• bullet STORM!

  again, we get to split from the stalag early. our line was down most of the night, so all (but one) of us got farmed out to the off site warehouse, that oddly enough stores hundreds and hundreds of boxes of our lines parts. we all start wondering why the big push with stories of air lifting parts to our customer, "...costing us millions", when we got tons of parts parked here in storage (?!)  anyway, we do some quality inspecting on parts that the line next to us had run the day before. it was gravy time killing work.  total hours for last night: 6 3/4 hours.  short week indeed, but I don't mind. rent and bills are taken care of, so it's all golden.  we'll prob'ly have a short week next week as well in order to transition into an 8 hour day (cool!).  after that it's up in the air...will we work 5, 6, or 7-8's?  who knows?  I don't know how anyone with babysitters can figure out this new schedule out without knowing? 

  I stop off to the gas station for a sixer of Centennial IPA (founder's), then split for home to play some PS3. I'm totally stuck at a certain spot without ammo within the game called 'bullet storm', so I completely start over and realize, I was going nowhere on the first try due to not upgrading my weaponry along the way.  this game is awesome! I must have played from 1:30am to 9am blowing away monster bosses, and finding creative ways to kill baddies (yep, you get upgrade points for creative deaths including drop kicking a baddy into a cactus, "leashing" a baddy into an electric fence, or shooting 'em in the crotch).  big fun with big guns!!  the graphics on this game are amazing! at one point you have this ginormous "death wheel" spinning out of control toward you as you ride away from it on the rails.  you got to shoot the helicopters that fling mines your way, and blow up machine gun equipped dune buggies to escape.  big fun! another part, you get to control a gigantic mechanical "Godzilla" like monster.  you also have control of where the monster looks to aim his laser beam shooting eyes killing baddies left and right (did I mention "big fun?!").  about 7 (+/-) hours and six beers later, I turn the now smoking PS3 off, and take us a pooperdog walk, then sleep....now I gotta put the laptop down and clean this dump (ready, GO!)
