Prey On the Luddites, do not Pray For the Luddites

I started working at the electronics retailer on this Thursday past, and I've got to tip my hat to the employees of the retail world. It is not an easy job. I arrived at the store at 13:00 ready put on my shirt and start training. Apparently my shirt was never ordered, so I was put on merchandising for the day. Another job that is not at all easy. I spent approximately five hours unpacking boxes and cataloging their contents, and putting said contents on the shelves. I spent the next few hours tagging the items that were put on the shelves; it was rather tedious. I didn't make any sales that day, because there was no user account created for me. Rather, the sales I did make were given to someone else, because I could not use the computers. Which run SCO. Squick. The next day I was tasked with further tagging, this time for the ULTIMATE FATHERS DAY SALE OF DOOM™, which was even more tedious and physically unpleasant. During the chaos I did manage to sell around $350, which I was told was fucking awful, but hey

<rant>
it was better than what people who have been there for three weeks sold, so you know what they can eat a hairy goat ball god damn it!
</rant>

Anyways, today I sold a solid $800 which is pretty god damn cool for my third day of sales, ever. Not that I really made any money personally, but whatever, temporary jobs were never meant to get you rich.

On a more pleasant note, I got a call from the human resources department of our nations wang. Hopefully I can work in our phallic symbol as a Desktop Analyst.

Almost Rainy Today

I took a trip down to High Park to finish up re-reading The Metamorphosis of the Prime-Intellect and to take some pictures. I'll share the pictures at a later date, I just don't have them on my desktop and don't feel like sending them over at the moment. It was pretty cool, and is a very beautiful park, I'll have to go again pretty soon.

So Serenitee was watching Hostel earlier, I think she really liked it. ;)

Tomorrow I start working at the electronics store, which will be interesting. The strange thing is I missed a call from the Scarborough branch of the store; I really have nothing to do with that outlet. Oh well, they better have my shirts tomorrow.

Should I sell Dildos or Dual Screens?

This afternoon I took the TTC down to Younge and Bloor to do a bit more job hunting. I passed out around 10 resumes, mostly to record, book, video game, and sex toy stores. The funny thing is I seemed to get the best reaction out of the managers of the sex toy stores; both said I should expect a call in the next couple of days for an interview. Which would be great, if the district manager of the electronics store didn't call around 20:07. I should be starting work at the electronics store on Thursday, which is great because I have a dirt haulin' gig with a landscaper on Wednesday. I really don't know weather I want to sell electroincs or sex toys though. I mean, how the hell can I choose which of the two discounts is best?

And now for the World of Warcraft stuff no one but those who play will understand. Last night I ran SFK with Deftorc (Johnny) and a bunch of guys from Ninja Looters Anonymous. I was the only caster in the party, and all of the cool drops were only usable by me, in a couple of levels that is. This evening Snowpea (Forkes) ran me through the Deadmines and I hit 18, which let me use most of the loot I snagged during the session. I also got an absurd ammount of stuff I couldn't use, which I put up on the AH, including a Siamese kitten.

Hi Brain Spider,

I was visiting your profile today on blogger.com and thought you could use this for your blog "Spiders In My Brain".

Can you take a moment and check-out this web site remo.ved?

I believe it could be beneficial to you for hosting pictures, videos and whatever else without worrying about bandwidth usage. It's much better than all the other file hosting sites I have used. It's totally free and pretty easy to use.

Shaka0070,

You are an internet troll. You are is a festering boil on the ass of the internet. Your Comprehensive Marketing Database should be illegal. Your kind is internet poison.

Love,

Brain Spider.

P.S. This is going to be my next blog post. Cocksucker.

The Stockyards if you Prefer

Last night I went to Tim Horton's with Serenitee and Tits, we were all in rather desperate need of caffeine. I also thought it was in my best interest to stop by the liquor store to pick up a small bottle of gin. The store was closed 'due to emergency' and a police cruiser was parked right by the door. It must have happened moments before we arrived; we went to the beer store, as it was next door and a gigantic line formed behind us.

Of course, it is possible that the denizens of the slaughterhouse district are alcoholics.

Care to meet me @ the Org AH?

Well last Friday I went on a good long walk. Not intentionally, but because the directions I was given extremely bad directions, that would have had me backtracking across half the city. I mistook Finch Station to be at Jane & Finch, when it is actually at Young & Finch. So I ended up walking the 4.x kilometers to highway 7. If I had stayed on bus 35D I would have ridden all the way to number 7, and not developed giant blisters on my feet.

So I'm getting back into the swing of World of Warcraft. I created an undead warlock on Friday, after my journey, and am within 1000xp of level 14 as of yesterday. Mr. Forkes is making it very easy for me, as he supplied me with 10 gold on my first day, which has helped me load out my skills. I am going with a demonology build, as I haven't really given the warlock a fair run in the past. Seems to me that they are pretty god damn powerful. I'm not sure how things will play out in PvP, but as far as instances go I should be able to felsen das haus.
