Nov. 1st, 2007 12:34 amSo I must start by saying that a phrase I said will be soon to come to a bad fanfic near you has already been said by Stephen Colbert on his second night back from being away..."Dumbeldore's Flaming Wand".
I have a new monitor. It's a 22" LCD widescreen. It's pretty. It makes things look pretty. I have to use an odd aspect ratio setting so that things on the screen are not skewed, and it's higher than the 800x600 I'm used to, so I have to get used to things a bit different sized now. The wallpaper is now always gonna be skewed as long as I keep the "Stretch" option on. I'll hafta slap black borders around my favourites and look around da nets for widescreen wallpapers.
Working P.#36 is over...completely. Evie found out about 4pm that a Commissionaire will be showing up for the 11pm shift. So I at least got off early so I could get home better. I was expecting a ride home from the boss when he came for the gear, but the gear was already gone when I showed up. I lose another hour from my pittiful schedule, but I got home with ease. I was also lucky that I was the one to do the last shift there. They were handing out Halloween candy and I got some swag :) (sorry). I gave a final handshake to Doug, Gil, and Evelyn, and was off. I have no idea where the Hot Potato is going.
I also did another blasphemous thing in the name of slim hope. I bought the Transformers 2-disc spec. ed. DVD. I'm hoping the commentary and special ed features on the 2nd disc will be hours of Michael Bay apologizing and people torturing him...but I'm sure it'll be all him gloating about how well his masterpiece is and how he catered to the fans oh so well.
