Nerdiness of Nic

I had a random guy at work start talking to me about how Obama is a member of the Illuminati and how there are all these secret cures for cancer and other deadly diseases that only high ranking members of our government have access to. Also that Obama-care is an attempt to get the genetic code of everyone in our country. I zoned out while he was telling me why they want everyone's genetic code though. Funny thing is, he didn't look crazy really. Mostly he looked like an aging hippie. This is mostly due to the scraggly long hair past his shoulders and tie dye shirt.

Things like this are why I continue to perversely love working customer service jobs.

Colorado: Honey by Mariah Carey

Colorado: Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing by Chris Isaak

Random MP3: Bulletproof by La Roux

My job as a medical investigator often has me placed on hold and while I'm on hold I listen to a variety of songs. I figured that I would start posting once a week with mp3s people can download of the songs I was placed on hold with. Here's a few to get started.

North Carolina: The Tide Is High by Blondie

California: Copacabana by Barry Manilow

Colorado: Star Wars Imperial March

Colorado: Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel

Texas: The Winner Takes It All by Abba

Rhode Island: You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette

Tennessee: Walk On Water by Ozzy Osbourne

Florida: Everlasting Love by Gloria Estefan

The job that I've been waiting on? The government contracted one? The one with the endless FBI background check? I got in contact with the Defense Logistics Agency and they completed both of my background checks. One in December the other in the start of January. So today I call Alutiiq and ask what's up with my job. My contact there has been transferred and the lady says she'll get back to me when she figured it out.

No call after five hours so I call her. Guess what? MY JOB NO LONGER EXISTS. I've waited months and months for a job that I can no longer have and I've turned down other jobs in the process!

Overall I tend to be someone who doesn't dwell on the shitty things in life. I don't think it serves any purpose to be that way but this? This I think I'll dwell on for awhile. I just... my life sucks so hard right now... and I hate it. I really fucking hate it and to lesser extent I sort of hate myself too.

I've always hated tests. Throughout most of elementary, junior high, and high school I was horrible at them. I was something of an apathetic student to tell the truth and my parents only vaguely punished me for my bad grades. I say vaguely because I know I was punished for them but it made so much of an impression on me that I remember absolutely none if it as an adult.

Although I do recall tossing my report card down the sewer in a perverse attempt to keep my mom from finding out I had gotten three failing grades when I was in fifth grade. Somehow my brilliant plan didn't quite work out. It's the whole us having phones and her not buying it when I told her we weren't getting grade cards for for that particular grading quarter or whatever the hell they called it back then.

The saga of my federal government contracted data processing job continues. I've finally got all my appropriate forms sent out and now I must wait for my FBI background check to be completed. Which, according to the helpful woman at the Defense Logistics Agency, should take: "75 days give or take 2 weeks. It really depends on the person."

Oh joy.

That led to my agony of testing today at one of the largest temp agencies in the area. They're really well known and quite good and I'm happy to be getting temporary work to tide over my money woes until the government can determine it's safe to give me missile launch codes but as stated I fucking HATE tests and I fail big time at taking them. Yet today I was besieged with them. Thirteen to be exact.

Testing what? Testing secretarial skills, testing Word skills, testing Excel skills, testing Data Entry time, testing Typing time, testing oh my fucking god they're testing my sanity! I just want a job working at an office for three months for the love of Zombie Jeebus!

I scored well generally but I fucked up really bad on some stuff. Apparently my phone instincts as a receptionist is subpar. Wonderful. Here's what gets me... they test all these obscure fucking things in the various software programs but nowhere can you test for the ability to learn which sounds lame and of course but dude, everywhere I work I run into artards who can't fucking learn how to do shit! If I don't know something I possess the magical ability to look up how to do it on my own and then do it without bothering anyone about how the fuck. I consider this a rare and valuable skill and I want to be tested on it and get credit for finally getting a good grade on something in my life.

Randomly I decided to download the OVA for Shoujo Sect and it did cheer me up. It's funny. I really like the manga. It's brainless fluffy porn if such a thing exists and the sex, although at time lesbian sister incestuous, is strangely wholesome and harmless to me. Except when it ends up being forced by an asshole sempai who gets assaulted with a fire extinguisher as punishment but dude, the OVA? Not that at all.

I'm a huge sad fan of the porn star Misty Mundae who does many a hilarious bad b-movie parody porn movie. I proudly display her movies and many other similar erotic films in my collection. Never felt perverted for doing this. That being said...

Watching the Shoujo Sect OVA made me feel perverted. It's that bad. It's nothing shocking or graphic. I mean, their pussies are blurred out and they're doing standard lesbian sex acts I've done countless times myself but my god, what the hell? The sex is so ridiculous and stupid and just... not even quality bad amusing. Watching it I realized it's a nice example of guys desperate to fap off to something and they've settled on what is the fastest anime torrent to download. Maybe I found it embarrassing because it's animated? I'm not sure. There's no people involved so only pixels were degraded in making it. I did find it embarrassing to watch though. Plus boring. And weird. How is sex boring and weird? It was though! You must see for yourself. It's like an animated lesbian sex wreck.

But you know, I'll probably download the second episode. lol. I'm sad like that. Perverted too, one supposes.

Someone keeps breaking into the stores in the strip mall I work out. So far they've hit the wine store three times and the small meals to go shop once. They broke into my store last night but didn't take anything. At the close of work today the wine store alarm went off and my boss called the cops. They apparently tried getting in again.

The burglars are going in through the air ventilation ducts of our building.

Needless to say this is yet another thing that causes me to really want to move onto another retail company. I find it especially weird this is happening where I work since it's one of the most upscale areas of St. Louis.
