My day
16 years ago
... was pretty interesting, really.
It begins at about 3:00 AM, partially because I'm an idiot, and partially because Scribblenauts is an awesome game.
For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Scribblenauts sees you as Maxwell, a funny looking little guy in a 'rooster hat' with the power to generate objects from words. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like:
If you type 'car,' a car you can drive will appear.
If you type 'tiger,' a tiger will appear and try to eat you.
If you type 'mech,' a giant armorsuit that you can ride and shoot with will appear.
If you type 'boomstick,' then, yes, you will see a shotgun. The developers had a great sense of humor.
It's a very fun game. I think my favorite event so far has been the time I was trying to find a way to get a bee out of my way, and accidentally summoned some kind of pirate ship. Not wanting to waste a perfectly good galleon, I simply dropped it on top of the bee, trapping it.
Like I said. Very fun game.
ANYWAY! I was playing Scribblenauts at 3:00 AM, and I looked at the clock, and just kind of said, "well, ****. My 5:45 AM shift today is going to suck."
I woke up a little bit rushed, naturally, but my stomach also felt kind of woozy. I didn't have time to get/make anything I felt like eating, but I didn't want to skip breakfast, so I ended up just snacking on some pistachios and almonds I had handy.
At work, my stomach didn't really settle very much, for obvious reasons. When I got to my lunch break, I knew any kind of meat or sauce or cheese would probably go down hard, so I just walked to a nearby Acme and got a cucumber. That was my lunch. It was surprisingly delicious and stomach-calming.
Literally about five minutes before the end of my lunch break, though, I finally got a call back from a guy I'd interviewed with last week. He informed me that he'd given his people the OK to offer me a job- a real programming job, over at the Aberdeen military base. It's a government job, so the background checks and paperwork will take up to four months to clear, but hey- I've finally got something in my industry lined up!
I called up my immediate family to notify them, then ran back and clocked in and finished out the day.
I got off at 2:45, and proceeded to go home and sleep, to help make up for the 'only 2 hours of rest last night' thing. I had a real meal for the first time all day, and am currently eating dessert: oatmeal, brown sugar, and chocolate chips.
I've got a very strange diet.
In summation: Scribblenauts is awesome, and if you have a Nintendo DS, you should try it out. I also will be getting a job, soon.
One more thing: expect a rather... large upload before the first of October.
Hm... Maybe I shouldn't write journals while sleep-deprived.
EDIT: That rather... large upload is going to be somewhat delayed... Okay, somewhat more delayed. Sorry.

Looking forward to that large upload too.
