Well I went and picked up the Everquest Trilogy and a Everquest Game Card. I’ve been doing nothing but play Everquest since yesterday. It is slightly addictive if your into this kind of hack and slash rpg type game.

Here is a shot of my pathetic Level 5 Warrior named Raethdar:

I couldn’t get any names that I wanted. They were all taken. So my dude is Raethdar. A few time I forgot to respond to people talking to me because of my kinda gay name. I don’t really know if I dig this Everquest thing yet.

It’s kind of like how I feel about Enterprise. That new Star Trek show, that doesn’t have the words Star Trek in the title. I will be watching it tonight. I just don’t like the singing in the opening music. Time will tell if it’s any good.

Jeez it’s already October. What happened to September? Changes at the hotel continue to roll in. Nothing major that’s worth talking about here on the main page. A couple more people got fired. Monday is the start of my four days off. And I look forward to my four days off more and more. I have to go to a meeting on Tuesday at the hotel.

I’ve been playing a lot of Pool Of Radiance since I picked it up on the 28th of September. I have been having lots of fun with it. Over at the POR message boards I read how lots of people are having problems with the game. That and all of the bitching about how it doesn’t follow the 3E rules to the tee. I think it’s closer to the pen and paper version. And again I’m having lots of fun with the game.

In fact I’ve been playing this damn game so much I’m behind on my e-mail. Shit I have to get back to work.

Well my first night back is almost over. It was great getting time off. Man you can’t understand how burnt out I was after twenty two days in a row. My four days off seemed like two weeks off. It was great.

Payday was awesome. Uncle Sam didn’t hit me as hard as I had expected. I paid bills and I spent a lot of money on junk and I still have some dough left over. I picked up a few more games. I got Real War, which is based on the software the Joint Chiefs use to train their people. Real War also features the voice talents of R Lee Ermey. It’s a bit tougher than what I’m used to in a real time strategy game. It’s fun though.

I also picked up a Diablo clone called Throne Of Darkness. If you can stomach the hack and slash kind of rpg, then this one is for you. I’m waiting for a game called Pool OF Radiance. This one is a D&D 3rd Edition based game. Turn based and all that. Looks pretty slick, too. This one should be out today.

Shit second attempt at this. I accidentally unplugged the power cord. So here is the condensed version.

22nd night is over with. 23rd is the start of my 4 days off. “They” continue to fuck with the employee’s. New guy starts tonight. I don’t think I’m going let them have access to me while I’m off. That’s hard on the new guy. I want some acknowledgement from these people. That’s all I ask. Ok, and a raise. But that’s all I ask.

Ok, I do have a few demands. By these are all due to me because the Illinois Department Of Labor says so. And I have talked about the laws before. Monday morning I will be calling again.

A passionate Mr. Saddler has sounded off on the war issue in the GuestBook:

I’M READY TO GO BACK GIVE MY M-16A2 WITH AN AN-PVS4 SCOPE AND PUT ME WITHIN 1000 YARDS OF THAT LITLLE CHICKEN SHIT BASTARD…AND OUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE OVER…NO..NO BETTER YET LET ME KICK THE SHIT OUT OF HIM FOR ABOUT 10-12 HOURS…I HAVE SOME NEW KNIFE FIGHTING TECHNIQUES I WOULD LIKE TO USE…THEY ARE PRIMARLILY USED TO MAME AND SLOWLY AND PAINFULLY BREAK BONES AND CREATE SMALL CUTS IN TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS THUS CAUSING SEVERE PAIN…WELL I’LL TALK TO YOU LATER…U.S.A HOOOOOAH!

If any feds are monitoring this site, it looks like Mr. Saddler has a cure for the Bin Ladden problem.

So I get in to work tonight and I’m asked by a few people if I had turned in my two week notice to quit. First let me say this rumor wasn’t started by me. Ok? Not me. I’m serious here. This is one of those things I won’t kid about. At least not this time. Sure I’ve started this kind of rumor before. It’s a tactic. This time this is not something I won’t joke about. That is if I do give a two week notice.

I am looking for a job, I can’t deny that. This siege on the hotel by these new owners is something I can’t be a part of. They are liars. They don’t care about any of the employee’s at the hotel. These people will bring nothing good to the hotel. So far one person was let go. And a cook called in and told them he was done. So I expect more of these kinds of things to happen.

Final thing here. This is night 19. Payday was supposed to be on this Friday. But because of the shuffling of owners we will not get payed until Monday. What can you do?

So you know I dig DVD’s, right? Well I love the extra footage, the commentary, and the hidden features are really cool. With the country on the verge of war and coincidently enough the hotel under “hostile takeover” I have decided to have my own little hidden feature.

This may be me driving into the other side of the road, the part of the road that is geekiness. But it’s my site. It’s the kind of shit I wrote back in the day. Comparable to the whole wanting to get fired stuff (Wanting To Get Fired-Part One, Wanting To Get Fired-Part Two, Wanting To Get Fired-Part Three).

Before you think “he’s lost it again” don’t worry. I’m not worried. It’s cool. I whipped up a resume and will be seeking something else. What I don’t know. The thought about maybe hitting some of the isp’s around my area has entered my noggin. Jvlnet, the guys I use need a support person. So we will see. It’s going to be a very weird couple of months, at work and in the world.
