Of course we are. Why wouldn't we? It's not snowing, so that must count for a lot. Been pretty quiet, work wise so far this week. Oh wait it's only Monday.

 

Let's see, did a couple of jobs Friday, dropped off the Mic for My Buddy Bruce that came from China. Not too exciting.

 

Saturday I did one job in the morning, setting up a new machine to replace two crappy old ones. So that went fine. Had a few hours before Sean's, as I recall I worked more on getting characters into the database, off of paper, so I have less to carry there. Oh yeah, tried Marathon. I recall now why I've never won those games. They sucked. The controls are bizarre, the character seems to have ice skates on, forget dodging anything, finding where to go is impossible, died all the time. Honestly, I don't know why those open source guys bothered. Made rice crispy treats, then went over there. It was the perfect horizon game, so Mizzy and I did nothing. Oh, we helped plan and such, I guess, if there was a plan, but really we could have saved ourselves hours of work and just busted in because the exact same thing is going happen. We reached our goal in time to stop for the night, but now we have to get the thing out of the safe and actually make it out with our lives. Perhaps Marco can finally show us what he's made of.

 

In reality he's in the wrong game. There's more robots then people in the base, what's he going to do about that? I set him up to be a people person. He can charm, and if that doesn't work, get in close and drain energy so as not to seriously hurt people. But in a world of crab tanks and security robots, that doesn't mean much. Oh certainly there are missions he would be great on, like the whole "get in with H.U.M.A.N" mission I thought was going to be a lot more about people, like you know, them trusting me "for some reason" but not the others or something, I don't know, I just think the ESPer guy would have been better on this one. At least he can electrocute stuff. Well, live and learn.

 

Also played some Gears 3, which was fun.

 

Then Sunday, finally got back to playing Skyrim a bit. Didn't know there were heavy and light version of Dragon Scale armor, so I started working on a new set of armor. Got the breastplate and helmet done, but then I ran out of dragon scale. I hadn't saved it, you see, and I've killed (or seen dead) so few dragons.

 

There was a patch, and post patch the wall to the city I was in sort of… well, it disappeared. Some patch. So I didn't leave by the door (thus triggering the "load the outside world again" script) so I was just moseying along with no grass, no trees, no rocks, no textures. Weird.

 

Then today, shopping as usual. They didn't have the thing I wanted for a gift so I used a substitute, which I think looks okay! The last piece is supposed to arrive tomorrow so that can finally get done. Almost done with my shopping! 

 

Fixed the bugs int he database I had found. Watched some Buffy. Looked at a laptop that had a virus that had been dropped off. Made Bernd Gottschalk. Changed a keyboard for a guy, then dropped off a PC I had taken last week. Got a netbook in trade he wants made ready to give away. 

 

Five calls, but somehow that only translated into one job for tomorrow. Oh well, I can do paperwork, maybe.

 

Rained. Nasty out at night, hate driving in that crap. Still, better then six inches of snow.

 

Washed my 8gb flash drive. Again? Because I might have done it once before. Looked for it after wondering where it went, after putting in laundry. Yup. If it survived, huge piece of wood getting attached to it. Or a chain. Maybe both.

 

Oh well, it's tomorrow, so I guess I'll go. In the words of the turret: "Are you still there?"
