Goodbye Rat-Hole Job

To make a long story short, I quit my job. I hated working there and I'm glad I got out. It was beautiful. I had a two-week notice all typed out and as the guy was chewing me out for being unreliable (it's very hard for me to BE reliable when I despise the place so much; at my previous job I went to the office even when I was sick cause I loved it :p), he goes, "So you have two choices, you can ship up or there's the door." And I handed him the two-week notice and said "Ok then!" XD I'm FREEEEEEE. No more picking up old, crusty pepperoni off the floor!We've been house and cat sitting lately, hence my absence. This week we've been over at my sister's. Over the course of our stay, Melanie continued to show her gender preferences. That is, she seemed to only come out when it was just me. Not five minutes ago, she was sitting in my lap, which is a first for this trip, but it always took her a little while to warm back up to me. She's very skittish. Mouse, on the other hand, doesn't too much care about who you are as long as when he flops his massive girth over, he gets a belly rub. They're cute kitties. <3This next week we'll be over at the in-laws. I don't really want to be mean about it, but this house is very dusty, and our sinuses have been killing us over it. Not to mention the 'fridge and pantry were mostly bare. When we change houses, I've been assured that not only was the 'fridge totally restocked, but apparently there's some suprises waiting. :D Plus the house has always been very clean whenever I go so that's a bonus just in sleep-ease. Expect to see me around more often now that I'm between jobs. ;p

"Metaverse" Article featuring World of Warcraft

Well, someone was bound to write about it sometime. Link.It's an amusing read too. Very creepy, indeed. The artwork that accompanies the sections definitely gets the point across too, and I can't help but snicker at a dragon picking up some food and a nazi at a store. I'm suprised they didn't use EverQuest for this article as the main focus but in another sense I'm not. While EverQuest probably holds more subscribers and has for a longer period of time, WoW is the current new thing and it's expanding exponentially. Considering the topic, they could have very well used Furcadia, Matrix Online, or even Anarchy Online. But they didn't, and so now I get to be amused by the drawing of a female human mage at a boardroom meeting and analogies of items and concepts that aren't foreign to me.So, let me get this one straight here. If I was making an Awesome Me, and had the ability to choose a perfectly lean, sexy human or elf, (nevermind the fact that my first character was such an elf) but instead now have a decaying, undead shadow-specialized priest (which I enjoy more than said previous elf), what does that say about me? Teehee.Well, it's funny anyway. Go look!"Wouldn't those long Calculus lectures have been easier to sit through if, every time you learned something important, gold light shot out from your body?"Hell yes.Even more amusement:Check this out.Oh, this one too.
