That shirt was sold out by 6:00 this morning. I was so upset, I wanted to buy it so bad.
Hopefully there will be reprints that I'll be able to catch in the future -- It'll be worth the extra 5 bucks.
I'm actually really pleased with all of the top shirts in this current derby.
It sold out, so it will be part of this next weeks reckoning, you'll be able to get it for $15
I'll be waiting starting midnight Sunday for the reckoning to buy that shirt. Only bad part is, we'll all match, but I don't see us going to any parties together any time soon.
Why not?
I think a Lucasforums party is a swell idea.
My bro got this... watching him play it, looks pretty bitchin'. He's in the dark tunnel, freaky...

Very bad thing: Work is overloading me with way too many hours. Way too many goals that I have to complete in too little time. New management. Superiors who never bothered me before are now breathing down my neck constantly. We're constantly swamped because of recent quittings and firings. My position needs to be filled 14 hours a day, 7 days a week. And now that the others who hold my position are so few, it's now divided to 3 or 4 people who all work part time. So we all get like 25+ hours and 7 hour days. So I'm gonna have to restate my schedule or leave cause the place has really gone to ****. Bad management, good guys are leaving. I'm the only one who's stayed after so many have left... and being treated like ****. So yeah, lotsa fun.

TiE, you are experiencing in retail what is known as "rock the boat". True, they can not make you stay, however, if you put up with this bull****, you will ascend to be among the elite of employees. Right now they are trying to separate the long term employees from those that are going to quit. I have gone through the same thing recently with many jobs. What the managers are doing is trying to see who is going to go, and who will stay. If you just deal with it, you will have gained the trust of your superiors if you have not already. All they want to know is who will go and who will stay. It's temporary, and I am blowing a management secret by telling you this, but your one of our regulars and you deserve to know. My advice is just put up with it for the time being, and a raise may or may not come in the near future. If you are working more hours, they value you big time, if your hours are being cut, they are hoping you will quit on your own merit. Just hang in there mang. Bad economy = usual tests. I think they like you. So just hold out for the BS, and it will subside.
If there was an election for Swamp President, I would vote for you Groovy.
It would be a fierce race between him and Rhett.

I WAS Swamp President for about a year or so. Remember leXX was my running mate?

That all sounds groovy but I'm not in this place for the "long term". You know that first job you get when you're sixteen? Well, I'm one step above that. And the next step up the ladder is something that I do not want to do- it's harder, annoying, and no pay raise. I can see how weeding out the crappy ones will be very relevant with smaller retail stores like Gamestop. But in a larger place like mine, it doesn't really matter. In a place where you have to work full time for like 15 years before even being considered for a really important position it's just all crap. I'm having to work with dumb 16 and 17 yearolds who work there for a few months and leave. I'm one of the most senior guys in my position... and with the high unemployment, we sure have a lot of open positions... at least I hope so. I have no idea if they're actually looking for more.

Figured about time I got around to playing it. Buggiest game ever though so far. At first I couldn't even get it to load. It would either come up with the spash screen and stall, or give me a black screen after the spash screen and freeze. Reinstalling did not fix it, and it still does it sometimes in compatibility mode and dx9 mode. I finally got it to run after it crashed during the part with all the company screens (2k, nvidia, etc), crashed when I changed the resolution, and when I tabbed out (this is all in the first menu or before). So I did not get very far, I started to listen to one of the diaries and went to hack something while I was still listening and it crashed. :/ Then I went to bed. :p Damn game better be worth all this trouble...
I got 1000 bucks for my birthday which I'm putting towards new skis.

Aside from the bugs, I thought the game was pretty damn good. The atmosphere and everything is well done. Probably one of my favourite 360 games.

Last two games I bought. So far, Gears 2 is ****ing good. The campaign on insane difficulty is a lot harder than the campaign in Gears 1 in insane difficulty IMO.

I guess I need to remind you that I HAVE worked for other businesses other than GameStop. Also, the bigger the business, the more boat rocking you will endure, trust me. Being a boss is universal no matter what operation you are in. Nobody is making you stay, I just thought you might want to know WHY you are going through this.:giveup:
I remember that! lol
And your still a lot better looking than Palin! :smirk2:

Don't worry, I've been getting plenty of advice from my dad the last couple days. He used to manage restaurants from like 85' to 94'. Then he went into tech and blah blah. So he knows a lot about this. "I had to know which employees wanted to work as many hours as possible because they needed the money. I also knew which guys didn't need the money and didn't need the hours." :V
I reiterated my schedule availability last night. Luckily the one assistant manager that I knew before he became "big" was there and I was able to talk with him about it. I just gotta make sure I know the new manager understands that I want these changes because he warned me that the new manager may just ignore my requests and act like she never saw them. So it'll be a lot of fun telling Ms. Hard-ass that I want her to actually look at my note.

What most of you people dont know, is that i actually do a lot of writing in my free time, and one thing i like to do is write just random crap about things that catch my interest and add a dath mentality to it, so a few of my friends finally persuaded me to devote a blog to show off that kinda stuff, so i created one, its called "Weekly Crap" and i'm gonna try to post somehting new every weekend, possibly one or two during the week if i feel extra inspired, but heres the link

So pretty much, you take perfectly upstanding, socially responsible pieces of written work and turn them into serial rapists?

Consider me a weekly reader then. Just don't slack off or anything...
There is a reason censorship exists, Dath. Its there to keep people like you from sharing your opinions which, if your past actions have suggested anything, are similar to posting a picture of a baby being kicked in the face.

As is Harrison Ford.

I guess. If posts have been deleted grooves should edit out his text and just leave his picture there. Or change it to a completely unrelated picture and then Wally will just seem out of his mind.
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here\m/ Wish You Were Here is my favorite Pink Floyd album, and the title track is one of my favorite songs.
Yeah, seriously.
Stephen King rocks my socks.
But Roger Waters never really did it for me.

Quite possibly my favorite band. The money from this demo-collection goes straight towards funding their upcoming album, which makes it even better to own. :)

I've been listening to Gobbledigook nonstop for the last few days. It's been awesome.
