What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Smile: Snow day today due to ice!
Frown: Power outage in my neighborhood due to ice.
Smile: Went to local McDonalds to use the WiFi, and I plan on staying most of the day. There is a young kid in front of me playing Portal on his laptop. It warms my heart to see young gamers playing an FPS other than Call of Duty.

Portal is an FPS? I always thought of it as an action puzzle game.

I checked my facebook account just now and saw one of my friends posted a video with the message :

"Check this out! This guy is awesome! As is the rest of his show."

It was a Dane Cook clip. Having never heard of Dane Cook before, I gave it a go. This was the clip :

A friend of mine told me a "humorous" story that he had heard on a comedy special, but couldn't remember the comedian's name. I guessed "Dane Cook" because it wasn't funny. I was right.

In the game, the primary action is shooting at things from a first-person perspective. I rest my case.

I don't consider Portal an FPS because it actually requires brainpower to play. Any idiot can play Call of Duty. I consider Portal/Half life action puzzle games that happen to be in the first person perspective.

SMILE: Promoted to fulltime at work, which means I will finally get insurance. I work for a small, family owned pet supply store and they only have 3 fulltimers so it is a pretty big deal. I have only been there about a year and I have already gotten a two dollar raise and now this. I love it so I am happy that I can stay here for a long time without worrying about money and insurance.

FROWN: I spend many years as a vet tech and LOVED it. Plus, I was DAMN good at it. This move to fulltime makes me feel like I am giving up on the chance at every being a tech again. I hated every doctor I worked for though, too much concern about money and not just in a "let's be realistic, this is a business and we need to support ourselves" sense, but a "lie to clients and risk their animal's lives even for unnecessary procedures" sense. One doctor actually lied to a client once and said their animal was alive even though he killed it during surgery. This way he could charge them for a couple more nights of hospitalization. This guy is under investigation by the veterinary board. I still held out hope that there was a perfect practice with perfect people somewhere out there (I know there are, but they don't have job openings, surprise surprise).

smile: spent 2 days memorizing 65-70 bacteria and viruses and specific characteristics of each one along with a bunch of other shit and i got a 92 on the exam. i don't normally like to brag about 92s, or grades for that matter, but the fact i was able to get the job done in less than 2 days makes me very happy.

pissed: last week i was able to run in shorts and t-shirt. today: long pants, gloves, and 2 shirts. WTF? come on mother nature, quit teasing us.
