So Nebraska got crushed by Missouri, Cubs got swept...again, Packers lost by the narrowest of margins, the economy sucks, I got rent and bills to pay, I don't get paid till friday and my car has issues. Other than that life is good. Obama is kicking McCain's ass so bad that McCain is resorting to the same failed strategy that lost Hilary the nomination. I have gotten into a game called Travian and have spent a lot of time travianing in the last week or so. I belong to the Apocalypse Now alliance on Travian US 1, which is pretty cool, and I started an alliance on Travian Com 1 called Rogues. all-in-all it is pretty good. What sucks is I have to wait to get my comics till friday when I get paid.
Oh well, see you next time my non-existent readers.

worst case scenario
Today just happened to be the worst case scenario that is possible in the course my job. The day started out pretty benign, went to Monkey Works to get new comics, several were pretty good especially Star Wars Legacy which was the beginning of the Legacy vector tie-in, and the ending of vector will happen soon which should be awesome (I try not to include spoilers).
After that, I went to work and was having a good day even after the Cubs game started. First inning went fairly well, they even scored two runs to take a 2-0 lead. Top of the second, Dempster walked the bases loaded with 2 outs and managed to strike out the remaining batter, that made me hopeful that things were going to be fine. Then the fifth rolled around, Dempster had walked the bases loaded again, when the sky collapsed and all hope died. As soon as that hit left the bat, I had to pull over for a minute and swear.
DEMPSTER FUCKING GAVE UP A GRAND FUCKING SLAM!
That was the beginning of the end as far as destiny was concerned. After I got back from my delivery, I had to endure all of the shit that my coworkers were giving me. Whats worse, is there were a lot of dishes that had built up while I was gone, so all there was to do was to wash dishes and listen to all of the score updates and shit everyone kept giving me. Around the seventh inning, I switched to my rally cap, and prayed a lot for a comeback, but it was all pointless as I had to listen to the Cubs piss away homefield advantage.
As I was finishing up the last of my dishes, the phone rang and it was a delivery order with five minutes left till close. My manager came back and asked me if I wanted to take it. I said no repeatedly and my manager said to take it anyway, which makes it ready ten minutes after close, and when I took the delivery, the person only tipped me a dollar (which is the most commen and one of smallest tips consdered acceptable) and I had to listen to sports radio assholes screaming about the Dodgers "inevitable" sweep of the Cubs while I was driving. The only realistic thing that could have made things worse, was for me to get pulled over for speeding and the resulting ticket gets me fired. When all was said and done, I only had seven deliveries and left with only $18 after delivering for six hours.
Here's hoping for a Chi-town comeback and the final dropping of "losers" following "lovable"
