I'm making the mistake of judging the new Slipknot album while playing my Warlock.
For anyone that plays WoW, a Warlock, once properly geared (like mine is), is AN ABSOLUTE GOD in the game. It's not uncommon to have arrogant players attack me thinking I'm an easy kill. Those chumps usually end their life face down in the mud with me, at nearly full health, roaring my pleasure at their demise for all to hear.
So obviously I'm kinda in the mood for energetic music. Thanks Ryan, you goat. I also got the new B.B. King album and the new Theory Of A Deadman. I expect each of those to deal a solid amount of ass kicking.
Today I had a decent day at work. I've been getting further and further behind due to the disparity of workload between the first and second half of my shift. I can get a proper quantity of work done in the first half, but the second half is almost pure calls, which usually all end in new cases for my backlog, and none of my existing cases getting the attention needed to keep my case load from incrementing. We honestly need at least 2 more people to cover the second half of my shift and bring balance to the Force... err... I mean... make my job easier.
If you didn't get that last quote, watch more Star Wars.
But the last call I took was fun. It was for a problem with a tape drive, and the company was in Scotland. The cool part was that the person who opened the case was a woman. I'm a sucker for any GB accent, and a Scottish accent is nigh perfect IMO. And her voice was about as cute as a mortal could achieve. Add to all this that I was able to make her laugh on call made me feel like I'm less of a loser than I really am.
It's little things like that which can easily make my day or even make my week.

You're not a loser. There's an IT dude at ADP that has a South African accent (I think you've been there, but for everyone else, I think it sounds like a mix between Australian and British). While sometimes our quirky systems and applications have me so frustrated I end up crying in front of coworkers and threatening to quit, sometimes I call IT instead. And if I'm lucky, the guy with the accent will get my call and calm me down and make everything better. So, if you're a loser, then I don't know what that makes me.
Also, yes, Ryan that goat! Such a goat!
Shirley Manson loves you. All Scottish women do. It's a shame their all so far away.
That would be they're, not their. Sorry. Tired.
I worked with a guy that was from South Africa, and I love that accent. Not quite Australian, and not quite New Zealand. I bet it's a lot of fun to hear from a member of the opposite sex.
