This is a kid who NEEDS YOU to set some boundaries for him. If he is up in your face talking, talk a BIG step back, and say, It makes MOST people uncomfortable when you step right into their face to talk. Please step back a bit, and you will find more people willing to listen. Being direct will teach him, AND get your point across.
Have a chat with your boss that the kid is interfering with YOUR work. You find him a huge distraction, and while you are understanding of the kids situation, you cannot be understanding of so many distractions, and disruptions. Ask that he assign the kid to another station, or section. If he says no, then speak to the kid, and just say "Im sorry, I find it hard to do my work, AND talk to you, could you please hold off on social talk till after work? If that doesnt work, mumble GOD GOD GOD GOD GOD half the day, if he is offended, he will go bug someone else. ;D

I can try some of those things. But either way, I'm a dishwasher which is the bottom of the shit hole. So they can't move him somewhere else. I am talking to my boss about it. Come the days that are super busy I think we are going to get him to do some cleaning around the place. I can't afford having him around when its super busy.

I got a new computer. Its 100 times better than my old one. The keyboard has those thin buttons so I'm getting used to that. I make lots of errors in typing with it. But I'm getting used to it. I'm installing WoW right now. I'm sure I can play at max res, like before, but also with higher settings to make it look better but also run nicley. The graphics for WoW may be dated but they do still look nice. And this fucker comes with a bigger moniter than I had before so it will look better with that too. Even RPGD looks sexier EDIT>> And it makes WoW look amazing. For the first time I can play the game at all settings at max and it doesn't lag. Even in Dalaran which is lag city. Loving this new computer

Yeah I got my comp today myself and I'm just amazed at how fantastic LotRO looked. I can pump it all the way up to the maximum settings except shadows and bilinear filtering without any frame rate issues. The resolution makes everything TEENY TINY so I have to play around with it some more. Dell prepackaged a lot of shit on this thing too I gotta kill. And I dunno but these keys feel like they're made of cheap plastic and they dry out my hands quickly. >.>
I like not having to see ERROR'd every damn day. Though I've just about had it with this thing telling me to turn the UAC back on. That's the thing that makes Vista prompt you when you do ANYTHING. "Are you sure you wanna open My Documents?"
Oi.
I needed some good going on lately. Retail + xmas = STRESS.

I'm still getting used to Vista but I honestly don't see what all the negativity surrounding it is all about. I have no problems with it so far. I don't get that "are you sure you want to open this?" when opening My Documents. Or is that just an exageration? Cause I do get it when I try to install stuff. Like when I went to install WoW and iTunes it happened. Its a small annoyance but I'm more or less like "yeah yeah, shut the hell up and install it"

Exaggeration but nonetheless annoying as sin. But you can turn that off thank god. I don't need my computer holding my hand. I usually hold ITS hand...if I don't cut it off first.

Same to yalls! I have my family here for Christmas so thats all I really need. I'm not too big on gifts. If someone wants to buy me something thats fine but I have a job and can buy my own stuff. The things I want the most are things I could use. Socks, underwear, razor blades for shaving. That kinda thing.

I think all I'm getting are shoes and gift cards, but that's fine with me. Stuff I can use is a lot better any more.
Boss gave me my first shot of whiskey for having a good year at work. I have regretted it ever since XD

razor blades for shaving. That kinda thing. Bald/Shaved Canadian balls? I keed, I keed. ;D I will NEVER forget some of the ongoing jokes we had in FFXI. I'm quite happy this Christmas, got a family that loves me and a place to stay, so I'm happy. I hope everyone else here has had a good Christmas.

I got shirts that dont fit. boots that dont fit. A necklace thats VERY dainty, and I will rip that sucker up in a hurry, and a couple of Wii games. looks like I will be returning some gifts this year. btw guys NEVER buy stuff for your g/f at Dicks sporting goods. NEVER! #1 their clothes run VERY small. #2 unless she is into marathons, and such, she will think you are telling her to exercise. #3 The clothes SUCK! bypass Dicks, and go directly to the jewelry counter. Even a $20 necklace is better than a $50 shirt from Dicks. I ate too many cookies! ugh!
