Work has been sporadic lately, some days extremely busy, other days I flat out read books, no joke...
Anyways, when not at work I've been spending a lot of time on my online games (PC, sorry Hoji!) and have been taking things very slowly with a certain friend of mine, she and I are at that "Hey...what's up?" point in our life. You know what I mean...where you're sitting around, looking around doing what you feel is just about nothing besides working, eating, sleeping, etc.
I guess I'm stuck in a pretty awful routine because I've become something of a recluse, only talking with a few select people, even at work I haven't been talking or emailing much, keeping to myself (or at least my department of 3 people including myself) unless it explicitly involves work.
Maybe I just fail at life :P
I'm not unhappy though I may be depressed.
Maybe I'm just bored and possibly a bit lonely but I'm not sure.

A Week Off
As you may know, I run this Blog while at work and pretty much only at work to pass the time when I'm not busy running around fighting the fires of corporate IT. (No, we don't do prevention, we'd have to hire more people for that.) Anyways, this...is supposed to be my week off, but apparently someone's child is let's put it nicely and say...creating a new form of astroturf on mommy's shoes so here I am heh. Honestly, I don't mind coming in at all, especially not when someone's child is sick I mean sheesh, got to deal with that first of course. What I do mind however, is that someone can't manage to type their password in correctly and I reset it to our "default" and then they can't seem to change their password from the default....to what they want.
All in all, I gave him a big ol'"Pandaeye08" as his password for now seeing as he just can't seem to understand...well...anything, especially why I have to scrounge up a working computer (which we had only one, a laptop which was to be used for guests ONLY) whenever his department has 3 laptops just sitting around not being used.
Engineers of the world, you guys must really SUCK.
And to quote Clerks, which I must do of course, "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"

Switcharoo!: Times two!?
Another little IT tidbit of information for everyone.
If IT has to come by and set up a program specifically for you at your computer... you better not be switching seats with a coworker the next day, the office is no place for musical chairs.

My first "unpost" I figured this one was a bit too angry considering all the crap that happened yesterday so I decided to undo most of it.
By the way....
Yeah I had to add that one in hehe, I love WoW...*le sigh*

Oh No!
Well, it's my first stumble with my blog, I actually forgot to post anything almost all of this/last week. To those who might actually read this, Sorry!
Anyways, time for some updates hm?
1. New cable is in! I had a line ran for my computer from the router and a new cable line ran to another wall in my bedroom, 20 bucks for each run, the cables alone cost about that much, let alone if you had anyone else do it besides myself it would've cost a lot more.
2. No new tv yet, turns out I want to get new tires for my car first, I hate being so darned responsible... bleh.
3. Not sure what's going on with the girlfriend honestly, haven't heard from her for the past couple days even, guess I'll have to call her up and get her attention sometime this afternoon.
4. Our IT dept. now has a "work order" system for internal purposes, not in use yet but it looks like it will work out just fine, I just got done making the instructions for it.
5. Haven't played Xbox much lately, I actually went out and bought Age of Conan...and...it's good, suprisingly good.. Note: Slow down, read the text and savor the story because it's a good one.
Some of the coolest things about AoC though have to do with the fighting, everyone gets mortal kombat style fatalities (on chance), set someone aflame and watch them crumble to the ground screaming in pain, take a swing at someone's crotch and as they fall down bring your sword around in an arc, cutting off their head, swing left, taking out the left arm then right taking out the right arm and finally the head, crazy stuff like that.
Also, it actually matters WHERE you swing your sword, you have options for directions and even when doing a "special ability" some spells and abilities make you swing in certain directions, which can mean more damage if they're not actively guarding the side that you're swinging at.
Guarding: Everyone has three "defense points" or shields, default is that one is in front, one is to your left, one is to your right (can only swing left, right, forward so that's all you can block from). You can change these shields around (not suggested) and so can your enemy, sometimes you can fool an enemy into guarding one side heavily by focusing your attacks to that side of them before then switching sides to a completely unguarded side of their body, this works with combos too and can be VERY deadly. I haven't done PVP yet so I'm sure that's freaking crazy with people moving shields all the time, but in PVE, simply trick them into going 2 shields left, 1 shield up, and then lay into them with combos that make you attack their right side, boom, they're dead in no time.
Hoji, if you have a computer that meets minimum requirements, I'll buy you this game just so you can see it for yourself, it's cool. If you're interested email me at jihalizad2004@gmail.com

Our Corporate Support Desk...
Well, I just got an interesting email.
Dear Greenville LAN Queue,
The Request# XXXXXXX has been opened and assigned to you. The Contact is XXXXX XXXXXX and they have been notified that we have received their request for location Greenville. The contact can be contacted via email at XXXXXX@XXXXXXX or by phone at XXX-XXX-XXXX. The end user has included the following details: Customer says network printer GVLlWA103 is down.
For more information you may view the request using the Incident Monitor Web Client
To acknowledge and take ownership of this request click the following link: Aknowledged
Thank you, XXXXX Support Services
Alright, beyond my X'ing out of anything that could remotely be deemed sensitive, email address, phone numbers, request numbers etc., you might look at this and go "Well...why is that of any significance?".
Here's why...and this has been happening for quite a while now and we here as local IT are PO'd
"Dear Greenville LAN Queue,"
I DO NOT WORK IN GREENVILLE! I have absolutely no access there beyond the basic user, my access is limited to my plant, and for some reason they have seen fit to assign someone from their Greencastle plant, to a Greenville issue.
Now, mistakes happen, and no I wouldn't be so upset if this were the first time. Just for example though, here's another mistake they've made...
Co-worker sends in an account creation request (must be done by corporate IT) the issue, is then assigned to another co-worker here at the local plant. Thank you Corporate IT, thank you for the help... (This has happened numerous times.)
Update: Since writing this post, the issue has been reassigned to my coworker, she told them she knew no such person and of no such printer and that this was not a Greencastle issue. Afterwords...they reassigned the issue back to me!?

Slow...Slow Week
Well, the title should spell it out for you but this week has been slow...fast...and everything in between.
First, I get my tax refund, go out and spend way too much money on buying something I've wanted for a while now, Xbox 360 Elite, wireless adapter, second controller, GTA IV, Devil May Cry IV, Gears of War, Army of Two...etc. Anyways, after dropping almost a grand on all of that, I already start planning on how to spend my "stimulus package" check, www.irs.gov worked it out to be 514 dollars but I won't get that till either the end of this month or the beginning of next month. Now...with that...and some more money of course, I plan on buying a Toshiba 42inch 1080p HDTV and mounting it on the wall.
After all the fun though, this week really really slowed down to a crawl...yesterday I played about four hours of GoW with this guy who needed some Achievement, cool dude, added him to friends and got about halfway through the game (It's kinda short if you know what you're doing.) The time didn't exactly fly even when I was having fun though, I was constantly checking the clock, waiting for one of the parentals to get home so we could go change out our cable service.
All in all I'd say this week was a good week, but I'm so glad it's over and I can just go home at 2pm, relax, and do whatever I want for the next two days.
(By the way, I know I'm blowing my money, but I really have no bills at the moment, I'm a lucky little freeloader living with the fam since cost of living would have me barely making it on my own in a small one bedroom apartment on my $10 an hour wage. [Still working as a temp... in an IT field... been here for over a year now so it stopped looking good a long time ago])

Hooray for Physical Inventory!
Well...here it is, saturday, started at 6:30am, I'm done, my area is fine, but for some reason we're still unloading trucks and ALMOST had production DURING inventory, excuse me but how idiotic is that? The people who use the inventory interface (QAD) have been stopped twice now because of trucks coming in, so even though my area might be done, I'm forced to stay here sitting around on my hands doing nothing along with everyone else but the keyers (100 people standing around, 15 keyers entering tickets into inventory).
Fun huh? The best is yet to come, sometimes these inventories last until around 10-11pm, and noone is allowed to leave until it's done.
Should've brought my favorite movie... Idiocracy
Which everyone should watch! For a clip, go to Youtube and check it out, they have tons of snippets and they're all hilarious, from the opening scenes to "Upgrade, spelled thusly U-P-G-R-A-Y-D-D, with two D's for a double dose of his pimpin'."
