Okay, haven't blogged in a while; but, I have a perfect legitimate
excuse for this. My excuse is that, I've been lazy like a lazy, lazy
dog. Anyways, I'm leaving this Wednesday on December 1st to the
mystical land of Toronto. Heck, I haven't even packed yet. What kind of
person is so disorganized? My kind! On Saturday I had a pretty awesome
time at Cactus Club with everyone for my going away thing. Alot more
than I expected actually showed up which was pretty cool. Christina got
a cake for me! The picture on the left is from that night, I'm in center. Lastly I got my computer on Thursday and it runs all
nice and smooth, except it overheats ever so often. So, all doors wide
open! I need to buy some more computer toys for the guts...

Okay, World of Warcraft Open Beta is finally over. Now I'm bored once
again;  perhaps it's a good thing, considering that game is so
fricken'chicken addictive? I was really thinking about splurging all of
my money on a brand spankin' new computer - well, just the guts
anyways. But, I want this game... it's such a deep game with tiny
tidbits of story in a world with a very much vibrant history.
Nevertheless, I'm leaving on December first meaning that I'm going to
be jobless for the next little bit of a while. So, I'm not quite sure
if it would be the wisest of things to spend it all since
commercialized, materialistic, and fabricated "holiday spirit"
influenced christmas is on its way marching into town again. It's going
to be hell shopping in December! Atleast I don't have that many people
to buy stuff for. Having almost no friends helps. Well, ever
since grad I haven't really got to chill outs with those guys.

Anyways, I want to buy World of Warcraft since I'm bored. KTHXBYE.

Okay, I'm leaving BC on December 1st at 11:00 PM to go to Toronto,
Ontario. Why? I'm going to work for a bit while building up a portfolio
then start school there in Fall 2005. Then I'll stay there for a bit
until I transfer to Emily Carr. Bah, I have alot of second thoughts
about this plan. If I go there I'm going to be going into Graphics
Design and get my Bachelors of Design. But I haven't designed much
since highschool so I'm rustier than a rusty bucket of bolts. Plus what
I've been really hungering to do lately is program. I really miss
programming in highschool Infotech 12... I could go into that sort of
job. But, I'd have to up my math mark a bit meaning stay here. Damn it,
if I do that I'll be wasting money going back and forth. Life has too
many roads, it's really difficult to choose which is the right one.
Plus I kinda feel like a bum right now since I'm not going to school at
the moment and just working part time. Bah, I really wish I planned
this out better.

Superstore jipped me 28 hours, now I gotta work hard to bitch at the
Supervisors so that they add those 28 back to my next payroll. If they
fail to do so, I'll phone the union representative and then they'll be
in shit.

Wow, as if I thought StuperdStore could get any worse. My new
stupidvisor is revealing himself as even more of a moron than anyone
could possibly imagine in reality. Today I thought I was working
because it said so on the board last Thursday. Now I go walk my ass all
the way to work and discover that I the whole friggen scheduel was
changed. To make it even worse, he didn't even call anyone to notify
them. No wonder only 1/3 of the actual spotters for today showed up. He
probably didn't even phone them either. What a fucking idiot.

Hah, atleast I don't have to work my ass off today on a weekend - the
hardest days of them all. Not to mention I jacked a bunch of Pepsi
labels from the recycling bin in the lunch room. Bwaahha, Ipod - here I
come! Banzai!

Ugh, so bored lately. No school, meaning less things to do in life. I
don't get how people some people are perfectly happy with having only a
part time job and nothing more to do in their life. I can't wait until
I start school, so far from now... Not to mention money is becoming
more and more of an issue. It's impossible for me to save every dollar,
yet I try. If only I didn't spend so much money on other things then
perhaps I would have my computer by now. My current rig is by far
worthless beyond all belief. Aghh, need a job that gives more money.

If you are found to be in disgust by the mere sight of a computer then
you are advised to ignore the following paragraph. You are also to
advised to shower your computer and yourself in kerosene then like a
match and let roast for approxiamately 3 hours.

I just received my Antec Aria today! Although I don't have any parts to
go into it yet, I jacked to slot cooler and rounded ATA cable then
installed it into my shitty old rig. I'm still thinking of a way to mod
this box for extra cooling without damaging the soundproof walls...
Perhaps dual 40mm fans in the front, but those are loud. Bah... If all
fails, side intake it is - but then that would result in air travelling
in a right angle.

It's been a while. Well, let's see now what has happened in the life of Matthew.

On Saturday night at 12:30 while I was working I was slicing open the plastic covering of a pallet and what do you know? Boom, I sliced my thumb open with that dirty exacto knife and blood started to spew out pretty quickly. I go tell one of the supervisors and he says it's not going to stop bleeding so I'll probably need stitches. So, then some lady drives me to my place to get my carecard. I dash in and out, then we speed off the the hospital as I tightly grasp my left thumb to eliminate any further blood loss. I dash out of the car and reach into my pocket to get my wallet. What the shell? It's not there! So we spent another 20 mins driving around for it and couldn't find it. Alas, we gave up and I tried the hospital without my care card. I lost my wallet!? That really stressed me out I had all my cards and about $60 in there. I waited for four hours so some doctor could put a bit of glue on my wound within 10 minutes! Luckily at 5 AM hospital security called and said they retrieved my wallet.

Secondly, I'm gonna be broke soon, yay. I swear once I get a real job and not this bullshit of a SuperStore job I'll be spending alot of cash on my computer. Still saving up for the basics... Hopefully I can quit in a couple weeks.

Thirdly, there's a new asshole in town. Yup, that's right - my supervisor has been replaced by an even more idiotic asshole of a moron. He's been cutting everyones shifts! Even the veterans! That means less people per day. What kind of logical strategy is this? He's been giving all us noobs the weekends which obviously have a heavier workload. We're not as good as those veterans so why do you expect us to be faster? OMFG MORON, he should kill himself. KTHXBYE.
