My second real long weekend!

As you know I worked in a movie theater for more years than I wish to mention here. So the concept of a "weekend" or "holiday" was foreign to me until a few months ago. In fact, I lost a lot of the love I had for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas due to always working my ass off on those days. And for all you people that went to the theater on major holidays: I HOPE YOU ROT! That is what I have always wanted to scream in the middle of the lobby. People get so angry and then used to yell at me because it was busy! I'm sorry...I'm working instead of being with my family. See, I get angry just thinking about it.

Back to the point of this post. It's about to be a three day weekend and I am about to enjoy the hell out of it. :) It is an amazing feeling knowing that I get major holiday's off now. I swore to myself long ago though that if I ever got out of the theater that I would NEVER EVER go there on a holiday. If I do, it will be to simply say hey to my friends or bring them something nice while they work their butts off.

So next time you are enjoying your holiday and think about seeing a movie please think about the people that work in a place that is open 365 days a year and never get to have a holiday off.

My Computer Is Done! And Stuff...

So I finished building my new computer this weekend and it is all kinds of win. I told Newegg to just give me my money back and I went and bought the power supply from MicroCenter. I will post some pics of the computer later, but its all blue with blue LCDs on the fans so it glows blue inside and you can see it from the window on the side of the case. Its beautiful. :)

I got to play Warhammer Online all day Sunday (literally for like 7 hours, wife wasn't thrilled with me). It was amazing! Best game in years. I played with a couple of my friends and we took part in a keep siege with catapults and everything. I am gonna get years of enjoyment from this game when it releases later in September.

Work is taking us bowling on Wednesday. We were gonna go rafting on the Chatahoochee, but the weather forced us to change plans. :( But, you gotta love DE for taking us out at least. This place rules!

I think that's all for now!

My NewEgg Woes continue

I don't have anything else going on so I am updating on my power supply fiasco. So I had to ship the wrong one to California instead of Tennessee where it came from. They are paying for GROUND shipping....that's right, GROUND. Its due to arrive sometime next Tuesday or Wednesday. And apparently they will not ship me my new one until that one arrives back. Now here is where it gets fun. I am getting conflicting stories from their reps now. The first lady told me as soon as they checked their inventory and verified that they messed up they would overnight me the correct part. Fine, whats a day or two. NOW, another lady has told me that they will just refund my money back and make me purchase it again. I'm sorry, what?...how am I supposed to get the sale price and the free overnight shipping I was promised if you just refund my money.

Needless to say I replied in a not so nice manner saying that no one knew what they were talking about and to forward it to a hopefully more competent supervisor. If I don't get my desired result after this I am going to call and believe me when I tell you they don't want me to call. It's going to be like when I yelled at a ComCast supervisor all over again. (A long and brutal story of the worst cable company on the face of the earth)

I have been in the customer service industry and I know what is good and bad service. This is bad service without a doubt. The second they got the UPS tracking number of my returned package they should have turned around and shipped my correct item. This is completely their mess up and I can't believe I am having to wait almost two weeks for them to resolve it.

I can sorta understand their policy, because they are trying to prevent scams on their items, but I listed the model number on the box for them, and what I ordered. I promptly shipped it back to them and I have tried to be nice. Enough is enough though. They will rue the day! RUE IT I TELL YOU!

The Bitch Post

I am just gonna whine a lot in this post...and yes I would like some crackers to go with it before you ask! :) So, as some of you know...well probably everyone that reads my blog....I have been ordering parts to build my new computer. Well, I finished ordering everything a couple days ago. So yesterday I get my power supply, but I open the box and whats this...that's not what I ordered. It has what I ordered on the invoice, but no, not in the box. So now I have to wait like 5 more days for them to straighten everything out and get me the right part. So this happened yesterday, then this morning my dog apparently went to the bathroom in the middle of the night on the carpet and I slept wrong on my neck...so its been a real crappy day.
/whine

Okay, done whining. On a good note I should be getting the rest of my computer parts today besides the power supply so I can pretty much build the whole thing, just can't turn it on. And because I am an uber geek I will post pics in my next blog with me building it. I know you are excited, I can feel it.

Oh, and let us all hope and pray that UGA gets crushed in their first football game. Gotta love college football starting again soon!

Da Oakleys

Got my glasses. So here are some pictures. I took a picture of the case, the inside of the case, and the glasses on me. Enjoy!

I'm Getting Glasses

I had nothing to post about today so you get to hear about how I am getting old and losing my vision. I went to the eye doctor Saturday and they said I could get the very lowest possible prescription glasses. So technically I don't really need them, but what the heck, insurance paid for most of it anyways. I have never owned glasses in my life so it should be interesting. And since I needed to be styling in my new glasses I got the Oakley brand. :p I will post pictures of me in my new glasses once I get them. Hopefully my vision will not get any worse anytime soon. My dad didn't really need stronger glasses till his mid 40s, so I hope that I get the same luck!

A Good Week

So this has turned out to be a good week. I got into the closed beta test for Warhammer online (sorry Chris) and the United States is kicking ass in the Olympics. Did you see the French lose. I laughed very hard at the trash talking SILVER medalists. :p

But the highlight of the week is clearly my Warhammer beta. I will talk about it more once the NDA lifts. I don't want to break the rules and get myself kicked out. Oh, I also saw Wall-E this weekend! It was amazing!!! I love Pixar. I rate Wall-E just below The Incredibles which is my favorite Pixar movie. Pixar really makes you love Wall-E which is incredible considering there is no dialogue for 3/4 of the movie. So if you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it.

The Batmobile AKA Tumbler

So some guy made his own Batmobile. He is now Chris and my self's official hero. Check out these pictures. Its absolutely amazing. Geek level +100. :)

Cool Picture

So I have this 1000 dollar Nikon Digital SLR that I rarely use. I mean what the heck is wrong with me? I still don't know why I bought such a thing, but whatever. I took a cool picture this weekend with it of the sky right at sunset and with a storm. It looks like the sky is on fire. So without further ado:




So I think its cool looking, but I don't necessarily think I take great photos. Other than that it was an uneventful and relaxing weekend. Oh and by the way....WAR is coming!!!! I can't wait for this game! :)

My Geek Post

So I am going to make this a super geeky post.

First of all, my computer has been delayed for a few weeks, but whatever. It's going to be the computer to defeat all other computers. Seriously, it will stomp them down and only use 1/3 of its power to do so.

Here comes the super geeky part. WAR is coming!!!!! That's right, Warhammer Online is finally almost done and the geek in me couldn't be happier. I have already decided I will be playing a Chaos Chosen. Its basically a heavily armored killing machine. It matches me perfectly...... :p Chris and a few of my other friends are going to be playing too, so it shall be good times!

Here is a pic of the character I am going to be playing.:


And to finish my geek post....WOOT!
