A Descent into Dullness

Who wants to go into work for me for the next two days? I'll sleep, you work and I'll give you a pair of shiny nickels? Sounds good right? Right?

C'mon, I wanna go back to bed!

Two more nights to go...

I thought about trying to do something productive. But then I remembered that I left work only up to June 2006 in the archives for Unshelved...

I wish my job let me be sarcastic to customers. And let me be lazy and avoid working. Stupid fiction, raising my expectations to unachievable levels...

1) The most popular New Year's resolution was to: Crush those who wronged me beneath my iron boot-heels.

2) The fightingest POTUS and expected champion of the Rumble in the Oval would be Teddy "The Bear" Roosevelt.

3) Say "nevermore" once more. Just once more...



4) The Next Big Thing: Either Cryptids in grade school or Vampire High School Musicals.

5) Not surprisingly Alfred is still the #1 choice in buterlin'.

6) The most popular choice in radioactive animal-bite themed character is Dr. Hedgehog. Do hedgehog's even have teeth?

7) If choosing a job based on television shows, the most popular choice is a maverick wise-cracking police consultant.

8) So its either The Secret Six/Scrooge McDuck or The Authority/Sonic the Hedgehog? Fuckin' furries...

9) Also, Sesame Street gets invaded by zombies? What is wrong with some of you? Don't answer that!

10) But in an affirmation of taste the majority wants to see Edward Cullen beaten down by groups of other vampires from fiction...

Why am I having to go into work like a chump? Surely I deserve to live a life indolence? After all I've done to earn it shouldn't I be getting paid to go back to sleep?

You know whats best? Getting sick the very last night of your vacation...

Between work and family expect light posting to continue for the rest of the week...

I'm remembering again why I never do anything on the weekends when I'm working at the Scottsdale job. Its not just the 11-7 shifts on T/F/S. Its that I'm awake for a couple hours in the morning when I get home. Wake up for a few hours in the afternoon and then pretty much fall back asleep until its time to get ready for work...

I had intended to get up at 7pm so I could at least stop by a surprise party for the friend who owns my comics shop, but I just could not get the energy to get back up again until 9:30...

So the Scottsdale hotel asked me back to the same shifts as before. So this will likely be the last free weekend for a while. Got to play two of my games that I'd been wanting to try again, Betrayal at the House on the Hill (which we won, even if I was a frog) and Vegas Showdown (which the ex-roommate surged ahead at the end to beat me at). Also got to play the updated version of Formula De, Formula D (which I lost very, very badly). And while I lost at Acquire I did much better than I normally do at that kind of game...
