I am British, so we don't celebrate Turkey Day (;^^)

[Nichi]

Off work now. Breaking it down by the phases of the night:

- The "oh god what am I doing this is going to suck" part of the night (Midnight)
I get in, and am first initially shocked by the fact the Open sign is already on and people are inside (Turns out the manager was letting people come inside to get what games they want, and so they don't have to wait in the cold). Then, before I really have time to process anything, I'm off to work. At one point, something happened and a bunch of stuff fell over randomly (I was struck in the back by a renegade Wii U in one of the storage rooms, and the neatly organized pile of systems in the other storage room was all knocked over and scattered everywhere). Aside from one angry customer due to a mislabeled game, everybody was pleasant; it was just the maddening experience of frantically dashing around to meet everybody's demands that had me worn out within the first hour.

- Dr. Feelgood, or: How I Learned To Stop Caring And Love The Coffee (1AM)
After an initial rush in the first hour, it calmed down and we were finally able to think. I was informed that, unfortunately, I wouldn't receive an hour break; instead, I'd get a 30-minute break, and then I'd get off 30 minutes early. I was annoyed by this, as I brought my laptop and was planning to drive down to McDonald's for orange juice, but I decided I'll just walk down to Walgreens and do that instead. During this time, we were reorganizing some displays and tending to the occasional stray customer...and I had some really strong coffee, which gave me the boost I needed after being so worn out.

- Gimme a Break (2:30)
After one of the people got in (And another one who found out he was 3 hours early; so he was just bumming around until it was time), I walked down to Walgreen's to get orange juice...after a struggle trying to explain to my coworkers that yes; Walgreen's is much closer to us than Wal-Mart (Maybe they thought CVS, which would be more worthwhile of a drive? I mean, Walgreen's is practically in Gamestop's backyard, while Wal-Mart is a much longer walk and is too much of a madhouse for someone who's just wanting some Minute Maid). While on break, I picked up Kingdom Hearts for PS3; getting a killer deal on it via employee discount ($18 new. Collector's edition with pretty artbook, even; which gave me something to flip through while I had my juice).

- The Stupid Hour (3AM)
With orange juice gone, and customers barely coming in, we managed to get a lot done; including me finally getting to move the giant 3DS signs to where they're over the 3DS section as they should be (Something that has irked me since just before I started). It was during this part where I was really goofy; any little thing was more amusing that it really should have been, like them talking about a coworker who goes by "Dick" (Whom I was waiting on to show up, so I could go home). Went quite well during this time.

- The Dark Hour (4AM)
By the time 4AM rolled around, the amusement began to fade and frustration began to set in; especially with that one coworker who ended up being there early. It's like I'm cursed to end up working with people who force retarded nicknames onto me and demand I be "more manly"; like I'm supposed to talk in a deep bass voice like I'm Mr. T (Yet I have the nickname "Stewart Little"; because he claims I resemble the kid from the movie. At least he's the only one calling me it, so it hasn't reached "RC" levels of "I want to strangle anyone who calls me that"). Then said guy had to start rattling on how he believes aliens built the pyramids and the PS4 because there's "no conceivable way" man could do that without assistance, then went onto a tangent on how Texas is the "best goddamn state" and needs to secede from the US and become its own country and other bullshit. It felt like 5AM would never get here, but alas, it finally did, and like a bat out of hell I was gone; too tired to even care to go to Beall's.

Now, I hibernate; since I have to go back up there at 6PM. Hopefully it won't be so painful the 2nd time -___-;
(Also really wondering if I made the right decision to juggle both Pizza Hut and Gamestop on Christmas Eve. Maybe I should take off from the Hut that day, since the only way I can get off from Gamestop is if I quit before then; I'm bound by contract to be there)

(I was struck in the back by a renegade Wii U in one of the storage rooms,

NO U!!!

all jokes aside, i'm glad you managed to get through it intact. good luck with the second round. ;^;

[Nichi]

Thanks for that; I needed a laugh xD

I'm sure it won't be too bad tonight; the crowd cleared out in our first hour -w-;

[Chocofreak13]

never say never (again). it could be awful. :\

[Nichi]

True :\

If there is one positive, I do bypass meeting mom's family for their late Thanksgiving; since I was asleep -w-
(Also, I'll probably pick up something to eat on my way in)

EDIT: The Spirit is back >:3
Just in time for me to charge into the final round

EDIT2: I can never count on my bank for anything it seems. Even with direct deposit, I'm still getting the fucking "you don't have $300 in the bank so we'll charge you $8 a month to have this bank account" charge; which caused me to get overdrawn
*facedesk*

[DustiiWolf]

Can someone direct me to the animes to which

This:


And this:


Originate from?

Also, that second one looks like Yu Madobe

I am British, so we don't celebrate Turkey Day (;^^)

Do you celebrate the day of the doctor then?

[NejinOniwa]

I think #1 is Softenni? Though this is better suited for RPT or the anime threads tbh.

[Chocofreak13]

it IS better suited for rpt, but I can confirm, yes, that first one is Softenni. as for the second, I haven't a clue, though I've heard of a nifty thing google is trying with firefox/chrome that was basically a reverse image lookup. you might try googling the program and see if you can use it, if no one else can identify it. :\

@pent: are there ANY other banks in the area...?

[LeaflameSD]

The second image is from Oreshura (Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru).

Do you celebrate the day of the doctor then?

Oh, I'm not a Doctor Who fan ^^

[Nichi]

@Kari: Banks in general? Plenty
Banks with locations outside of Texas? Capital One is the only option; lest I lose access to all of my money when I move >_>;

So, here's a rundown of the rest of the night

- Can has taco cheezburger? (5PM)
I left home an hour early to get something to eat that isn't too expensive, and deposit a little cash into the bank to bring it back up. On the way, thought I was going to be witness or caught in a wreck as some shithead in a Hummer was going 60MPH+ on the small road in-between my bank and Wal-Mart (Which is a 30MPH zone), passed me (A no passing zone, I might add), and in the process nearly slammed headfirst into a car turning into Wal-Mart. My some miracle, that asshole didn't hit anyone, but that was enough to make me decide against going to Taco Bell as planned; I instead walked down to Wal-Mart to go to their McDonald's.

When there, some cook there was acting like he knew me. I vaguely recognize him from McDonald's, but it seems weird because I don't even know who this guy is. But, I enjoyed a cheap burger with a Coke, then briefly wondered around Wal-Mart before buying some chocolate and going down to work.

- The Doctor and the Director in Black Friday (6PM)
Working alongside one of my favorite coworkers again (Who is a Doctor Who fan; with his nametag identifying himself as "The Doctor" -w-), we proceeded to clean up the store after whatever happened before we got there. Things were reorganized, systems were sold, Diablo III was put next to Disgaea 3 on the PS3 shelf, and I have an epic brownie waiting for me for later (Damn thing is at least 6 inches all sides). It went a lot smoother this time around; not near as many people, I was better rested, and it was overall nice. Even better when we got to close up shop and start to reorganize.

- Closing Time (9PM)
With the front door locked, we began to further clean; greatly reorganizing the Xbox 360 section, filing away stuff on the back counter, and joking around. Just, all in all a good time. Also, I took home the case for Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus; as the disc was missing...and found it has the download code for Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty inside; which may or may not have been redeemed (I might possibly have a free game -w-). We lost track of time, having to rush the 360 section toward the end, before clocking out and then leaving at the same time. All in all, the second half of the day was much better than the first...even if I realized by the time I approved my timesheet that my hours were all kinds of fucked up (Mostly because, before I even had time to clock in, they were throwing tasks at me)

Now, I get to sleep at a normal time again. Yay~

[NejinOniwa]

DATABASED SHIROE
SO EVIL

[Nichi]

I can confirm that I did, in fact, get a free game from saving that case last night. So, now I have Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty downloading -w-

[LeaflameSD]

Nobody's gonna thank me? Wow, r00d.

[stewartsage]

Pent... that.... that's a real game?  Not some kind of Cinema Snob approved porno spoof?

Went to the giant antique place with the family today.  Struck out on finding anything for my brother, but I did get a few things for myself >>.
