Well, my game depends on Pittsburgh beating the 49ers. So yeah, I'd say I lost. But at least I can take pride in getting the tiebreaker right. OH MY GOD~! You mean I'm challenging for the top spot~! WOOO~! PLAYOFF BOUND HERE I COME~!

Well, I shall see how much holds true for me so far as I woke up late to watch most of the morning games. Considering there are 7 games, tiebreaker becomes mute in point. BUF/HOU - Houston suprises me an beats Buffalo 12-10. 1-0 for Saints. CAR/WAS - Carolina does the job I knew it would, 20-17. Tied at 1-1. CLE/AZ - Wow. Blowout by Cleveland 44-6. 2-1 for Falcons. SD/DEN - Considering Denver's up 10-0 in 2nd, so I lose point for now. Tied at 2-2 IND/NYJ - Indy's up 10-7 in the 2nd, so I get point for now. Falcons up 3-2. GB/TB - Green Bay's up 10-0 in the 2nd, so I get another point for now. Falcons up 4-2. NE/DAL - Game's pending at 8:30pm. So no decision. As long as those two games hold true for me, I won't need to worry about NE/DAL as I'll have more points total. Wee... 6-4. Hopefully fazzle losses this week so I'm in a position to challenge for the division title. Unlike my poor counterparts.

Well. I'm probably going to end up in last place. ...fun.

You know, you gotta calm down. Fuck, I was just trying to make a joke out of it, because someone said they hadn't heard of them. Excuse me if it came off wrong and sounded like I meant it, sheesh.

Meh... I will. Just need to work at it. IF not oh well. I'm not going to bitch with having $16/h thrown my way. Still though Dames. I say you should've taken your job and wait for something else to come by. $11/h better than $0/h.

No actually it doesn't. My dad has a degree from a college that everyone is supposed to get a job with from it. Guess what, my dad doesn't have a job from that degree. He has a job because he was contracted to Telus to work for them, and was eventually brought on staff. Hopefully, I will be on their staff too. I work enough hours in general, and I become promoted to full-time status (with benefits) whether they want me full-time or not. Besides.... I've never made 2k a month before... And I don't really have any expenditures, so that's like... A lot of money... I can spend... I'm liking it.

Unless you send me a gift for my b-day, ain't no way I sending you one Zack. Only fair. Cause I mean, my b-day is an important day too. ...well, to me at least. ...should I get pity for actually knowing which band Bob's speaking of?

Heh... Dames got a job offer for $11/h, and here I'm supposed to be getting one for $16/h. And he's the one with the high school diploma and college degree (I think). ...hehehe, I find humor in this.

I can and have. Not first time it's happened, but not as bad as that though. I would've just walked away but I'm the only one who, at the time, could get that done and over with. But it's over, it's done with, and I'm good now.

This little chapter of life is called: Can't ever win. ----------- As you all know (or most anyways, maybe few), I work for McDonald's. Yah, crappy job, but recently, I just got my scheduling to be bumped to night shift and pay increased by $1.10 (not that big in reality though, brought me to just $7). Anyways about 11:30pm roles around (on Thursday), and I dealt with this couple of middle-aged females whom were in their car. I had taken their order when I noticed that there were two vechicles ahead of them. So I go see if I can have the two people who are ahead of them to go around. I apologize to the two females and tell them, I'll see if I can speed this up any. First guy at the front booth wouldn't budge because of the huge lineup. I understood his point and told him I would take his order. I then head back and tell those females that I apologize, but I need to take that guy's order because he wasn't budging. I also assumed the guy next would be the same (as the drive-thru was pretty packed [we are a popular place for late night snacks]) and told them the same. So I tell them that it'll be bit, because I can't get the first guy to leave at all. So I take that guy's order, then take the next guy's order and I ask him to go around and he's like "you want me to go around to the end there because of YOUR mistake? There was a sign on the window that said 'next window'" I told him, that I would appreciate it if he would go around, and by now the lineup is bigger than before so he flat out told me no. As for that sign there wasn't one, but I checked to make sure while I had to wait for his order as his would take a bit as well. Well, a lot of time has passed by taking those two drivers, and I could see the two females, I see them come up and tell them, that I apologize for such a long wait and as I'm about to speak, the driver kips up "Fuck you and your apology. We waited 20 minutes for our food. Do you understand? TWENTY minutes?" I apologized again, assuming that in her anger she accidently swore at me and specified that it was ALL my blame. I mean, they would've waited the same amount of time it would've taken to argue furiously with the people ahead of them. I told them that I would get their food and began giving it to them, as fast as I could. I give them the food, and I begin to say "I apologize for the long wait if you will excuse me for a brief moment, I will grab my manager, and have him give you a refund for the food and also a free meal for the next time you come in." If you see what I italicized it wasn't what I was able to say. I got that far and both females continued to harp on me without letting me tell them what I was going to do to for them, "Well, the food's obviously cold by now?" "Is it?" "It is~!" "You expect us to eat absolutely frozen food?" "We've been waiting 20 minutes in the fucking cold (they were actually in a truck and could roll up the window) for frozen food? Who do you think we are Nianderthals?". Once again, I apologize and try telling them again what they wouldn't let me get out. They then decide to unleash a tirade of stuff for at least five minutes. I can sum it up best with: "Well, fuck you and fuck your apology. *me apologizing again* Yah, as if you are fucking sorry. Fuck you because you made us wait here for 20. Fuck you because our food is cold. Fuck you because you couldn't get those guys to get to the back of the line. Fuck you for making us wait 20 minutes and everyone else in the lineup for 20 minutes. Fuck you because you made a mistake in trying to do your job, and frankly fuck you overall." I can say that those two said "fuck you" to me, more than anyone in my life. That includes the people who picked on me most of my life. And I know people when inconvinced can and likely will be assholes about it. I've been there and done that. It's like nothing new. But, it's one thing to just say a few spiteful words for a few minutes and half meaning at me and half meaning it at the situation. These two were just giving it their all, and I know the customer is right? But when is enough enough? I've apologized, I'm trying to accomodate them because of their inconvince, but those two females kept harping at me and not letting up. After they had finally seen fit to hammer it home that I fucked up, they left the drive-thru. I don't care if you respond to this, make fun of me because this sticks into me, or whatever I just had to get that off my chest. Well, it's now 1:something am my time, and I gotta get back to work at 11am. I'm going to find something to drink and have that breakdown I'm holding back. Catch you whenever the next time is...

I gotta admit that McJob is hilarious... And as for the getting out of my McJob, I'll be hearing about that interview here soon as my dad put it. He's going to coach me into memorizing stuff like what P.O.P. stands for (post office protocale), what F.T.P. stands for (file transfer protocale), what S.M.T.P. stands for (I say "snail mail transfer protocale", which it isn't), and that, because I kinda make little mistake with little memory bits (like SMTP). There's a questionaire that's got 25 little memory questions. Get them alright, and I'll probably have a new job, compared to my McJob. And that's $16/h part-time (working full-time hours to begin with for at least a month) about $2000 a month. Considering I don't have a high school diploma and no degree of any sort, I'll be happy if I get that job. And my dad said there's a high chance of me getting it so long as I complete the quiz correctly %100. So I won't be having a McJob soon.

Not to pick anything in particular, but I love the Chrono Cross reference, and must say that XS has CC beat in that department of storytelling. I at least learnt more playing XS than I had with CC. And btw, you CAN skip cutscenes. Hit pause to pause the movie, and I think triangle and you'll skip it. Or just hit pause and the button that skips the scene will be present. I found this out when I need a bathroom break and didn't want to miss a scene (because God knows major stuff was only in FMVs in XS), so I paused it and it gave me the option to skip it with by pressing another button afterwards.

Sorry, but you didn't make me do a damn thing I saw Renegade and Lightning Elk reading so I helped them out. Now don't make me break out the hose. Uh... Dood, I didn't ask for the pics. But thanks for at least getting those game pics for show and tell.

^ Homless Guy that is in need of some spare change, but < has none to give.

*shakes head* ...why was it I immediately knew it was going to be one of "those" games...

Fazzle, take a look at my team. By all rights I should be last or near the bottom of the rankings with the 3rd highest scoring (and I've barely got that privalege), yet I'm 12 place with a .500 record. So meh. It happens. Edit: Also - Arlen Harris and Brian Westbrook are up for offers... Should someone want either guy.

Oh. So you mean you want to be a politician~!? Why didn't you say so Dames? I'll be your public relations person who will help you out when you make a blunder publicly. Ok?

Wash? Hands? ...people do these things before cooking?

Hm. I understand Dames, totally understand that point of view. It was my situation with becoming a McD's staff member. It was clearly a step down, but at least you had a choice. I sadly, didn't. Well, here's hoping something comes up.

It's how I feel too. I'd quit McD's on the spot, except right now, I'm helping to pay the bills for the new place. No money = More bills owing. I'm hoping I get the job with Telus. At $16/h (plus benefits if I'm full-time, if it isn't, it's $16 straight up still though for part-time), I can get myself in a good position for at least, you know, being well off. And no offense Dames, but power hasn't gone to your head. More like it's "what? He's the board owner? Meh... Loafer." (j/k)

Actually, that's what I like about the game. It is so over the top, it's absolutely a blast (at least for me). ...only disappoint from that game is I didn't get to see what the hell that picture of Laharl's was and all that. You know, the one that causes him to like find out who's blackmailing him? That picture. Back to the topic, I say that anything after Lufia 2 in the Lufia series is an utter disappointment. I mean, they had dropped enough stuff in Lufia 2 to hint that Lufia 3 and we end up getting two rejects of games that are trashy and utterly blah. And I will NEVER accept those rejects for would be sequels or as Lufia 3.

^ thinks Estranged is greatest video ever.

Breakdown = feeling like shit and getting a drink (sadly, strongest stuff I had was straight Eggnog). Actually, I'm very good at drive-thru and I don't mind it. It's just like, I mean, I've had worse situations before and shit, but this time just hit me the wrong way. Maybe it's cause I pride myself on my customer service abilities and able to sort out situations that arise, and adding on the fact that I don't care for being so verbally put down; that stuff stings to me. As for the ... "special advice", I'll take it under consideration. Especially considering I've got a chest cold right now . ...fuck, who am I kidding. I'm never mean when I'm at work. As I said, too prideful. Agent I understand what you mean (waiting for a guy who looks like a hampster), and I don't care for it either. And I wasn't being a guy who looked like a hampster though. I was busting my ass off to get rid of the first two guys. I had their order done up when they got to the window, so it was just a matter of giving it to them. As for handing them off, I would've done it. Hell, I would've walked away, if I didn't have more customers to serve after them. I only had one person in the back to get the orders done and I couldn't get her to serve the orders and can't ask her to do drive-thru as well because she's doing the food up (and I know next to nothing of the kitchen); and my boss is trying to get all the figures from the day completed before setting up floats for tomorrow, so she's got her own job to do. It wasn't a win-win on that end. I got stuck with it. Till I left. Well... I might have a new job opportunity opening up here shortly. Apparently Telus is hiring once again and so I might get a job there. It's a very nice paying job ($16/h, maybe even full-time with benefits [full-time is what I'm wishing for) and considering I had my file pulled back up to the top of the list, I should have a call about an interview (hopefully). How do I know that I've got a shot? Cause my dad currently works at Telus and he asked if they'd consider me. So I might be in a new job that I can live doing for a long time.

Come on people. Twice I get to do this thread? You people really are starting to slack off here. Edit: And I'm a fucking moron for screwing up the date. Geezus, I'm no better than ya all. ...like that was a surprise.

^ is incorrect. < holds elections, but because < is the President Of Idiocy, the normal Idioms wouldn't vote for just any ordinary Idiom, they need a super Idiom, one that is beyond all other Idioms in the realm of Idiocicity. They vote <. ...ok, < just rigs it like any other President. Sssh...
