Fucking Com-Ed

We've had some bad storms today, so bad that while at work this afternoon we were outside watching literally 2 weather fronts collide (clouds and stuff) and actually felt the hot humid air turn to a very cold breeze while the clouds it brought with it moved opposite of the other front and collided.  We watched as weird formations grew from this collision, including the one area of clouds instantly turning green before our eyes as it happened.  That was wild.  And as this happened, tornado sirens went off around us.  Fortunately nothing of that nature happened (that I'm aware of), so the res

To trade or not to trade

That is the question.  I hate trading in games.  I wound up with over 140 titles for the XBox at one point.  I had a decent 360 library going, and while I still remain in the high teens title-wise, I've had to trade stuff in because things are pretty tight financially.

So my latest dilemma revolves around either Stranglehold or Two Worlds.  I'd love to get BioShock, but I'm a giant pussy when it comes to games like that and would probably play sporadically at best, so its better if I just hold off on that one for now.

Occupational Hazard, redux

So I go in to work this morning having had the last half of last week off.  I moved the remaining girl in our dept to the cubicle next to mine, switched her tower so I didn't have to screw with admin access, and in the middle of hooking her comp up my phone rang.  I asked her to answer it for me, she did, told me it sounded like the girl that we fired last week.  So I answer the phone, and sure enough...its her.

Snap, Crackle, and Pop...round 5 (or is it 6?)

So over the weekend my son was playing on the 360 when suddenly there was a flicker and a pop, and the console shut down.  It came back up immediately flashing 3 red lights.  Bah

So last night I'm playing Bejeweled 2, and pop...there it went again.  3 red lights again.  Dammit.

I'm currently on my fifth 360, looks like its time for #6.  I wonder if I should ask for an Elite this time out, or something with a guaranteed cooler processor.  :)

Gonna call tonight after work, hopefully I'll get someone who speaks English.

Does this make me a bad person?

Ok, now that I've got a little touch of blog fever, let me lay some other general nonsense out.  See I normally don't blog (even on MySpace) because I really never figured I had anything all that interesting (at least to strangers) to say.  I still don't, but it seems like a good way to get things off your chest.  Plus it saves space on the Off Topic board.  :D

Occupational Hazard?

I work in an office.  I am an office monkey.  I've never worked in an office environment til this past January, when I was taken off the floor in receiving because apparently the powers that be identified some kind of ability in me to oversee part of the office and troubleshoot problems that arise in the SAP system we use.  Of course I haven't actually received the promotion that goes in line with this job (but you can bet I do the work), but I'm hoping to by the end of the year.  In the office, as with all other areas of the warehouse I work in, we use mostly temporary labor.  I would say
