Middle Management

Excuse I!

There's nothing like cramming as many tasks as you possibly can while sandwiching all of that with depriving yourself with sleep. I don't really want to go any further with that because it's all been said before by other douchebags.

However, there's a fine line I want to draw today between business and Ma & Pa shops. I'll tell you one thing, I'm glad I don't work for the latter. If people came to me every day and tried to get shit for free from me while I was at a Mom 'n' Popper, I'd probably kill myself with how much money I'd end up losing. Then again, some customers make me want to off myself enough without asking for free goodies.

Enter the Yaeger, an apparent, long-disgruntled customer, foaming at the mouth from genital rabies passed on from his raccoon of a mother, and then again passed on to his needle-sharing girlfriend. I've seen less doucheass morons in Axe commercials. This guy's story?

"So, I think in the last 360 I sent out, I might have left my NBA Live in the disk drive..."
"Oh, ok, do you remember which one?"
"Uhm, well I think it was NBA 2007- no wait, 200.... no I know, it's 2009."
"Really."
"Yeah, I think you guys took my game."
"Hmm, your 360 was sent to corporate about a month ago. Are you sure you left it in there?"
"Positive."
"Well, see, there's not a 360 here for me to check and see if it has the game in there. So I'm not sure what I can do at my level, man."
"Well..."
"Yeah, no, that one doesn't have it in there."
"Well, I would like to get my game back."
"Ok, if your game was here, I would, but it's not."
"So what do I do?"
"I dunno, the best I can do is sell you a like copy, like say, NBA Live 2008; I don't have 2o09 in stock."
"...fuck."
"Yeah."
"So wait, you can only SELL me the game?"
"Yeah, I can't just give you one, you know, there's nothing I can but sell you one."
"What the fuck. Ever since I started coming here, I keep getting fucked over by this fucking company. No wonder you're going out of fucking business, because you keep fucking people over."
"That's neither here nor there, man. The company is still going to have two stores, so we're not going out of business, either... Oh, you'll have to go out the other side, that door's locked."
"This ... fucking seriously, god damnit. This is bull-shit."

/sigh

No, I don't feel bad. That's the first time I've ever seen the guy, and he immediately made more of an ass of himself than any piece of shit who's ever waltzed their way in asking for free shit. OK, so there's maybe a few that are close, but still. It'd be different if I had a copy of NBA Live 2002 for the Playstation sitting in the trash somewhere, but no, I'm not just gonna give out a 360 game to someone who starts talking shit to me like it's our fault the store is getting shut down.

So I called Jen to bitch about him, and it appears we both needed to vent about that dumb fuck. Turns out we sent the guy's 360 out to corporate to get fixed like a month ago, and for him to come up with the brilliant idea that his game was left in the disk tray was so broken, it literally posed no threat to my "dumb fucking knavery radar," and passed right through without hazard. The stupid bastard had no evidence backing that this game was anywhere, and probably wasn't even in his possession of ownership! Guh, fucking guy.

So anyway, reason why I'm posting tonight is because I'm in that stage of "fear of sleep" because of ... you guessed it, Paranormal Activity.

For those of you that haven't heard, this movie went national on Friday, and by Bob, itself, I am going to ruin my life over it.

It's all in good fun, scaring the shit over yourself when you make sounds in your head and try to link that immediately to an unknown force from another dimension! What, you've never been?
Seriously, though. I've heard stories. I'm cringing, just thinking about it. How the whole fucking thing just goes under when the boyfriend makes things worse.

I need to sleep, but I kinda can't; which is totally fucking over any chance I have of studying for Tuesday and Wednesday's exams. Oh yeah, and I'm supposed to revise and memorize a script for my second performance, too.

At least my third exam for Comm. in the Workplace is just a typed response to interview questions. I'm totally gonna win.

I'll Remember, That This Isn't Over

I've been listening to this band, Sky Eats Airplane, for about the last couple days. Introduced to me by JRLOLOL, I was skeptical, but then grew to enjoy it. Support them so they make more stuff. Yeah.

So there's this movie called Paranormal Activity that's apparently a huge hit right now. Something about this whole "a million demands and it'll go nation-wide." When stuff like this happens, I get fucking hyped. It's been a while since a scary movie fucked me up in the head since The Grudge. I still get creeped out when I see the DVD cover pretty much every time. And now after I see this one, I'm probably gonna add that onto that little problem.

Then there's Where The Wild Things Are. If I miss this movie, I'm gonna fight someone to the death.

Hmm, I don't really have much else to say today. I guess uhh, 26 days to MW2. Gotta get started on piecing together my Halloween costume. Goodbye.

Isn't That Just Something...

"People are so stupid.

This is Medal Of Honor not COD, why do people always have to compare any FPS with COD.

f*ck COD, I seriously hope this game does better than COD, I'm tired of COD games.. I have all the games and after COD 2, I gave up hope with the series

Goodluck EA, I hope you blow COD out of the water and shut these fanboys up.

And why do people prefer modern over WW2? Jeez if anything WW2 has more large scale battles, more infantry fights."

Fail.

I'll tell you why. Because no one cares about the overdone WWII series, shit bag. You gave up after CoD2 because it was too hard for you, so you went back to Medal of Honor's open arms of "we love failboys." Grats on hoping MoH: MW does better than CoD, we'll all be laughing at you when you're one of three hundred people in their lobby, scratching your heads over why you can't connect to each other because EA has the shittiest servers in the existence of man.

People compare FPS' to Call of Duty (ESPECIALLY MILITARY RELATED) because Call of Duty does a damn good job (...except Treyarch) of paving the way for copycats, much like GTA does for sandbox games, much like Mario and platformers. Much like Final Fantasy and RPG's. The forerunners will always be followed.

"If you overhype something to death, people are going to buy it, especially the average folk who sadly are the majority...and the Call of Duty Modern Combat series is one of the most overhyped game series today"

Lol, go back to WoW then, shithead. Sorry that great games get advertised heavily, it's how you sell them. Yeah, bad games get in the mix and are commercialized as much as they are, but there's a reason why we're not gonna see one commercial or trailer or teaser or sizzler or whatever-the-fuck-you-want-to-call-it for your oh-so-anticipated Cabela's Seal Hunting Adventure. Yeah, the average folk are buying it, but to me, they're just more supply for the kill farm.

Agh, I'm getting pissed at people back home over dumb shit. Bioshock 2 being called overhyped and that barely anyone is going to play it, that's just an insult to games.
