Day 1. Let the venting begin.

It’s another day at work, alone. Alone you may ask? Let me explain. I work at a storage facility in Decatur Georgia. It’s oh, about 5-10 minutes outside of Atlanta. Yes, Atlanta, not “ATL” I am not some loser rapper or hip hopper thus I do not feel the need to acronym it as thought it means something. No one ever says “I am from ‘N’ ‘Y’.” They say New York. “I am from ‘P’ ‘A’.” It’s Pennsylvania. Anyways, I digress..

I am here alone, because again the other person I am supposed to work with is over hours due to crappy scheduling. Our boss is on vacation ( his 80+ year old mom is down here visiting him and he’s a mamma’s boy ) so he took the week off. This made the assistant manager go over hours, though I fail to see how. He works two days for 12 hours, that’s 24 hours out of 40. That leaves 16 hours left for 3 days. That’s just over 5 hours a day. He gets here at 8, so in theory he should leave at 2 each day. Yet he leaves at about 10. Why? He does lots of marketing and things that he “gets paid for even when he is not at work.” Such crap.

I play Word of Warcraft. I have for a few years now, sometimes it’s just a time sink, sometimes I enjoy. Lately, I’ve been enjoying it less. People in it are starting to piss me off. I prefer to play my character a certain way, it fits my image of my character. The problem is the way I play is not a min maxer build. ( From Wikipedia “Min-maxing is the practice of playing role playing game for the intent of creating the "best" character by means of minimizing undesired or unimportant traits and maximizing desired ones. This is usually accomplished by improving one specific trait or ability by sacrificing ability in all other fields.”) This also refers to stats that are randomly generated, and you keep resetting the game when you level up to get the best stats each and every level. See “powergaming”.

Basically because I have a view of my character, a style, roleplay, whatever you want to call it, I refuse to do certain things with my character. This include the use and disuse of certain weapons. Due to my choices, and me not min maxing, I am being left out of groups and runs that I would otherwise be in. Since I have played with these people for a long time, and now I am starting to be left out, it’s pissing me off. I am debating sacrificing myself for the sake of acceptance and allowance into things for the game. At that point, I might as well quit. If I cannot be me, and do what I want to, I won’t do any of it.

My girlfriend recently got into World of Warcraft ( refered to as WoW from here on ) and she is started to play it a lot. She is okay at it, typical newb, but she just started playing so she IS new. I try to help her but I need to find the right amount of “thanks for helping me” so it doesn’t turn into the “now you’re starting to annoy me”. So far I am bad at knowing where the line is drawn.

We started out playing together, but I got sick of the elf area where we were playing. I wanted to move on, but she and I started playing at odd times so we couldn’t move on easily together. She is having computer problems ( part of which is caused by someone we are letting stay with us jerking off to porn on it and getting viruses on it. More on this later. ) which is preventing us from playing together at all. I am looking for something else to occupy my time. Be it a game, activity, etc, but at the moment I am just mentally drowning and need a release. Maybe this is it.

So this guy that is staying with us. He’s 20, black ( not that that matters ) and got kicked out of his parents house. Why he is still living with his parents at 20, I have no idea. It was my girlfriend’s idea for him to stay with us, she is a kind person, I was not happy but allowed it because I know the guy.

Over a year ago I used to work at this pet shop, it was a pain in the ass and the company sucked, we went through new staff on a monthly basis. Anyways, this person worked there with me, I was his boss and he did a good enough job at first but then slacked off and was fired.

So now he’s staying with me. He keeps doing things which piss me off to no end. His phone got turned off so he uses mine, using my minutes, I “constantly” find him on my phone without permission even though I stated he HAS TO ASK to use my fucking phone. I gave him a week to get out. The week ends on 4/10. I am going to kick him out sooner if he doesn’t stop eating all my shit I want to eat and using up my minutes. He doesn’t even have money for food of his own. Which is fine, I can spare him some food, but what pisses me off is when I go to eat something specific and it’s gone EVEN THOUGH I HID IT. If not for my girlfriend, he’d of been on the street the second day.
