Smile: More disc golf today! And then a BBQ, and then True Blood.
And then sleep.
And then?
Smile: It's as if I have tourette's syndrome anytime mentions a pen, (or in the South most people say Ink Pen, because I guess they may think someone is asking if they can borrow their Pig Pen), I shout "MY PEN! MY PEN!"
Here's the reason I shout that:
Frown: My memory is terrible. If I don't leave my wallet and phone on the piano, I have no clue where I left them. I also have to write down everything from every conversation I have while on the job.
I get grilled a lot on the job, so I need to bring in around a dozen legal pads for every "pop quiz". I get "You don't remember?" a lot, and the truth is that no, I don't remember.
For sure part of it is that I can't remember a lot, but also I talk with over twenty people a day who need several things, so trying to remember 140 things plus meetings makes my brain do loop de loops.

Neo Exdeath is one mean SOB. IMO, he is by far the most difficult final boss in any Final Fantasy games. (Only the Cloud of Darkness comes close.)

My favorite villain in the franchise.

Kefka's the better villain and associated songs, but Exdeath is the better boss fight.Xeogred wrote:My favorite villain in the franchise.
So this run (which is my last for a while) is Monk, Mystic Knight, Ninja, Dancer. Holy crap, that's a lot of damage. I'm planning on putting Equip Ribbon on the Monk, MK and Ninja will be dual wielding spellblades, and the Dancer will be dual wielding the chicken knife and the maneater while she twirls to the beat of sword dance.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
Sorry to keep complaining, but holeeeeee was this morning crazy.
Get this nonsense:
Meeting with boss:
"You say you are aloof because you are sick and have lost a lot of weight. You're pants seem to fit fine"
Me- That's because I had to buy new pants. Bought Black, Blue and Khaki, all 27x32.
"Well, I'd like to see a receipt"
That actually happened.
She also doesn't want only a doctor's note (am I in kindergarten?) but a copy of my medical records.
I soooooo want to just show her the picture of me and say "IS THIS ENOUGH PROOF FOR YA?"
Every reason for an issue is an excuse to her. Being sick is a reason, not an excuse.
This has gone from ridiculous to insanity.
Is that not crazy? She also wants my medical records, which isn't going to happen.
...and she wants to belittle me while taking 90% of my sales? No. No no no no no.

Ive tried playing with some floaters and I did not like them. Not saying they don't have a place, but they screw up the flight characteristics to make them float. This is coming from someone who has gone swimming to retrieve my go to driverLuke wrote:

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
It's been about a month since I've gone to stay with my grandmother on my dad's side.
Turns out that the room's smaller and I gotta share my bed with my dad. But on most weekends he's doing time in the jail in Manteo. They're allowing him to serve his sentence on the weekends since he works and takes care of his elderly mother and apparently they charge people to be in jail.
My dad told my grandmother that I'd only be there for two weeks, and it's been about twice that and it seems like she's gotten more critical of me. Some time ago she went off on me about how my room was "filthy" when it wasn't even that bad. She made it out to seem like I dumped trash on the floor when it was just my stuff. Now most of my things are under the house in a small storage area. I'm gonna try to ask my brother if I can stay with him and his girlfriend and (possibly) crash on their couch.
But I got a message on Facebook from my grandfather's (on my mom's side) second wife. Apparently they're going on vacation in August and want me to watch their house and look after their dogs while they're gone. They're gonna pick me up towards the end of July at the earliest. I'm kinda looking towards it (and not because they're paying me and I'm still unemployed), though it'll be the longest I've been away from my family. At least in New York City I'd have things to distract me. But this experience may be what I need to convince my parents to stop trying to keep me from moving to New York City.
