First of all, can't believe I haven't posted here in a few months...
I picked up a couple of cool black lights for my DJ business., and have had a few weddings and other parties since.
Started having some problems with my main computer's mother board, and had to get a new one, so my computer was 'blue screening' and resetting randomly. I'm sorry if there was anyone who happened to message me during that time. It took me a while to figure out what the real problem was, so the motherboard is actually on order, and isn't installed yet, so computer does still reset occasionally.
I finished making my master chief costume in time that I could of worn it for Halloween if I had wanted to. They had a dress up day at work a couple of days before Halloween, so I decided to go as a ninja, complete with full battle armor (real armor) hand gauntlets, lower leg protectors, chest/back piece and a katana strapped to my back. I had just clocked in at work, and was walking up to the front of the place to have my picture taken, when one of the 'special needs' people that works there was walking my way, he took one look at me and ran away... Turns out he thought I was there to rob the place, he tried to go hide... felt kinda bad after I found out what had happened, apologized to him the next day. There was a 100$ first prize, but I found out your costume made NO DIFFERENCE on winning, its just a popularity contest, and aparently only wearing a costume for the picture was good enough, even though it was just a BK king mask...
3 weeks ago last friday I was sitting at my computer desk minding my own business... I shifted my weight on my chair so I could be a little more comfortable, and the stupid chair went out from under me (its one of those very stable 5 leg rolling chairs) I landed on part of one of the legs with my full weight and ended up getting a hairline fracture on my tailbone out of the whole thing. Yes it was quite painful for the first couple of weeks.
Starting to get fustrated at my boss at work, he jumps to conclusions far to easily, refuses to change his mind afterwards 95% of the time, has forgotten how to say the words "I'm Sorry" and is wrong AT LEAST 1/3 of the time he jumps to conclusions. He gets irritated if people question him, and out right agitated if you confront him to his face about it, so most people just bite their tongue, and take whatever blame he is throwing at them. I don't always hear things correctly when I am concentrating on doing something else and someone suddenly says something to me (I kind of got used to blocking things out, and by brain sometimes 'fills in the gaps...) This for some reason gets my boss irritated at me... he doesn't like repeating himself...
Most recently Anime Nebraskon http://www.animenebraskon.com was this last weekend. November 16-18, I've helped with running various parts of it for 4 years now. Last year and this year I brought my DJ equipment for the dance, several tv's and game consoles for the game room, and various snack supplies for the volunteers and staff. Friday's dance went over very well, but Saturday I found out that my subwoofer was acting up... I was helping do sound for our cosplay contest, and one of the groups had gone over time, one of them was using one of my wireless microphones, and slammed it hard down onto the stage(threw it down not dropped it, I watched as it bounced a couple of times), that night I was using that same microphone and found out that it was damaged and didn't work as well anymore...
I'm getting a little fed up with UNL's Union though...
The Convention went over very well, a big increase in attendees from last year, and this is most likely the last time we will be in the Union. Last year's attendance was around 625, this year it was 905. The Union is on UNL (University of Nebraska at Lincoln) college campus, its a centralized location for several businesses, student organizations and gatherings, its a very large building.
Friday I had eaten 2 breakfast sandwiches around 10:30am just before I left Columbus to goto the convention, I grabbed a 5 hour energy drink around 9pm (just as the dance was starting), realized as I was about ready to goto sleep, that I hadn't eaten anything really all day, but I had drank plenty of water. Saturday I got a chance to eat Chinese at around noon, and short of the energy drink I had just before the dance started, I hadn't had anything but water for the rest of the day. Sunday I had a breakfast sandwich from McDonalds, a glass of OJ and a hash brown, but around 9pmish we met at at LazLo's (however its spelled). I took off today as well as a rest and recoup day, as well as an unpacking day. I started off the whole weekend with an extra day off for 'packing' so I wasn't rushed at all, and had plenty of time to get my stuff around.
My aunt is in the hospital right now, she went in there Thursday night of last week. She has smoked for years, and within the last year or so had quit. She has what is called 'smokers lung' significantly reduced efficiency lungs, and had to goto the hospital as a result of complications, but she is scheduled for release tomorrow. Were having Thanksgiving at my parents place for the 1st time that I can even remember, its ALWAYS been at my aunts place, but Christmas (I will never use the terms Holiday gathering) at my parents, with the exception of once or twice it was at one of my sister's.
Well, short of a few boring details, that's what has happened since my last post, take care.
