Nuetral

Being a supervisor and having a crew of people that are under my wing is nice and always has its perks, but there are times where it sucks due to having to be"Nuetral" like the Swiss.  There are always things I want to say but I cant let them out due to being rude, mean or affending someone with the bitter truth and having them take me to HR for something so stupid as them making fun of someone and me sticking up for said person why they are not around.  A lot of times you get the older sibling line that I used to get from my mother, "You should be setting a better example for other people."  God I hate that line, but it is what comes with the territory and it is just part of the job, I have come to terms with it even if my tongue is bleeding half the time I am here at work.

I had soccer today, it was fun and I ran a lot more then I did the last time all of us got together, hell I even scored a goal which was pretty nifty.  But, I let three goals happen when I was playing goalie which in turned pissed me off a lot, thats my only job and I let THREE thru, ugh.  League should be starting either next Monday or the first week of December depending on if the captins can get together and due their little draft.  I'm hoping that my friend Jose who happenes to be a captin puts me on his team because after my performance tonight I dont think that I will be picked up by anyone else, oh and no one really knows who I am so that helps me out a little bit as well.

It's my Friday tonight which means that my weekend is nigh, it's going to be good getting a full two days off tonight rather then one.  Look at me complaining even though my one day off last week was my choice that way I could get an owed day off, silly me.  I see a lot of Skyrim in my weekend, but we will see what my little bosses have planned for me.  Until next time.

11 Hours to go

So The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has already been released, for those of you who are lucky enough to have gotten it at 12am, I give you a hearty FUCK YOU!!!!!  I'm only saying this because I wish I could have been there at 12am to receive my copy as well.  Oh well, I will continue to drink my hatorade.  Luckily I will be getting my copy tomorrow some time after I get off at work, get the family ready and then drive us all down to Modesto to pick it and then go to Victoria's Secret so that the wife can get herself something nice.  So to be realistic, I will most likely not being playing it until 8am Saturday morning due to having to sleep when we get home today after getting the game around 2pm.  But when I am finally able to play you bet your ass I am going to play a good 2 hours straight(that is a long time for a parent).

So I had an interesting conversation with one of my co-workers tonight.  She was complaining about her Boyfriend taking time off to play Skyrim, I think she said he took two days.  Then she tells us how she is taking time off to go and see the midnight showing of the new Twilight movie when it comes out.  I said that that is pretty much the same thing except for her boyfriend taking two days off instead of one and then told her that if her boyfriend had only took one day off then wouldn't that be the same thing?  She insisted that it is not due to a movie only being for 2 hours and that you can play a game longer and you don't have to play it that night.  Then I asked her, "Cant you just see a movie on another day?"  But yet she still continued to tell me that they are not the same thing.  I personally think that they are, one person is taking the night off to watch the midnight showing of a movie, the other is taking the night off to get his/her copy of a game at midnight so that they can play it.  Each person is taking a night off for their "event", seems like the same thing to me, video games and movies are both sources of entertainment and some would argue that they are in a way the same thing except for one you have more interaction in the world you are seeing.

Just out of curiosity what do my readers think about this, let me know in a comment below this post, I'm interested in hearing other people's perspective on this topic.

Until next time, later.
