Anger problems? Sort of...
Jan. 19th, 2009 09:15 pm... but not in the usual way.
Hehe...
I've noticed something stupid about me and getting angry. When i get really mad at something, i kinda get an energy rush. Which could be bad, 'cause i could go into a "PYX SMASH STUFF! RAR!" mode. ... which can be sort of fun too, but destructive.
But the stupid thing that happens is then i just enjoy the energy rush too much and forget i'm mad 'cause i'm having too much fun with it.
Then i just get really hyper and bouncing around. Which is just silly. It's a bit like if energy just had to come out some way, and it did that way. Which is entertaining, at least.
Oh, and there needs to be some lasertag with barcode scanners. Close range action! I think that could be so silly, but so much fun. That way you couldn't snipe from far away, and you could just have pads with barcodes that have the player ID and body part on them, so you could really have an accurate way of knowing who and where you've hit. Could even do it outdoor that way!
It's funny to see how much i can manage to do with boring retail hardware. That stuff is so full of potential, but used so boringly...
Just a few days ago i found an old thing they were about to throw away, was used to sell house plans... Turns out it's an awesome trinitron CRT touchscreen, high precision stuff. The kind i'd never get the budget approved for. I'm making something awesome out of it.
I'm slowly getting my network back up and running, it's nice. And feels... Odd. It's like if having the network running... Not even being near it, but just having it running, somehow, it seems to give me a tech bonus of some sort. It's like if it was unicasting motivation to me over wlan or something. Even at work i feel so much more into it.
Oh, and that's another funny thing with work. It's so behind... well, was so behind technologically that i've been able to unload all my outdated and unwanted hardware onto them. I mean, some people were still running 486s and P1-75Mhz as main desktop. And NO, they weren't still good enough for them. They could run the terminal apps sure, yeah, but when they got a 65mb PDF for the 2009 product list, it just wouldn't do.
So i've gotten rid of most of my sub-950Mhz systems that way. Not that i really needed them for much. But it's so nice to be able to walk around the place and sort of know personally all the systems there. It's a nice bonus that working in a computer store doesn't give you. You get the systems when they die, but otherwise you don't ever hear from them. Now at work i can just go around and get comments, usually along the lines of "Thanks for the upgrade, it kicks ass!".
So much fun...
I'm finally at that point where i'm no longer trying to keep up systems that are falling apart, i've pushed thru, and now i'm going from the 2nd most outdated warehouse-type store one of the most up to date. And interestingly, nationwide, we're also kicking ass. Not all because of me, of course, but i know i'm a part of why we're doing so well. Having the systems ready and availible for what you need helps quite a bit, and having certain tasks cut from 45min to about one or two... More time to be on the sales floor, more time to make money.
And FC is coming! Whee! I'm kinda happy, this is the first convention this.ye.. wait, no. 2008 conventions were a mad rush. 2009 is starting smoothly... No mad rush from work to the airport this time. And yeah, i'm short on money, but not to the point of not being sure if i can eat, or make it home this time.
Job stability helps with that too. I know at least for sure there's more money coming.
Taxes are scaring me tho. I'm afraid i worked too much, and that they'll just tear me apart.
I'm finally starting to catch up on movie watching and stuff. Me and a coworker, which has now been converted to being a snake-type creature (muahahaha!) have started renting movies once a week, there's a 3 movie/7 days/7$ deal we take advantage of. So yay, i'm starting to know more what the hell people are making references to!
Oh, and i'm definitely starting to like some forms of coffee. Evil. Or not. I'm not sure anymore.
And i want to find other people who could do more refsheet-type stuff for me, going more in details for certain things.
... and i should be doing stuff!
See! This is what happens when i'm hyper and close to a keyboard.
Hehe...
