Hey, Lovecraft died in 1937, you think that's what the 3-7 is for on that comic or it's just a coincedance. See, my numerology religion DOES come in handy... 8)

Must be something in the air, work-wise. About two weeks ago one of our veteran high-ranking fingerprint specialists was arrested RIGHT in front of me at work. He apparently tried to rape this ex-homeless girl who was renting an apt in one of his buildings. You'd never know, he always seemed super nice. But after they took him away (his bail was like $150k!!!) a bunch of ladies at work have been "yeah, he's pretty fuckin' sleazy with the backrubs, etc." Just like Jon's co-worker!

| Seriously?

She really answered like that? Wow.. Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Maybe she mistook you for her therapist.

On a related note, I am not sure why people seem to think OCD is a good characteristic to bring up when interviewing. True OCD is frightening and is disruptive, not really something an employer looks for. Detail oriented = good. OCD = Risky.

Art, that was hilarious.

Speaking of random work stuff from yesterday..

I was interviewing this woman and I asked her some standard questions, one of which was "If you had to describe yourself to a complete stranger in 2-3 words, which would they be?" Her responses:

1. Anxious
2. OCD
3. Vulnerable

SWEET! JUST THE CANDIDATE WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!

| random work shit from yesterday

1. In the morning I had a meeting with my team in one of the small conference rooms. We turned on the projector and immediately the people sitting near its exhaust fan (including me) were bathed in the smell of weed. This wasn't something that smelled kind of like weed: it was weed. Why the projector exhaust was emitting eau de weed I have no idea, but I reported it to facilities, mentioning in the report that the last people to use the room had been in Marketing.

2. A new electrical engineer started a few days ago. He looks like Alan Alda when he started going gray but with more sunken features. The EE is not on our team, but he comes over fairly often to drop off or pick up hardware that he needs to fix or adjust. Anyway, a girl who works for me was sitting at her desk working when all of a sudden she was shocked to feel hands kneading her shoulders. She thinks, "There are, like, three people that this would be OK, and none of them work here." So she turns around and who should it be but this Alan Alda-looking motherfucker who she barely knows! She got through the conversation quickly with a general creepy-crawly feeling.

It's going to be fun to see what HR does to this guy, he richly deserves whatever punishment he gets.

Well, my money's on the PSP, since those are generally better. But who knows?

But my real opinion is, you should buy the xbox version!

And an xbox!

And a live account!

For a game that isn't even out yet and will be out who knows when!

But yeah, the turn-based option is what made me say "cool." I learned about it at penny-arcade, and the quote they had was so good I'll just repost it: "If you're not familiar, let me have the honor: Blood Bowl is a board game that combines football with fucking murder, marbled together like a choice cut."

No dude. Watch the trailer again. It is turn based like the board game. I am WAY excited about it. It may actually inspire me to buy a non-baseball game for my PSP. Any news as to if PSP will be better or worse than DS format?

| Hmmm...

Real time Blood bowel, eh? While it looks sufficiently BB goofy, I wonder how the game plays. I suspect, it will be a fantasy themed Madden NFL, sort of losing the quirky goodness of the BB gameplay. Only time will tell.

I want a Mega Deef shirt. That would be teh sweetness, but no hand sized letters.

I am so glad the weekend has arrived. Feels good to have a week behind. Well off to the kitchen for me. Taco night tonight.

| awww so sad

I'm @ the bowling alley and this fat teenybooper (no so "teeeny") has a megadeth shirt on but its so big I had to read it as:

| Sweet!
