The Latest In "I'm a day off-aholic"...

Wednesday Morning Edition


Ahem. My name is Keith.

"Hi Keith."

I'm a recovering day off-aholic. I'm currently finishing 20 days straight of work. And I plan to go at LEAST 10 more, probably more like 14.

*clapclapclapclap*

FUCK YOU!!

Yes yes, it's baaaaaaaaack.

For the sake of arguement, let's say I enjoy my job enough to work a month straight. Now let's get back to reality.

In all honesty, I don't have any issues with my job to require days off, it's just that the body needs time to wind down, veg out, and so on. Even the all-too brief interludes of David are only so much help.

This last Saturday (day 16) I got home from work by 7:30 then waited for David to arrive by 9-ish. We fucked around some, him checking out my PC while I showed him Fable. At 10:15 we had to go drop off his car to get worked on and then off to the comic store to spend money we don't have.

After we got back, we played X-Men Legends till around 4:50, then went BACK to pick up his car and went our seperate ways. I went home and read the comics I bought, keeping myself up till 6:30. I slept for 3 hours and went to work for day 17.

I lazied out and kept Fable past it's due back date. Now I need to return it by Saturday for a late fee. I also got through half of the Punisher, which doesn't suck.

This week marks the start of the two new audit hires. Nicole is working evening hours to learn the desk for 3 days while Balmont works morning hours for the same reason. He's supposed to work overnight Friday and Saturday though... We shall see.

This Thursday night/Friday morning marks my first take home from this straight time, a paycheck with 32+ hours of Overtime as well as the probable pay rate increase. The end of Saturday also adds another 16 hours of OT to my NEXT check. To be honest, I'd like to have next weekend off, sure I would. But it won't happen. And if it doesn't, I want to work straight, garnering another 16 OT hours to give me a second check of 32 OT hours, plus allowing me to say I worked 31 straight days (at least).

I need a vehicle and lower bills. Problem is, I can only have one, and the vehicle is more important. The thing is how to get the vehicle while I have all these bills...

I did all the stuff I said I was going to, except I also picked up Pac Man Classic NES for the GBA and a metal carry case which holds the GBA:SP and two games (not including the one in the system). That works out now that I own exactly 3 GBA games.

Fin fuckers!

The Latest In "I'm a day off-aholic"...

Friday Morning Edition


Ahem.

My name is Keith.

"Hi Keith."

I'm a recovering day off-aholic. I'm currently finishing 15 days straight of work. And I plan to go at LEAST 15 more, probably more like 22.

*clapclapclapclap*

FUCK YOU!!

Yeah. That's pretty much me in a nutshell. No time off means a cranky without being cranky me. It's tough to explain, but I'm a shell of my fat self.

I recently enjoyed a brief spending spree, hitting up BJ's Wholesale for water for my dispenser, I also grabbed the final Dark Tower book for LF, then the Holy Trilogy (if you don't know what that is, be damned for all eternity) and the final volume (4) of Futurama. I also got a few LARGE cases of Dew and a 1000 count box of plastic knives.

I rented Punisher and something else from Blockbuster (my Movie Pass auto-renewed, so I figured I outta at least pretend like I have time to watch a movie) and rented Fable for the Box. So far it's kinda fun, but I haven't progressed far enough for any serious changes.

The plan for today... Haircut, a musthave. Then to EBGames to trade in my Game Boy Advance, SpiderMan 2 (XBox), Dead to Rights (XBox), and pick up a Game Boy Advance SP (Nintendo controller edition), Super Mario Advance 3, and X-Men Legends (XBox).

I've considered getting the new PSTwo (which is to a PS2 what the PSOne was to the PS). A smaller, slimmer system, it's "neato". In the end, I just bought this second PS2 a year ago, and I just don't see wasting the money. However, I'm considering buying it for David for Xmas, cause it'll store easier.

I've been told I'll be getting a pay increase soon for no other reason then I'm the fuckin MAN!, or something like that. Which is cool, cause in a month my one year evaluation comes up (technicality, I'd have been here for 15 months by that time) which should garner me a raise, then my promotion raise, and finally my 90 day in a new position raise. Hope for the best!

Peace bitches. And join Dark City of Singe. I guarentee you'll regret it.

The Latest In Bored Worker Ranting

So I said to a guy, "what is it, about cocaine, that makes it so wonderful?" He said "well, it intensifies your personality". And I said "well yes, but what if you're an asshole?"

Tuesday Morning Edition


Work took me 12 minutes.

That's right dammit. Twelve. As in just over ten, or just under fifteen. My entire damned day (ok, not the whole day, but easily half) took twelve minutes to accomplish.

Why?

Because miss THANG aint here. Thank you oh merciful one!

Seems her family was blown up, hit with a plane, run over with a train, and drowned. How convenient.

Actually, she called me at home pretty late while I was attempting to sleep and told me some shit happened and she wouldn't make it in. Bro in the emergency room or something. I think it's a crock, but who am I to judge.

Me, I get a mostly free night to write stuff and annoy people.

And Sammy boy, that blog t'aint new!

Labor Day Edition


Ugh.

I'm never leaving the Audit. Not ever. This trainee chick is annoying. Very much so. It's all too overwhelming, she should just do a little work then sit back and watch me do the rest, and it's always too cold!

God shoot me. Right in the nuts.

She may have titty and a small bit of ass, but she's such a whiner!

Course, I bitch and moan like a woman, I really do. I'm upfront and vocal about the things I feel are an issue cause daddy taught me don't take shit from no one.

But I still do what I have to do at the speed and focus it needs to be done.

She won't last. It just won't happen. And they are taking their SWEET time hiring more auditors. Meanwhile I sit and stew, unable to get my well deserved promotion because those assbags don't care about night crew.

And they wonder why worker turnaround is so high.

At this point with Quadir leaving me in the dust and this girls inability to friggin WORK leads me to the stark realization that I'm 3 days away from non-stop straight time. I'll have Tuesday and Wednesday off and after that, maybe never again.

The worst thing is I was alone after barely two weeks. Earlier than that even. I was dropped in feet first and it was swim or drown, and I expect the same of those I train. Why should I go easy? These people are affecting my promotion!!

This weekend it's going to be hectic and busy. She won't survive, cause she knows jack shit about the front desk (and therefore no help) and is slow as molasses at the audit (and therefore no help). I'm alone without a titty to grab.

Fuck my shitty life.

Diploma's ...

:: Chokeslammed; Madmonky :: 9:39:00 PM

Well turns out that I will not be receiving my diploma in 2 weeks because i have gotten it today. I am now officially graduated with papers and all. Go me.




Freedom and 1' & 0's ... & 2's

:: Chokeslammed; Madmonky :: 10:25:00 AM

quote: Franklin D. Roosevelt

In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.


Well, I'm back from my cruise and I must say it was great. Was it because of the titty I got? Well of course, what kind of stupid question is that. However, that isn't the only reason why. I learned a lot on this cruise. Even Keith said that I seem to be a different (and yes different in a good way) person. And I am. I'm more proud of myself and more confident in myself. I learned that although I may think in 1's and 0's, that sometimes you need to think about the 2's. Which is the same as saying thinking about the grey/fuzzy logic areas, but it was never explained to me in terms of 1's, 0's and 2's. It sounds funny I know, but that 2 makes all the difference. It helps me to deal with the illogical and sometimes irrational nature of people. Plus it allows me to not always need a 1 or 0 reason as to why I do something.

For example, on my cruise, I ... dare I say it ... got tongue ring. Which everyone (except my mom) says that it is totally not like me to do something like that. My mom said she was surprised, but not shocked because it is always the quiet ones that are the strangest :-). And I know Keith is reading this saying "Since when has that mo-fo been quiet." But my mom didn't mean quiet in a vocal sense so piss off. :-p.

So I have pretty much completed my change and I for the first time in a long time have managed to achieve that all natural "Dave High". Now the only left to do is to make sure I never lose that high again.

And to Keith I just want to say thank you for being there to kick my ass back in to shape.

As for my freedom, I found out yesterday that my academic record is good, and that I can now graduate from NJIT and that my diploma will be in my hands in about 2 weeks. Oh that smell of complete freedom. How I have missed it. So now I have freedom, I have the 2 and all I need is the titty (which I am currently looking for.)
