The two best games I think I have every played before. <3
I'm serious, they made me realize that not all space marine games can be boring. Just great characters and such great storytelling.
Go play it if you haven't checked it out already. -
W is for Work

I love my work. <3
I mentioned this in the donator's forum, but working with older people ROCK. They don't know how to use office or anything, so I'm the tech guru that figures everything out for them.
I printed off mailing labels in Microsoft Word and the secretary nearly CRIED because she's been using a typewriter for the past 20 years. I taught the staff accountant how to make the grids show up in Excel, and she APPLAUDED.
I set up a new computer on our server system [without calling technical support] and got a bonus.
I wonder how they'll react when I tell them I used recognition scanning software that means we won't have to type W2's and W2G's and 1099's anymore. They might give me a freaking medal. XD
Speaking of which, I got the formal job offer yesterday to stay on-board after graduation. I won't make NEAR as much money as I would if I moved out of town or what-not, but it's a guaranteed job with people I really love being around as co-workers and it's within walking distance of my siblings AND in a great neighborhood with houses that cost less than 60,000. I'll take all those perks be extremely happy. :D
Although my aunt has also offered me a position in a nearby town so she can get another source of revenue [she's a broker and has an insurance salesman all in one building, but no accountants]. I hate to tell her, but it's not worth a 45 minute drive to get paid the commission salary AND pay part of the rent. -
B is for Bad

I feel bad now. I badmouthed a teacher really bad for being a bitch and she actually ended up giving me the grade I deserved. >_>'
The whole issue was that I had a project she refused to grade because I'd left off ONE form out of a 75 page tax return. That was half a test grade. It had brought my grade down to a 68 and I was PISSED. -

I do a worklog at work for my timesheet. WEll, they're usually quite boring, so I decided to spice it up a bit!
8:00 AM: Begrudgingly walked in to a torrent of clients wanting to rip my face off with demands of tax return answers and intellect.
8:30 AM: Client Insinuated that another client's mother performed scandelous acts.
8:31 AM: Client left office and left behind bloody remains.
8:32 AM: Called janitorial services.
9:00 AM: Sat down to desk after an hour of answering idiots. Logged on to accounting system.
9:05 AM: Phone rings with superior requesting a recap of client's tax years & to create a form for consent and have them sign it.
9:12 AM: FIle cannot be found.

On top of the death in the family, my dad and brother got into a car accident and are both in intensive care. They'll be fine and aren't going to die or anything, but damn it!
When it fucking rains, it fucking POURS.
I also want to STAB my workload.
