The original board was pretty fubar. Everything else, well except the CP plexi is in great shape. But the original board gives the B240 error, and no matter what I do I cant make it work. I bought a replacement and it came in yesterday and it is giving the click of death...The replacement board was cheap, and I bought Metal Slug and Aerowings 2 at the same time, so its ok.

Been seeing a counselor, taking my medication, and I just got a girl's phone number, so I'm going to give her a call later today. I'm also starting a part time job Monday in a library, but I've got to turn in some paperwork.

Good. Hang in there man, we're rooting for ya.

Feel free to call anytime.

Nailed the interview! The Turner Broadcasting recruiter says he's going to pass on my information and will be setting up a second interview at their Atlanta headquarters sometime next week, so I might possibly be working for TBS by sometime in December!

Smile: This one autistic kid I work with just told me he was Sonic the GROUNDHOG.

Smile #2:
I have Friday off.

Frown: Retro game collecting is going to have to take a backseat for a bit. Christmas is approaching and I have to somehow find money to buy gifts for everyone. Stopped by the local retro game store last night for the last time of 2011. Only spent 8 bucks. The clerk had just gotten a copy of R.C. Pro-Am 2. He offered it too me at a great price, but regrettably I had to say no. He said he would hold it for me for a couple of weeks, but I said no that offer too. :?

You live in Maine, right? What store do you go to? My wife is from Maine, and we visit at least twice a year. I always go hunting for games while I am up there - and I have a few places that I never miss - but I would love to know if there are any other places that I should visit.

Awesome to hear Ack.

I still might be getting that job at CVS that I'm really hoping for. It's taking so damn long to get my new Pharmarcy Tech license through the mail, but the employee that contacted me almost sounds like she's saving a position for me. There was a two week gap between our last email (Oct 24th and then I emailed her Monday again letting her know I'm still waiting), and she said there's still a position open and it's no big deal, let her know when I get my license and I'll have an interview setup right away!

Would be awesome if we both land some good jobs here, haha.
