Work-Related Goodness

So yesterday was a fairly hectic day. Had to get up at 5:30 in order to be on time for the store meeting at 7:00. The store is prepping for the big holiday rush, and we really need everyone to be on the same page and ready for the insanity. We had some fun activities, though, and some prizes were given out. I snagged a copy of Battlefield 2142 for the PC, but since my laptop can't handle it, I sold it for about $40 online instead.

I also received a nice little honor at the meeting. I was awarded MVP of my department, and I got a cool little certificate and got to pick out another prize. I chose the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 webcam, but mainly because all the other cool stuff was already taken. I kinda wanted the MP3 player, but oh, well...there's always next time.

I might also be up for a promotion sooner than expected. One of the guys in the warehouse decided to step down and join the LP Team, so I'm going to inquire about the currently void position. I'm not sure who else might be applying for it, but I wouldn't mind a step up on the ladder.

Another Week Rolls By

Another week rolls by here in the mountains of WV, and again I have little news to report. I got my comics for October in the mail on Monday. I haven't started reading them yet, but one of the issues is The Pirates of Coney Island #1, so I'll be getting on that shit this weekend. I also received a letter in the mail from the court letting me know that, on my court date, the trooper who handled my accident will be on vacation. This is very, very, very good news because, without the officer there, my case may very well get thrown out. And if my case gets thrown out, I don't have to pay the fine and may not even have the accident on my permanent record. Maybe.

Our three months of digital cable ran out here at Casa de Schoo/Gauthier on Tuesday, so it's back to basic cable and cable internet for us. To be honest, we weren't taking advantage of the digital cable like we should have, but oh, well. I also added a new game to my arsenal for PS2: Marvel Ultimate Alliance. The game's pretty freakin' sweet and plays exactly like X-Men Legends, only the cast is way, way bigger. The graphics are also way better, too. I haven't played much of it, though; I still wanna beat X-Men Legends first.

And last, but certainly not least, I want wish a Day After Birthday to my friend . I didn't want to make a big fuss about it, but I mailed her a cool birthday card yesterday. I would have mailed it sooner, but Adelphia cut off our cable internet by accident when they shut off our digital cable. Otherwise, I would have mailed the card on Tuesday. Whoops!
