Hmmm...I don't have anything totally compelling to talk about today. I'm bored out of my mind, but have little energy to do much. Friday can't get here fast enough. I imagine I'll be bolting out the door of work Friday afternoon, praising the heavens for a week of total solidarity and relaxation. No customers! No whiny techs! No stupid CSR's! Yeah!!!! I'm on V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N!!!!
Okay, so I'm jumping ahead of myself a bit. I'll be excited on Friday, providing I survive those last two days...
I did write a review of Grandia the other day, but my Firefox froze and I lost the whole thing. I didn't feel like doing it over...maybe some other time.
I may have to buy myself a new PS2 soon...like next week...If that's the case, it will be my third one...Which kinda ticks me off, but then again, when I sit down to play a game, I sit down and play. We're talking an all day event...*laughs* My record is 15 hours in one day...Sad, but true...But what can you expect of someone who is trapped in a house, on a lay off from work, earning 90 bucks a week from Unemployment? Hmmm? I'll sit on my ass and play video games, thank you very much.
That brings me to another topic to bitch about. Unemployment. What a stupid faction of the WA state government. They piss me off. I can't figure out for the life of me, how I make so little when myself and my company pay so much into it....it utterly baffels me. I'll make more this year, since my old claim will close again in November, but still....I'll be lucky to bring home 150 bucks after taxes...How the hell do they manage to tax money that has already been taxed? And what's this shit about me having to look for a friggin job? I have a damn job. I get laid off for two months each year and I always go back. I work 10 hours a week to keep my benifits, yet they still try to tell me I need to do a job search, even though I'm still employed by my company....Shit on them...I pay for that damn money they try to keep me from collecting....so just shut the hell up and give it to me. I'm not some construction worker or union laborer. I'm not a farm worker. I'm not some shlub who sits on their ass until their claim runs out because their too lazy to work...and who gives a shit if they do sit on their ass. They paid for that money....when it runs out, well...they better buck up and find a job...I hate how Unenjoyment makes life difficult....I look forward to my two months of bliss. I want to sit on my ass and recover from the stress and anxiety of my stupid job...I NEED TO SIT ON MY ASS...if not, I'll probably kill someone. After a nice rest, I'm ready to go back to my job and deal with all our stupid customers, stupid corporation rules, stupid everything...Unenjoyment needs to take a step back and realize that not everyone is in the same boat...not everyone will be laid off with out any idea of when they'll go back to work. I know when I'll go back. I always go back....technically, I never leave....
As you can see, I'm still pretty cranky. I'm still sick...though feeling much better than earlier. I haven't been able to go the gym for two weeks, but next week I'll be back I believe. If I'm not coughing up a lung...I hate being sick...and I get sick all the friggin time.
Anyway, the PS2 thing bothers me. I'm trying to save money for lay off. Hoping to have enough in the bank to cover two car payments and a handful of other bills. I've cut spending on DVD's and manga to a great extent...and while I'd sell my soul to replace a broken PS2...I keep hoping it will hold out until at least Feb. Income taxes come back then...no problem getting a new one then....
Well....I've whined enough for today....next time I might come back with something interesting to say....
