Cranky.


Well I'm *trying* to play overlord; but between worrying about how buggy it is( there are like 3 bugs in it that I know of and I thought I hit one yesterday) and it's auto-save( not sure which I like less- few save points or auto saves), I just feel like a compleat smeg-head... Oh and I had to figure out if I wanted to be a 'good' overlord or a 'bad' one... I choose good because for my first decision I didn't really want the food so I now have to play it GOOD to get an acheivement on Xbox( you get acheivement for 0 Curruption or 100%, no middle ground). Not sure I made the right choice but this is the choice I made...

Heck most of my choices in life haven't been good.

I hate my job... Totally NOT looking forward to work today- but then I haven't for ages as people I like have left and the new people sux.
One of the Supervisors really ticks me off because she treats me like the 17 year old snots who I work with... Whenever I tell her I'm going to the bathroom, she asks if I put up my 'register closed' sign. EVERY TIME. It's like 'I get it' and the fact that I tell her I did it- doesn't change the fact that she still asks the NEXT TIME. It was also a tad annoying in that I got an extra 5 min. for my break (earned it by cleaning up more) and it almost took her a min. to figure out what time I needed to be back- because she felt a NEED to tell me when to be back and wanted to do the math... and could NOT for the life of her add 20 min to the current time.
UGH!
Much of my interactions with management is them treating me like I don't 'get it', even though it's clear that I do. I understand that if I'm not ringing I should be cleaning. I understand that if I help do a project- it helps to take a second and see how the last person did the project so I can do it right-like Saturday someone was pricing patches and then putting them back in the packages and box... I started doing the same, and then was told ( by the same supervisor I grump above) to make sure that I was pricing the patches and then putting them BACK in the bags- which I was.

I also find it amusing that if I called in sick today- not but if I did, I'd get like a 'free' sick day as today is a holiday... So getting paid 1/2 time to deal with this crap.
Say half time because if I do NOT show up today- I'd get paid time( holiday) while if I show up I get paid time and 1/2( ot because of holiday)... so I'm getting paid 1/2 time to work. However I need the money( have to figure out tomorrow if I can rejoin the gym this week).

The game store wasn't much better yesterday as there are two boneheads who work there( one who I've wanted to get fired for years). I wanted to watch a dvd at work- and they broke the dvd player. So I was in a bad mood and the two regular customers weren't helping. One was the old guy who just babbled at me, and the other was this anal retentive guy who wanted to get a game going in the backroom- however none of the other regulars showed up because it was 'moving day' here in Boston so normal people avoided boston if they could help it. So the anal guy procedded to knock down games while browsing on a regular basis and whine that there was no one to play with (not my problem).

And yes- moving day- First week of Sept. when ALL the students come back. Not fun esp. as I have no idea if my NEW neighbors will be nice quiet people or loud obnoxious college students.

Lastly- I'll be taking a pic of my tat in the next couple of days and am pretty sure that even after making sure the tattooist KNEW that I wanted my new tattoos to be the same size as my old ones( this is AFTER explaining to her that I wanted my tattoos to be vertical, like the ones on my back and not horizonital as she somehow thought...) I'm pretty sure that they are NOT as bold as the old ones.
Likewise I fear that her refreshing them might have messed up the arabic- though I have no proof...
The tats have just been a bit of a pain and I'm in a foul mood so I'm paranoid.

And my mom has NOT helped, I called her on Sunday and she complained that I didn't call her in Cali--- and I'm like I'm calling you NOW...( not saying the B word but thinking it)... She just said how UNhappy she was and how I never call... and again I'm like I'm calling NOW, and maybe if you made this call nice I'd call more often.
Then when I told her I was planning two photo albums- one with people and one with the Golden Gate Bridge- she pointed out that she didn't want to see the NON people pictures as she's seen the bridge. And I felt- this is why I didn't send the Amsterdam pictures... because it was just scenery.
UGh!

Gotta go now. gotta apply goo to tat and then go to work.

Bleah.
And dislike the fact that I've got to ask clues on how to play overlord... games should be easy.
