:mrgreen: = Won a "like new" copy of Rival Schools for PSX at eBay for $41 (pretty rare since most like new copies of RS cost over $70).

:? : Once again, work. I've been working in electronics for the past few months, and this week my managers decided to move me to chemicals (one of the hardest parts of the store to work) from now on. Apparently I'm a good enough worker that they think I should be doing a harder job, which is nice that they think that, but at the same time it means my work suddenly got harder for no extra pay and I'm not doing what I enjoy anymore. I honestly do not know how to feel about this. And interestingly enough, I'm told I'm the fourth person in a row now that used to work electronics that was suddenly moved over to chemicals. The people who did chemicals before me became started working IMS afterwards, so maybe that's where I'm headed later?

:( : Daylight savings ends tonight, and since I work nights the time will change while I'm on the clock. I've been told overnight people are still going to leave at 7 AM regardless, meaning I'll be at work an hour longer than normal. And to think, I used to like the end of DST because it meant an hour's extra sleep.

:| : I pre-ordered ZoE HD Collection LE the day it became available back in September, off Amazon. Today I got an email saying my order was mis-processed, and that I've been sent a refund. I contacted Amazon, and they let me order it again with one-day shipping free. However, they won't have any available until the 5th.

Smile: Heading out for a football game with friends.

Supersmile: A buddy who could give two squats about football is dropping us off at our gate and picking us up post game. Tailgating in your living room beats tailgating with a bunch of overly drunk college kids.

You'd think considering how many years 24 hour wal-marts have existed, they would've figured out what to do with daylight savings a long time ago, but nope. They seem to change it up every year. I wonder how we're going to handle it tomorrow where I work?

We've got the standard edition, but not the LE.

Smile: about to create a syllabus for "The Art, History, and Culture of Video Games" to be (likely) taught next year...

Frown: looks like the weather is done warming up for the year :(

:) : Going hunting later today.

Saw a cute asian girl in a telecom shop a few days ago. Really was thinking of asking her out one way or the other. Which happens maybe once every few years. Like literally, once every few years. So when I saw a friend of mine today that works in the same chain, I brought it up. First thing he says to me: "Oh yeah, that asian chick. That's the only girl I've cheated on my wife with."
