Okay, no foolin'. I forgot my nephew's name. All I could remember was that it was really common and boring and I didn't think it was that great. So I had to look thru my blog to find it. *sigh* It's true.

Anime Xmas music is so cool.

I'm moving... So I should be packing.... So I should be cleaning.... So I should stop typing.

Pardoned?

So Pile is on his vacation, and I'm still doing SLR stuff. My supervisor thought that what would happen is that they'd pull me off SLR duties for a while as punishment b/c I represent management. Everytime he says that I laugh my ass off b/c I haven't done any management stuff in months. Just stuck on the phones. Apparently 3 OMs got involved in the whole thing. My OM said to just forget about it, both were wrong, and she admitted to it and apologized, it's beating a dead horse. Another OM wanted the punishment, and I couldn't figure why until I remembered she was the one who complained about my behaviour after I told quite politely that I felt I was being punished for something I didn't do when they wouldn't let me go on a biz trip b/c their system wasn't working.

Anyhoo, today at work, they were tarring the roof, and the fumes seeped into the centre. People were leaving in droves and when the agents mentioned safety and health regulations concerning pay, which sounded perfectly logical, management denied that the fumes were toxic. Great. Nice to know management looks out for workers' health. Anyways I made the mistake about caring about reps pay and sick days and wrote that in a note to a supervisor and got into sh!t for it. I'm such a troublemaker.

But it's nice to see some of my sticklertude pay off for something. There's this one supervisor who just doesn't do his job. Whenever reps want to go home, they have to go to their supervisor first. But when the supervisor is off, then it can get a bit vague. In a meeting, we'd decided that the rep goes to another supervisor and only if no supervisors are avail, do they go to Duty manager to be signed out. Well this supervisor will send all reps back to Duty Manager, even when they're his reps. And then when I insisted that he's supposed to sign the reps out, he goes to Pile to complain. And Pile wrote that the reps are supposed to go to Duty if their supervisor and supervisor partner's not around. And Pile claimed to have talked to me about it. Well...the manager in charge of the Duty Desk came up to me, and told me that I was totally right for insisting that reps go to supervisors to be signed out, Pile was completely wrong, and the stupid supervisor has been coached on proper procedure. It's so nice to be vindicated.

Mailed a package to my friend w/ all her books. 4.213 KG!!!!! Can you believe it?? And b/c the box was too big, it couldn't go as small package. Paid almost $60 for postage, and added insurance too, which only cost $2. Argh!!!! Everyone I tell about the cost, just says they hope she's sending me something. Which she is. So it's all good.

I dunno what's wrong w/ the stream for Anime Hardcore, it just won't start up. So I'm listening to Enka & More, and it's different. It's not bad, they have enka for the opening theme for Tsukikage Ran. It's very dramatic, actually kinda makes me think of Chinese Opera but not as high-pitched warbling screeching. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of that stuff.

"Intellectually" Intelligent


You're 'Intellectually Intelligent.' That pretty much means that you're good with theoretical ideas and concepts - but this comes to you naturally. More or less, you're a natural brainiac. Good for you.


40% theoretical intelligence
40% natural intelligence
















Take this quiz at QuizGalaxy.com


Yeah, that's me, I'm not focussed on having to learn by reading or listening or doing. I can learn either way, and of course it's better to reinforce it by doing all of it. I'm known to rewrite key points in a notebook, in addition to colour-coordinating highlighting the book and writing my oft-sarcastic comments next to it. I can read a crochet/knitting diagrams and generally figure them out even though I can't read Chinese. And although it's not mentioned in the quiz, generally I'm balanced btwn being creative and logical. ...Though I like to freak out every so often.

Update on Pile, I was discussing w/ my friend that the next time he calls on me, I'll just do the John Cena thing w/ waving my hand in front of my face and saying " You can' t see me" and walk away. That'll mess his head. Bwahahahahaha!

Crucifixion is delayed

0 comments  

So I was telling everyone on Monday that I was going to be crucified. Well, I know it seems a bit dramatic, but really, who's going to be scapegoated? The SLR who has good quality but crappy stats, or the only HR person that has any idea where things are. I wasn't Kasumi from Ranma, I was more like Akane and very willing and ready to whip out a mallet, barbell, kendo sword, .... wait, I have to listen to Sanzo sing "Game". ...

Oh that was lovey. Oh and "Blow Winds" is next...*dreamy sigh* The three of them sound soooo good together. It's too bad that Akira Ishida is too traumatized to sing anymore. Some jerk said his voice wasn't very good a long time ago and he hasn't sung a char song since. Unless it's in a huge group like Capt. Animate's "Double Dear" where there were 8 seiyuus singing. Well that was a little off topic.

Anyways, in the email I wrote and edited, my TL said I came across as a bit aggressive. Except I couldn't rewrite it before he sent it to the OM b/c my stupid Lotus at work was dead, and I didn't see Gary around to fix it. Although he fixed it for me the next day, but I think it was too late for that purpose. Anyways, on Monday, I did't get crucified b/c my TL was away b/c there was a problem w/ his wife's pregnancy. I'm not sure what it was, but probably the bad kind. I sorta feel bad that I benefited from their troubles but at least the drawing and quartering has been delayed. Now if I could just avoid me and my TL being there on the same day that Pile works until he goes on vacation, maybe I'll be all clear. But really, I never used profanity or flipped her off. I treated her w/ a hell lot more respect than the customers treat us, but you don't see us constantly going "oh you're so rude, I'm going to hang up" Grow some balls Bitchpoo!

Again, I missed the opportunity to go out w/ friends and do afterwork activity. One of the RSD had a b-day party and I was invited, but had to decline. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't kvetch, I got a ride home. But since I need to build up my supportive network at work for this HR crap, it would've been a good opportunity.

Wow, finally found the song. I'd burned a couple CDs and didn't label them right away, so since I had the time I thought I'd do it. I found the playlist for one of them, but I couldn't find it for the other. So I've been trying to find each track again in my huge list of mp3s. Which is a lotta songs to try to match. The sad part is that I could sing or hum most of them, but I have no clue where they're from. Some of them I'll get a good guess and pick it out right away after looking thru the list, but "Fun Fun & Shout" from Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu forced me to load my entire mp3 folder. Mind you I have 4 sets of mp3 folders, which avg 300 files each.

So finally got A and TT to get H's prez. Well TT didn't go b/c he's working but he's going to pay me back, but hauled A into Warp. As expected, he didn't have the list of what H wanted, so I'd already written it out. It was a bit annoying to hear him complain about having to spend so much and it was just to get 1 manga. Considering I've probably spent over $150 for her, him complaining about spending less than 10% was irritating. After we went for dinner b/c that's all he could talk about. Had an all you could eat, and he ordered 6 tamago negiri, 2 plates of beef teriyaki, and 18 salmon maki. That's it. The menu was pretty big, but nope, that's all he ordered. Which he didn't finish. I had about 6 of his maki and then had to rock-paper-scissors/ja-ken-pon him for the remaining 2 separately which I lost, so I said I'd have 1 and then we'd have to throw again, but he said I was supposed to have the last 2. Which I refused b/c I'd had 3 mackeral, 2 squid, 2 toro, 1 baked oyster, 1 seafood (crap forgot what it's called b/c never had it before but it was gooooooood), 2 cones, 3 gyoza, 1 sunomono, 1 veggie tempura dish. So he ended up hiding it in the napkin b/c otherwise would have to pay $0.88 for leftovers. Argh, I'm still stuffed and it's been 6 hours.


Smackdown Tribute to Eddie

Friday, November 18, 2005

0 comments  

I didn't cry as much for the Smackdown tribute, I guess b/c it's been a couple of days and I've been able to get used to it. But it was still horribly sad. The cruiserweight was pretty cool. I think Benoit was really out of it for the first couple minutes of the match, and HHH was carrying him for a while. Seeing Chavo again was great, and I didn't know it was Chavo that found Eddie. That must've been so hard.

I wonder when we'll find out how Eddie died. ...*searching online*...Oh...well at least he didn't suffer. I kinda thought it might be his heart, b/c of his past drug abuse. Road life is superhard. Here's a really good article on the official release of his death.

So my day was spent sleeping for about 2 1/ hrs cause I got a call from Robert just before I was going to go to bed. I miss that crazy Aussie. Joanna's throwing a housewarming party for his new apt, but aside from the fact that I'm working that day, J's also picking me up from work so I can't do any afterwork activities. Yesterday night, I was invited by Rebecca and Chris to go out for a drink b/c we'd all had lousy days, but I couldn't go out again. So it's like how I told Robert, once I move into the new place, I'll be able to do more stuff b/c I'll be close enough to work that I won't need a drive (15 min walk close enough?) Although that's assuming I'm still working there. F*ckers. (Yes, I just throw it out every so often when I think of them)

How's about a joke? When does HR work?

Only when they're in the same sentence. Hehehe

Oh yes, about my day, I spent it shopping for the rest of the books that Helen wanted. And I got meself a Naruto pillow w/ Iruka and Kakashi on one side and Sakura and Sasuke on the other. Except the girl at the counter kept pressing down on it when she was trying to figure out how to ring it in. So I'm getting super-antsy b/c I don't know where her hands been, but I just ask her in a joking way to stop de-fluffing my pillow, so she puffed it up for me. Gave it a wash though. Not sure how to wash those types of pillows. B/c I think it's silk-screened on a nylon/polyester fabric w/ polyester filling. So I just put some soap on a cloth and washed the surface. It's wierd too, Iruka is spelled Ruka on the pillow. I hope it's not a knockoff. I'd hate to think I spent $20 for nothing. Especially so I'd have 2 pillows w/ Iruka on it. I'd like to have him as my sensei. And it's not just so I could listen to him all day. *lecherous grin*

Yeah, finally d/l Ai no Kusabi, and burned it to disk. Watched it on my tele w/ my headphones on. Skipped to the good parts. Stopped breathing and blinking a couple times. And can officially say that Seki Toshihiko has the sexiest voice. A lotta knuckle-biting.

*sigh* I don't wanna go to bed. B/c that means I'll have to go to work. And I don't wanna go to work b/c it sucks. Or should I say it'd be ok if 2 people were eliminated from there. *sigh* Oh shat, I left laundry in the washer. I hate it when it starts to dry...and smell. Yuck!

*listening to "Toki ni Ai wa... " and it's hard to sing and type at the same time*

Saw Genji for $29.99, which is a really good price for a new game. Except it only has about 8-10 playtime. But the main char is soooooo cute. I dunno if I should get it.

Okay, gotta get laundry.



Stinky Pile

So part 2 of the HR incident.

Pile pulls me aside, not when I'm on the phone, but when I finally get off the phone to watch over the floor activities. Prick. F*ck your production minutes. I don't know why he's in charge of Lead Reps. We're like thoroughbred horses, treat us right and we'll win races. Treat us like crap, and we'll kick down the barn. He doesn't know how to manage us at all. Anyways he says that "he wants to hear my side of the story." Bull f*cking sh!t. I don't need to incriminate myself especially with his f*cked up interpretation of things. He'll find offence in anything. I think I know why I don't like him so much. It's b/c he reminds me of my middle brother. So I tell him I want my TL, and he says he's my TL b/c he writes up the Performance Appraisal and my TL just does my TKS. What really happens is that my TL sends Pile all the information, and would write up the PA if they'd let him. Whatever. I get more "Hi!"s from an OM than I do from Pile.

Anyways I email my TL what happened but b/c the work firewall prevents access to blogs, so after I got home, I had to add more things. Argh. Anyways, another craptastic day. Actually even the tastic isn't there b/c one of my friends had to go home b/c her back seized up. Didn't get any crochet done, totally forgot when I was supposed to come back from lunch so I had a super long break. Just spectacular. This day warrants a Death Note and I know whose name I'd write.

What was your job in a past life? (LOTS of results & Anime Pics)
brought to you by Quizilla

Hmm, animal spirit. Probably why I don't have a lot of tact and get straight to the point. And think kids should be drowned if they're acting like idiots. Or if someone drives into the lightpost b/c they're DWI, they deserve the wheelchair or coffin. And if aliens can do better w/ the planet(which probably won't be hard), then they should enslave the humans. And if it weren't for the allergies, I would like to be a vet, although it'd be hard to down the animals b/c a lot of them are abandoned. And I hate insects too, so that'd be hard too.

The worst place to find customer service...

So I go to pick up the Employment Confirmment form that I'd requested on Wed, and drop off the medical reimbursement sheet, and pick up other forms that are needs from this reward program that's ending. The forms are supposed to be ready in 2 biz days, and HR was closed on Remembrance Day(unlike the rest of us) Yesterday when I went in, no one was at the counter and I could see the 2 people huddled in the back interviewing someone. So when I went back before it was supposed to close, they'd already locked the door.

So when I go in today on my 15 min break, no one's at the counter again, and the only people at the front look like they're taking the eligibility test. So I'm about to search the back again, and the girl pipes up and asks what I need. So I tell her that I'm there to pick up the forms I requested. She gives me a blank look and says she doesn't know where they are and I have to wait for this other girl Bitchpoo to return from her hour long lunch. So I tell her I'm on a break, and the forms are supposed to be ready by now, and does anyone else know where they are(cause I can hear other people in the back). She gets all uppity and says she's a temp so she doesn't know. And then this other guy comes out and asks what he could help me w/. So I repeat the same thing, and he doesn't know where they are either but at least he's more helpful and says that since I can't wait, he can take down my info to hand to Bitchpoo. So I give him my info, and then Bitchpoo walks in. By this time, I've already wasted 10 min of my 15 min break. And Bitchpoo also doesn't have the forms ready but tells me to sit down so she can print them out. Well I don't know why everyone tells me to sit down (the height advantage aka power advantage? I'm only 5'2") but I tell her that I can't wait for it, so she tells me to come in after work. Which is 8:30. And I tell her that they're closed by then, so she tells me she's going to leave it at Security. Well I don't really trust the competency of half the security people, but fine whatever.

So later, my TL pulled me off for some coaching and gave me some extra time to fiddle around w/ the program, so I ask him if I can head off to HR to see if they got my crap together, so he's ok w/ that. No one's at security, so I walk into HR, wait for the other person ahead of me to finish, and there's Bitchpoo at the counter. So I start saying there was no one at Security and that I'd just come in to see if she'd already given it to Security, and she huffs off to the back and gives me my stuff. And she goes "Oh, and I thought that you acted very rudely when you came in earlier..." Well excuuuse me! If I see incompetency, I don't react well when it's incompetency that can affect me. So I tell her well Sorry but I needed my stuff right away and no one seemed to know how to get it. And then she's gets all uppity and says "well can't you see that we're shortstaffed and have a lot of new people." Hey, it's not my problem if HR can't keep their own people, and can't train the new people on anything. Maybe that's why they always tell us to go online. So I tell her, "That's fine she's new, the other guy was great and he was new, but she could still apologize that she couldn't help" And she had the gall to ask why they should apologize. Heh, you know, w/ all the bull they give us about Quality and Good Customer service, we're all now trained to recognize good cust svc. And any time that something bad happens to the customer, even if it's their own bloody fault, we have to empathize and apologize for the INCONVENIENCE it has caused them or we'll lose marks. So I tell her that. Well, not the whole bit about training for quality, but that it was inconvenient for me. So I'm not sure if she got it or not, but she launches into her tirade again that I was rude, so I tell "the feeling's mutual". Then she's goes "well then I can get your OM and my supervisor and we can discuss it with them."

And while I'm trying to expl why I'm pissed, she keeps interrupting me and vice versa, so she tells me to shut up. So I let her go for couple min, but remember kiddies I'm still under coaching and don't have that much time to get into a catfight w/ her, and when she takes a breath, I launch in. And at this point, I'm so furious my hands are shaking and my voice is trembling. And I start gesturing to make my point and then she whines that she doesn't like me pointing at her. If it weren't for the counter between us, I'd be doing more than pointing. But I tell her I'm pointing at the sky which was where my finger stopped when she made her little protestation. And then she bitches at me that why did I make her have to do everything right away when I was my shift was over in an hour. So I had to repeat again that I'm only on coaching and it was only the blessing of my TL that I was able to come out, and that I didn't know that I would have time to come out. How disgusting that I even had to justify my visit. So I start talking and she starts interrupting, and I had to use the ResDesk phrase "I gave you the courtesy of letting you finish, now please give me the same courtesy of letting me speak." Yeah, how sad was it that I even had to use it?! So anyways, I finally get to tell her that I'm upset b/c expectation was set but not met, I had to waste 2 trips to get my stuff, and waste my break time. But I basically end w/ "well I apologize if I caused you offense, but it looks like it was a misunderstanding on both sides, but as long we both understand that, it's all fine. Thank you for the documents, I will get the other form that you didn't have from communications." Yes, I summarized the argument and I think Bitchpoo was kinda stunned b/c of that. There were people behind me but I walked out so fast, I didn't see who they were, but I'm sure they had fun afterwards. The kinda "wtf just happened?!" b/c they've probably seen me on the floor.

So right after I go tell my TL, and my TL was quite amused by it. Then while I'm on a call, Pile comes over and says he wnts to talk to me after the call. Well the call lasted about an hour and it was lunchtime. So I quickly go over to my TL and ask him if he knew what he wanted to talk to me about, so my TL tells me to let him know if Pile does talk to me. So when I tell him I'm going on lunch first, he just asks if I'm in the next day and he'll talk to me then. So when I tell my TL, my TL tells me that if it's about the HR incident, that I should request that my TL be there, but since my TL knows that I don't use tact except w/ customers (I don't mince words, it's just not in my nature. Hell I even told him that I have problems telling customers I can take care of their problem if I think I can't b/c it would be lying. ), he had to tell me what to say to Pile so that Pile doesn't take offense, b/c he has a really thin skin and doesn't forgive anything. The annoying part is my TL isn't in tomorrow(though I suppose that would be today, I have to go take a shower and go to sleep).

Watching RAW righ now...and it's so....unbelievable that Eddie Guerrero could be gone. I checked WWE.com and they haven't released why he died in his hotel room. I just hope it wasn't drugs...b/c he'd fought so hard to get his life back together after having so many problems w/ them. Watching the things he's done over the years, just brings back so many fun memories. My favourite is the Lie, Cheat 'n' Steal w/ Chavo. That was just too funny, and you never felt bad for the victims b/c it was all so obvious or they deserved it. A sorta Robin Hood justice I suppose.

Watching the matches. And they're really wrestling w/ their hearts out. The tag champ match was a pretty funny, and helped you get into enjoying the wrestling. Angle-Benjamin was a solid tech match. HBK-Mysterio was absolutely awesome. I'm quite surprised by the Diva match. That was very good, and displayed their talents. I'd like to see Malina wrestle more, she's a little spitfire.

I think I really noticed Eddie when he wooed Chyna. I always knew he was there when he arrived from WCW, and the rep and talent he carried. But I think I noticed his personality w/ Chyna. I was actually first kinda ticked at him, b/c I thought Chyna was too good and you knew he was planning something. But he was so funny and goofy, it was sweet.

*sniff* Listening to everyone talk about Eddie is just so sad. You just hope that when it's your time, others will talk the same way about you. *sob* Gawd, when they start crying, I do too. I dunno, I guess I'm a empathic crier. *blowing nose* Ah, this is hard to watch, but it's harder for them. I'm just an audience member, someone who watches and reads, and feels the emotions that they try to invoke. Sometimes I'll criticize and stay away b/c it's just gotten too silly. But they're still out there, working away, getting injured, training, missing their family. And to lose someone like Eddie, who fought so hard to be at the top, to always put on a great match....it's just seems so wrong. Did God need him so much ....that it couldn't spare him ...for a little longer? To let him enjoy the fruits of his efforts?? He was helping so many people...not just in the WWE...but the rest of us, who could say...Hey, there's a great role model, there's someone who fought, suffered, survived Hell to come out and be funny, charming and humble. Maybe it was an act in the ring, he still had a lotta issues. But he still gave us hope. *sob* I'm really an agnostic, but I pray that Eddie's spirit is at rest, however it did get detached from his body. Thank you Eddie, you're the best. *sniff*

Hmm, Autumn is pretty nice. Sometimes it's warm, and sometimes it's cool. But it's not wet and muddy like Spring. And sometimes it snows and the next day it's warm enough to wear sandals. Or is it just b/c it's Alberta?

Well, it's been about 3 hrs that I've spent doing all my bills. And I'm still not done. I'm still matching the receipts up to the CC statement. And for good reason. B/c I'm online, first looking up what Fido has for VM options b/c I need for when I move out. Neither of us will have a landline. And I've missed a lotta calls this week and w/ Caller ID...it really sucks. Yes, for $20 I get no VM, no Caller ID, but I get per-second billing! Whoopee. To add those on, it'd be $8. Considering I'm already paying about $9 more for the extra fees and taxes... not very tempting. Might have to go to prepaid and then just have to remember to fill my phone and get those features included. But it'll cost me $25 to migrate. Bastards! And I don't have a contract either. I tried to call them to see if they have VM as a promo to add on for free since I've been w/ them for 2 yrs but they're closed.

And I thought that I had a contact lenses training today b/c I told the secretary that I have every other weekend off the last time I went in, and she had the calendar. Grrrrrr! Got up for nothing. But at least I found some Liquid Plumber for cheap, $3.49 for 900 mL. My bathroom sink is clogged b/c I use Ivory for hand soap. Gawd that stuff leaves a nasty film that just builds up.

Anyways, I've been noting down all the prices for essentials like laundry, food, toiletries. Really wanna skrimp and save anyway I can b/c I don't intend on dipping into my saving to pay bills.

So while I was checking my email, I got an invitation to join the Game Advisory Panel for Sony PS. I was pretty blaise about it, and signed up, and then I see in the forum that there are people who beg to join. Maybe it's b/c I'm a girl and have a whole whack of rpg, action/adventure, fighting games on my list of games. And a lot of them have over 50 hrs on it. I've got 2 at over 125 hrs. Yup, Arc the Lad and Star Ocean. Finally got to Disc2 for Star Ocean.

And my Dad and brother went out for dinner. Didn't invite me, - or- tell me until I left for my non-existant appointment this afternoon. Whatever. I have a ham marinating in maple syrup in the fridge. I think it's going to be ham steak w/ noodles, mixed veggies. I'd make spaghetti but I don't know where my dad put it. Somehow macroni was made but I don't know where the dried stuff is either. Oh, actually I can just use the macaroni instead for carbs. I was thinking of ordering sushi, but I need to save money.

But about Sony. The Music division is getting nasty and sneaky. This article about their hidden software on their CDs is very scary. In the application for the GAP for the PS, it asked how I felt about Sony, and before it was that it was a good company. But their actions on music CD drops them down to Sucks! Well I haven't bought CDs in a while, and I guess it won't be soon from Sony either.

Speaking of receipts, finally matched them all, and I have some from stores that didn't charge me. It's the second time it's happened. I believe it's after about 30 days or so that if they still haven't charged you, they can't. Oh well. I'm not even sure if stores would have any way to charge me if I went back to them, and told them what happened. I heard of a similar thing happening to someone else, but it was for plane tickets. So when he found out, he called the agent but it was still w/in the period where he could be charged. So is this a morale quandry? Or should I just let it go? As a rep, unless it's a flagrant violation of provisioning rules, I usually just let the customer benefit from it.

By the by, didn't know that Animenation will ship you stuff later if they didn't have it in stock at the time you ordered it. And of course charge you s/h again. I got a surprising email of shipment notification, and after talking w/ them, got the s/h waived as courtesy. It is on their website, and I might have read it.... About 2 years ago when I first ordered something. So key to having things done for you kiddies, be very polite and ask if they can do things for you and never demand. And prepare to be rejected, or offer alternatives if option A is rejected. Always be open to compromise. The more you are willing to work with them, the more they'll work for you.

Well, I must write my cheques now. And eat. Dang I'm hungry! Oh, but must take my pills first....Oh crap I forgot my ulcer pill. The trial pkg has the days marked, but since I was half asleep when I first opened it, I just popped open any day. Now I have to count to see if I missed it. Yes, I have ulcer pills, stomach pills, Tylenol for headaches b/c everything else is a stomach irritant but after being used to T3, regular stuff is useless. Er wait, did I mention that already? *checking blog* Good ol' Blogger, opens another window for ya. Oh no, not quite. There was a cancellation on Tuesday, so I was able to see the doctor. Yeah, so I'm getting really forgetful also, and have a really hard time concentrating or listening to people, so it's major problem when I'm taking payments. Actually I flipped off a supervisor when he was trying to talk to me and I was on the phone taking said payment. I didn't literally flip him off but the way I gestured towards the phone was a bit violent. I apologized to him the next day, so if he tries to give the OM some crap about my attitude then I can tell them I already apologized to him and told him I was having health problems. Anyways, must write cheque still. And clean up my email inbox. And clean the bathroom. And eat. Must stop writing what I must do, but I guess I could forget.

Monday Night RAW

Who the hell is that new announcer? Maybe he's from Velocity or something. Blah, I don't like the set up they have for announcers w/ 2 face and 1 heel. Jerry Lawler was also better as a heel announcer, since his comments were much funnier. Although the leering old man routine really needs to be retired.

Hmmm, Taboo Tuesday results. I actually voted in it, it was pretty easy to vote. I didn't expect Flair to beat HHH. That looked like a brutal match. Or for HBK and Angle to team up on Cena, but that looked pretty sweet. Cena isn't even close to their leage, if HBK and Angle are the pro-teams, then Cena is part of the afterschool elementary league.

Possibly a decent Divas match since Trish and Victoria are in it. I'm quite amused by the Mickie James fixation on Trish. What happened to the Trish that would take advantage of that?! Trish makes a great heel, and she seems really bland when she's face. Wow, Candice is actually trying something. Seriously Mickie James needs to work on her kicks. They are so lame. Hello, ref, Trish is illegal in the ring. Are you so useless that you can't get her out? ....Well, Victoria and Candice won by foreign object, but that's fair considering the amt of time that Trish was in the ring. Woah, Candice just gave Victoria a celebratory kiss. Well, that's something you'll never see 2 male tag partners do.

Yeah, Kurt Angle! Oooh, wait, he just noticed they were chanting "You Suck!"? This should be amusing, as if the crowd would chant anything else, but he is completely right. Kurt is probably the best wrestler they have, defintely the best technical, being 2 time olympic champ. And he's always performed, never had a crappy night. "Kurt! Daisuke!" Aww, he can't hear me. *nodding in agreement to Kurt's tirade* Yup, Americans are selfish, and abusive of their rights. ... Okay, that's horrible that Kurt's wife left him b/c of the business. They should probably call wrestling the relationship-killer profession. Hardly anywhere else would you be expected to be on the road 320 days and get paid less than a million.... Well, Kurt's speaking from the heart for all the pains he's gone thru, but I'm not sure why the writers are letting him vent. It's .... a bit different than the way they've usually operated. Sometimes I think I watch wrestling b/c it's means more than any of the professional sports. Sure the stories are lame half the time, a lot of the wrestlers aren't that good or popular for stupid things *cough Cena*, but the bumps they take are insane, and they should know that someone appreciates them.

Oh, there's Lita. She really is just the prop nowadays. She was a crappy wrestler, but at least she knew some moves. Heh, Bischoff kicked her to the curb. They also seem to be slightly positioning Bischoff more towards face. It'll be amusing to see the match btwn him and Teddy Long. Teddy's just been a referee and Bischoff did do some pro kickboxing before. Oooh, I like Bischoff's censoring but the beeps hurt like shit. *mute* Okay, HBK's on. I think they should move HBK to heel again. He was a good heel. And he does stuff that's heel-worthy, but they still treat him like a face.

Huh, haven't seen Dabari in a while. Geez, still booing him? And the announcers having a beef b/c he's Middle Eastern? Stupid Americans. You get most of your oil from the Saudis. Or maybe that's the problem. So reliant on Middle East ties, but the Middle East tell them to piss off.

What Kind of SOUL do you posses?

You have a Lost Soul. No one is really sure what
that can always mean, because it can be defined
in many ways. As Legend goes, lost souls were
the spirits of passed away people who are
neither in heaven nor hell. They walk the
earth, brooding mysteriously, always appearing
when you expect it least. So hence, if you have
a Lost Soul, then you are probably very
insecure and shy. Stuck in your own little box,
you watch the world fly by as a loner. You dont
know your place. You seemingly dont have a
place in society or an interest. You are a very
capricious person, and are confused and
frustrated about where you belong. You crave
for the sense and feeling of home-but have not
obtained it yet.

Sounds like me. I'm always the one that doesn't have a future job choice and can't answer the what'll you be doing in 5 yrs. A drifter on the whims of the current, aimless and searching, with a few anchors to tie me to the land.

Cursed other patients!

Well, I'm home a bit earlier than usual. Well actually a lot earlier since I only worked half my shift. Exactly at that too. The annoying stupid person finally hung up at the right time. And I love the other guy who couldn't figure out how to set up a personalized greeting for his VM and then said he wasn't dumb and then couldn't hang up his speaker phone which I was on. Yeah o-kay. Then there's the other bag who insulted me when I kept answering her question but she didn't have enough brains to draw a conclusion, grrr! Wonder why most reps don't call back?

Actually I wasn't even going to go to work today, but I did b/c I had to get the rent application from D. (Heh, D. Well not as cool as Count D, but he's all right for a guy) And I can't believe it asks for your current -and- previous employer. I suprised that it doesn't need a credit check though. Now the problem is the emergency contact. I don't really wanna put my middle brother b/c he's an ass, but I don't know if my Dad would know what to do. And I don't get in contact w/ my big bro that much though, although he's the most competent. And I dont' know if my Dad knows I'm moving out, or if all that rent shit was just some crap that my brother came up w/.

Anyways, been w/ the stomach pains every time after eating for the last 3 weeks, constant migraines after work and hence passing out when I get home and finish eating(usually while playing the PS2), shedding of copious amounts of hair b/c of stress, forgetting to feed Feebas for a 1 1/2 days (and boy was he mad, he even knocked down the lucky bamboo which I think I'll name
Lifthrasir which is Nordic for "She desires life" b/c it's the only one out of 4 stalks that's still alive after all my experiments)and today having to ask everyone to repeat numbers, went home early. Yes I did. And I couldn't make a doctor's appointment b/c they're booked up. And it wasn't like I just wanted to leave early, but I'm not feeling good. I need a cat day, but tomorrow I have to deliver the rent application. Which has me holding off on a lot of purchases b/c I need to save up. Ya know, the funny thing is, and this occurred to me while I was window shopping in the mall, I'll be really tight w/ my money in games. In Growlanser I have over 200 000 gold, which will let me get every gem and armour available. But I won't just buy gems. But I'll think about buying Soul Calibur 3, even though I have 4 games I haven't even played yet. Or I'll just pick up a manga b/c it looks cute and the description is interesting. It's just wierd.
