Corporate Stupidity In Action
For the last few months, we've only been open until 7 on sundays. Someone recently decided to change that to 8. They forgot to tell Headquarters thatr so they could set the automatic controls to the new time. So YESTERDAY, at 7 PM, half the lights and the fans shut off. While we had cussstomers in the store. And I found out that the District Manager was the one who changed the hours. |

The Adventures of Captain Geek
I have a list of adventures for super hero RPGs garnered from various sources. I KNOW it is incomplete. It is TEN PAGES long and spans the years 1981 to today. If I ran one of them every weekend it would take me SEVEN YEARS. But what a campaign. 8-) |

Stuff
Siege #1: OH MY &*(&^*(&^ing gods!!!!!! Norman Osborn attacks Asgard (currently hovering over Borxton OK) at the urging of Loki. He has an army of supervillains that he's convinced the world are the good guys. There's a shot of Ares standing on the nose of a jet fighter weilding his battle axe at the head of this force. This is supposedly the end of the events that began in Avengers Disassembled, (Yes, THAT far back) and will usher in Marvel's Age of Heroes. And we STILL don't know what H.A.M.M.E.R. stands for. Suicide Kings: Finished it this morning. I'm not sure what I want to say about it because I don't want to give anything away. It is the end of the current cycle. But it almost feels like the end of the whole series. And I really hope that's not the case. This is one good book. All 20 volumes of it. 8-) |

Help
I'm looking for a copy of Paragon d20, Vancouver 2020, & Paragon: Apocalypse. These were free docs published under the OGL. I had a copy of the first on disc and print, but my print was destroyed and so was the disc. I haven't been able to find a valid link anywhere. I'm hoping one of my friends/admirers/stalkers could help me out. |

Not Having A Good Day
Actually quite a few bad days. I am not handling this holiday season well. And now, my bank is having problems so I can't get my money. They say it'll be fixed later today and it damn well better be. But right now I'm trying really hard not to breakdown. I am really getting sick of all the crap in my life and I have no idea what to do about any of it. It's getting to be too much. Last night I was really tempted to just shut off all the heat and let the cold take me. The only thing that really stopped me was Annie. As long as she is around I just can't do it. |

Suicide Kings
I picked up the latest Wild Cards novel just before Xmas (my gift to myself) and have started reading it. If you're not reading Wild Cards, shame on you. This is going to be a good one. |

Cool Idea
Because, when you really think about it, wouldn't Red Dawn have been a whole lot cooler if Captain America were in it? This is from the description of a Mutants & masterminds sourcebook called Wargames 1: Superhuman Threats of the Cold War. And I just HAD to share it with my fellow geeks. |

Work News!!! (Some Late).
Well, one month ago yesterday, I FINALLY got my reach truck license. A reach truck is a stand-up forklift that we use for the really heavy stuff. Like pallets of tile. The Special Services Manager (who shall remain nameless but has been mentioned here before) has been after me to get it. After I took the FOUR HOUR online course, I told him to arrange for one of the employees qualified to train me to have the same schedule as me and we could get it done. He never did. One of the newer ASMs, Fiona, found out a month ago that I didn't have the license and asked the night supervisor to take the time to train me. It took and hour and I have my license. Shows what a manager can do if she actually applies herself. And this one does on a daily basis. We lost two employees in Flooring Sunday. One was a part-timer who was just sick of all the shit. I'll miss her, she had great potential. The other one felt me and the DH were too hard on him. Just because we wanted him to do the job he was hired to do the way the company wants him to do it. And I found out this week that he was making MORE than me. And bitching about it. This was his SECOND job. Not ever, he's working TWO jobs. Now he's at Luna. He will get eaten alive. I'm glad he's gone. |
