Smile: Three day weekend.

Frown: I locked the door to the third floor last night with my keys still in the room. $40 for a locksmith to pick the lock. And now I've done something I never thought I would: give my wife a copy of the key to the game room.

That's exactly what happened. I go in that small room to take the keys, door closes, I can't get out and eventually my CPU buddy warps to the same room and gets stuck with me. Fucked up because that isn't supposed to happen. On top of that, I don't use the password system because it makes you lose part of the money / items / points you've gathered along the way. Which means I have to start all over again. On top of that I was doing great. My main character was already maxed out and I had 7 lives left...

Game is Soldiers of Fortune / The Chaos Engine.

:D : My son's first birthday is on Friday!

:( : Mother-in-law, brother-in-law, his wife and my niece are all coming to stay at my house... I have 2 beds total, that includes ours. Not sure how that's going to pan out.

Doesn't really matter though. I am far too excited about my son turning 1 for something like that to bring me down, just not sure what to expect because my mother-in-law has actual mental issues. She is super sweet when she is on her meds. If she isn't... All our bases are belong to her.

Happy: It's getting colder outside and winter is arriving.
Ticked: Thought I had a $125.00 hospital bill from an exam I had done. That I thought was tolerable, since you know, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield. Get on the phone, and my outstanding balance is $400! What good is having insurance in this case?

Scared: 4 people were just let go at work because things are shitty, including one that was just promoted into a much needed position 3 weeks ago. :cry:
