Another Day in Paradise

Well, yet another day is over.  Im one step closer to worm food.  Bring it on, annelid scum!

Fun day at the office today.  Im a R&D Manager for the worlds largest industrial chocolate manufacturing company.  Im Willy Wonka without the dwarven help.  I do have lickable wallpaper, but it tastes remarkably like wallpaper.  Except one spot near my whiteboard, which seems to taste a bit like cheese.  My job normally consists of helping customers use our products in their products (cocoa powder, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, chocolate, compound, ice cream coatings, inclusions, chocolate chips, chunks, etc.) which they then mark up dramatically and sell to their resepective customers.  Capitalism at its best.

Our Maintenance Manager took a header off of a 30 foot I-beam and broke his arm in 4 places back in February.  Since then Ive been doing his job as well as mine.  This consists of managing 20 mechanics, ordering spare parts and replacement parts for equipment in the plant and dealing with vendors and salespeople.  I HATE this part of the job.  I hate it with a purple passion and the blazing heat of 1,247 suns.  This shmuck isnt going to be back to work until sometime after October.  I pray daily that I fall and break my leg and get 9 months of paid vacation.  At least then Id be able to catch up on some of these games. 

Currently Im in various stages of completion on the following:

  1. Oblivion - 60+ hours in, and I think Im only halfway through it
  2. Rise of Legends - on the third campaign
  3. Stubbs the Zombie - PC version
  4. NBA 2k6 - 10 season of a franchise I believe
  5. Half Life 2:  Episode One
  6. Black and White 2
  7. Playing through Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich again too. 

Please, break my leg.  Ill sit on my tail and game till I ruin my cerebral cortex and my wife finds me drooling on my cast.

Well, enough for today. 

Sheesh

Everyone asks me that. I wonder if the guy working for Remington gets asked for free nose hair trimmers? I can arrange for 40,000 lbs of liquid chocolate to be delivered to the swimming pool of your choice. Snorkle not included.
