Daylight Savings, Sigh

trimper1 — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 05:04:46 +0000

Well I was looking forward to the clocks going back an hour or w/e happened but man, its made me so tired recently. Woke up this morning wide awake and ready to go, but still my biological clock hasn’t adjusted and I’m still freakin’ tired. Just can’t wait for this to go away… This week needs to hurry up and go by, Monday has already been a rockier start than usual .
On a good note at least there is some rain tonight and it is getting cooler. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Working at Gamestop

trimper1 — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:56:09 +0000

Apperantly its a ton of fun according to this guy

Perks, Perks, Perks!
Can you say free video games? That’s right! I’m allowed to check out all the used video games I want for free, and for as long as I want to! I just got Dead Space today, didn’t pay a dime. Whenever I decide to return it, I can get another game. Golden!
Also, I got a free pre-order code for Mirror’s Edge, meaning I can play the time trial events! Also, a large GoW2 cardboard cut-out. It’s super sweet.

Discounts!
15% off of any product in the store, minus game consoles! Not only that, but I get 15% more money when trading stuff in! Good deal, yo!

Ridiculously Easy Work!
You want to know what I did at work today? I hung up some signs, changed the displays, and swapped slipcovers. The entire time, I got to talk about video games and other nerdy goodness.

Gaming on the Job!
You want to know what I did after I was done with that? I played some Fable 2.

Fun People!
Many customers are freakin’ fun! They all want to talk about video games and movies, which I’m more than happy to discuss! Even the ones returning faulty products are in generally good spirits! Maybe they fear angering their retailers of fun?

Crushing Childrens’ Dreams!
A seven or eight year old kid came in today with his dad and tried to buy Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. As they picked it out, the dad asked about the game’s Mature rating. My coworker said, “It’s an incredibly violent game filled with gore, sex, drugs, and foul language. For instance, one way to restore your health is to have sex with a hooker in the back seat of your car. The game is definitely rated M for a reason.”
The dad immediately put it back, and the kid looked absolutely crushed at our betrayal.

Restoring Childrens’ Dreams!
Feeling bad for the little tyke, I recommended “True Crime.”
I said,
“It’s similar to Grand Theft Auto in a lot of ways, but it’s much less violent, and drugs and sex have been toned down quite a bit. It’s still an M-rated game, but it’s much cleaner than the Grand Theft Auto series of game. I’d recommend it as a good alternative to Grand Theft Auto, as long as you feel your kid can handle the game’s violent aspects.”

Watching Other People Crush Childrens’ Dreams!
Daddy said nope.

Sweet Hours Doing Fun Shit and Such!
Gears of War 2 Midnight Launch? Yes please! Black Friday Midnight to Six shift? Yeeha!

The Neighbors!
Everybody loves game retailers! We’re located next to a fantastic ice cream parlor who’ll occasionally throw us a discount! Double scoop, please.

For Guitarists Who Have Cut or Damaged A Fingertip

trimper1 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:56:46 +0000

The son of Italian immigrants,Tony Iommi picked up the guitar as a teenager, after being inspired by the likes of Hank Marvin and The Shadows. He played guitar left-handed. In an industrial accident at the age of 17 on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory, he lost the tips of the middle and ring finger of his right hand. Iommi considered abandoning music, but his boss (who knew of Iommi’s “night job” as a pub band guitar player) encouraged him to reconsider by playing a record by jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, who earned wide acclaim despite limited use of his fretting hand following an injury.

After attempting to learn to play right-handed, Iommi strung his guitars with extra-light strings (using banjo strings, which were a lighter gauge than even the lightest guitar-strings of the time) and wore plastic covers over the two damaged fingers. He fashioned the latter himself, by melting plastic liquid-soap bottles into a ball and then using a soldering iron to make holes into this ball, putting his fingers in while the plastic was still soft enough to be shaped. He then trimmed and sanded away the excess plastic to leave himself with two thimbles, which he then covered with leather, to provide better grip on the strings. Subsequent tips have been custom-made.
There’s still hope for people that have damaged the tips of their fingers, all you need is a little ingenuity.

Halloween Night Movies

trimper1 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:35:10 +0000

I never would have thought that on halloween the movies would be so empty. No kids, no parents, mostly older folks who aren’t even there to see the latest action thriller like I was. Out of the 4-5 people in my theater, only 3 of them were people around my age. Wish it was like that more often, usually theaters are loud and crowded

Attacked At A Haunted House

trimper1 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:32:12 +0000

“Earlier this evening, Mat Trotters Gymnastics, A gym center I’m constantly helping out at with events they host, hosted a private halloween type party for children. This event had a haunted house, which I was working in, along with a few other people. things were going pretty well (we had 2 boys on their knees screaming “Oh lord jesus almighty, help me! help me!”).
It was nearing time that we were supposed to tear down the decorations, but we had a few minutes, so we decided we would let a few more groups in.

We had about 15 kids rush in, just running through, trying to be as destructive as possible. One girl went around punching whichever employees she could find in the face (she found 2). one boy was blocking the exit to the haunted house, and another was screaming at children.
I had a 2 pound bag of candy swung at my head, and it left me with a lump and a 20 minute headache.
After we cleared the children out, we had to tear down early due to the incident, and we had 2 employees who got punched in the face (one will probably have a black eye), one who got kicked in the face, and me, who got the candy bag to the head.
I earned 60$ for working in the haunted house.”
