No Chill
General | Posted 10 years agoMy hair has NO chill... If it is not braided after it is conditioned, it FREAKS OUT and gets all frizzy...
And if I unbraid it, it has to be before a shower or it FREAKS out and gets knotted in itself.
Seriously, I just wanna be able to let it down without it flipping out on me...
Also! I am playing Wildstar. My main is Dominion, and the name is Locke Candrum

Anyone play Starbound?
General | Posted 10 years agoI am in desperate need of assistance... I have no tech, and am decked out in steel armor, at the mining are to get the Erchius crystal, but I can't, for the life of me, beat the boss.
The guides I have seen suggest certain tech, like the energy dash(?), but I am TOTALLY clueless as to where to get any.
Might anyone have any suggestions to help me survive better? Side note: I go through heal items like a mo-fo. >.>

I am evil
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, today was fun at work.
Summarized: we were overstaffed, and my cubicle was taken. I knew the person, so we were cool, and I moved to another that said that "Toni" sat there. Feh, first come, first served. So I sat.
She came in around 2:30 and got in my face while I was on a call (Hey! Hey! Hey hey! Hey! Hey!), telling me to move. So I muted the customer to deal with the confrontation, and after she told me that I WAS going to move, I politely told her "no" and to go elsewhere. So, in response, she said she was going to get her supervisor, so I waved her away and went back to business.
Supervisor comes and says "Hey! You've gotta move, because she needs that computer for medical reasons.", but the computer is LITERALLY the same as every other, so... I speak to MY supervisor and explain the situation. Well, Supervisor A said I was to move BEFORE going to my next break, and MY supervisor spoke to the higher ups who said "go to lunch, then move."
So... I had to move. But that's not the best part.
I went to lunch (30 minutes), then came back LATE, intentionally. Gathered my things, took the phone cord and logged in VIA the phone at HER desk. The guy behind me was seated in "HER" chair so, this made an issue for her.
A) The computer won't let her log in because I am using the phone to say "Hey! I'm here but not available)
B) She has to get her chair from the other guy.
C) I took my cord, so she had to hunt for another
So, I booted up my computer, making sure to take my sweeeeeeeeet time... And my program fails. Need to restart.
Nearly an hour of waiting, THEN I went over to sign out of her phone to take calls, and she was there, freaking out because it was taking time for her to get in to take calls. No calls, no incentive, less pay.
Now... Tell me to move from my seat again.. It's another hour of nothing for you! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

RP Don'ts
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, I like to RP... A LOT, but I kiiiiinda tend to judge by profile. If there is something there, GREAT! If there's an actual description: BETTER. But what often turns me away from potential partners is when I see something like: "Just a wolf looking for fun". Like... What color is he? What does he like? What does he look like? How can I get interested in that?
Note: It's not that I automatically think that they are bad at it. It's that I don't know, and I don't wanna approach someone showing interest, then turn and "Nah... Not interested". I also get the idea that if they don't put any effort into their profile, then no effort is gonna go into the RP.
There's also the general message I get. "Wolf looking to have a good time with his big cock", to me, translates to "I only want sexual RP, and nothing else". And that is not at all what I am into.

Spiffy Art Ideas
General | Posted 10 years agoSo I was thinking: Sometimes I have trouble thinking of what I want for a commission... A lot of the time, I do.
So, I just got an idea. Musical commissions.
Not what you are thinking, I am sure. Instead of sending a ref, then saying "This is what I want", how about sending a ref and a song, then say "Draw what this makes you feel", because... I did it once in the past, and it turned out GREAT, because it kinda levels things. You get the commission (Unless it is for sex, then... Yeah. Sex), and the artist isn't under pressure to draw "JUST so", but rather, how they please, based on the song.
Random thought, just because.
And I think this is how I will plan my next commission. :3
Well... One of them cause I have a LOT of plans going on in my head...

General | Posted 10 years agoSo many new watches...
WHAT DO YOU WANT!? WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME!?
I DON'T DO ANYTHING!
Do you want my pants?
My shoes?
Are you here to kill me?
Oh my god... Are you me from the future?
Am I on drugs?
I taste dead people... And they taste pink....Like a lemon.
And this is why you don't leave me alone with the internet in the middle of the night.

Average day at work
General | Posted 10 years ago"The escape channel is gone!? WHERE DID IT GO!? OMG IM SOOPER PISSED"
The Escape channel is not gone. The channel lineup merely changed, and it is now only online.
"You didn't tell me that it changed, so I'm gonna sue you! Let me talk to the owner of the company!"
I... Guess you can try to sue, and the owner is somewhere not here.. And I can't transfer you there... And I don't have a direct number...
"Give me this special again, or I'm gonna cancel!"
That's not my department, so... Bye. I'm transferring you.
"I just bought this car, and it cost $150k... I can't afford $17.07 per month!"
You're... Kidding, right? Well, that's what we've got. Sorry.
"Are you insurance?"
No.
"Will you be?"
No..?
"When will you be?"
Are you listening?
"I need to talk to Mister... Larry. We talked about ten minutes ago."
I can't transfer you to another agent. Can I help? If not, please hang up.
These are just a few examples, so with that in mind, I'll say this:
I know you don't know everything about how a company works, and I won't say exactly where I work, but I think I may have already, so...
With that in mind, how about you ask some questions about SiriusXM, if you have any? If it is within reason, I'll answer, cause.. Let's just say I know a lot about the place. :3

Funshine and sparkles!
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, I am sure that I have said I hate my job, so allow me to say again: I hate my job.
With that out of the way, let's get started on this past week! :D
So! Tuesday, I got to go to the podiatrist roughly halfway through my shift, then got written out for Wednesday as well because I had my big toenail removed on either side, and the nail bed killed. Then spent Wednesday evening, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning with
foxfurries and had a blast there. Returned Saturday afternoon, work on Sunday. That was not a good day, and I left sick. Now is the fun work part.
MY supervisor is out due to oral surgery, so the only supervisors on my shift are the bitchy ones... When I left sick, I was told that I could not go until I put in makeup time. So... I entered makeup time as requested, and left. Come to find out, that day was no good, as the vehicle would not be available, so I requested to switch from day off A to day off B. Day off A arrives (being yesterday), and I get this feeling that they did not change my schedule. So, I call in to let them know: "Hey! I'm not gonna be able to make it, but <Supervisor> was supposed to switch my time."
Enter today, and... She didn't. And they marked me as a "No call, no show."
So, what does this mean?
My work place goes by a point system. Calling in for a day, unexcused is a point.
Leaving early is a half point, if you leave after you are halfway through your shift. Otherwise it is a full point.
No call, no show... Two points, and a possible Corrective Action, depending.
Levels of points:
6 - They essentially say not to do it again.
8 - Verbal corrective action. They say "don't do it again", only in a meaner way.
10 - Written corrective action. They say "Don't do it again" on paper!
12-14+ Possible termination, but let's face it, it's like hell, so it is the end of a long wait on death row.
I am at 6. That No call no show that they are trying to slip in... Takes me to 8.
Guess who gets to rub phone logs in the face of the higher ups? This guy!
Work crap aside, I got Etrian Odyssey Untold 2, cause.. Yes.
Also due for Skylanders Super Chargers next month. Gotta get Donkey Kong for
demondragon, and Bowser for myself... Though mine may wait. I dunno yet. But... Bowser in Skylanders... It's like Nintendo listens!
(Note: Every time I call Nintendo and they ask for feedback, I tell them "MORE BOWSER!"
So... Yes... Happiness, funshine and sparkles!

Good Feels
General | Posted 10 years agoIt is a good feeling when you approach the creator of a character/world with an idea and they actually like it.
You will see what I mean later. :D

Naming Assistance
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, I have this guy here: http://i.imgur.com/WS0taR7.png whose present name is Talon.
I am kinda on the fence about it. On one hand, I like the name, an it is the one that was given. On the other, I want to name him something else, as I was not the one who named him. So...For the next 2-3 hours, I'll be taking suggestions. Just say if you think it should stay, or offer ideas. Should I pick yours, I'll... Do something. I dunno. x.x

My work desk
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, I have come to find that people actually like my work desk. Seriously. And I... BWUH?
It is confusing to me, because other people have family photos, they crochet, or draw, or... SOMETHING.
I made the art in my cubicle out of gum wrappers. Seriously! I chew 5 gum, then I take the wrapper, fold in into a right triangle and make art with it.
This started because I distrust people. I know if I bring in a picture, they'll ruin it with holes, cause someone always does, so I made art out of TRASH! MULTICOLORED TRASH FOLDED INTO RIGHT TRIANGLES...
And apparently it is the most interesting... I just.. I don't know...
I made three trees, some grass, two foxes, and butterflies.. And a strange swirly design, but... It's TRASH! How... I... I don't get it.
But at least my trash makes my cubicle look cool.

Five words
General | Posted 10 years agoSassy beefy Charizard.
Draw it.
Draw it.
I hate my body...
General | Posted 10 years agoSo... Some positives, and some negative. Let's start!
Had a visitor for about a week, and it was pretty fun when the kids that live here were not being little brats, and when I was not worrying about being too boring. Still thinking that I left some sort of negative impression, but hoping otherwise.
I got health insurance from my work, FINALLY, and I have been told thta I may be getting screwed, but I am hoping that is not the case, but still... Something is better than nothing, and I plan on having some foot work done, cause.. Yay returning infected nails!
My birthday was decent. Better than the heap of nothing I expected, so... Yay. And...
Downside: My health has been crap. I'm not sleeping well at night, wake up at the ass crack of dawn, and always feel congested and overall cruddy.
Was sick at work yesterday, but couldn't leave, or rather, WOULDN'T. I sold a LOT of radios. At LEAST 23, and each of those is +$2 to my paycheck, I want that, and if I get in trouble for missing, I lose it, so... No.
Work has me stressed, because I am terrified that they are going to try to fire me, and I couldn't possibly manage after that, because I am the only one paying my mother's storage, where the majority of my belongings are. Cap and gown, graduation photos, books, etc... If I have no money to pay, it all goes, so that's a stress factor, then at home, kids are brats, short and simple. That adds stress, and blah...
I honestly think that the stress is what is making me sick at this point. And the worst part about it is that I am ALWAYS tired. But my body determines when I sleep, and though I feel as though I could pas out at this very moment... It's not gonna happen.
TLDR:
Positive note: Fun visitor, health insurance, birthday
Negative: Health is poo, sick at work, stressed about work and home, stressed about storage that I pay. Sleeping like crap, and being whiny.

Birthday
General | Posted 10 years agoMine is in six days. I want a pony.
Whaaaaaaat!?
General | Posted 10 years agoSo... I am surprised...
So, APPARENTLY there are people who are fans of mine. I have FANS!? Whaaaat?
I post things, and my first thought is that few people are really paying attention, so it'll get some faves and stuff, but that's it, cause I'm not popular. But then, I talk to a few people and they tell me that they're honored that I approached/talk to them. Some tell me that they're fans of mine.
And I'm over here, like... "Me? Like... ME, me? Do you know who I am? I mean... I'm not an artist, so the art here is not mine if that's the case. Are you sure you mean to talk to ME?"
And they DO! Like... People; POPULAR people want to talk to me. As I explained to someone quite recently: "I've got the strange mentality that artists/"popufurs" are like unicorns that I am unworthy of even being in the same ROOM. So I'm always mentally freaking out, thinking that when I message someone they'll be snooty and such. Something along the lines of "Why do you think you can talk to me?"
So, when I message someone, and they're happy to talk to ME, it's like..
Mind = Blown

Hatred rant deal
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, this was ORIGINALLY a long post about my job, but I figured I'd condense it. So...
I hate my job. Not my CAREER. A career is something that you enjoy doing. That doesn't feel like pulling teeth and rinsing with salted lemon juice. A JOB is something that you do to get money, just to keep from being broke.
My current place o employment is a JOB.
So, a quick rundown of what I do: I talk to people on the phone (inbound, so customers call ME), and set up a certain service, with a brand name that I will not mention, just because. Some know where I work, others may not.
So... Sitting, answering phones, and reading a script. Sounds easy. But it's not. Customers make it hard. So.. Here's the gist of things.
1) You must do your best to talk to the customer for LESS than 500 seconds.
2) No more than 60 seconds between calls
3) Professional. Meaning: You cannot be rude to the customer, or use what can be CONSIDERED rude behavior.
4) You can't even use the customer's name. Ir's Mr/Mrs Soandso, or Sir/Ma'am.
OTHER things to keep in mind:
1) No pens/pencils
2) No paper
3) No books
4) No electronic devices
5) No pictures on clothing, except for on weekends.
Now: With the first set of rules in mind, note that I am VERY knowledgeable about the product I sell. So, you ask a question, I know it. We are not allowed to hang up on customers unless said customer is using foul language, and has been warned at LEAST twice. Why do I mention this?
Because I am on what the company calls an ICU. They are listening to my calls more often, and having people sit and listen to my calls to see what I am doing wrong, but my supervisor AND a supervisor in training have both told me that I am doing everything correct. Occasionally I give a bit TOO much information, but otherwise, it's spot on. Why is this an issue?
Because an ICU is a three week program to correct such an "error", and failure to do so results in a coaching (they say "Hey! You messed up"), then a verbal corrective action, a write-up, and in the long run, it can lead to termination.
The man who informed me of this was blunt about it, so I asked a simple question.
"So, you're saying that even if I am doing everything by the book, and the CUSTOMER runs up my handle time by asking questions that I am REQUIRED to answer, because my handle time is too high, I can be fired for something that is beyond my control?"
The answer was "Yeah. Pretty much!"
Now, this is not the only thing that upsets many at my work place. There's also the incentive, or rather, lack thereof. We get +2 per radio added to our check for the month, provided we sell four or more. In addition, we get a maximum of $.75 added per sale, assuming that it is graded at a high ninety to a one hundred percent from quality. So, you say "That's not a lot", but if it puts it into perspective, I got about $300 added to one of my more recent checks and that was not even all of it!
But incentive is REALLY easy to lose.
1) Handle time is too high (%20)
2) Corrective action/Written up (%45 (I think))
3) Schedule adherence (Being on time to and from break/lunch, as well as not missing days) (%50
4) GCR (or was it ECR?) (Essentially how many ales opportunities you have and successfully make a sale on) (%25)
Note: This is not of the total, but overall reductions. (Example: $400 - %50 = $200. 200 - %25 = $150, etc.)
At least I THINK that is how it works... It's never really explained in detail, so honestly, I don't completely understand it myself.
But essentially: the job I do is full of punishment for things beyond personal control. It's what I like to call an NPC job, where you say the same thing to different people for eight hours straight...
That aside, part of my issue is mandatory overtime. Granted: the pay is good, but working either 11+ hour shifts for multiple days is mentally exhausting. But... It's a job for now... I hate it, but... Have to deal with it.
Fun fact:
Doctors say that this job is literally killing me. The stress that comes with it is what is making me sick so often...
