This Week
Man, what a week.
I think it started last Saturday when at work the general manager took everyone in the kitchen aside and told us "well, we don't want to let anyone go, but..." then proceeded to tell us that there was a company-wide policy to reduce hours so that the already bad 20-25 hours/week people were getting was turning into something more like 12-15. Then she recommended we get new jobs. Man, I hope that job at Barnes & Noble comes sooner rather than later. I bought another land raider crusader off of Jason later in the day, though, followed by a 3-way 40k game with Eric and balony_samitch .
Then on Monday, omega_gamer was in town and some of us played some Magic drafts. Note to anyone planing on doing drafts in the future: never do Rochester format. It's pretty terrible. Also, I drank some Guiness for the first time ever. Best beer ever.
On Tuesday we had a bachelor party for charybdis0 , starting with dinner at Fujiyama's. Man, that place is excellent. Then we headed over to Mark's and proceeded to get totally drunk while playing some more Magic. There were many drunken shenanigans that night.
Wednesday, I woke up at Mark's and after briefly running home to grab some things, ended up going right back there. There was some more Magic drafting then I followed the wedding party over to Lisa's parent's place and watched them go over their practice a bit. I felt a bit like I was just tagging along there, but there was some good food to be had. :P
Thursday was the wedding. I got there a bit early and helped set up while taking a few pictures. Unfortunately, my camera completely died like 10 minutes before the ceremony started, but I got some good pictures of people getting ready and the like. I'll probably upload those to Facebook. So yay, Mark and Lisa are finally married! :D Then, after the wedding we went back to Marks and watched a bunch of ridiculous Star Trek edits.
Then Friday morning, my dad tells me that I'm going to have to find a new place to live. Yeah, I don't even have any money for a deposit, so this will be interesting. :/ Then there was work, where I was kind of out of it all day, then even MORE magic drafting that night...into the morning. I got home about when the sun was coming up and got a few hours of sleep in before work.
So that's now. Apparently, my mom is coming over today to help my dad out with something, not sure what. Hopefully I get a chance to talk to her.
And yeah, that was quite possibly the weirdest week in my life. Got to meet a few new people, catch up with people I haven't talked to in a while, had a lot of fun, and felt the stirrings of some major changes in my life happening. Whee!
