:D : Started training on a new route today so I'll be able to sub for 3 out of the 7 we have. Was kind of nervous since they get a crap load of packages on this route so I thought it was longer the route I usually do, but it's really only 36 miles as opposed to the 64 miles I usually run. Most of the route isn't to far out of town either so I wouldn't lose a ton of time if I had to make two trips out of it. That being said it is loopy as hell with a bunch of grid style neighborhoods that you have to navigate in weird ways to get all the boxes. Think I've got the patterns down glad they stick me with just 1/3rd of the route for 3 days before making me run the full thing though.

Dear, Navient, you don't get to give me a second, different, bill for September after I paid your bill for September. Two days before the due date, even.

What a bunch of crooks.

:P : Saw a bunch of good deals on GBA on Amazon so I compiled a wish list and was going to nab them today since I got paid. However after popping up the list which I'd built up over the last 3 days I was notified that the price of every single game had increased and not just by $1-2, but $5+ for most of them which ended up more then doubling the total cost so I said fuck it and dumped the list :lol: . Will just have to keep an eye out in the future and jump on the deals when I see them.

:) : Did snag one game the other day from Amazon Warehouse Deals and it came in today in much better shape then I was expecting. Picked up Disgaea Infinite(PSP) for $8.34 with prime shipping it was rated good condition, but it's like new :). Now I have at least 1 version of every Disgaea game released in the U.S.

Yes never watch or wishlist physical games (Digital is ok), "they" are watching. If anything go throwback with pencil and paper notes. Lol

Supposingly Disgaea games are near infinite so 1 game should be more than enough. I have Disgaea 4 and its PS TV compatible, Sweet :)

This is for yesterday but I'm still mad about it. I got about 2 years ago now the Nexus 7 32GB 2013 model that was touted as super awesome then, but only in the year since it has become a bane of many peoples enjoyment and the problem really magnified with Android 5.x. Mine expired in a bitchy fury last night.

For awhile it has been getting worse where it would repeatedly lock itself. The thing is overheat prone even pre Android 5 and it would on some games overheat to where it would shut down to cool itself. It's known in general to randomly discharge the battery and not restart without going through steps of plugging it in and out of power while playing with the power button which happened a week or two ago. Ultimately last night I tried and yet again failed putting KitKat on it. It rebooted fine, had most of my apps at the time it choked restored, and was playing a basic game on it and it went blip! I couldn't get it back on.

Eventually I got it into the factory recovery/etc area but only knew that poking at it some as the screen would barely pop on then off. Eventually it tried to reboot twice but the back light was out, barely could see it, and it locked up both times. I got fed up and walked off, came back like 15min later with it plugged in, and pop it came on with rainbow dots everywhere. Then it would clear up and it would be a static lock screen with some info bars of stuff being done, but they weren't moving. Basically the entire screen mechanism failed and something else was also failing elsewhere causing that too.

It got put out of its misery. :\ I'm not made of money, not sure what to do. I can wrangle around $300 from paypal once I get a refund back on an ebay item. I'd like to get a Shield Tablet, and of course no one wants to carry them now due to the battery recall. Crap and crap on that too. >:[
