Resent for whom? you may ask. For my boss. Im getting the rest of the week off because he doesnt want me around. Its not in his budget to keep me working the rest of the week. Which means next weeks paycheck isnt going to amount to even $100. Im glad taxes are going to give me something back.
Thursday I was going to meet an old youth pastor at mine at a pizza place for lunch. Looks like this plan might go a little haywire. Ive got $106 left but Im going to save $100 for a new computer. So I have to borrow money from my dad to eat that day. Saturday, or Friday, Im going over to a friend house. I might get my paycheck, cash it, then go over or wait until Saturday.
Oh why the hell am I telling all of you this? None of you are interested in what I have to say anyway.

Well its official. Im the printer. The other guy hasnt quit, he hasnt been fired, he was more like a free lance printer until the company could get someone (i.e. me) to replace him.
Meanwhile my gaming has gone down considrably. I dont really play my Cube right now, but I keep the games on the list. I have a few new demos fromt he latest Xbox magazine, but I can only play the XB ones. It would be nice if I also had a 360. Oh well. I must say Half-Life 2 on the XB lacks something. Its not the multiplayer, HL2 is a single player game on the PC (as it should be on any other system). It just lacks luster. The graphics are muddled down for some reason. Its wierd because I can get high graphics on my PC but not on my XB? Hmmm....

Well my mom didnt get the surgery done due to other... complications. Which is good, because now I wont have to do everything I would have if she was in Vicatin-land. In other news: I almost got my butt fired from my job. The boss came in and I was sitting down. I can understand why he was mad because I was on the clock. But I had been cleaning a little and couldnt do more cleaning because we ran out of towels.
Well he had some.
In his office.
Locked door and all.
The head printer explained to him why I was sitting down. He wanted me there at 7 this morning and he never showed up. After waiting for an hour, I went back home to get some sleep. When I came back, the head printer had loaded up his van and left. FUBAR.
In short, before I bore you to tears, I get to keep my job. Albeit I doubt I'll get the raise I was going to get.
Even more FUBAR

Well crap. Gamespot took away my Old School badge. They gave me the Top 100 badge. Thats ok, but I want my Old School back. As for my job, I officially started as a printer today. Its a little tougher, but its something different. Now for the bad news: My mom goes in for knee surgery Friday. How is that bad? you ask. Well its bad in this way: I have to help pay for the bills. My mom wont be getting paid because her boss at K-Mart is a complete a-hole. Most of my hard-earned money is now going to help my parents. Sucks to be me, huh? ALso one of my brothers friends says he's going to be working with me. If he does he thinks he'll just goof off with me and joke around all day. Wrong. I'm there to work, not play around. Another problem is my mp3 player. I have no idea what to put on it. 64mb + 32mb card. 96mb and not a thing really put on it.
Sappy New Year

Well its finally 2006. And after spending about 4 days at a friends house for a New Years celebration, Im glad to be home. But I come to home only to learn: Im not going back to work for another week. We're opening up another store and my boss is working on getting the new one together. Meanwhile Im soon getting bumped up to printing. Woohoo! A raise? Even though its technically my 4th week of work? Sure why not?
I also got my GameCube back from my brother. I told him I'll only keep it around for the week until I go back to work, but Im having a little too much fun with it again so I might not give it back. Thats about all I have to write, short but its good.
The price of MY paycheck.

Last weeks paycheck: $199.24. 76 cents short of $200. But with the money left over from the last paycheck, that brings the total to $204. Which was quickly cut in half when my friend wanted to go to the Olive Garden. Then I bought a second Xbox controller and Burnout 3. Paid for my dads gas the next day. Luckily I had a social security check to cash, bringing the total up again. Then I paid $50 for half of my mom's Christmas present. Man, money management is hard. Its either eat or buy a video game. Hey, to me, thats a big choice. I was thinking of buying a used PSP from EB for about $107, but it would probably be one of the buggy ones. Why am I boring you all with this story? I guess I just like torturing you. That and I have nothing else interesting to post.

You never know when your time will come. The reason I say this is that we had an employee of ours get killed last night. All I heard was that he was in a fight. I don't feel its my business to ask anybody what really happened. But its sad. I mean, I was talking to the guy just yesterday about video games. He was telling me he liked PS2 and I was saying I like Xbox and it was a friendly conversation. We were completely different and I didnt even know him that well. Maybe thats what makes me feel bad: the fact that I could have gotten to know him better but now never will have the chance. I dont know any details about a funeral. I want to find and keep his obituary with me at least just out of respect for the guy.
Ow. Part 2.

Today I went to the DMV to get my ID. I thought, what the hey, lets go for a license also. Well I could only get my permit instead, oh well. I passed. I now have my ugly-arse picture ID and can now do things. Its not like I ever did things before that, but I might.
Ow....

I just got off of work. My first day at it. Its a printing place and all I do is clean up. Trust me, its harder than it sounds. I am covered in ink, my feet are killing me, the paint fumes have almost got me high as a kite. But I feel good. Because its an honest living. It may cut into my gaming time a little, I wont be able to stay up late nights to play, but thats ok. I'll be making my own money for a little while. And I do mean a little while. The place is moving on the 13th and I probably wont be able to get there. But woohoo, I hope I'll have some Christmas bonus before then. Looks like we might have a Christmas this year after all. Woohoo!
