Man, I'm not sure why I made some sort of 'store with customers' assumption. They must have put too much crack on my burrito I had for lunch.

It only makes me more angry that it was a bad joke that he thought was funny. Next emergency that pops up he will be reminded of this.

And your situation is far worse than mine Ziggy, I hope that it works out for you.

Someone deserves some coal or flaming boxes of poo. Just different enough to cast suspicion away from bags.

Coal is worth something, so that actually wouldn't be a bad present. Flaming poo, now that would be good. Fast, let me know if you wanna plan something. I have a lighter, and I can make some poo if we need it. :lol:

Meh, I honestly hopes the company goes under or gets broken up and sold off. Fuck them. I can't get fired (unless I steal) and I can't can't transferred since I'm not full time, so I don't have much to worry about (other than typical company cut backs and a lack of hours). But if I was let go in a massive layoff (which isn't likely to happen to me) it wouldn't be a bad thing. I don't plan on being there much longer anyway. Gotta take the A+ Certification exam, then cross your fingers I find a decent job!

Smile: The games my friend picked up for me in Japan the other week will probably show up tomorrow.
Are you addressing a cat in the room?

Mrs. Luke ;) has a spare, but left it at the house as neither of us knew I would need it. I don't mind using my AAA card anyway as the response time where I live is an average of 15 minutes.


Post some pics of the games if you have time!

Ah. I never leave the house without my keys which includes all vehicles and house keys, including for my parent's house even though they live an hour away and I've only needed it once since leaving home. I also don't leave the mouse without my wallet unless it's grabbing something from the car or fetching the mail. Well, or a severe lapse of my sanity. :wink:

It's only 2 games, but one is obscure and I will post them in finds for sure.

smile AND ticked: christmas is over. it is great to see some family and friends. it is also great that i won't be seeing some family for another year.

super ticked: a seller was selling a sega cd + game lot on craigslist. my first email was sent around the 15th or 16th of december. i realize people have lives, but i FINALLY was able to go out and look at it today. the seller said that all sega cd games came with the original cases. after a 40 minute drive, the sega cd games were in generic jewel cases. WTF!!!! :evil: i should have double checked that 'original cases' meant long plastic case with instructions.
if you took a shit, please put it back

Happy: Just got my near-mint copy of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne in the mail! :D
Sad: I can't play it, because, it is the PAL version.
Jealous: Why were European PS1 and Dreamcast CD cases so much nicer than NTSC-U/J ones?
