At work today, a mass email went around announcing a baby shower for one of my coworkers. In addition to mentioning when, where, and what food was gonna be involved, the email said something else that I misread the first time and my mind supplemented what it said. Apparently you can register at certain places that you’re expecting a baby, I guess? Well, the email said: “[blahblahblah], she’s registered at Target.” And what I read was: “[blahblahblah], she’s a registered target.” My mind had just enough time for the names “Sean Rose” and “Akka” to float by before I realized why that didn’t make sense and to re-read the sentence to understand my mistake. Good grief.
I have never agreed with the idea of gift registries (to include Amazon wishlists). If I am going to go through the trouble of getting someone a gift, it will be something that I think they would like and want them to have. If all I care about is buying something off their list of recommended gifts, I’ll just give them cash and let them go out and buy it.
Yeah, I’ll stay over there as long as there is work for me and it’s not like I’ll be on my own. I’ll be staying with an uncle and a friend of his. No luck of finding a decent job in my city and it’s not worth living in a different city when rent is high yet salaries are so low.
My wife is amazing, I don’t know how she does it sometimes. I know I’m smarter than most people, but it’s usually just useless trivia that has no practical usage on a day to day basis. The Mrs has knowledge on how to get things done. We just got a notice today, dated more than two weeks ago, that our homeowner’s insurance had been dropped because of corporate greed fuckery, and in the space of only a few hours, had gone through several options and got us set up with a new insurance company on a better deal than we had before for both our house and our vehicles. Now, I could also have eventually gotten this done, but it probably would have taken a few days as I spend hours just researching and then carefully navigating the options, uncertain if I’m making the right choices. My wife, however, got it done in an afternoon, all the while annoyed as hell at the situation. She might as well have the Infinity Stones, because she handled it all in a snap.
Just came back from my holiday in Blackpool. Just spent the weekend there, it was good. The Pleasure Beach is always a great time, especially since they finally finished their refurbishment of the water ride Valhalla so got to go on that twice and get absolutely soaked. Also went into the Blackpool Tower for the first time, that was fun, you get a great view. And saw a fireworks display last night. Pretty good. Just a shame that so much of Blackpool just looks run down. Even the street right behind the big Promenade has lots of buildings that look like they need severe maintenance, if not need to be torn down entirely.
First world problem time: I’m looking forward to Persona 3 Reload, as I’ve posted about it before. I want to buy the special edition of the game. Special edition has been available and already sold out in places like Japan and the USA. In the UK though, they’ve still yet to list the thing anywhere and no news about when it might be listed, or if it will be exclusive to one retailer. (I believe it has been exclusive to Amazon in some places.) The UK chain GAME tends to often get exclusivity to sell special editions of video game in the UK, so might wind up there. Just annoying really, I’m checking several websites a few times a day for something that is likely to sell out quickly and I just don’t want to miss out. And the game comes out in 4 and a half months so no idea how this nonsense will last.
Been feeling really good recently. Work has been great, breaking alot of revenue records and been getting praise from the higher ups which is motivating. In return I’ve been motivating my team to reduce waste and to have daily revenue goals. Things are looking good and I’ve been told I have a promising future if I keep up the work.
In other work related news, we have a VIP event this Friday which I am heading the bartending side of it. I’ll be dressed in more formal clothing for it which I will be providing pictures of in the forum gallery. Some Swangthe(not so)ugly eye candy for everyone soon enough.
Lastly. Vacation next week. I’m super excited for it and have a few things I wanna bring back with me after the week is through. I’ll be posting pictures gradually throughout the week.
Took an L today. Before you read this - I didn’t get the memo that IOI shut down the location carryover and that it’s only the progress that’s getting transferred.
So what happened is - I downloaded Hitman 2 with all the DLC content that I had on Steam, linked it to the IOI account, commenced the carryover to the Hitman 3/World of Assassination on Epic in hopes of getting Bank and Haven. Not only did I not get the locations, I also effectively wiped out all of my 300-hour progress on H3. All maxed out locations, 80 lvl Freelancer Mastery, all EArcades, plenty of unlocks from escalations and FCs, 5 ETs completed with SA - all gone
The moral of the story is to read the manual first
@Swangtheugly I had zero progress on that H2 account I just wanted to get the locations but as turned out it hasn’t been possible since the WoA release, so I’m gonna have to buy the Access Pass for H3 for the missing content. Tbh I’m not too worried or mad, totally my mistake, and everything I’ve lost I will unlock again eventually.
Big Yikes, I think that’s the one reason a lot of people waited a year for HITMAN 3 to avoid this particular thing. If you choose a platform it’s best to commit to it. In this case you thought you could merge your locations but disregarded you can’t merge with pre existing progress, but you completely wiped H3 progress in favor for your H2 progress which sucks.
Hopefully you had exclusive limited unlocks like the ICA Coin and Black Winter Suit to at least make it more worth while kinda. And hopefully you have all the ET Suits too.
Had my first proper driving lesson today.
By nature I’m too demanding to myself even if I understand that it’s only the beginning, but I always think that I should do better.
Anyway, I’m glad I’ve taken it, and rode couple of circles around the real block with real traffic and so on.
Instructor said that I performed fantastically well as for the first time ever behind the wheel, though I’m not too happy about it. I know the more I ride the better it will be and strictly speaking I’m quite satisfied of how I did.
At least everybody is alive and all cars are unharmed
What sort of work will you be doing if you don´t mind me asking?
