Keeping with the tradition of making steady posts and then falling off the face of the earth only to come back with a large post...Well, that's what I'm going to do right now! I have some general things to talk about and some rant-worthy rage coming your way, so please...Read on. IF YOU DARE!
Since basically the end of the school year, I've been working at another student loan agency. This job is a bit more involved than the job I had last year. At my previous job, basically I just worked on mailing checks and verifying address. This year, I'm at a new place, but its the same type of company. Only now, I'm routing school loans, changing servicers, adding loans to schools, and the like. Its a step up, that's for sure. My only real complaint? I barely have anything to do. Yes, as odd as it sounds, I'm complaining about NOT having work to do. Now, some would see it as a blessing to have a job where you do almost nothing and still collect a full day's pay. Just ask any politician. Unfortunately...Its the most boring thing in the world. Sitting in a cubicle for eight hours with about an hour's worth of work is just...Not fun. I end up coming home way mroe tired than if I actually had work to do and the days drag on. Actually, this is sort of new. At the beginning of the year, I didn't have a lot to do only because they hadn't set up a work station for me and they were still training me. Not a lot I was outright qualified to do. But now? Work has just slowed to a crawl for me. At least my coworkers are mostly nice. Sometimes one of them is kind of...moody, but oh well. She's still been a big help. Sad thing is, I won't have this job through the school year. Since work is down (for me, anyway) they won't need me. I'm hoping to go back next summer and just kind of...Work my way into a steady position there. It would be nice.
Speaking of school, I go back in a little over a week. Totally not looking forward to it. Its my last year and I'm scared of graduating. Sure, I already have a taste of the real world (its not much different from...anything really) but graphic design work is going to be tough. I knew that getting into it, but I figured my college would have at least made me feel prepared...Oh, the suckage that is Newbury...They screwed up my loan money...AGAIN! I got a phone call from them today saying I hadn't paid, but I called the loan company and everything has been approved and such. The college just decided to fuck up again.
*sigh*
Anyway on to something fun, right? I've been working on my Let's Plays a lot. I already completed Mega Man VI, Cool Spot, and Darkwing Duck. I'm already into U.N. Squadron. The only thing stopping me from making more videos right now is the fact that my computer is in for repairs. That virus did a good job of messing things up. Got some trojan crap in there. But, I should have it back in a few days and I'll be back to making movies in no time. Another Let's Player named HeavilyArmedGypsy has been a big help in getting my name out there as well as giving me a plug in one of his vids. Bumped my subscribership up. :D
Picked up some games recently. Soul Calibur IV (PS3), Final Fantasy IV for the DS, Cruisin' (Wii) (Maaaajor disappointment), and Pokemon Battle Revolution for gits and shiggles. With the exception of Cruisin (the controls are horrid), I enjoyed the games thoroughly. I've been on a quest to unlock just about everything in the game and I've made very nice replicas of my story characters including Corona, Eclipse, Vamagoth, Bailoroc, Falseheart, and many others. I even got some in there of my FFXI friends Mack Strife, Henji, and Shogan. I haven't made one for Japolo yet. Having a hard time with that one. Maybe I'll try and take some pics of them or something. Mack and Henji look a lot like a Paladin and Dragoon...Sho...Well, I had to run with what I could. He looks like a dark knight, but his armor is a mesh of different menacing armor types, which do go together nicely, but look nothing like the FFXI dark knight armor.
Ok, time for ranting!
So here's my beef. Cell phones. Not really the phones themselves, but the assholes using them. Now, people who walk around on their phones all day sending text messages and yapping in public about how "important" their lives are is anger-worthy enough, but this is just going too far. Can I not even go into the bathroom at work without people getting on their phones while their on the can? I go in there to take care of business, and what do I hear from the stall next to me? *tick click tack tick tick* Sending fucking text messages on the toilet!? Or "YEAH!? YES!!! YEAH, WE'RE HAVING A PARTY LATER! A PARTY FOR ME! WHAT!? YEAH! WE'RE GOING TO GET FUCKING HAMMERED OH AND SEX! YEAH! YEAAAAHH!!!!!" Sweet buttery Jesus...Keep it to yourselves, assfucks. Honestly, if you need to get attention from people stuck in the problem, you have serious issues. Hell, your life is probably a sham. A waste. Completely worthless. So worthless in fact that the sperm wasted on giving them life would have been better used if their fathers just jerked off into a kleenex and flushed it. >_< For fucks sake, put the phones down. No one cares about your lives. Go and do your job or watch TV or anything! Just shut up... And while you're at it, stop talking on the phone while you're driving. So...I still have to sort of a lot of files I removed from the virus'd compy, so I'm going to do that and play some games. Until my next entry.
