity and the nature of your problem and they’ll be able to help you.”
National Service Representative: “I’m sorry, since you don’t have a case number or order number, I can’t help you. I can contact your local zone and see if I’m allowed to give you assistance.”
Yeah, I hate fucking service people. They either don’t know how to fix my problem or aren’t allowed to fix it. Either way, I have to sit here at my desk shoving pencils up my ass waiting to hear back as to how I might be able to make my software work. And when I say my software, what I really mean is the software that was bought without any testing or compatability comparison before it was just dumped in bulk (and short in licences) in my office. “Yeah, we have 20 machines in the classroom and another 30 in the lab. Wait, you only brought me 18 licenses?” So now we have a software that can only run in a classroom that’s almost booked solid so the students can’t work on it out of class, and some of the applications in this monsterous suite (which, by the way, takes up to 45 minutes to install individually on each of the 18 machines) don’t work and no one can even tell me if I’m allowed to have service.
So yeah, fuck you and your fucking eliteist “we know but we’re not telling you” support.

I’m really tired today, it’s cool and drizzly out.
Steve and I agree that it would be the perfect day to have stayed curled up in bed at home. Good thing we both resisted that urge, as we are the only two in the office so far. To be honest, I think it’s more the perfect day to open all the windows in the computer room and play Temple of Elemental Evil. If it came to a little thunder and heavy downpour, it’d be a nice mood for the game.Speaking of ToEE, I’m excited to hear that Atari is actually going to release a patch for it. Now if they just fix Haste (unlike the player made patch) I’ll be exstatic.
I did Very little this weekend, really laid back and took it easy.
Friday we had movie night. Had a good crowd. I don’t think Hard Boiled was as appreciated as Bad Taste, but everyone seemed to have a good time. I’m not sure what I’m going to watch next week, but Craig did remind me that the original intent was for me to pick a movie that I wanted to watch and just let people know so they could come and watch it if they wanted. That would really releive stress on me if that were the case. I’m just too concerned with the happiness of others I guess. I’m going to think on what I want to watch next week (10/17). After the movie, we played a bit of Heroes, but I think everyone was a bit too tired to fully enjoy it. I was definitely too tired to be courteous and start a new character. I should have done that guys, I’m sorry. It wasn’t fair for me to be that much higher level.
Saturday I intended to stay home all day and play Temple, except for 3:00 when I was going to go to Meghan’s birthday party. Instead,
Heather and I went to Goodwill and shopped around a bit, headed over to Gray and Fancy’s for Meghan’s birthday, and then headed down to Best Buy to get 2 Fast 2 Furious and the Underworld soundtrack. At the exit we noticed that Warehouse Music is going out of business and the enitre store was 20-30% off (I didn’t see a single thing that was actually 30% off). We decided we’d make a quick stop in there and see what they had to offer. Looking at their regular prices on new CDs and DVDs made me realize why they’re going out of business. Who in their right mind is going to pay $20+ for a new CD and $25+ for a new DVD. Sheesh. Even at 20% off, their stuff was more expensive than pretty much any other store (except maybe Virgin Megastore). Their used prices however were much more acceptable. CDs for $10 or less and DVDs for $15 or less, and then 20% off that. I got two DVDs and a CD for $23 and Heather got the same for $21. Like a dumbass, I still went to Best Buy and bought my movie and soundtrack for $30. Now my monthly allowance is half gone before the first week of the month is even over.Sunday I finally sat down and played ToEE. Spent most of the day playing and then watched Trading Spaces $100,000. Not a bad episode. I don’t think it really needed to be 2 hours long, but hey, it was fun. After that, Heather and I spent some good, quality time alone together. We’ll just leave it at that.
so now it’s Monday and I’m gonna sit back and make everything I can of it.

Good god, is it Monday again? Days, weeks, months go by so quickly lately, I can barely keep up. It seems that I wait forever for something, the weekend, a holiday, a vacation, and before I know it, it’s come and gone. I appreciated the time I got to relax and I don’t feel like it went by too fast, or that I wasted it, it’s just that I wake up the next dat, back at work, and realize how long I waited for it, and how it seems to have gone by in a blur.
I remember when Iwas a kid, years went by slowly, time passed at a reasonable pace. I had to wait for things to come and it seemed like every day lasted a fair 24 hours. I was even sleeping more then, you know bedtimes and all. Now I spend more hours awake and things still seem to be flying by. I don’t get it. I really do need an extra day in the week. Not so much so I have more time to do stuff, but just to slow this shit down! I just hope I’m not missing anything.

OKay, it’s Thursday and movie night is tomorrow. Per Brandon’s suggestion I rolled the scatergories die. It game up H so I think we’re going to go with Hard Boiled. If people decide tomorrow night that they want to see something else, I’m fine with that, but that’s what’s currently on the menu.
Speaking of menus be sure to bring your favorite snack food and think about bringing enough for everyone. It’s like pot luck movie snacks!
I press play at 8:00

bored bored bored.
Anyone have a suggestion for this Friday’s movie night? I’m not opposed to renting or watching someone elses DVD. I’m just coming up short. So far all I’ve come up with is “O Brother Where Art Thou” or “Mystery Men.” I’d rather do something slightly less mainstream like “Six String Samauri” but I don’t know if we’re really ready for that one.

It’s been a hectic couple days but we got some cool stuff done in the house. While I was tearing down the lighting in the kitchen and replacing it with a strip of track lighting, Heather was tearing up the carpet in the dining room and preparing to refinish it (though it may be in good enough condition to not require refinishing). All that and a few solid hours of D&D Heroes to boot.

So I’m working in the lab again today, two lab attendants sick. I hope nothing’s going around, not that it matters too much, I’m immune. I realize that, for the most part, I really enjoy working in the lab. I like doing desktop support, I like helping people figure out their problems. I like seeing, “meeting,” and talking to all the students and staff. I like being in this environment and having people trust me when I tell the what’s what and value my opinions and ideas when I’m in the lab. I like the fact that I’ve become somewhat of an authority (and an authority figure, though I’m happier about just being an authority on computers and software).

Fear not, this is visible to a select few friends…
It seems that from somewhere, the fit has hit the shan, so to speak. Steve’s right, it does feel like high school only with much larger topics on the wind. I feel like everyone is saying something about everyone else behind their backs, and then those stories get twisted and contorted and corrupted before they make it all the way back around the the person’s face. There’s a lot of shit and a lot of truth flying around right now and sometimes it’s tough to separate the two. There are truths and shit that apply to me and, to be honest, I’m willing to let it all hit me because I know people who are in a much worse place than I am. I still see myself as lucky and fortunate in all of this, regardless of what other people feel or think of me.
I love you all, and I’m serious about the hugs and handshakes thing.
