Also, thanks for the support. I dont really hate my job itself, just the fuckers who always skip out of work for months, and the constant shuffling around of people which means no stability and having to work extra. Since I am salaried, this pretty much gives them free reign to fuck me over with work hours. Once we get back to more night workers, which is actually beginning to happen, then I get my 7/7 schedule back which means a week of working AND ONE FULL FUCKING WEEK OF NOT HAVING TO DO JACK SHIT. So really, this job is pretty cool when everybody is doing their part, and its really fucking shitty when somebody lags and drags everybody down. I can deal with the craziness at night, but having worked so many extra hours lately, I am fucking exhausted. even when I get a full amount of sleep I still wake up tired and not my best. Eventually that starts to show up in our work too. We have to manage 200 trucks at night. Its not something you can sleepwalk through.

That free week must be like finding the promised land. Of moe.
It ISSSSSSSSSSSS.
Plus I can then go out to the good restaurants with family and watch football and anime and hang out here and just generally do whatever the fuck I want to for a full week with absolutely no interruptions from work. It really is fucking amazing when we have it.
Damn I feel that pain. Unreliable co-workers are the absolute fucking worst. That one week off sounds like paradise.

Note that really fucking cute yet inaccessible image on top. I want that background. can someone work technical magic and workaround that download blocker and get that image for me? Its a really pretty piece of art.

About 10 minutes.

The picture itself is baked into the website layout, but I'm sure you can crop out whatever parts you want with Photoshop or something.

Technically it would be the longest span of time you've slept.

Knight in the Area 01:
If it keeps up this pace, this could be my show of the season. I already love the setup. Two brothers, one who's worshiped by all, the other resigned to live under his shadow, but secretly practices at night by himself. Enter a lady blast-from-the-past who reminds him of when he played soccer with his brother, and the flame starts to burn again.
The character who most impressed me however was the older brother, who in my favorite scene gets supremely pissed at his younger brother's running away and excuse making. He can't stand that the brother he used to love to play soccer with has quit because he refuses to show everyone the weakness of his left leg (presumably injured in such a way that he can't fully lift/extend it or something). And then at the end, forces his hand by forcefully putting him on the subteam anyway.
While there's total NTR potential with Seven and the two brothers (I'm not too big on NTR unless I really despise a character like Shu from Guilty Crown), the show has all of the elements of a great show, despite the fact that I kept thinking throughout "So, it's basically 'Touch' but with baseball swapped out with soccer,"
Looking forward to next week.
Yeah, I have co-workers like that I can't stand. >>;

No magic, just the good-old fashioned keyboard shortcut CTRL+U to view the page source. Ain't no way to block that with Javascript... that I know of, at least.

It symbolizes being swept up in an incredible, inescapable storm of cute and moe. Don't fear it, EMBRACE IT.
(like I'm one to talk to you about that...)Yeah I tried viewing the source but they blocked right click altogether.
I was trying to remember the shortcut.

Work keeps me pretty busy, but now that humanity has bestowed smartphones on us all, I have access to hnnngh at any time!
But usually, I am too busy to even eat. I make food and it gets cold by the time I get to it. Just part of the job. Its really something that only certain people could stand to do. IA lot of pressure and quick thinking required. I wanted to challenge myself to prove that I could do it, and ten years I have been there, so I must be doing things right.

Night managing gasoline tanker trucks (18 wheelers). Its more hands on because I have to control how much fuel each store is getting and when the loads go. I have to make sure the load fits and that the stores dont run out and I have to keep drivers busy through their whole shift. I also have to handle emergencies and answer customer questions and supply issues all night. It is constant stress. 3 of us handle 200 trucks and 14 truck terminals.
I use to work at a poorly managed, low paying IT support desk so dealing with the computer illiterate was bad enough without having to manage the extra bullshit left over from unreliable, lazy as fuck co-workers. That shit tends to build up until you can't mentally take it any-more. Since then I have a lot of empathy with people who work in call centres, even tele-marketers. :<
Well for example, the one guy I hate always puts his phone on hold, goes outr to eat for over an hour during the busiest times, constantly lies about where hes going, takes a lot of days off for "personal reasons, has been out "sick" for over a month, and consistantly justp isses off everyone in the entire company. On top of that he drags his personal drama into the workplace. I really fucking hate him.
Dude, you aint kidding. When I get a call from a telemarketer I tell them that I know they have a job to do but Im not interested but thanks for the call. then I hang up as politely as possible. Having to be on a phone constantly is a royal pain in the ass. Most of the drivers tell me they couldnt be paid enough to come in the dispatch center and do what I do. Its just such a high pressure constantly evolving job. But I like that about it. I am NEVER bored.

I hate the main character and his friends. Everything else is great though.
Zessho - What's the proper name for this? I have no idea what I should be calling it.
Anyway, what? The best chick, why? I liked her, but no, rejected!
I don't like the music infecting every part of the show, mainly because I don't like the music.
The main chick is fine, and those two transformation scenes were awesome.
This should be fun.
The Beast, so sexy.

Agent AIka - 4.5
A fanservice episode of a fanservice anime, so it should have enough fanservice but for some reason the panty-count was pretty low.
You know while fan service in anime is quite wide spread, Star Trek predates it.
Damn, i'm feeling way too jittery thanks to the black coffee. 
Yeah, one of the small benefits that comes with a call centre job are really memorable calls. The best call I ever had was a 3-hour call with this Philipino dude about issues with his crappy modem. Whilst trying to work out what the hell was wrong with it, we spent most of the time talking shit about movies and music whilst waiting for his slow piece of crap modem to reboot so I could telnet into the CLI, or the really stoned old dude who played Pink Floyd's DSotM in the background. That shit kinda owned. Saying that I really wouldn't recommend getting a job in customer support if you want to keep your sanity intact (or retail for that manner given the stories i've heard). I'm so glad those days are behind me.

Edit allows you to avoid all this double posting!
I don't work in a call centre but I do take a lot of calls daily, most of which I can do nothing with because they've called us thinking we know something that we don't. The strangest one I had was some old guy asking directions to a funeral.

It's not even like they're doing it on purpose, they just don't think. I highlighted this earlier when I was talking about Red Garden.
