If you’re reading this it means that you’ve reached the new page. “main.php”. The reason why its not “main.html” anymore is so that the counter on the comment system works correctly. I hope this won’t confuse to many people. I’ll send you all an email explaining this more. But anyway, the comment system is working, mainly due to my bordom. I’ll republish the archives soon and then change the style of the comment window around. Enjoy… and test out the comment system please, I want to make sure it’s working. Later.
Current mood: Techie

Test.

Well, today was work. It was, well, work. It was borring and long, as work tends to be. My boss returned from 3 days off to find that I was yet again the only one to have any sales whatsoever (in systems, game doctors, anything) and that I was the only one to actually have done work while he was gone. Truth be told, when I’m at work I have a tendency to get bored, and when I get bored I have a tendency to find something to do. For instance, on Tuesday I sold two Game Doctors, 4 PS2s, 3 GBAs, rearranged 3 cases of games, cleaned the back room and did the pre-owns. And that was just because I had nothing better to do. Whatever. Their are a few employees that aren’t pulling their weight, but mostly I’m not alone in my activities. There are only one or two slackers, but they slack so completely that it makes the rest of us, especially me, look good. And I really don’t care. In other news, Chris has been keeping himself busy at work and around town. I just wish I didn’t have to work nights all the time. Maybe I could actually hang out with the one friend that won’t be here next year. Hopefully, Chris is off to bigger and better things and won’t be returning to Milford next summer. So, with him only having 11 days of work left and us having not seen a single RedSox game yet, I find it saddening that my very good friend will be leaving so soon. But, on a brighter note, at least his video card shipped (which means I can buy his old one…hehehe) and that coupled with his new monitor, should give him plenty to play with for the last few days of summer. Speaking of friends, its been perticulary refreshing to hang out with Chip on occasion, usually just to grab a cup of coffee after I get off work, but at least it’s something. I’m very disappointed in the way my schedule has worked out this summer. I get stuck with the shitty days and usually a lot of nights. I hate working nights. Speaking of nights, tomorrow is Friday and I have the night off. At some point I have to drive to Saugus to my grandparents house to get the new car. At what time of day that will be I have no idea. I’d also like to go to Avalon with Chris or see a movie with Chip. I don’t know what I’ll have time for. I’m going to play it by ear and do things as they happen, so, please, neither of you (chip or chris) be disappointed if I can’t make plans tomorrow. I don’t know what my time table will be yet. Ok, and lastly, I found a comment system that uses PHP and/or CGI. Look for that in the future, don’t worry, I’ll let you know when I install it. Later.
Current mood: This one.

Well, todays been semi-interesting, I’ve played lots of No One Lives Forever (it’s really pretty good) and made a few phone calls. I had to call SCAD since they want me to send copies of my W2s and Tax Return, which don’t exist. I Telefilled and they won’t accept a print-out version of my return. So I called to find out what I should do and of course no one is there. The Financial Aid office at SCAD is the most slack-ass, incompetent bunch of people I’ve ever seen. They work a total of 2 days a week during the summer, never return phone calls and are generally clueless when you finally get a hold of them. But, I’ve know this for years and have to put up with it. So, I left a message and hopefully someone will get back to me. After that I called the cable company to see how much cable modems were. Come to find out that they’re not offered in my area yet. Arg. In other news, there’s a new possible car I could be driving back to school. An older electrician van (otherwise known as shaggin-waggon style) has come to my attention. My neighbor wants to get rid of it. Theres absolutely nothing “wrong” with it but it’s very very basic. No power anything, no radio, no AC, etc. The radio problem I can solve, but the rest… I dunno. But still, it’s an option. I could defiantly get more stuff back to school in it. Well, thats about it for today. I’ve got to work again tomorrow but I have Friday and Sunday off, I close on Saturday. We’re BBQ’in on the grill tonight, so I’ve got to go do that, somehow I’ve become the only one able to cook meat. Go figure. Later.
Current mood: Gaming (ie: busy)

Yippeeee!!!! Newbury Comics isn’t dead, merely moved. The music store of legends simply packed up and moved across the street to higher and larger digs. The clothing store is still going in, and is owned by Newburys, but will be a seperate entity. Yah! This makes me very happy, and my wallet very very sad. In other news, I got a copy of No One Lives Forever. A nifty first person shooter with some style and class. Other than that I’m just gonna kick back and relax today. I’ve got the day off and no plans or places I need to be. I’m going to go sleep in now. Later.
Current mood: happy
