Sorry it’s been so dreadfully dead here… If anyone is still reading my Thingie, I’d be shocked… I am Teh Worst Blogger Evaaaaar!!!!!! Seriously, I get distracted way too easily… Here are a few highlights from the last several weeks (In reverse order since it’s easier that way)…
I started playing this kick-ass on-line multi=player game thing… It’s called The Dead Awaken and it’s a zombie vs humans game… pretty simple and no downloads or anything… You can be either a zombie or a human and you can buy weapons and armor… Humans and Zombies use different equipment… Humans use weapons ranging from a Broken Bottle to cool stuff like an Improvised Flame Thrower and armor ranging from Sunglasses to Riot Gear… Zombies use weapons like a Coin-Filled Sock all the way up to Dynamite… The Zombie armor ranges from an Eyepatch to Plate Mail…
You can do fun stuff like dig up graves at the graveyard and explore the abandoned portions of the mall… If you want, you can get into fights with other real players, though the interaction is limited to clicking on their name and clicking “Attack”… You can train up on various skills and attributes and stuff like that… The games currency is dollars, but the REAL power is through collecting heads and earning hearts… You collect heads via the Graveyard and the Mall and you can earn hearts by visiting marketing websites or donating…
Anyhoo, it’s a lot of fun and I can play it at the mall job, so that helps pass the time there… The nice thing is, you are limited to how much you can do in a day by your stamina so it forces you to take 2 or 3 hours breaks, which is nice… I am still a sucky n00b, but I’m trying *grin* If you click on the link in this entry or on the link under “Pimping” you can get me some referral credits, but no pressure *grin*
Speaking of the mall job, apparently I am doing a pretty good job of being a valuable team member… My ability to be a concierge AND a salesperson is putting me in good stead with the manager plus it gets me the bonuses for warranty sales and stuff… Scary thing is, if my store makes its various goals every quarter, the store bonuses add up to over $1000 per person (though as a part-timer, I may not get as much as other people)
There’s some other stuff going on, but I think I’ll save that for another post…

I don’t know how you do it — I remember when I was working 12-16 hour days for only a month or so, and I had no reserves & was wound all-too-tightly by the time my schedule was back to something more normal. Don’t run yourself ragged! *hugs* (And I still have pressies for you…)
You? Easily distracted? Say it ain’t… oooh, shiny!
If you were so easily distracted then my billion phone calls to you would pull you away from whatever hearstopping zombie game you are playing to get you to write in your thingie!
Oh wait… I did get you out here didn’t I? :p
