Re: Open Bar: RECOMMENDABLE

Just got my first paid writing assignment.

Of course, I actually have to write it, and it's not for a huge sum ("beer money" would probably be appropriate...though beer nowadays isn't exactly cheap), but just for the moment, I'm going to enjoy the simple fact of promised pay.

Oh, I forgot to mention...I haven't had a real cigarette in almost a month. Just the e-cig and while I know that's still not exactly good for me, I can already feel a difference in my lungs. Plus I am saving SO much money.

That is awesome, ECH!

You win, though.

Also, Barry Honington, you say?

The Buddhists were right? People come back?

Todd Bryce is my new persona online. He's a really real Objectivist and Vegan.

Ah. Ok.


Bastard, next time this happens send me a message that says, hey it's Bear, or something like that.

Approval about to happen.

I approved him right away. Then he 'liked' a bunch of my shit and posted "I'm so lonely" on his profile and I kind of went "ewwwwwww".

Well played, Bearman.

OK, video up.  Please like, subscribe, not use AdBlock when viewing my video and, most of all, enjoy.

Interesting. So fast! I can hardly keep track of whats happening.

Also, others have said as much, but you could bottle and sell that voice of yours.

It's basic horde survival mode.  10 rounds, with steadily increasing enemy spawns.  Round 3, 6 and 10 have objectives, which can be assassination, recovering items, activating nodes, an escort mission or being restricted to a hack zone.  Failure to complete objectives cause the mission to fail.

I'm really honestly not that great.  There are players out there who can get 20 headshots before 25 kills and solo Gold with a level 1 character with a pistol. I am a mere dilettante when compared to them.  Plus Reapers are slow and stupid.  Their only advantage is Brutes and Banshees can execute players, and this is easily countered by standing on stairs (when you're at a different elevation, the animation doesn't work).  Ravagers are dumb beasts, cannibals are easily distracted by killing one of their own, husks are weaker than swarmers and Marauders, while admittedly somewhat deadly in groups, are easily dispatched from range.

The game also gives you lots of options for dealing with armor.  Biotic explosions and incendiary attacks (whether ammo or powers like inferno grenades and flamer) get bonus damage on armor, and pretty much every player now knows you take armor-penetrating mods on weapons, because at the highest levels they can negate up to 90% of the damage mitigation.  With a powerful weapon, like the Hurricane SMG and the right ammo (like in this video) armor just gets ripped to shreds.

But thank you.

Personal bitching ahead: please feel free to ignore.

I was an ogre to my co-worker today.
...It was unwarranted in this instance, as he didn't lie on the time sheet *IN THIS INSTANCE*...well, only by 5 minutes...
I had to apologize to him.
But I don't feel really bad about it...probably should, and don't...

...He's (a) been actively rude to me for pretty much my whole stay here, and (b) he arrives late EVERY day, and (c) he often lies about his arrival time on his time sheet and states he was here on time or close to.
If it were just 5 minutes this would not be worth a fight, but we're talking 20 to 40 minute discrepancies here. 

I  now make two printouts of my shift report, one to take with me.  At one point he was altering time on that too. Altering a legal document.
Due to the schedule change he now cannot get away with altering my time on the time sheet by virtue of me being the one that faxes said sheet off, but I don't fill it out in advance, because it'd get "fixed."

...He views me as messy.
  I don't think I'm messy...well here.  No crumbs on the floor, all trash in the trash, empty trash when full.
I'm not a slob on the job.

But unlike him...I don't hose the front desk with lysol, put the trashcan as far away from the desk as possible. I don't empty the trash unless it's actually full. I don't run the vacuum. I do not rub every surface in the front desk area down with lysol wipes.  I do not then spray the entire area with lysol.
This cleaning ritual takes him over an hour.
...And then he runs the vacuum again when he goes off shift and/or repeats the entire sequence.
I *honestly* think he'd go through this hour-and-a-half OCD cleaning ritual no matter HOW sanitary I was, if for no other reason than to sanitize my presence out of the area.  You'd think I showed up stanky...No. 

...He does little passive aggressive, and covert-aggressive things to get back at me...for what I'm not sure, but it probably involves both the OCD thing AND the time thing.
Most just annoying, like making me wait outside the gate for a couple of minutes while I'm hitting the buzzer and he knows it's me
Something I don't do to him.

The worst thing he's done was hose the front desk area with ladies' perfume, after I left a note asking him, politely, to try to show up on time.
He knows I have asthma, the perfume made me sick 3 days running.
After that incident I make sure to park my car in line of sight, because I just don't know, you know?

I know I'm being like a fucking five-year-old: "HE STARTED IT!"
It's stupid of me, it's not the sort of person I want to be. 
I haven't been meditating, either; that's bad. 

I'd feel guiltier, but the bastard's gonna do something.  I know he is.

Somebody knows good writing when they see it. Yeah!

It's not bad for you either, in any measurable way.  I haven't had actual tobacco since September, and I don't miss it even a tiny bit.

Welcome to the life (although, to be honest, I haven't been paid for a written word in more than a year).  Writing for money, no matter what kind of writing it is, has a level of truly enjoyable gutter mentality that cannot be provided by even the best drugs on the market. 

Congratulations.

Holy shit YESS!

Think real bugs would be better...but yeah. 

...Chilled roaches. Crickets would be easier, but chilled roaches would have a better impact.
