Coworkers

So apparently my brother and two of our friends had the brilliant idea to apply for jobs at Harris Teeter. With my recommendation, they got in for an interview almost immediately. I almost resent the fact that the process has been so much easier for them than it was for me. Whatever, I'll be gone by the time they're done with training anyway. Coming back for holidays might be interesting, however.

I've also been playing a lot of Space Engineers. I can't remember if I've mentioned this in a previous post, nor do I care. Let it stand that I'm still hooked, and probably will be for a very long time.

Spaaaaace!

I've started playing Space Engineers as of a couple of days ago. The amount of time I've sunk into that game already is unreal. Jake and Brian both have it, and working together to do giant space stuff is actually really amazing. It also gives me a reason to use my Mumble server, which I've just paid for again.

Also, more work. I'm almost glad that I'll be leaving it for awhile, even if it means my income is going to hit 0.

New Old iPad

The last couple have days have been boring indeed. Dan sold me his ipad for like $90, so I've spent quite a bit of time playing games and browsing reddit on it. I'm actually really glad I made that purchase.

Also new is the backpack I got today, which is the sling style that I was looking for. I'm not sure if it's going to be able to hold whatever new laptop that I get, but since I didn't get it online, it should be fairly easy to return if it turns out I need a new one.

Shortest Yet

Another new guy started his first day on a register again today at Harris Teeter. Trying to teach these people is always an interesting experience. It was actually the most interesting thing that I've done today, which is why this post is only three sentences long.

Bag is love, bag is life

I finally got to do some bagger stuff at work today. It was a lot of exercise, but I'm glad for the opportunity to not have to interact with customers. I have the impression that this will be happening a lot more for the rest of the summer, as a lot of my shifts are pretty late at night. I suppose we'll see soon enough.

Stealin' yo trash

My party the other day was pretty rockin. A lot of the networking didn't fall through, but we still made it work. All that preparation, and one of the routers ended up blowing out. I need to get a switch before the huge party I plan on having.

Dan also got back today. Since I missed the deadline for taking out their trash, I intended to take it all somewhere to get rid of it before they got back, with the hopes of them never finding out. As I was about to leave their house with all of it, they arrived home. That was fun to try to explain. I ended up taking it all to the dumpsters at the church. I was in such a rush that I didn't even bother to throw any of the recycling in the recycling one, I just heaved it all together in the regular trash disposal thing. I doubt they ever care anyway.

I also just got back from seeing Tammy. As if I needed to spend even more money.

The preparation begins, and ends

My birthday is tomorrow. In a matter of two days, I've managed to line up a LAN party in par with last years. I've only just finished with the table setup and network management. I may need to have someone bring an additional router. I'll contact Austin in a minute.

I have an appointment in the morning to go update my drivers license, as my current one expires after my birthday. It's at an unfortunately early time in the morning, but I should be okay, as long as we can get some coffee before we go.

I also need to find some time to get some fireworks. I might stop by the tent at Harris Teeter when I go to pick up Brian and Akhil.
