Get the idea yet?
After looking over the last post [WHICH WAS POST #99! MEANING THIS IS POST #100!] I'm beginning to realize that my job is the source of a lot of negative blogging. Now, that shouldn't come has a huge surprising, considering most people don't enjoy what they do for a living. If anyone reading this can stop and say "Wait, that's not true for me, I love[/like] my job!", then please know I considering you truly blessed and hope you all the best in the future.
Anyway, my overall mood is a negative one, but let's try to focus on some other things... Let's look at the "glass half full" parts of my life lately.
Surprise surprise, but there is some light at work; I have a full staff, now! The Warehouse at work is now staffed by myself, my "assistant" Greg, my ol' reliable partner and the "picker", Willy [I hate calling him Willy. I think William is such a cool name.", our newest "receiver" Mike and my two newbies, Chris and Marcos. So far, they seem to be cool guys, but I'm having a lot of frustration with a half staff of newbies, an assistant that's only been there for a few months... There's a lot of questions, but I appreciate the fact that I'm answering questions from people doing the work instead of having to do all the work. It's definitely a better situation then, say, this time last year where it was only me and William back there and I had to do everything.
I've also been sworn in for the United States Air Force! This is an amazing step forward because it means I am almost in completely. All I'm waiting for is a job spot to open up. Then I'll have a shipdate and I will definitely be happy! I can't wait, the money... Security... So many good things in one little package.
Hey, guess what?! I haven't perfected it yet, but I think I've actually been working on my temper! Like I said, it isn't perfected, but I'm noticing situations in life being handled with ... Well, LESS rage than normal. Still some rage, but considerably less than I think I normally would handle it with. I don't know what's inspiring this change... Maybe the simple fact that soon, I will have to deal with much worse conditions than those at work and I'll have to do it with a "Yes, sir!" and no attitude. Definitely not going to be easy, with my short fuse... But I have to work on it, no matter what. I can't say "Oh, well, I just have a temper. No big deal!" because it is a big deal.
Not only that, but my memory's been working! Those who know me have learned I am infamous for my terrible short term memory. I don't remember conversations from five minutes ago. Or rather, I didn't. I've become a human encyclopedia at work lately, constantly remembering everything that comes my way, be it order numbers or even conversations. I think the major difference is that I stopped worrying about having a bad memory. I stopped thinking it, I stopped believing it. I've actually grown quite proud of how well I remember things and that people come to me for what I have in my head. It's good times.
Oh, you know what's awesomeness in a can? GCW is in Year 4 now! I've expanded, creating two separate shows and full rosters for each of them. I'm really excited about the future, it's going to be awesome to develop so many personalities and stories. Can't wait!
Fable 3. Bought it. Beat it. Liked it. Didn't love it to death, though. I admit, they did change some things and what they changed, I liked. I enjoyed tracking the changes of my weapons and the reason for the changes. I loved that my sword gained a "virtuous" shape because I was a good parent. I played through the first one as a male with a family early on in Brightwood, but my second game is being played as a girl and so far, I'm not working on the family yet. I may not at all. I'm also using my hammer this time instead of the sword like last time. Trying different things, ya know... To get the entire Fable 3 experience.
I was disappointed to learn that you can't choose a dog species... I had heard a rumor about that and I guess that's what it was; A rumor. The clothing was cool, changing the colors was a lot easier and the combinations were fun to do. The ending was disappointing, though. The last battle was, as like the previous two games, very 2-dimensional. Very easy. And the person you had to defeat was, again, not what you'd expect. In the bad way.
I won't spoil anything for ya, though. Promise.
The use of the Map in your Sanctuary was awesome, it helped me by virtually every peice of real estate in the game. That was oodles of fun! The real fun was geting over $100,000 every five minutes and building one hell of a bank account. SEEING your gold pile up, by the way?! Awesomeness.
Oh, I added a new detail to my eventually-to-be-done back tattoo... A saying in Latin that'll probably go on the horizontal bar of the cross... I don't have the translation in front of me, but it says "Anything for Anyone", a meaning that I'll keep to myself.
So there we are... 100 blogs. Here's to... 100 more? Maybe. Maybe.
