Hero Machine

Heres a nice little flash palette for making superheros.

I made one.

GAYMAN! and his sidekick the giant gerbil.

I work from 12-8 tonight.

Im not sure if I like it...So far it feels pretty weird. I got up at 9:30, took a shower and now am feeling bad for the people working the normal 8-5 shift. I wonder if I just shouldnt go in?

NAH!

Ill go in at 12 after I pick up some lunchy-poo.

I do hope I read the schedule right though. :^/

You hear a clicking sound.

This is a bunch of wav files and sound mappings for nethack.

Im 1st line today so I hope to have alittle time to download some other sounds and add to the mappings. If I can find a good .wav to associate with "you hear someone cursing shoplifters" Ill be happy.

if anybody wants to record a wav file and email it to me saying something like "gull darn rattin frattin shoplifters!" then please do so.

If not maybe Ill do it myself and post it here.

And dont forget!
"you hear a sound reminiscent of an elephant stepping on a peanut."

I had an idea over the weekend.


An ice cream scoop with an electric heating element inside it. Nobody makes one. I couldnt find one anywhere on the internet to buy so what I was thinking was I would build one. I was pricing out parts and it looks like I can build one for about 30 bucks. Ill need a soldering iron and a solid iron ice scoop I can machine out and put a screwable connector on(Ill need a screw on piece on the soldering iron too.

But when Im done its gonna be pure ice cream scooping heaven.

Details to follow.

I think Im coming to the conclusion that my job is too stressfull.

I like helping people. I like figuring stuff out. I like seeing all the different people everyday. I like working with computers.

What I dont like is coming home and worrying about work all night...About this or that or the other thing that I need to get done. I dont like the clock stricking 10 everynight and me feeling all achey and nasty from my eyeballs down to my toenails. I dont like having to sit in a hot shower for an hour so that I can relax enough to goto sleep.

And thats they way its been lately.

My boss says to just not get stressed out about it. Im not sure I can do that. I want to help ALL the people ALL the time. I dont want to tell people "I dont have time" or "come back later and maybe I will have time to get to it", I dont think thats fair to them and it stresses me out to tell them that. It makes me unhappy.

Someone once told me that the company should provide the tools I need to do my job.

They are not.

Sigh

Thanks, Bye.

I think the worst way to save the day is by giving a child an enema.

That totally sucks...I dont know why anyone becomes a nurse.

Work Sucks. Too busy.

Heres a low quality copy of "Waiting for the Fire"

My interpretation is that life sucks and they are waiting for nuclear armageddon, However I guess you could say they are waiting to die and goto hell too.

Your Call.

I had cheeseburgers for dinner last night.

Ever since then my hands smell like cheeseburgers! Ive washed them 50 times. I even used hot water and soap. Nothing is getting rid of it.

Its driving me crazy! Crazy burger smell...

Hey, Do you smell burgers?

This daylight savings stuff is murder.

I am passing out at like 10:30! And I got kids up and wandering the house at 5:30 waking me up, almost getting clunked in the head because I think they are burglers in my sleepy stupor.

Also its dark when I get off work. And its just barely light when Im leaving.

I hate winter...And daylight savings time. We didnt have that stupid crap when I lived in AZ.

:^P
