I guess I’m kind of an idiot. I didn’t even mention what the Community was when I announced it Monday.
Announcement!
I have started a new LJ Community in which I will collect Spam Email… if you have any that is particularly funny, original, or artistic, feel free to join and submit it. It is a moderated community, so only the best spam can pass on, but I am a very bored individual and spend most of my time online (as most of you know) so posts should go up fairly quickly).

I am so tempted to go home as soon as someone takes over in the lab and not come back until Monday. Someone convince me to do otherwise. The fate of my week is in your hands.
Update
Okay, so my boss said I’d be here Thursday and Friday… I guess it’s no longer in your hands.

I’ve been spending way too much time at this checkin desk, my butt and knees are killing me… Maybe I need to invest in a better chair for the labees. I’ll just be glad when I don’t have to cover so many shifts. I have myself scheduled for 8 hours a week in here, but I don’t think I’ve come even close to that since Summer I began.
Mabye I’ll take tomorrow and Friday off. ouch.

I’ve been playing Amplitude again since I can’t seem to focus on anything else right now (I tried to load up Vampire yesterday, but got distracted before I even started the game). I’ve been getting better again and finding “the zone” once in a while, but it still gets frustrating as I’m starting with the game partially completed and that means I’ve already done all the easy levels back when I first got the game. I tried playing online the other day but that was just pathetic on multiple levels. For one, there was really only one game to be played, and it was at a difficulty level I was not prepared for, so I just did horribly. Anyway, it’s been fun and I’m once again wishing that someone, somwhere released soundtracks not only for Amplitude, but also it’s predescesor FreQency. I managed to rip a bunch of tracks out of FreQuency a while back, but they’re not the best quality and they repeat strangely since they’re all set to loop on the game. I wish someone would just release a CD with these games, I mean if they’re going to get all real artists together to make the music for a game, you might as well cash in on that and sell the compilation CD.
Heather’s sick today. I really think a lot of her problems (if not all of them) stem from her inability to relax. A couple years ago, I encouraged her to exercise more because I thought it would help her manage stress and allow her to enjoy her time at home better, but she couldn’t really keep it up and didn’t really feel like it was helping any. Today shes curled up in bed, tied up in knots with a stomach ache and I’m convinced it’s probably stress related. She just can’t relax like normal people, if she isn’t distracted by TV or asleep, she’s constantly thinking (and more importantly, worrying) about something. She’s constantly stressed out about something, work, sex, house work, money, etc. She just can’t stop worrying and mulling over things. It makes me sad to see her this way, and I really wish I could help, but she doesn’t have the energy and the willpower to change her living habits to be better, healthier, or more active, so she worries about that, too.

Bored bored bored. Watching 28 Days Later because talking to Danny earlier reminded me how much I liked Dawn of the Dead (2004) and since that’s not out on DVD yet, this one has to do. Its a really good movie, just not the same flavor as Dawn.
Anyway, 
Blue Warrior and I have been discussing semi-regular online gaming. As we spread out, further and further around and away from campus, all us gamers don’t spend nearly as much time together as we’d like, so we need to do something to be social. And while online gaming is usualy a nest of 1337 haxorz and fuckwads, if you know who you’re getting involved with, it’s a lot more tollerable, so the thought of hooking up online with Nick and Sean (and anyone who reads this, you must be cool enough if I added you as a friend), would be greatly entertaining and worth while. So now Sean knows how to text message me (not like there isn’t a link on my user page) and he can call Game On at any time and I’ll hop on the computer, load up ICQ and see whats the haps.
God, only 45 minutes left.
So the coveted full-time position that gets paid more than I do, has about 1/10th the responsibility, and yet is still in SOVA has come up for hire once again and I have, once again, decided not to persue it because I’d rather work in the building here and hope for a better environment (when we finally get a new dean) than work over there where I’d still be working for the old dean and have a grant funded job (longevity is sketchy when you’re grant funded). Though, I have to admit, it is tempting. I’d still rather see this job get better, than run away to one that pays more, but could be much worse.
Update: Blue Warrior is now Blue Warrior.
