The weather was shitty on monday, so I called up the post office and got an estimate on shipping costs. I'll send stuff next week.

On a plus note, Polk, your gifts arrived today.

On a minus note, the glass part of that shot glass from Vegas didn't survive the journey. It may have met it's end at the journey's end. My room mate said he heard a thump before going out for a smoke, and found the package on the ground in front've my door.

Sorry about that. I thought the paper they were wrapped in would have prevented that. There were two shot glasses in there.

Also the TMBG video is from me, the other video is one Luke sent me and I had no way to watch it.

I scanned through and saw the Sin City sequel is on and The Imitation Game. I've seen the Imitation Game second and thought it was really good.

Thank you, I will check that out. Surely there will be one or 2 movies on this weekend worth watching or recording.

LOL. No.

I have no idea what's going to happen. Master's Degree is required for any position like this. And our location also requires farm management background, property management, etc. I can't imagine anyone working here that's qualified-those that are are PhD's and they would be taking a pay cut. It's gonna have to be someone willing to relocate to our tiny little town.

I watched Colony last night. I wasn't wowed but I'll give it chance. Not a lot of background on how they found themselves in the colony yet.

The background so far. There was an invasion (possibly alien) and LA was closed off with giant walls. The occupation force are human, and referred to as conspirators. Sawyer from Lost, is an ex Ranger and FBI agent who went into hiding at the invasion, because all the military types were rounded up, at the start.
He is picked up and exposed, but rather than haul him off they offer him a job, hunting down the resistance. Lori from Walking Dead plays his wife.

I hope it picks up the pace. I like the guy that played on Lost, and he hasn't showed up in much since then.

I like what they did with the music. It also could be a glimpse at Gallen's life.

I'd just like to say that the Gallen bashing here is truly disgusting. As such, I am completely in favor of it and want to see more.

Carry on.

Yes. Yes it is. Don't look at her too much though.

She has "heart taker" eyes.

For example-- Customers who are leasing phones *might* be eligible to trade those phones in and upgrade. Since CPMCI owns the phones we have to get an approval and ship those phones back to CPMCI.

All through December I have having a weekly fight with the woman who is in charge of submitting the information for these shipments. I would submit 6 devices that needed to be shipped. She'd send me an approval for 3 of them. "The others require manual approval..." Some of these phones sat in my locked drawer for a month or longer.

Now is January and the same woman sends an email "Your store has un-shipped giveback phones. Please send them NOW or risk being charged for them..."

Dammit. It's you who didn't do your job. Now you're threatening me as if it was my fault.

Cut her brake lines.

I think you've landed on a great board game premise. You draw a card and put in play and it's something like "Is a rude customer at the bagel shop". Whoever you play it against now has to try and cut your brake line without being noticed. If they succeed, they have to play a dick move card, and the person they play it against tries to cut their brake line. You have to answer trivia question to earn "check your brake line" cards, otherwise you're driving without knowing the danger. Dice rolls determine if you live or not. The last person with uncut brake lines , or the last person alive wins the game.

I would play this game. Wait...I already do.

Well if Supes takes this new career path she would need a model.
