Oh, right, I wasn't anywhere.

Wow. Finally put in for and got vacation time off. I've only been at the job for nearly four years. Hadn't taken any time over maybe 2 or 3 days since being hired. Before that was around 8 months of unemployment in late 2000. Now I've got time off. How much....

Two weeks!  WOOT!

Since I work weekends, Friday to Monday, that translates to nearly three weeks off. That isn't nrearly the best news...

I've got another two weeks off in May! Wooot!

...and occasional friends.

Our story begins with Scary Lad, and his almost-trusted sidekick Cassie, undertaking the most fiendishly banal and irksome of tasks – the sorting of laundry returned from cleaners.

“I've got a sock...” says Cassie.

“Good, put it with the rest in the pile.” replies Scary Lad.

“but where is the mate?”

“Probably in the sock pile, Cassie. Remember, we first sort the the clothes by type, then we match-up the pairs and deal with folding & hanging.”

“So, when do we iron?

Hmm, it seems it has been awhile since my last post.

Just been working through R6. The game gets really frustrating when you have to play through an area +5 times before somehow clearing it. Then only to get killed before the next progress save. Or worse, one of your almost worthless teammates gets killed (or both go down out in the open and you somehow don't have any smoke). I swear, I have been to the point of telling them to 'hold' while I go clean out a few areas. Any enemy group larger than three and these two numbnuts get killed immediately.

Diaper Wearing Gears Of War Players Shut Down Tournament

Un-freaking-believable! Playing a GOW tournament wearing diapers is one thing, not getting up to clean yourself is bad, but then fetching the coppers because you got kicked out for raising a stink?! Too bad they didn't report his gamertag.

I just hope we don't get any of those types at the 2Old2Con Lan in August.
