1. Just venting once again...
   

   Player Chronicle -- Posted on Apr 24 2009

   To start off, no I'm not in a bad mood, and in fact I'm feeling quite relaxed. However I got a little rant in me that is sure to come out and *POP* WHOA! There it is!
   
   5:30 P.M. I wake up to my alarm and sigh saying "Ahh, not even tired! Looks like I won't be sleeping 'til 7 again! I'll just relax for a bit...Of course after around 20 minutes or so I fell asleep, which isn't a big deal just kinda, you know I like long days before work.
   
   I had this really wierd dream that made me, I don't know if sickened is the right word, but something just didn't feel right. To put it simply, I had been mind****ed (not surprisingly though, since I looked at mind****ed pictures for a while before falling asleep). Any who, the dream was about the next Team America movie sort of, with the only similarities being the puppets (in looks and movement, and the whole Team America 2 ending credits thing...I don't know how to explain it but it was a movie, and it said Team America 2, so that's how I know), and the only other similarity was Kim Jong Il...Freaky already huh? Well at the end it showed Kim Jong Il eating, well wood shaped like people or something, and since it was my mind I know it tried to make him look like a cannible, then it showed the protagonistic scientist director (again my mind, I know what he was supposed to be) only he was actually cannibalizing on real people, or in this case puppets, then back to Kim, and finally back to him again to show that he was evil and Kim wasn't as evil...WIERD! Not a good dream...Freaked me out.
   
   Okay so then I woke myself up at 6:56 (excuse me if it was 6:57 or 58 I don't remember exactly mister perfect so cut me some slack!), looked at my phone, and found I had a new text message. This is usual since my friend usually texts me when he wants to come over, only now alarms are going off, which I believed were just for tornado drills and ignored them. Looked at the message and noticed it was my mom and thought "huh...is this how she's gonna make sure I'm up now?" since I'm a bit obsessive compulsive and always have a backup plan to make sure I don't over sleep. Then I look at the message only to find out she's at my grandmas. Holy crap I thought! If and I mean IF I hadn't woken up at that time I may have missed work! Then I kept reading the message and found out that my cousin has a tumor.
   
   And he's the healthiest of both sides of my family. He played professional hockey in Sweden and Germany, and had a chance to play for the Minnesota Wild, but recently retired from hockey to marry his girlfriend in July and so he wouldn't get injured so much...I'll hold back the wuss joke for now due to obvious circumstances. And then I kept reading and found that he might, and current info states that he does have cancer. Luckily for him the chances are in his favor that he'll be able to get over it.
   
   Of course it struck me knowing that this incident raises my chances of getting cancer someday, especially when he played a sport PROFESSIONALLY and my excersize consists mainly of singing in Rock Band, moshing, and playing my drum kit...Not to mention my aunt and uncle died of cancer at a very young age (mid 30's and early 40's I believe...Their sons only 14!)...so obviously not good knowing cancer likes my moms side of the family...
   
   Anyway theres more. I go to work all charged up after having downed a Monster (what exactly do you call the green original flavor?), which I fell in love with again, only to get in my car with Constant Motion Live blasting! So I'm in a very charged and positive mood for work. I went in, did my job the best I could, and remembered I had to check next weeks schedule...Especially next Thursday's because of a very special concert I felt the need to attend. You see a couple months ago I felt that I'd get a new issue of Decibel in the mail, which I did. I also recently said "Man, I really gotta go to another concert!", looked inside and saw As I Lay Dying, Children of Bodom (YEAH!!!), Municipal Waste, God Forbid (YEAH!!!) and Lamb of God (YEAH!!!) all playing together! It was destiny, and it only took seconds to get a ticket.
   
   Anyway so I check my schedule and notice I get 3 nights off as usual, however unlike my usual Tuesday, Wensday, and Saturday off, I got Monday, Tuesday, and Wensday off...I stopped and went WTF!?!? The ONE night I wanted off? No? You ****in' SERIOUS!
   
   I mean WTF seriously!?!? Even though I never called in sick, never took a night off, showed up and punched in as early as I could (and started working of course), occassionally stayed late, and have been told many times by higher ups that I was one of the best workers and because of that they'd give me more hours since we had to cut them, most people only work 3 nights a week usually, I always work 4 cuz I'm "efficient". I bite my tongue, focus on my job, always finish earlier then everyone else, always do what I'm asked even the crap jobs no one else wants to do, and even said I'd be willing to take a non-vacation day off so I wouldn't even get paid for just ONE NIGHT! But no, despite how everyone is begging for more hours, I give someone else a chance to work an extra night and they deny it!?!? And I know they got the request because the exec even showed me where to put it the night I filled it out, and it was much more then two weeks notice as required...
   
   Apparently a night off is way too much to ask for, so needless to say I'm calling in sick that night, or I may just end up screaming at the boss. I mean, Thursdays are one of the slower nights of the week two, and just a few nights ago a co-worker was mad about how he needs more hours since he's a bit short on how much he makes a week now and I believe he has to be making a certain amount to keep his apartment or something...That being said giving me the night off COULD have been a win-win situation, but no...they ruined that. Now that I know I can't request one night off, I don't think I'll be in any rush to get my work done, I'll be taking it easy still getting it done, but not at around the time everyone else does. I won't be staying late ever again either. I may even quit, but I'll see how things turn out first. And I have all my aggression pounded out already by having a nice smoke with some Necrohagist blasting...That always cheers me up
   
   Oh and did I mention that I came home only to find out that Dynafire tried to make excuses for his utter failure of standing next to a propane tank I eventually aimed at and shot while he was slaying zombies! That really set me off
