I'll just leave this here

I haven't updated in awhile so I'll just empty my head out here.

Rock Band 2 was purchased by a close associate with a lot of disposable income. I was quickly depressed that I was only proficient at the parts of the game that required little real-life talent. I can do a lot of the guitar songs on hard with little practice, but I can't find pitch or sing for shit, and for some goddamn annoying reason this bugged the hell out of me.

Snow is a motherfucking BITCH when you're not 5-16 years old. I wanted nothing more than to go out and run around and have fun but it was goddamn cold out and every time I tried to make a snowman the dogs destroyed it because they thought I was making a snowball for them to catch. Also, one of our dogs enjoys hiding in snow banks for long periods of time.

Long underwear is absolutely fantastic.

Two friends but not one friend has come up here from Portland for the holy days. I've been enjoying time with one of them but I have yet to contact the other and I should really get on that because I don't see or talk to her nearly enough. We will likely go to Seattle and eat noodles or something.

Baldur's Gate is a good game to play when you do not want to spend money on video games or movies or whatever for a few months. Especially since there's enough modular content floating around out there to fill three more installments. Eldrich Dayfucker the Archer/Cleric is ravaging the countryside of Amn with his indifference and clout.

I got a pair of chattering teeth for Christmas but they are neither poisonous or sharpened so what's the point?

My new watch is a Timex which I understand is fairly low class but it fits my wrist better than any other watch I've owned and it also tells me what time it is which I enjoy very much.

I bought another copy of Final Fantasy X when Season and I realized that we couldn't find our old copy and also we remembered that it was fucked somewhere around Besaid Island. I got it in a bundle deal from some guy on the internet along with Metal Slug Anthology, because she wanted to play it again. She claimed that we were going to take turns, but she has yet to take hers and I've just acquired the airship.

The commercial for that PediPaws thing is a pile of bullshit(duh). The only dog in the house that isn't skiddish about having his nails trimmed is the one that's terrified of out-of-place furnature. I got it to trim MY dog's nails, since they're getting very long and one of them broke. He won't let me do anything to them, so I'm probably going to have to take him to the vet to get sedated while a vet tech clips them. Hopefully this will give me enough time to get him used to it.

Club Nintendo is interesting, but now that I've registered everything I only got halfway to the Game 'N' Watch collection I wanted.

My cat pisses slightly off the side of his catbox, and also I caught him eating his food, moving slightly to the left, throwing up, and then moving back and continuing eating.

I want to write just like John Hodgman, except I want to write about different things than John Hodgman because if I did not adhere to that second condition I would be stealing from John Hodgman and I do not wish to do that.

Old Super Mario cartoons are horrible.

FFFFFFFFFF

damn man

Okay, so, I may or may not be in trouble at work. I'll start from about a week ago because I just can't seem to update anything with any frequency whatsoever HERE WE GO

Since the population of Port Orchard just loves not paying any taxes at all the school district's levy fails with an alarming frequency. I believe it's been losing for the past five years or so. Anyway, cuts are constantly being made, and recently there were some cuts made to the custodial department. No jobs were taken from anyone who had them, but they fiddled with some of the part-timers' shifts and just didn't fill some slots that retired within the school year. That's fine, it's damage control, although three or four part-time shifts are rovers and they're doing mostly useless shit all year.

Anyway, the only way that I'm going to be able to slide in anywhere is if someone quits from a position that is necessary. Well, that happened last week! The gentleman at an elementary school left for a job at the Coast Guard, and one of the swing shift guys at a middle school took his place. So, theoretically, his shift should be opening soon. However, the sub office has given the shift to a new sub. Now, I don't want to harp on anyone's work or anything, but I've been working at the district for three years, and I'd like to think that if there was a position opening up, and for whatever reason they weren't putting it up on the site like every other goddamn time a job has ever been available, that it would go to someone with some seniority, and not just a random new person.

I really, really don't want to be "that guy" that pitches a bitch fit about union rules whenever something happens that involved him not getting something, but dammit I've been trying to get hired on permanently for two years of the three years that I've been impressing everyone I've come in contact with.

Or so I thought...

While lamenting this situation to another custodian, I was informed that at some previous time in my experience working for the school district, I was denied a job that I had applied for because I was "lazy". More specifically, that I started out strong, but petered out as time went on. I don't really remember a specific time when I felt that this was the case, usually if I feel like I'm crapping out I try to bring myself back up specifically so that this doesn't happen to me. But, apparently somewhere early on I got labelled as a poo-poo worker. Now, hopefully this was a long time ago, and has since been dispelled by the sheer volume of character references I have on my resume, but it really could have happened any time. Now, there is at least a slight chance that this person is just an insane gossipeer, but I don't really think she's the kind of person to do that.

So I don't know what's going to happen. I just want regular work, I'm sick of not knowing how big my paycheck is going to be every month. I really want to be able to plan properly for this and that.

I'd also like to have health insurance.

And a hoverboard.
