Murder is still illegal, right? …damn.

Well internets, it is Tuesday and what a fine and glorious day it is today! [end sarcasm] So, apparently, having (or growing) a moustache in any other month apart from November is a serious crime and opens you up to ridicule from all parties. Seriously, if one more person asks me if I’m getting ready for Movember or tells me it’s the wrong months, I will fucking full on headbutt them. Right in the face. Yes, it is September, yes, November is two months away. No, I am not growing a moustache for Movember, because it is bloody September. No I am not getting ready for Movember. If I were getting ready for Movember, it would probably be the end of October and I would be shaving, not growing. Jebes Christ people, grow some fucking brain cells. One dumbass today asked me if I was misinformed about what month it was. Obviously, trying to be a smart-arse about Movember and the fact that I have a moustache. I told her politely that it was September. And next month was October! I then walked away before I lost self control and swore profusely at them. Oh, and if one more person tells me I have a porn mo’, I will inflict violence upon them so that they can never have kids. I. DO. NOT. HAVE. A. PORN. MOUSTACHE. 70’s porn stars had porn mo’s. Freddy Mercury had a porn mo. I have a moustache that is a cross between Snidely Whiplash and your old school circus Strongman. Very, very different. Sometimes I really hate the human race. I wish I was an eagle. Or a crocodile. Or a dinosaur! Dinosaurs are awesome!  : D

In other news, I have been playing the shit out of Diablo 3 again. The new patch, 2.1, and all the included stuff with it, Greater Rifts, the Treasure Vault, etc, has rekindled by passion for D3 – even with all the RNG on top of RNG with some RNG on the side and a sprinkling of RNG. That said, seeing those green and orange beans light up my screen brings a feeling of excitement. Sometimes, when I’m alone and in town, I drop a legendary on the ground just to see that orange beam and hear that ‘zing’ sound. After farming for several days, I finally managed to kill a treasure goblin who opened a portal to Greed’s Domain. Oh boy did I love it! So much gold! So much detail! So much atmosphere! So much gold! Did I mention all the gold? The tileset is extremely well done, with the background having little goblins running around, dumping treasure and hopping in and out of portals, stealing gold. And the music! Oh, what beautiful music it was. A type of circus sideshow organ cross haunting merry-go-round theme that fit brilliantly. Long short of it is, it’s fantastic, well worth the grind and I would love to get there again, even if it is just only to sit there and listen to the music.   : P

Also, I’m deciding whether or not to buy a virtual ticket for this year’s Blizzcon. Truth be told, I’ll probably end up doing it, but the in-game goodies don’t quite tickle my fancy as much this year. The D3 transmoggable weapons – i swear someone mixed up the crusader and barbarian ones. Giving the barb a big fuck off hammer and the crusader a primal looking jaw and tooth mace? Seems to me it should be the other way around.

Well anyway internets, back to the daily slog. Maybe I can make it to the end of the make, maybe I’ll end up in gaol for assault, who knows?   >.>

“IT department, have you turned it off then on again?”

I want to quit my job, I really do. I’ll be honest, I won’t be climbing up the ladder, there is no ladder, it’s just a stool with one step. Maybe two steps if you really push it. So yeah, no advancing there. The pay is mediocre and the shite I have to deal with varies at time; from tools and douche bags to full blown assholes and mouth-breathers that don’t know what a button is (seriously, you press it to turn the PC on, ain’t rocket science). On the upsides, it is close to home, so no long drives and occasionally I can have lunch at home. The hours are not too bad, Mon-Fri and pretty much business hours and a fair whack of time I spend amusing myself. The guys I do work with a awesome and we get along pretty damn well. So, in short, dead end job . Why don’t I just quit? Would if I could – trust me! I could give my notice then never look back…but…bills need to be paid and mortgages need to be pacified. I need another job to go to before I leave this one. That’s the hitch – I have no idea what I want to do, just as long as it’s not IT, or perhaps IT with less people interaction, eg, not helpdesk.   -____-

Sure, there is a good sized puddle of self pity that I am standing in, but who doesn’t get that from time to time. All around my pity puddle is green grass that I occasionally jump onto from time to time. Change the metaphorical gumboots (or wellingtons/galoshes, depending on where you live) and feel the grass underneath my bare feet. That aside, I do feel a little daunted by the job market these days where you need experience to get experience which is a conundrum on its own. Or a little bit of paper that states you’re not a dumbass and should be employed by the employer. So much bullcrap these days. Oh, to be young again and waltz into a place and declare your willingness to be employed and have a job handed to you. Probably a slight rose-tinted layer on my nostalgia glasses, but I don’t think anyone will care.

Anyway internets, with that done, I am back playing D3 and enjoying leveling my new seasonal crusader. Loot 2.1 is working nicely for me so far and I have had quite a few legendaries drop for me so far. The changes are good and I fully intend to play my crusader until the season end.

Have fun and ciao for now.   : )
