Interrupting a break-in inadvertently is *not* my cuppa. I've just spent the past three hours dealing with said break-in. No, it's not at home. No, nothing of value was taken (Thus the "interrupted" part). The idiot dropped his pay-stub at the scene. His *pay stub*. Cut and dried, really; I do hope they string him up by his nostrils for this crap. ( Read more... )

I'm at work at the accounting desk. A customer just tried to sign the front-desk credit card machine. It's not one of the pen-signy types with the annoying low-res LCD, either. He used a fine-point sharpie.

...I have a funny feeling it's going to be a very long night.

I'm hurling myself headlong into art freelancing again, in a different sort of field. Actual game-dev. I've been freelancing for a nice group based out of Maryland, and out of my first paycheck decided that with the income from two jobs, I can now afford small nice things again. A tablet, for starters, given the impending death of my current art- ( Read more... )

How, praytell, does this not violate separation of church and state.

I've noticed something lately with my mindset and my behavior; I'm finally starting to calm, and mellow. It isn't a life or death struggle for me anymore, and I can actually finally know ease, from time to time. It's given me the chance to sit and observe things that in the panicked rush of the past several month, I wouldn't have given them time at ( Read more... )

So. What did I do today ( Read more... )

I'm not sure what plague I've picked up, but I'm fairly sure it's something from the plethora of people I've been near at my day/night job. Feels like my nostrils are filled with semi-fluid, heated sand, my head packed with a quantity of smoldering wool, and my lungs with bubble wrap. Fun! I don't think I can or should call in sick, either; I work ( Read more... )

So, given my new nocturnal schedule I actually awaken mid-afternoon nowadays. I wasn't quite expecting the bloody planet to serve as my alarm clock; I thought I was suffering a case of vertigo out of the blue until I realized that no, it wasn't me shaking and wobbling, it was the whole room. Apparently there was a quake out near Vancouver Island, ( Read more... )

The tubes are full of tasks, boys and girls, hence why I haven't been poking my head out of them very often. I am presently working a full-time day job. Well, full time night job, actually, and also doing a pretty heavy art contract on the side. On the plus side, my contract boss likes my work enough that he's basically shifted all of the ( Read more... )

Survived my first shift, which is good. What's better is that I actually found it strangely enjoyable, the chance to go and learn new things, the coworkers, the people coming by... it's pleasant, experiencing something new, and the work isn't all that bad. Unlike other jobs, I can sit down when I need to, without having to hit a break first. Coffee ( Read more... )
