I've lost my jop before for the exact same reason.

I just drew the maps for the AFMBE campaign.  I closed Maptool, saving the maps as I went, and it simply said "Can't save, access denied" and closed anyway, losing all my work.

>:c

Zombies? What happened to Deathwatch, or is that iron still in the fire?

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

So, I had to email one of my bosses today. Turns out, I had been added to another team without being contacted about it first. I had to gently remind him that I'll already be working 7 days a week for their parent company, going to school, and having a family.
Whoa, that's quite a load you're carrying. What do you work in?

I'm a non-commissioned sales rep. Currently, I'm part of the HP, Ooma, Adobe and now Tivo brands. I go into retail stores, teach employees about computers and stuff, take inventory levels (sometimes), and help them sell stuff. If I'm lucky, the employees and customers actually give a crap about what I have to say. Most days, I am not so lucky. All this, and I don't have to worry about sales numbers. I was hand picked by HP to move to six days a week because of the increase of sales in my stores, and then my boss (from the parent company) begged me to take on a day at a second store to help out the guy I trained to go into that store.

Everyone recoiled from that iron like I was waving a gnarled tree-monster's dick at them so I moved on.  I might heat it up again some time though.

Bleh.

I can't concentrate today because I'm too gosh-darned energetic, and the feng shui of my bedroom is so hilariously bad.  That, and English class is coming... harrumph?

If my mother weren't home, I'd probably run around the house shouting: "Raaaaaaaaaugh!"  Maybe I'd use 8 a's, though, instead of 9.  More stylish.

You could tell her how you're feeling via interpretive dance. That's always good for a laugh.

I think she'd just go: "Vector, why are you doing your giant squid imitation again?"

Looks like you'll have to do it in a different way. Think to yourself, "Am I a giant squid? No, I'm a roving secant, ready to cut through circles like a samurai through a tank."

We should get Barbarossa to do interpretive dance, and upload it here. That'd be hilarious!

I really have to do something about my bed blocking the door to my room, because it's driving me super-crazy.  Proactivity-tiems :I

That doesn't sound fun.

Eh, they were sitting belittling her and generally being dicks, so I stood up for her, at which point they started screaming about me 'talking back to them in their house' Then Yumi started shouting at them, her mother started crying, her dad grabbed her, I, perhaps slightly foolishly, kicked him and was backhanded across the face, at which point we left, her mother the ran to the door and screamed 'cheap lesbian sluts' at us, and Yumi very nearly went back and smacked her one, she then fired my phone at us and slammed the door. so, yeah, they haven't seen their daughter in two years, and when she finally goes to visit them, they start a riot...
