I figured I'd better write something that resembles some substance. I don't want this blog to turn into one of those with just youtube links, regardless of how amusing they are.
Sadly, I don't have much to report. My job still sucks and I'm counting down the days until I'm laid off. I haven't decided if I want to take a full layoff and tell them not to call me back, or do a temp layoff and pray to god I can find a job before it's time to start working again. It's a tough decision. I'm not sure I can do another season there without going completely and utterly insane. If anyone thought things couldn't get worse at TG, YOU WERE WRONG.
Anyway, I'm a bit miffed at my computer. Or perhaps my router. I can't figure out which. Or maybe I'm miffed at WoW. Every time I turn my computer off (which isn't very often), WoW lags. This makes my new found joy of Battlegrounds a nightmare. PvPing while lagging = death. Swift death. It usually rights itself later on, or after I get pissed enough to unplug the router a few times. I really haven't set up a controlled experiment yet to see exactly what the cause of this is. All I know is it irritates the hell out of me.
I've discovered the joy of NPR radio. Yesterday I listened to taped conversations by LBJ to various people. It was awesome. Sadly, today I couldn't get the channel to come in at all. Work trucks are shitty like that. tomorrow I'm going to duct tape a large tinfoil ball to my antenna. Maybe that will help. If not, it'll make the guys at work wonder if I've really fallen off my rocker. Hee. Hee. <--dry laugh.
Speaking once again of work, yesterday as I was leaving I made a sarcastic comment to my bosses, asking if 'I was free to go'. Because, you know, work is slave-like most days. Bossman replies jokingly that "No, you have to stay forever." Now this just sent a chill down my spine, even if it was supposed to be funny. As I was walking out the door I paused, "Well, I guess I'll just have to kill myself, then." He didn't think it was very funny. :/

Who knew?!
I figured it was pretty much just right-wing radio out there, aside from the normal music stations.

Posted by: Jeff at August 20, 2008 07:34 PMOh, it's mostly right wing radio out here, which I'm forced to listen to after I get sick of hearing the same song over and over and over again. NPR is a breath of fresh air if you can get the station to come in.
Posted by: Zoso at August 20, 2008 07:40 PMHang in there with the state stuff. They're thinking of moving us to a permanent 4 day work week! Sweet.
They do the freeze every year. Just hold tight and keep applying anywhere that interests you! You'll land something!
