CS is going on vacation starting tomorrow…. good thing, as he was getting on my last nerve by end of day. Though on call, I’ll take comfort in being home for the next couple of days. He just pisses me off, because he seems unable to comply with any request I put to him. Today, I just asked that he copy files to the network, so we have some sort of back up, and he gave me annoying sass and crap over it. I seriously doubt that he’ll last very long, at this point. If he cops the same stupid attitude too many times with the kahuna, he’ll get bounced out of there. He just can’t seem to get it through his skull that there is a time and place for innovation, and another for grunt work, and yet another for fun.
Friday, I get to Train MM some more, and put the Georgia and Florida Newsletters on the site… that should be fairly peaceful. I think I’ll increase the size of the 51, too.
I’m going to try playing a little FFXI with the PGM crew tonight, if I can. Sammy & D will be good guides there. I’m going to be connecting to the Bismarck server, if anyone wants to look for a Galkan warrior. I’m going to shoot for a name similar to Scotto, but not sure what to go with, as yet. I’m sort of fond of the Tarutaru, too. You can tell this game has it’s origins in Japan… cat girls and all pseudo babeage. I managed to avoid everquest, but FFXI has the allure of people I know playing.
[update] – If I didn’t have friends there, I might not give it a second chance. I think you need some sort of degree in game dynamics to leap into it immediately… it’s the first game I’ve ever *needed* someone to show me how to move, talk and act. I’m sort of annoyed that I will probably have to actually read the manual, because the interface is not Scotto-intuitive at all. The short time I was there, it was fun, and very pretty. I will continue to fiddle with it and see if I get better at the interface. If you’re on the Bismarck Server, and you see a big galkan named Scottobear, say hi! Meanwhile, I think I’ll play some more in There. (New client for there at – downloads.there.com/download/there_tla5.exe ) a mere snip at 101 megs. Maybe my bad attitude was influenced by my end of day mindset with ACIM. I’m a little tired of things defying me.
Random thought as I get ready this morn… Moss-man is really cool on the new He-man cartoon. He’s like a juiced up post Khund-apocalypse (Giffen Legion) Chlorophyll Kid. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, they’re a big geek like me, too. Transformed from sort of a joke (a green, leafy spy and master of camo, basically) to a really useful and powerful person. Biggest bonus? Maybe this means there’ll be fuzzy, green action figures again?
