Errand in Texas more than 100% successful.  I got what my boss wanted, then the smarmy little sales fuck from the vendor tries to get me drunk over Thai food and turn the tables on me (Thai food twice in one day - I had also gone out with a friend, earlier - is a form of heaven, even in Dallas).

Fortunately, I have some experience in these matters.  90% of the alcohol put in front of me wound up on the floor and/or the planter next to me by one discreet means or another, and dickhead more or less passes out trying to keep up with what must have LOOKED like some man with an iron liver.  By the end, he was trying to drink me under the table because he's a Sales Guy with Perfect Teeth and I am some sort of lower hominid who lacks even a basic MBA.

But because I wasn't actually drinking, that wasn't possible.  I "helped" him "outside to get a cab" (the Thai dude was HAPPY to see the loudmouth go), but he passed out completely just as we got out the door, so I accidentally left him in a dumpster between the Thai joint and the off-stadium sports bar next door, with the (unsigned) "contract revision" stuffed down the back of his pants.

I am becoming a little concerned that this job is having an effect on me, and not for the better.

I seem to be a bad person when given situations in which bad behavior is permitted, or is in fact the best possible course of action.

Call it "pragmatism" or "utility maximization", and you'll be ADMIRED for it.

I am already "admired" for it.  Our division CEO refers to me as "one-man reality TV".

Thanks to Mike's incompetence, I must now spend 3 weeks in July in Dallas.

So my schedule looks something like this:

June 12-14 Portland
July 6-30 Dallas
August 7-14 Houston
September or October, Germany for 6 weeks.
Florida in there somewhere.
Boston again at some point.

Tomorrow is busy day.
The boy is getting a new bed thanks to my parents not needing their spare anymore. This means that we have to take apart the old one.
Everything needs to come off it and find a new place to live (it's one of those beds that the head and foot have built in shelves) and whatever's been trapped under it gets to see light again before getting stuffed somewhere.

Hopefully parents will be able to stay a bit after delivering the bed. Always nice when they visit.

First post from my new computer! Yay it is assembled, installed, and working!
This deserves a celebratory drink! This round is on me!

Please PD, tell me a game to play to test the limits of this bad boy.

Preferred type?
RPG or Strategy.
But I wouldn't mind a shooter if it is taxing enough.

You only get 3 days in Portland, and THREE FUCKING WEEKS in Dallas?

Crysis 3.

The Crytek engine is a piece of shit, and if you can get, say, 40 FPS at the maximum graphics settings, you know you've got a damn fine machine.

Mistake.  Fly in Wednesday night or Thursday morning.  Fly out Sunday.
