Be warned /rantmode on. Yes I feel the need to rant a bit, mostly over work stuff. Don't worry it will be short.
Its just work mostly... then Dave's computer and the constant interruptions from my grandparents, which I don't mind as much because they really do need the help and I love them dearly... But MY GOD~! When will *** (work doesn't want me saying their name D:) go and give me a new position AFTER giving me the training and resources I need? This has happened multiple times, I was given condensed training where much of what was going on didn't even apply to what I was going to be doing on the game I support. Then I go to replace our code specialist whom I got absolutely no training from and was not prepared AT ALL when I took his place. We didn't even have anyone who could use the database effectively, which was part of that individual's main job. On top of DB stuff I knew nothing on how to run reports and how to write up new test plans for content. Luckily, (and apparently) I am a quick learner and an individual capable of taking on new tasks that i don't have much or any prior knowledge of (I know that sounds very arrogant, I don't mean it that way). i managed to figure everything out half way through the period the specialist was out, and was getting stuff done somewhat efficiently. I come to find out later that they were so impressed with my work, they didn't even know the prior specialist had left.
Then they said that I'd become primary support for Web and Tech, ontop of being primary support for Code. This was all good and great... until the testing for the web stuff got delayed... and delayed again, and then we got sent home for offsite testing. Well there went my training... again. Now i'm left in the same position, with completely different content that I have to learn on the fly. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~! *a-splodes*
And then there's Dave's Dell computer... seriously, screw that thing. Would not take the friggen network drivers after a reformat. I am done trying to fix and re-fix that thing. Get a new one before I take a hammer to the thing!
*huffs* well I think that's about it for the time being... DEFINATELY looking forward to RF in a few days and being with
Xylex 
Freyskol and 
darkvyce . <3<3<3

Wow, sounds like a lot of things are happening at your job! It's been similar for me about doing things I've never done before with my new job and I kind of enjoy that... Challenges and new learnings! Also, I wish you a great convention at RainFurest! I gotta attend one fot hose West Cost convention someday!
