Figuring out something.

Achievement: replaced my kitchen faucet, twice. Lesson learned: don't buy a cheap Glacier Bay faucet, just spend the 60 to 100 bucks on something decent instead.

Beating the living shit out of Barbarossa in VP:Lenneth

Damn I love this game so much

Second as well.

But early in the game Barbarossa is a seriously overpowered bastard, best bet would be killing him in a single turn cuz he can seriously damage you. Lucky me I have what it takes

Finishing my weekly assignments on Monday night.

However there's still midterms, advance-studying, other assignments and labs to do..

Finally, finally, finally managed to finish Persona 4. That last boss (in the true ending - Izanami no Okami) is hard as nails, I've lost count of how many times I've tried to beat her and failed. Even after resorting to using cheats to give my whole party infinite health and SP, it still took several attempts to kill her. All because of this one stupid insta-kill attack she has.

It's an amazing game though. I'd forgotten just how good some of the classic PS2 RPGs really are.

If you're into that kind of thing, I suppose...

And what was wrong with the controls? Seemed fine to me, and I was using an Xbox pad to play it. PS2 games always feel much more natural to play with a proper dualshock controller.

It's Izanami. Izanami is female. You know, her and her brother Izanagi stood on the bridge of heaven and stirred the waters of the earth with a spear, then they had sex and gave birth to the islands of Japan, or however it goes. The Shinto creation story. And it's definitely supposed to be her (at least in some kind of semi-metaphorical way), because you win that final battle by summoning the persona Izanagi and using his power to defeat her.

That, and her form was definitely female in the game up until that point. In the final battle, it's her "true form", which only appears after you use the orb of truth to reveal it.

Ah, fair enough. My PS2 controller is about 6-7 years old now, and still working fine, but maybe you're just unlucky.

Weirdness oozing from that story.

Surprisingly they managed to finish their work yesterday (no doubt after hours) so that I could do mine today.
I'm already done and delivered their hard ~10 hours work from yesterday within 2 and half hours, fixing some of their mistakes along the way.

Congrats group, the report is delivered. With my opinion.
This time I shall not deliver the thunder of reprimands the same day, I shall wait for the response from the higher ups about the report

What do you even do?

(click to show/hide)

Good old planning work on a local scale and reporting the results, also reporting how my subordinates are handling their work. My predecessor failed and I even know why, I can understand being soft but that has limits, these guys are a bunch of lazy fucks.

Generally this office's work is to monitor sales and devise solutions and plans on how to possibly increase sales.
We cooperate with Marketing to prepare a better sales plan.

But today, until around 11:30, they were pretty much gossiping and doing nothing. Then they started working fast cuz they realized they had a lot of work and there won't be enough time.

I'm not staying overtime but I know they do. My work is depending on what they do, and how fast they can work. They know very well that I need their reports to do 50% of my paperwork, I will not stay overtime just because they are late, every late paperwork that is not sent before 4pm is being noted in my daily reports to my boss.

I'm currently not able to punish their lazy behavior but I'm not going to be held responsible for anything at this rate because I am not yet in my full position to do anything so any changes will come from higher ups. Starting next month I am going to take over more responsibilities and I will be in position to reprimand and eventually fire someone.

And my boss knows about the situation at the office and he is not pleased. He had problems with my predecessor "spoiling" them too much and this is the result. These people have the proper training, schools and experience, and just got lazy.

I bet that tomorrow on my desk there will be a pile of documents and no one to deal with them because I have planned doctors visit, bank visit, marketing office to visit and talk things over, I have to visit another office as well and pick a few things as well. So NO ONE will deal with the documents that were supposed to be done today, and they can't do it because only I have the password to the program for it.

Guess who is going to take the blame ?

XD

Good that I don't need to pick up phones tomorrow cuz I won't do it

I'll be busy tomorrow for around 6 hours:)

It will be the day they will rue what they sow

New achievement: My PC lives, breathes hard as expected when something not alive starts to adjust to atmosphere and air, here wondering if it tries to breathe oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen or CO2 ...

technically I think the CPU won't live much longer.

Why is this an achievement ?
Athlon XP2 5000+ Dual Core bought in 2004, Overclocked in 2005 and cleaned regularly from dust with compressed air.
Runs all games and progs that pretty much could use a better or newer CPU, like Games at high settings and often encoding of videos. 10 years is quite a long time I'd say for a CPU
