okay...soo...a few things
"red ninja: something about honor"... bad controls so i gave up after a few hours. no review.
Unreal Championship 2: Liandri conflict... wish i had a keyboard. good game, nice new concepts to keep it fresh, just...can't play too well with a controller, need a keyboard and mouse.
birthday goodness: Thank you all to those who sent me fond warm and fuzzies. I greatly appreciate it. As for the day itself:
Got up, got license renewed(correct addy on there now). That was a short amount of time (45 mins). Then went to the courthouse to begin getting my conceal/carry permit for a firearm. Stood in line a little, then proceeded to talk to some girl who kept chewing on one of those floss/toothpick/plastic things. She mumbled and i couldn't understand her, she took some money, and gave me some forms.
Then went to the sheriff's dept to get finger prints done. I've done this before (GCIC certifications); so i know it doesn't take long. Even less since they've gone digital and done away with ink. I stand in a nonexistant line waiting for 2 people to acknowledge my existance for about 10/15 minutes. A few people come in after me to visit inmates, pass me by, and one of the ladies immediately helps them. I've been waiting patiently, but now feel gypped. So when they're done i take a step towards her, she points at the other lady, and promptly ignores me. SO i got ot the other lady, who talks a little more on the phone. She's listing off convictions of some guy, which makes me believe she's talking to an officer or the public defender. Who knows they need the paper work anyway, so why ask for a list over the phone. When she finishes she asks me what i need. soooo:
me step forward, shows fingerprint cards
bitch "I can't do those right now"
me confused: "what?why?"
bitch "I don't have time"
me "okay...i'll wait"
bitch "if you wait, it's going to be a long time"
me "no problem"
bitch "it's going to be a looonnng time."
me "how long is a long time? should i come back later? should i come back tomorrow? what should i do?"
bitch apparently not pleased with my questioning tone "Well, if you're going to be facetious; I don't know how long"
me I then proceed to tell her to calm down and i know what it's like to do this job, i've done it before. "Been there done that"
bitch "look, some people didn't come in, I can't leave the phone, I don't know.
me "there we go! that's something that makes sense, you're short staffed. I'll come back tomorrow then"
Her attitude and what not was not very customer service like. I know how much her job sucks. I've done the same thing, only without inmates being immediately in my vacinity. So I'm going to go back friday with a card that says "I've done the same thing at another agency, I know your job sucks, that's why i quit that job"
before hand i also had to get a money order to send to GCIC for the clearance. So no permit yet.
I also got scammed by the local liquer store. 4 bottles of beer cost me $20. I'll save that for another time. Ingles, however, was nice to me, wished me a happy birthday and was very pleasant.
I made over $500 yesterday though. So a new camera was purchased today. 10x optical zoom, 5MP, kodak thing. not too pleased with shape, but that's what you get for 10x optics. I can now spy on people form relativly long distances. Shuhei is my first victim...err...subject. for art...yeah...that's it. art.
