There goes the weekend!

The latest incarnation of the Final Fantasy series comes out today: Final Fantasy 12.

Other than Final Fantasy 11 (I refuse to play a MMORPG) and the new Final Fantasy 3 for the DS (the Japanese version that never made it to the US back in the day – *drool*), I believe I have every release* of the Final Fantasy games made.

Yee-haw!!

I start the new job (JP2, for those of you interested) on Monday the 13th. I decided to take the more challenging job at the law firm and I can’t wait to begin.

The best part is that instead of them matching the salary, I’m getting a “signing bonus” instead. Who gets those, other than professional ball players? Heh.

Fingers crossed! Continue reading

Fonts are FUN!

In lieu of any news on the job front to report, I direct you to this article:

America’s Most Fonted: The 7 Worst Fonts

Quote: “It drives me insane when people use really heavy script fonts to add a ‘personal touch’ to their e-mail signatures–like, ‘Look! It’s like I really signed it! Even though it’s on a computer!’ Hey, wow. You’re pretty clever.”

The whole thing made me chuckle so hard I snorted. That garnered a few looks! Heh. Continue reading

It's come down to this…

I truly hate the management at my job. Let me count the ways…

  1. My opinions aren’t important.
  2. Any issues that are brought up are either 1) ignored or 2) trivialized like I’m some horrible employee who loves to stir up the “drama”.

I could go on, but I’m sure you get the picture. It’s exhausting and it’s bullshit.
