What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

I've never been paid a penny for my lectures at ECU, then again I've never asked for compensation.

apples and oranges, Luke.

Cute pups are they min pins

One is a hairless American terrier the other is a rat terrier. They are basically the same breed but for what ever reason they aren't called hairless rat terriers.

I ended up not even going anywhere today I just hung out at my dads house with the dogs and grilled some awesome foods. Probably going to do the same thing tomorrow since he's got bacon bratwurst. They were frozen so I didn't cook them today.

On the subject of the email. All admins used to have global privs until a couple admins got into a fight over the best way to remove files. One was arguing safety, while the other was arguing speed. The email went back and forth until somebody did something really stupid and deleted a bunch of important files. Ever since email has been locked down to Supervisors and L3's only.

Commute: My first job I had to walk over 45 minutes to work, and it wasn't an easy walk. I lot of up-hill walking, and some parts I had to cross bridges with no side-walks.
Best Buy, I drove over an hour to work every day. Really sucked when we had morning team-meetings. Some of them wouldn't even last an hour... Cost more in gas than I got paid from going.
Now I drive 15 minutes to work. At least until they move to a new building...

Got lots of game-time in on my first day off. I haven't sat down and played video games like that for a looooooong time.

Second day off I barely got to play any games at all, but I still got a lot of time to sit back and chill.

Finally got everything ready to get this wisdom tooth out. The dentist was really rough though. When I sat in the chair, he basically shoved me down into it...

Having an awful first day back at work. I'm so sick of this crap. Ah, well... getting paid.

Haven't touched B/S/T for a few days. Trying to avoid anything that will tempt me to purchase more games. Cara found a Zelda Four Swords Adventure in the wild, so we bought it. Really need to get into the habit of keeping to the game budget and trying to stay frugal.

Hit a auction today and out bid a pair of game dealers for a snes and games they tried blowing smoke up my butt by saying the power input was busted off to try and make me not bid.
A lady near me told her husband that the gold cart zelda was worth a thousand dollars.
You would not belive the amount of stupid shifty stuff i saw and heard today pertaining to video games.

Almost summer, going to go back to work and sit in the sun and write

checked up on my application to University of Texas at Austin and found out it was cancelled, I am irate

I mean I wasn't going to go until next year anyway, but regardless, the application process is handled really poorly and unclearly. Whatta joke

A neighbor of mine is going there, and she had a lot of issues getting applied, and none of it went smoothly till she hit her big scholarship.

Speaking of crappy college stuff, my professor takes an eternity to grade exams. Still no idea how I did on the exam I took on the 11th.

I don't typically buy Commodore 64 disks, but I snagged a couple of cheap ones from an online retailer that's going out of business. Took my C64 disk drive out of the closet today for the first time in about 8 months................ Bastard doesn't work.

Ticked: Only had 2 ½ hour of sleep this morning as I had to get up early.

Smile: It was to go to my Great Aunt's 90th birthday party. She's in great shape, lives on her own, and just renewed her driver's license recently. She still drives her late 1988 Caprice that's in great condition and constantly has to tell people no when they ask to buy it everywhere she goes.

^ Congrats to her on being so independent at that age. I see a lot of elderly people at the super market, and I can't tell you how many struggle just to do simple things like go food shopping. Of course, some of them lose my sympathy when they turn out to be so bitter mean.

There's this one man that hangs out at the super market all morning every day. I've been told that he's 90 years old. He's annoyed just about every employee, but I really felt bad when some one told me he was there past 5pm one day. Apparently his son or son in law left him there and was suppose to pick him up hours ago.


Ticked: My water pump blew up today.

Smile: It blew up just as I was pulling up in front of my house.

I guess it could have been a lot worse. What perfect timing that I was already in front of my house. If it would have held on a little while longer, it could have blown while on my way to work tomorrow morning. THAT would have been a pickle.

My timing belt drives the water pump, and I was planning on doing the timing belt soon anyway. I even bought a kit that comes with the water pump. So at least I'm not out any money (assuming nothing else is wrong) I'm just out a car until I can get it fixed.
