Incessant Expressions

To Call of Duty 4. Having played the first 4 (#2 had an expansion pack) games, I was almost hesitant to get the latest installment mainly because I’ve really stopped getting on my PC late at night since I already have enough trouble sleeping. Well, this game certainly isn’t helping that. The addition of the XP/unlocks and perk system really added a new level of fun to the game. On my local IRC server, I’m doing well at handing out ass whoopings but when I go on public servers, I get my own medicine served up right and left :(.

Next week I get my review at work — 3 months after it was due — and I’m not as worried as I was last time. I know what it’s going to say about my “brashness” or what have you, I’m just worried about the fact that Jess and I may not be alloted the same amount of vacation hours so it’s going to make taking any vacation difficult. I hate the fact that we work on a tiered system that’s mostly based on how well your coworkers like you and not on how well you do your job or on how well you know how to do your job. I’m pretty much guaranteed to stay at my current tier since people think I’m a jackass overall not knowing that I’m just a very curt person in real life. I just don’t like small talk or pandering to people and I really hate when I have to do it at work. But what bugs me the most is the general disregard for policy and procedure. When people break policy to bother me with something, which is usually a few times a day, I just get pissed because it’s like no one cares about the rules we’re supposed to follow. But when I stop following policy, I get in trouble, typically enough to ruin the rest of my day.

Oh well, I’m trying to get over the fact that no one cares about the policies but if you’re going to have them why not make people follow them to the letter? I just don’t get it at all. It’s like fighting the war on apathy.
