edlib Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Giant orchestra on stage. Of course, they wanted me to mic the whole thing. I did... and it sounded pretty good... Well,.. that is to everybody but the one kid who came up to me after the first selection and said: "Hey! It sounds like the orchestra is coming out of the speakers!..." It was a big task... but now I know what I'll do in the future to save effort and time next time they want this kind of show fully amplified.

Keyan Farlander Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Totally stressed out at work. We're supposed to have the week from Christmas to New Year's off, but I'm going to have to work through the whole thing to get my project done.

edlib Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Bummah. I'm working on New Year's Eve if it's any consolation to you... Which is actually fine by me. I would probably never leave the house otherwise. Last year at midnight I think I was playing Portal... which goes to show you just how amazing my social life is...

GUNNER Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Dewey, yeah, that's where I stayed too. It's like the gay beach capital of the east coast now, though. So you might see plenty of skin there, but not the kind you want Yeah, I got told that. So I started looking a little closer and yep... I noticed lots of "happy" people. Well it's been snowing here. We had snow on Sunday, more yesterday and again today. Temps in the 20s. Last day of work is Tuesday and I'm off till the 5th. Thank you Jesus. So what are the good games... Wow is world of warcraft? CoD4 is what? Help get a guy who plays nothing but Half-Life and Counter-Strike up to date... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Got my Christmas bonus today... I'm suddenly in the market for a 42 to 46 inch HDTV, and have no idea what's what since it's not something I've ever looked into before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Been in a pretty foul mood all day. It's a pity too... as this was the day of our giant "Thanks For A Great Year, And Goodbye Until Next Semester" party for all our student crew. I truly wasn't in any kind of a party mood, and I didn't have any kind of good time. I think it's just exhaustion catching up with me... and the realization that I'm probably the only one of my co-workers not traveling somewhere interesting and exotic for the holiday season. That, and the fact that I, once again, have no significant other for this season (and year, for that matter...) and that still doesn't look like it will be resolved any time soon. My epic lameness has caught up with me again. Hopefully catching up on sleep and eating home food in the next few days will improve my spirits...

edlib Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 oh come on edlib!! you did good this year!!!!!! Eh... I don't feel like I did that great right now. But then I'm wiped out and depressed... so everything seems bleak. I'm still hoping after the holiday craziness is behind us that maybe I can manage to get back together with my model friend... but I'm not holding my breath. She's apparently made no effort to get in touch with me yet, so I have the feeling what I got was meant as a very polite brush off. But it's a crappy, crazy busy time of year for everyone... so I'll try not to abandon all hope yet. But it would have been nice to not attend (for once) yet another family gathering as weird bachelor uncle Ed... the only single adult left in the family. Oh well...

Rogue15 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 hey at least you got to go out with a girl, i didn't really get that much. the girl i was kindof interest in, the "text message" one, is ignoring my messages, so i'm a bit angry about that but whatever. that's why i got myself the xbox live subscription, mic, and some video games. girls don't care about me, so why should i ****in bother. at least until i get my own place. i can picture how annoying it would be to have a girlfriend while living at my parents', and 1 of my parents being home like 99% of the time. annoying. like a mosquito...

edlib Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Maybe... but it also doesn't feel all that great to be dropped by a girl who seems desperate enough to go after a total stranger she knows nothing about online after only 4 or 5 or so dates. Granted: I'm pretty sure I probably would have backed out of it myself before too long... but the knowledge that I am lame enough to completely mess up what should be as sure a thing as I have ever been part of in my entire life really doesn't help my self-esteem all that much either. I guess I should give myself credit for at least making the effort a couple of times this year. I only wish all the effort I expended had produced some kind of results... that I had something to show for all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuuki Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 ok ok im single too, been that way i got a possible solution someone quit posting for a while, and if you get a date and a g/f, and that means that posting in this place is counter-productive means of getting teh secks. or at least someone of the opposite secks. there i siad it. now what?

edlib Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hmmm... It's an idea. But I honestly don't think I'd be doing much else with the time I use to post here. Still: as of next week, I'm going to try and limit my online time somewhat in order to tackle a couple of years worth of backed-up chores around the house before I get insanely busy with work again. Specifically: I have to re-do that cellar space before I go stir-crazy. I lost most of my personal living space when I lost access to that room down there. But I don't know if the minutes I use to post here would be usable on the dating scene much... Mostly it's all first thing in the morning; last thing at night; and during dead times at work. Sometimes during days off... when I'm between loads of laundry or other exciting events in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Cracken Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 And here...we... go! I called District offices about me not being in my field services job and it being delayed indefinitely. In the absolutely nicest way possible, I threw my GM and Supervisor under a large shipping train. So when I go to work in the next few hours..... ugh. I talked straight to our District Manager, showed alot of humility and told him the plans I had worked on to smooth the transition out to field services at the store level, but I still have no clear concise answers on why it seems like I'm being cockblocked from a higher pay, and now why someone below me whom I've worked with is being cockblocked from a promotion. So I'll let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for. The grass always seems greener on the other side. But believe me, there are definite advantages to being single. Less stress, less things to worry about, less responsibility, more freedom to pursue personal interests. Not that I'm saying relationships are bad, but, as I'm sure you already know, if you aren't happy out of one, you aren't going to be happy in one. So life is short, and it's best to find joy in whatever state you find yourself in at the time. Sometimes that joy is as simple as playing a fun game or playing a great song on the guitar.
