Here's.. something!

I have a sneaking suspicion there will be many more of these to come.
Even if I only have three readers confirmed so far, it's just great to know this isn't going out to noone.

Arrg, rant time!

I usually love work. It's tiring and at times, and painful at others, but all in all I have few complaints. And all in all my day was quite grand, minus the forty minutes I spent with one particularly annoying fellow (whom I hope never reads this blog). Now as I mentioned before I work desktop support, so I get called around to offices where I either fix their problem or show them how to fix it on their own.

Today I was called to some guy's desk. Now, I suppose I have seen him about, but never really talked to him more than to say Hi. So for all intensive purposes I don't know him at all. I ask him to show me the problem and he does so, but while doing so starts this kind of atheist bashing rant. How they have no moral compass, and how without faith there is no hope, burning in hell, and so on.

Now it's not a fact I advertise to everyone, but I am an atheist. Now how exactly this random guy I work with knows is anyone's guess. Because some of the questions he asks during the rant are aimed specifically at me. Asking how did I decide, and how I should come to his church. It takes some willpower but I avoid opening my mouth at all throughout his tirade. When he paused for some questions I start talking about the computer. I won't be baited into an argument or debate. I finish watching his demonstration and start telling him how to fix his problem.

Unfortunately he is not listening to me at all. He is far too interested in telling me how wrong I am. So I continue to try to explain, and he begins to slowly do as he's told, after having me say each step at least twice. In the end as I'm leaving he asks me out!? I tell him "Sorry, no." and I'm off, with probably the most dumbfounded look on my face ever.

So let it be known that telling me I'm wrong for nearly 30 minutes is not a way to get me to consider you dating material.

--------------------------------------------------------

I left out details about who it was and what the problem was in order to keep my job. I hope this is still vague enough to avoid problems.

Thanks for the support whoever is still reading this, and look forward to next time, where I hope I will have something other than a long winded complaint about my day!

Curse you real life!

As you all heard in my last post, I am employed. I failed to realize exactly how much this would wear me out. Day after day all I wanted to do was vault myself onto my bed and read until I fell asleep.

And for the most part, that is what I have been doing. No art, no games, no programming for fun. Just reading and sleeping. And sorry to say, but for the most part, it will continue as such for the next 2 months or so.

Once I'm back and procrastinating at school, then I will have all the time to draw, write, and game. Assuming I don't get swamped there. I might make the odd posting here and there over the rest of summer, but don't expect anything with regularity.

Anyway, I'm sure you are all wondering what work gets me so tired. Well it's desktop support. I won't say for who or give out any details. I've seen people canned for less. The important part is that I have a good, paying job. Even if the pay itself is not that good.

Well that's all from me tonight. Hopefully I'll find myself back here next weekend. Maybe I'll review a book or something. I can't say I have much else to talk about. I would tell a few good stories from work, but I'm sure you've all heard the BOFH and PEBKAC stories before.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you're all still out there. If nothing else come back sometime in September. There will be updates! There might even be art!

Edit: Also had a birthday a while back. Happy birthday me!
