Neither - I will post more about it tomorrow after the interview. Mostly because I think Ack is going to kill me when he hears about it.

Ticked: Can't find a damn single fee looping sound effect of a computer on the internet. I didn't think it would be this hard!

Smile: One of my Lecturers got sick today so I got to go home a class early.

Ticked again: Missed the damn train by a minute. I only had to wait 12 minutes which isn't that long in retrospect but just the fact that I missed it by so little pissed me off.

That sucks man. I had a job like that before where they'd flip flop on policy in sometimes as little as a week and expect everyone to keep up. They would also know about major changes coming down for weeks and tell everyone the day before and expect everyone to keep up and drop everything even if it called for schedules changing drastically. It was a 24 hour facility, but if you didn't happen to be work when the announcement was made? Well sucks to be you, you slacker son of a bitch.

Ticked - Mandatory 3 hours overtime tomorrow. Oh wait, I worked 4 1/4 over yesterday already so that's not so bad. :roll:

Smile - It's a nice day outside?

Smile - 3 of 5 classes done.

Frown - All this sudden free time and all my games are at the other apartment.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
