I've been meaning to watch that. Some swear by it being terrifying while others have told me it is just not very good or scary. I guess I should watch it and decide for myself.

It needs more orange everywhere, well come October.

At work my department does stuff behind the scenes. We don't deal with the public and we have a typical office job atmosphere. No weekends, no late hours, etc. Pretty nice after working retail and with the public for years. I don't mind working with the public but I wouldn't want to right now. I think those that do are really brave or I hate to say desperate. Anyway, one of the places in the system that does deal with the public currently has many job openings but they can't fill them because we can't hire currently. So they had the idea to shift some of us in various places to that location "temporarily". One such department was ours. Me and a coworker were to split it each week and go there. There are two problems with this. First and most importantly I have asthma. I don't want to be anywhere near the public right now. Especially in this situation and by that I mean the reason the place has so many openings is because the manager there is trash. That person always runs off everyone hired and now this time they can't replace them so they are doing this. So now they are taking people who did not sign up for this job in particular just because they are terrible at being a decent person. And for people like me you are helping put me in the line of fire since I have an underlying condition. Just because you treat your employees like garbage and now need bailing out. So when my department head told me the details and asked if it sounded okay I kind of pushed back hard. I explained I was not comfortable with this in any way because of my asthma. I did not mind helping out if maybe I could do stuff behind the scenes there or something. She said she would tell the higher ups(where the idea came from). They decided, for now at least, to just take my other coworker for the entire time. So now he has to go there every day he works instead of his actual job. This also includes late nights and weekends. You'd think they could at least have tried to go with his normal schedule since he is helping them but no. It isn't fair to him or anyone that we have to cover for them and now he has to go work with the public which again is not the job he signed up for. So now I hope I'm not blacklisted. I hope that in the future if I see a job I want to apply for, the higher ups won't be like oh yeah it's that guy. He wouldn't cooperate and help us when we asked him to, good reason or not. So yeah he's not getting that position. Although I don't know if it really matters. The chances of me moving up have always been slim. I will already be beaten out by anyone who has more experience and seniority(which is most everyone there), anyone who has a higher degree than myself and by people already in departments. Typically when they promote they promote from within a department since that person knows how the department works. Except when it comes to me apparently. I actually applied for the position that my coworker has, the one that will be leaving for a bit. I was almost promised that position, strongly hinted that it was mine and then it wasn't. He is actually still being trained so I know my department head at least is not happy about that, now that he has to go all the time he has to put his training on hold. Thankfully I don't think my direct supervisor cares either way. Of course they could at any time change their minds but for now this is how it is. Again, hopefully not blacklisted but not sure that it matters either way. I have to do what's best for me as well. I'll just have to see how all this plays out over time.

This thread is now a Oh hey it is killa ounze thread. I'm pretending it is.

People look at my profile?

I am indifferent to the last two fighters. Not mad or happy. I also haven't played in around 3 months. I really should.

And then it turns into working from home forever!

Be glad you don't have to be out in this. I wish we could have stayed home longer and drawn unemployment for another month at least before coming back. I'm glad there was a coming back but it still sucks. You know how many people come into a library the size of the one/system I work for? Too many. All the books exchanging hands and people being at the same place at the same time. My one good thing is that the department I work in is both very isolated from the rest of the library building and our department is pretty isolated from each other. There are days where we barely talk to one another because our jobs require us to do our own thing and only interact when we have to or want to make small talk. Today for example I think I literally for the entire 8 and half hours only said have a nice night when leaving. We are all well over 6 feet apart too. So again that is all good but we do have interactions with the staff on the other levels of the library when going to the break room and restrooms and stuff(I really feel for them too since they have to deal with so many people every day with all this going on as cases rise in the city.)

Obligatory be thankful you have a job right now because a lot of people don't/are losing their job.

Symphony of the Night is like 15 dollars or something on xbox. The original is probably around 7-10 dollars on the Wii and Wii U VC. Most people don't have a Wii U and you can't buy them on the Wii anymore but you can get it bundled in the Castlevania Anniversary collection for I think 20 dollars or so with every other older Castlevania title up to Castlevania 4. That's on xbox, Switch, Steam and PS4. Why would you spend that for a physical copy? You are as bad as bloodhawk man.

It actually gets worse. They called us back with little notice. We started Tuesday of Memorial Day week. We are supposed to get paid for Memorial Day but they said our furlough was still active until Tuesday so we just didn't get paid for that day. The unemployment goes by the week so no help there either. We just got screwed. Also some of our fellow employees are still furloughed. I guess we were more "essential" but they are making about double what we are currently for not working. What a stupid mess.

How badly do you have to screw up to get banned here? I mean this place is beyond giving the keys to the inmates in the asylum, it is like giving the keys to the inmates after the world ended and we are in Mad Max or something on top of it. There's not a lot of rules but if you mess up you really mess up.

It would be best if it erupted and just ended it all. I also heard another asteroid is flying by soon. Shame it cant just hit us and wipe everything out. Yes I am essentially Early, sometimes I just want the sun to explode....although lately it is more like all the time.

I was told we'd be furloughed until mid July. 2 weeks in and they called us back. That extra unemployment money would have been nice for the next month and a half, Oh well.

Beer is boring. No thread for beer!

It is still going. Genis just came back recently as did ryan only for ryan to vanish again.

When I first got out of college the economy was crap. I couldn't find a job for two years. During that time I had no job or school so I had all the time in the world to do whatever. Eventually I did land a job but I have always joked that during those two years, that was my retirement time that I will never get in the future. Freedom to do whatever whenever. I joked that I'd never have that again but I guess I did for two months.

I've been on "Corona time" for the past two months or so. That means time has no meaning. I have been going to bed and getting up whenever and doing whatever because you can't really go anywhere and my job sent all of us home. We found out after about a month or so that we were all being furloughed for at least 8 more weeks. We were scheduled to go back some time in mid July. It was quite shocking to me at first but I got used to it. It has been as fun as it can be while all this has been going on and not knowing if I'd even have a job to go back to. I've been spending a lot of time on xbox with other old IB friends. Then late last week I got a call from my boss saying we had been recalled early (2 weeks into the furlough) so once again quite a shock. I go back to work Tuesday. My body is not ready mentally or physically. My sleep schedule is all messed up. I was hoping we'd have a bit more warning than 4 days. Case in point here I am posting this at 3:30am. I've been going to bed after 6am but starting Tuesday that is when I'll be waking up. This will suck for a few days. (I also was making nearly double on unemployment than working but that's another matter entirely) Also I'm bored right now which is why I made this. Anything new going on with you all? Has raptorpat finally gone crazy with power? Does he make everyone wear tiny mini skirts?

Sigh, I'm sad to say that this excites me. I still love Bleach for all its problems. I also heard there is a light novel coming that explains more stuff after the manga ended or something.

I like Crunchyroll. You won't get Funimation stuff but you can watch it on any device for free with a few ads but of course If you pay for it you don't have to watch the ads. If I can't get an anime legally there then I go to less than reputable places but I prefer to give to the industry when I can.

I'll get it later when it goes on sale.

That was hilarious.

Oh another 2005 member. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was alright.
