So I got to the part in FFIX where Blank gets petrified in the Evil Forest... the moment he froze, my game also froze... it's kind of so ironic it's funny but at the same time... ANNOYING.

Yeah. Okay, I hope that they're alright, it's kind of risky here living here at the moment with all the aftershocks. Yeah, can understand why they don't want to come back. I'm saving up money now so can do the same. They just found out there's another active faultline right underneath town, it would be stupid to live here any longer...
And thanks, just trying to find a way now to escape like your friends are. ^^';

- Was hoping to fall asleep somewhat early tonight due to the fact that I'll be working morning shifts next week. Obviously hasn't happened yet.
- There is a book at work about homeopathic "cures" for dogs and cats. I do not believe the vocabulary even exists in the English language to describe how thoroughly filled with rage this makes me every time I see it. If you want to try your bullshit unproven quack pseudo-science for yourself, whatever. At least you're only harming yourself. But dogs and cats deserve better than to be saddled with subpar veterinary care in the face of crippling and life-threatening illnesses because their owners are too fucking stupid to recognise what a placebo effect is. And the people actually peddling this asinine bullshit deserve to be held personally responsible for every single person or animal who dies because, at these bullshit peddlers' urging, they were given quackery in place of actual medical treatment. I cannot even.

Being pedantic, it's actually 2 years 9 months.Actually, 33 months is 3 years, so.
And pedos don't have a pleasant stay in jail.
But being serious, as long as they themselves don't instigate any fights, they could only end up serving 2 years of that. And no matter how unpleasant their stay might be, they will be released. And unless they either exert more control over themselves or end themselves, it's only a matter of time before they reoffend. It seems to be more of an infliction of the psyche (meaning either mind or soul) than a criminal choice. Just sending them to prison when they're caught is like fining a kleptomaniac for shoplifting and leaving it there. But I'm just melancholy right now, so maybe I'm over-analysing the whole thing.OT: I won't go into detail as I'm sufficiently annoyed that I don't trust my own recall with the specifics (which doesn't often happen). In essence, my manager called me into a board room yesterday afternoon and talked at me about things that only had anything to do with work at a tangent.
Apparently, I drag myself around the office, and while I do all my work within the time constraints and correctly (unlike some of my colleagues, including my manager - which I was tactful enough not to say), I "go slow, so it seems no work's being done" (obv., never seen the difference in the filing tray between me being in work and off work).
Also, I have no aspirations, because if I did, I'd be going for promotions (of which there are precisely none). This last point needs some real underlining - she was hired to be manager from outside the company because everyone who was already working there had too much sense to apply for it themselves. Oh, and the fact that I don't have plans for ten years from now is further proof that I have no ambition.
She also had a go at me for being introverted and meek, saying that people will walk all other me. Stupid bitch pisses me off day in and out, but she's never pushed me anywhere I actually care enough for her to see that I may be introverted and meek, but that doesn't mean I'm a push over. I'm BRITISH -- we aren't stubborn as mules, mules are as stubborn as US. (And a couple store clerks have found that being meek doesn't stop me from being stubborn, too.)
Oh, and I really need to learn to drive. Because otherwise I can't get anywhere. The bus service and the fact that four people commute into the same company from the same village as me, and more colleagues pass through my village on their way to work, suggest otherwise. (I've given up trying to explain to her that I have a motor skills problem which would cause problems with me driving, as she seems convinced that dyspraxia is dyslexia, I'm just not spelling/saying it right.)
Alternatively, I should move into the nearest city. From where I couldn't get to my current workplace in time, or probably get accomodation - from what they pay me, I could probably only afford a student flat, and, guess what? They're usually reserved for students.
She then had the fucking nerve to ask me what I did with my time outside of work! It was around then she started simpering as she usually only does to HER superiors and saying, "you don't have to answer that". I can only guess that my much valued control over my emotions was starting to noticeably slip.

TL;DR - my manager is a stupid, nosy, interfering bitch.

Also, great that my PS2 lets me play FFIX but now it won't load past the damn Evil Forest cutscene. UUUUUGGGGGH. IT STILL FREEZES IN THE SAME SPOT EVERY TIME. 
Screw you PS2, screw you.

@Tiff: have you tried cleaning your disc? There are some pretty good disc cleaners that may be able to help remove scratches and such. Alternatively sometimes taking it out and putting it back in will result in skipping the cutscene, I believe. I was not able to view a single FMV on the first disc of FFIX, but by doing this every time I got to one I was able to play the whole game.
@topic, I slept for like eight hours last night and I'm still tired. Woe.

@Aaron - I know the disc is a bit dirty, but I don't have any disc cleaning stuff. :c I can try doing the other option though and see if it works. If it does I will mail you a cookie :'D

I am so fucking embarrassed for my city I am pretty much in tears. My hands are shaking as I type this.
No this has nothing to do with the outcome of the games. For those of you that are curious as to what I'm talking about, look up stuff about the riots which ensued after.

Bad bad bad bad BAD day at work. Almost quit.
I began to pull in, and this other driver who drives the company car signaled for me to pull up to him. So I did, and he said the manager was in a bad mood so kiss as much ass as possible. Apparently there had been some screw ups. My thought: Okay Alison, do NOT screw up today.
So everything went smoothly for the first hour or so and then some lady called and after I answered the phone she said, "Hi this is dominoes." I ask, "Dominoes Pizza?" and she says yes. ... I'm like lol WTF? Already I'm thinking it's a prank, but the lady orders a pizza, gives me an address, I even remember asking if she wanted me to bring it right to the main entrance and she said yes. I'm thinking... WTF? Why would Dominoes order from us? Well, I figured it was NOT a prank because she paid over the phone with a card. I was also the one who ended up taking the run, but there was a problem. When I arrived at Dominoes, the address was completely different. I went inside and asked if anyone had ordered pizza and OF COURSE it's a no, because it makes no god damn sense. At this point I'm thinking it really was a prank, maybe with a stolen credit card or something. So I called the store and was told there's ANOTHER Dominoes on the other side of town... lovely wonderful...
So I head on over to the OTHER Dominoes, meanwhile trying to call the phone number on this address... FINALLY as I'm getting close to the other Dominoes the people called ME Back. Turns out it wasn't a Dominoes at all, it was a townhouse that wasn't even in our delivery area >_< Why did the lady say Dominoes?... my only guess is that she did it as a joke, and thought I KNEW she was joking. Get it? Call a pizza place, say you're from Dominoes, hahaha... yeah... no.... So after being gone an hour or so on that run (my longest yet >_<) I come back and take a few more runs with no incidents... everything is going fine again... then again it all goes to shit.
I'm STILL pissed about the Dominoes incident tbh, but I go to this other place and I can't find the fucking right building. Both my GPSs lead me to this apartment complex, but I cannot... find... the... fucking... building... AND THE LADY DOESN'T ANSWER HER FUCKING PHONE. I basically had some form of mental breakdown here, and in a rage I drove back to the store, put the order on the counter, put my money on the counter and said "Take whatever you need out of my paycheck, I quit."
Now let me explain something. This wasn't just me having a hissy fit, when I screw up, I get angry at myself. I call myself names. I think I'm stupid. I feel alone, I feel depressed, angry and just all around worthless. I keep asking myself why? Why can't this job work? Why can't I find this place? What am I missing? Why does it have to be this way?
I had every intention of walking out of the store completely, but one thing stopped me. I had left my watch inside because i had taken it off previously doing dishes... the night manager was like "Wait wait, whoa why don't I check you out before you leave?"... and in the meantime this other guy is going around telling everyone, "Alison quit. Alison just quit." and I just wanna get the fuck out of there. The nigh Manager basically asked me what was going on and I attempted to explain it to him but he really saw it as nothing more than a temper tantrum, which is understandable... he basically said, "Well no one's on your ass about it, no one's yelling at you, no one's angry." and then another driver came by and told me the exact place I was at fucked him over once as well and as soon as last week, he was out on a run and had to return because he couldn't find the place and it happens to everyone... so he gave me a choice that I could leave, I was a grown up (lulz)... I said I didn't want to screw anyone over so I'd stay.
I ended up taking a few more runs and staying quite late. There was another mishap with an order at the hospital but it wasn't really my fault. The lady was basically complaining that her food was cold and the wrong order, but yeah... no it was fine, she's just bitching. For my last run, I went to a place called "Huntington Place," which is known among delivery drivers all around this area as "The place where delivery drivers don't return." because it's such a confusing layout. It really is like a maze and no matter HOW long anyone has been working as a driver, they HATE going there. But I managed it and came back. Woo.
I dunno what I'm going to do though. I shouldn't have to feel this way. I probably am going to quit but with a proper two week notice. I dunno yet, I have to see if there's repercussions from my actions tonight...I feel like such an idiot. ... I Just wish I had an answer to all this... sucks that my friend Ben isn't still alive. He' know exactly what to do

I agree. How can fucking adults lose their goddamn minds over a game, when it does no one any fucking good. I hope these people get locked up for a sizable portion of their lives.

And I thought you're supposed to destroy the city when you win, not when you lose.
Not that its any more rational, but still the opposite of what it usually is. I expected riots in Boston, not Vancouver.

I don't think any job is worth this kind of stress, but I understand needing to pay bills. Go out looking for something better, and when you find it, then give notice.
