If you haven't noticed, my online time has been greatly decreased due to a hectic work schedule, combined with a hectic class schedule.
Typically, I work one job on Saturdays at a banquet hall. But as the holiday season approaches, they have been getting more and more business, so I have had to work there more and more. We only have a few employees, so basically if you have any available time to work, you have to, otherwise the function will not go well. A few weeks back, I worked a 16 hour shift, from 10am to 2am. Thankfully, we all got a raise, and the job is fun when it isn't stressful. On the other side, I will be working New Years.
I also have another job, working at a movie theatre. I only work about 25 hours a week there, but it eats up most of my nights. The only downside is that it is open every day of the year, without holiday pay. I worked thanksgiving, which wasn't a big deal because I was able to eat plently of turkey and work at night. I looked at the time off book to request christmas parties off, and I noticed that the day before, day of, and day after christmas has already been requested by most employees, so it looks like I will be working those days. This isn't a big deal with me, because as long as I can get the days that I need off for family parties, which aren't on those days, then I will be fine.
And yes, a lot of people go to the movies on Christmas.
And yes, as soon as it snows I will have a third job. I live up on a hill with three other older neighbors, and I recently purchased a truck with a plow on it. When it snows, I will be plowing the entire hill, earning roughly $75. The only downside to this, is that the snow is unpredictable. I can see my schedule as follows: up at 5am to plow; at class for 745am; going back home to plow again; going to work. It sure will be fun (sarcasm)
Ghost- student, banquet server, movie theater worker, snow plower. Say that 5 times fast.
Last night was a very stressful night for PHXX. We had an OGL match scheduled for 9pm on de_dust2 and a CAL match that our scheduler foolishly scheduled on the same night at 10pm (<---- I'm the CAL scheduler)
We were all stressed, and unsure if we would have enough for both scrims. Thankfully, we had ample people show up for both, so that was one stress to cross off the list.
For the first scrim, the team was Reject, Tribit, Evil, Colt, and myself It was a good scrim, but we ended up beating the team 23-3 (OGL does 13 round halfs)
The second was the big one, CAL match on de_inferno. The team was Reject, Tribit, Wolf, Dr!fter, and myself. It was tricky, but we worked together perfectly to destroy the team, 29-1. Eventually you could tell the other team gave up because they were buying auto-snipers (a site never seen in any leagues) but we still took them down. You know we all did great when I was on the bottom of the team list on terrorist side, with a score of 12-3.
So it was a great night all around for PHXX, and I hope we can continue our dominance in OGL, CAL, and eventually the Spawnpoint Ladders :)
