Hah! We were gonna get stuck with another clunker computer in the warehouse, untill the IT guy in Miami tried to install UPS Worldship 8.0, and then popped up the *ahem* "dreaded" error stating that the software needed Windows 2000 or XP.
I mean dreaded, in the sense that I was fucking extatic. When I told our office director, he looked around for the pervious versions software, then said "Well, guess I must have tossed it out. That doesn't give us many options, go ahead and take the new one."
Yeah, they bought a brand new machine for the guy that works 2 days a week, when use warehouse dudes that need our machine 10 hours a day, 5 days a week don't have one that even functions.
Anyway, so we got that mofo, and our warehouse operations are running smooth as butta' yo. Good times.
Other work related news: My boss thinks he may have to move back to Salt Lake. Says he can't afford to live in Georgia anymore.
*looks around* Soooo, theres two of us working here full time. So who's gonna end up being the boss when you leave? So yeah, I may be in line for another promotion soonish. Another $3.00 an hour, 401k, full health/dental/life/eyecare insurance, and essentially as many hours as I want, with time and a half paid for working past 5:00 PM, and for 40+ hours.
So see, I have this shoe here. For some reason I only have one. Perhaps the other hasn't dropped yet...
Or possibly, karma took a look at said "Woah now, sorry about all that dude. Here's a little sumthin sumthin to make up for all that shit, ai'ght? We cool dawg?"
Fuck it, who knows? Things have been going so well it's a tad overwhelming actually. I told my mom yesterday that I had half a mind to send Hannah a nasty message thanking her for being such a rancid twathole that it made me get the hell out of my rut and ask Devin about the job just so I could get away from the situation with her at work. I rattled off a brief draft, mean as hell, and mom said something like "No no, you need to be subtle, so when she gets it she feels like total shit." I swear half of the bitterness of my personality comes from my Mom.
Had a halfway not obnoxious talk with my Dad for a bit too the other day. He's finally questioning his faith in Christianity some. Actually, quite a bit, and that makes me pretty happy. He's pretty much blindly followed and has had some just blatantly idiotic viewpoints for as long as I can remember. But of course, theres a catch. It's all this "Neiboru" and 10th planet shit. A bunch of ya dee blah about aliens having landedin ancient Syria or something and there having had genetically engineered humans thousands of years before that and all kinds of kooky ass shit. But hell, he's 60, and I'll take what I can get. He's not all "Praise Jesus yaarr yarrr blargh Jesus hates fags beurherhebjrhdbfbdfdf" anymore.
So yeah, thats life.
Hoping to go to the M:TG Coldsnap prelease this weekend. Got some bills to pay though, so might not be able to. Damn two week pay periods. Don't get paid till the 14th, and the prelease is the 8th and 9th. Feck. Can't beleive I've gotten myself roped back into this expensive ass hobby again. It's fun though, so whateva'.
Edity: I thought you guys might like to meet my new wife.

Yeah, my sister taped the episode of Gilmore Girls with a Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore cameo, and every time Alexis Bledel spoke, I turned into a mushy pile of stupid. The gal that plays Loralai is pretty smokin too.
