Aside from my lame excuse of trying to make the title of this blog sound and look Latin, let me tell you what's been going on lately.
I managed to grab a wireless adapter for by 360. About time really, and thanks to horseyjesse for letting me know about how much cheaper it was online at amazon. Managed to save almost $25. I placed the order on Wednesday and was surprised to see it arrive yesterday. So now I can finally play online.
I also picked up Borderlands. So if anyone wants to play, just let out a shout and I'll try to make it considering both my work schedule and sleep schedule, and Amazing Race schedule
.
Finally, somehow I got signed up for Delta Skymiles. Not sure how or why, but I am now a member. The last time I flew on Delta was...three years ago? Something around that time. So yeah. Maybe someone's telling me I should fly to Cincinnati (which is a Delta hub for some odd and insane reason). Or maybe they're desperate. Either way, I got signed up for free! Free stuff is awesome!
---------------------------------------------------------------
Work is going to keep me busy what with 80 hours the next two weeks. It's a massive paycheck, but still. Six days, 80 hours of dealing with people's problems. Oh joy. But you gotta love it when an old lady calls in pissed off that she didn't realize she needed to order a size larger in bras and decided to rant about how poor the J.C. Penney Corporation is to me for ten minutes. She also mentioned that the pictures of models wearing bras in the catalogs was misleading. Yes. Misleading was her choice of words.
On a serious note, I do believe she was frustrated due to time passing her by. She was confused by using the internet and the change in technology in ordering nowadays. I saw this in her refusal in me helping her in anyway to address the matter. Oh well, at least it wasn't a prank call which I received earlier that day.

Technophobia is perfectly natural amongst older people (and even amongst some younger ones for that matter). The world moves so fast these days, it's almost impossible just to stand still. We buy our mobile phones and flatscreen TVs, and then six months later we're upgrading them to bigger and better models. You can't stand in the path of progress, but it makes you wonder how long it can all keep going.

Cool online play is awesome. You'll probably get a lot more time out of some of your games now.

If I wasn't sick, I'd have around 50 hours per week so, I understand your crazyness. I deal with lots and lots of old ladies everyday, lol.

@katamari: But I don't have any Skymiles at the moment .
@gbrading: It'll keep on happening, unfortunately for the older folks. The best thing that can happen is if someone were to actually show the older people how each system works, especially the internet. It won't fix the problem, but it'll help it.
@hank_101: I'll certainly get more time. Now I just need to get online!
@Allicrombie: When you do hit me up for some coop.
When will that be?
@PJ24: And cell-shaded as well.
@OmegaAxl: That's unfortunate. Borderlands is a great game so far.
@Travo_basic: Yep it's Buster8unny. I'll send you a pm.
@clownofpoetry: 50 hours a week eh? The only good thing about Penney's is that they can't give you more than 40 hrs a week.

@Yagr_Zero - you saved $25? how much is it normally, about $100 right? why didn''t you just get an absurdly long cable and get online that way? you probably would've saved more that way.

@cfamgcn: You need to find more time for online!
@War_Fox: The modem's too far away from the console. Over 200 ft if you're wondering.
