Yo, long time no update!

Been a little crazy recently, and havn’t had much time where I’ve been able to just sit down, write, or do other general stuff.

Heck, take a look at the IRC stats, my lines per day for this month are way down, to non existent! So I figured I would go through a bunch of different things.

First thing I’ll talk about is another rant about drivers.
Specifically drivers of big cars. No, I’m not talking 4×4’s. I’m talking 4×4’s, Van’s, station wagons.

Now, I know some people need vehicles like that, but for the love of God, can you PLEASE learn how to drive them. So many people seem to have trouble reversing out of a car park with them.

This isn’t a case of me ranting about people in big cars without driving them myself. I drive both a Ford EB, and a Volkswagen Van (an old early ’90’s white tank thing). And I have no issues throwing them around Frankston city, or other small road places. I can also park, and get out of parks, regardless of size and position fine with both of my vehicles.

Oh and that brings me to another thing about cars. 90% of 4×4 owners shit me. Now I know that some people actual use 4×4’s for what they were designed for. Going off road. And I know some people have 6+ kids for some mental reason.

What shits me is the amount of people I see driving them, who will never take them off-road, and will never have more than 2 kids in the car.

Its stupid, a big 4×4 doesn’t make you safe, infact most 4×4’s have safety ratings lower than alot of small cars (go check www.howsafeisyourcar.com.au).
When on the train back from Bittern about 12 months ago, someone was sitting accross from me, talking to a friend about their cars (yes I was listening in, I was bored). She was talking about how, on a farm, they just drive about the in their station wagon, but when they go into the city they take the 4×4 “because its just safer”.

It took all my self control to not yell “No! Its less safe, you just clog up the streats with your big arsed car like you take up all the seat with your big arse! I hope a truck hits you so you can see how unsafe it is!”

Anyway, enough about cars.

Games time!

I’ve started playing a tonne of Fallout 3. I did try the game out a little bit ago, and I was just treating it as an on-rails shooter, and quit shortly after nuking Megaton.
Recently, after learning a bunch of cool stuff that you can do in it, I reinstalled it to give it another shot. And oh my God, I’m having so much fun (yet somehow, even after disarming the bomb in Megaton instead, I’ve still got a negative karma).
But my oh my, what an awesome game.

Now, I know I’ve ranted about Quake Live before, but that game is just pure Gold, unless you play it as much as The Muffin. Hes over it now, but if you see how many games hes been playing a day for the past 2 weeks, thats understandable. Mental. I mean, I love the game, but maybe 1 or 2 duels, and a few CA games is enough for me a day (can’t stand being in one thing for too long).

Life / Work

As you may have guessed from my last post, stupid professionals shit me.
I’ve been doing some office and network maintenance work for a local company who have just opened, and my God, working with the “communications experts” (read guys who install phone’s with multiple lines, and that’s it), is an absolute nightmare.
They have no freakin’ idea what the hell is going on with everyone else, and enjoy getting in the way of everything.
I wans’t the only one pissed at them, the new buisness owners were pissed off too.

Oh, and then there are the people who work for them. They seem to deliberatly go out of their way to break everything.
No, I’m not going to give you permision to install ANOTHER photo editing program, ONE is enough. No, I’m not going to let you change the clock to a different time zone so you know when to call your boy friend, why? BECAUSE YOU ARE AT WORK.
Oh, and PLEASE stop pulling cables out the back of the computer and leaving them out, I really hate going under that desk. Yes, you can do this, this and this, no you can’t access your bosses private files, please jump into a fire and DIE.
