Felt kinda chatty but not overly wordy so I figured I'd throw things up here and call it a bit of a life update I guess.
Not gonna go into the IMVU stuff more than pointing to this journal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1lR6nYiJCw which mirrors my concerns, but like I've said before, I'm still waiting to see what happens. Though on the plus side of it all, I did just read a journal by a better known artist here about how in 12 hours they got someone banned from IMVU for art theft, so thats kinda cool. Almost like we're policing for them which, take that how you want I guess.
For me, nothing new on the surface really. I work, I sleep, I help watch kids. Can't game so much now cause my monolith PS3 finally gave the yellow light so I've been learning how much of a giant pain in the ass it is to get your data back when that happens, while keeping my eyes out for a good deal on one that isn't a super slim one, cause I just don't like what I see in them. I've been putting my steam account to use in the meantime which is fun I admit, but I need a better computer to really get into anything really big. Hopefully that'll be fixed sometime this spring/summer along with the PS3. And no I don't want a PS4. Not yet anyway. Not enough stuff on it to justify the cost for me personally.
On the subject of work, it pisses me off still. For like a year now our department hasn't had ANYONE in it during the day so us overnight guys have to take care of all that plus our usual work load while upper management is either too lazy or too stupid (or both) to address the problem. They rather just save the money and bitch at us for not getting 24 hours of shit done in 8. It's driven our overnight manager to looking into stepping up to an assistant position though which is both good and bad. Its good for him cause it means more money and all that good stuff, but bad for us cause he's a beast of a worker. And its also good and bad for me personally cause for some reason all eyes are on me to take the overnight manager spot. Means I'll be getting full time, raise, benefits, and I'm guessing more vacation time, but at the same time a lot more people bitching at me which is really bad cause unless its something that I legitimately fucked up, I will bitch back and you will feel like less of a person when I'm done. Plus there's a lot I still have to learn since the place kinda has a learn by forcing them to do it approach. So yeah, mixed feelings about that development, but I like money and am a bit of a masochist so I'll probably take it if it all comes together.
A pretty sweet thing that also fell in my lap though is I'll be going to my first real concert in April. And who better to lose my cherry to than Nightwish and Sabaton? And some other band that I don't know named Delain, but I know the other two wont disappoint especially now since Nightwish has a lead singer who can actually perform live as well as she does in a studio. Gonna be going with my boss, cause unlike a lot of people my boss is cool, and we're gonna meet a couple friends there. What's awesome about this as well is the timing of it. Show's gonna be on a thursday which might suck for some, but my boss needs to have Thursdays off cause of his wife's schedule and on a typical work week, I get Thursdays off too (though I did request it off just to be sure). I'm sure there will be a journal here about it after I'm home, so long as the place is still standing by then.
And I'll close this all with saying hey, it's my birthday in about a week and a half, someone surprise me for a change yeah? I've actually been really depressed lately so I challenge you all.

Though I do like booze, and fun things happen when I have it.
(angelic chorus) 0-0....Go forth and rock, dammit \m/, T-T .\m/

Yeah... I did have a couple jobs where my boss was actually awesome, so I get that angle ^^ Makes the whole thing pretty epic, actually ^^.
Also, damn Bureaucrats and their 'too-lazy-to-piss-so-here-go-do-this; I-don't-care-that-you-don't-know-how" line of reasoning >.> The kind of folks that get a little too 'fire happy' without reason; just because they feel slighted >.> but can't be arsed to deal with the actual job >.>
Sucks about the PS3... I still never got around to get one (never had the funds >.<) Was gonna be given one... but I dunno what happened there >.>
I dunno how to surprise ya... Gotta big fat stack of like three pennies to my name... I could suddenly flop around and make a scene, or something, I dunno X3
And I'd start asking questions why you never got that PS3. In my opinion they're still very worth it. I've had one for a long time and still have a huge backlog to finish up on it.
I might ask again; but it's all good; the guy's a total bro, yo ^^
(and I dunno if you found the 'surprise' in that last post X3)
