The year of 1,000 Thanksgivings
Well, maybe not, but it sure feels like it! Thanksgiving is proving to be a recurring theme this year. I've gone to the Thanksgiving party for the cleaning company employees, got leftovers from the 1st shift party at the warehouse, got invited to the second shift party at the warehouse, and we have yet to have Thanksgiving at home! I don't know if Walgreens will be doing anything for the holiday, but I don't think they are, aside from giving us the day before off. We still work on Thanksgiving though.
I've been plugging along, so far so good. I have definitely gotten hired by Walgreens, so now it's just a waiting game. Need to be there for 40 days before I can look into transferring to full time, and then I can drop my other job entirely. Though I've got loads of trepidation about it, I've decided just to wait until then rather than taking action now. I've heard through my Mom that there isn't any way they can cut back my hours at the warehouse (Of course, she could just be lying to influence my decision, but I don't think she is in this case). So, I'll take things one day at a time here.
I acquired the Overlord series of computer games recently and found that my computer cannot run them. So I've decided that now would be a good time to perform my first upgrade, focusing around my video card (though I may need to get a new power supply too, if my current one cannot handle whichever one I end up getting). I've already got a good idea of what I need to get. I've also been weighing whether or not I should get back into playing WoW. I would kind of like to now that I have the money for it. On the other hand, working two jobs, I won't have the time to do dedicated raids or run instances during the week. Also there's the fact that many people who play WoW are jerks, so I can't count on getting much help there if I start up again. City of Heroes might be the better choice, though Champions is out now. I don't know enough about how much they differ, though I suspect they're really both pretty much the same. We'll see.
I wrote a review for the original Friday the 13th. It blew all of my expectations right out of the water. I don't know where I came up with my version of the events, but Friday the 13th did something completely different.

When Google hires someone, they like to throw curveballs. These interview questions are so far outside the box, they'll make you feel stupid.
What better way to save money than to use coupons? Here's a few ideas on how to get some free ones for a modicum of effort.
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Renzor raised enough money to pay for a man's heart transplant surgery a while back, selling a signed copy of the rare N-I-N cd "Still" and a signed Tony Hawk skateboard, and by mobilizing his 500k plus Twitter followers.
