I work in business-to-business CS so while I'm not dealing with the billions of calls a day, these tips are still applicable if you work with CS at your job. Truthfully, knowing what you want and being polite is pretty much the top two for me. If I have to sit on the phone/do a giant email thread to get you to…

Just like how people here at work go to Giants games on weekdays and "work" the whole time.

XIII-2 wasn't that bad so I'm slightly optimistic for this. Prolly won't get it immediately but it seems like they're kinda trying. Though I think I liked XIII-2 mostly for the vastly improved leveling system and being able to play Serah as derpily as possible.

Well, Jimmy, maybe you should have stayed in your goddamn wheelchair!

Sonic stuff for a buck on iOS? Tempting... I don't think I can play them, but tempting.

My job is 100% dependent on other people. Most of the time that's the schedule they work anyway since they're salaried and don't even come into the office. Yet I'm here 8:30-5.

XIII barely had any money too. You farmed most of it from drops by soldiers in one specific area or sold off the useless junk you had. But I guess if the world's ending you wouldn't really need to hoard any gil...

It's like the end of an old Scooby-Doo episode. Microsoft's yelling, "We woulda gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!" while the laugh track booms.

Meanwhile, here in Fremont we're building a new beauty supply store instead. Take that, MLB!

It's something posted on our holiday list so I'm waiting for them to actually tell us if that's going to be the case.

Or your company tells you, "Save x-vacation hours if you want to be paid for y-time we'll be closed." Nothing says the company cares like when they decide how to spend your vacation days (that they're as stingy as possible about as it is).

Yeah, that does suck. I guess that's also why I thought it wasn't on Mac. It wasn't on Steam where I usually look to see if there's anything I'd want. Oh well!

Oh wow, thank you! Guess this is what happens when you never check that thing.

I guess scanlations in China are better than here? It's torture to read scanlations of bigger name titles here in 'Murrica. I used to buy the graphic novel releases of stuff but it just got too expensive and thus I had to turn to scanlations. Though since I can read Japanese I've considered just looking for raws…

I see it happening less now, but it always puzzled me why developers would release a game on iOS but not OSX. It was always mobile/PC and maybe console. If you're your doing one i-system you should try 'n do 'em all!

Say what ya will about ole Sailor Moon. Naoko Takeuchi was told to make a series about girls fighting in sailor suits so she made a manga where girls in sailor suits fight Eldritch abominations and unspeakable horrors. And they looked fabulous while doing so.

I've tried meditation in the past and it just made me want to take a nap.

Already considered that. Just made me even more depressed and my answer was a shrug and wondering if I'd be able to still live at home or end up a bum in a trash bin.

I could go for a Dr. Pepper and a Housewives marathon right about now.

I sit at the front desk so I don't have much space for anything. I have some Squidward toy someone gave me from their lunch but that's about it. Though all the clutter from the paperwork I have to hold on to could be considered some sort of modern art, right?
