I should strat by saying I will be manning a post at Smithfield News to morrow night from 11pm to 7 am, so if you are stuck downtown, don't be afraid to stop by and say hi.
As for how today was, eh, it was I will say that. I woke up early enough, roughly a quarter till 8. I usually catch the 9 am 67 H into town, so I had some time this morning that I woke up and played some Marvel Puzzle Quest. I was approaching 650 points in the current head to head match ups, which gets you a gold recruit token. Gold tokens are better than silver ones because they increase your chance of getting 3&4 star characters, and I was roughly one good fight away from hitting that plateau, except I kept losing fights. After 30 or so minutes of going back and forth on my points, I decided I would get ready for work.
For those not I he know about what Marvel Puzzle Quest is (hereafter referred to as MPQ), it is a match three color game where you collect tokens that allow you to either collect or level up characters. Each character has two or three abilities ( colors) that as you collect those specific colors, it allows you the opportunity to use that ability while in a fight. The max number of covers ( tokens) you can have for any one character is 13, and each power is maxed out at 5. Characters are broken into classes, 1,2,3 & 4 stars, with 1 stars being the easiest to obtain and 4 stars being the rarest. That being said, a maxed out 1 star (13 covers and fully leveled up) is usually more powerful than a 2 star with just a couple of covers. I have been playing for better than a year now, so getting covers ( tokens) that can actually help me is hard. I have a number of three star characters who have 13 covers ( not necessarily the 13 I want, people try to build their characters to favor certain powers/abilities over other ones that they get little use out of. I suppose I could give you an idea of what my roster looks like if that will help. Probably not but here goes.....
So anyway, I am getting ready for work and my cell phone rings. It was a text message from Brian, who was flying down to Florida for vacation today. He was texting me to say that the arm had $60 left in it, so already today I have to reload the arm on top of my normal tasks. I had money put aside for such an event, over $6000, so it was really just a matter of getting there and doing it. The work day itself went pretty uneventfully, save for one disagreement I had with someone outside the store. This cute girl walked by while I am having a cigarette, and this other guy that is standing there looks at her and says, " I bet you can't hear me, but I want to fuck you." Mind you, the girl wasn't on a cell phone, nor did she have an earpiece in and she wasn't wearing headphones, so I am quite sure she heard him and just paid him no mind. As she continues to walk by he chimes in again, saying, " See, I know you can't hear me, but I would like to lift that dress and get in your ass." Then he says something to me about her not answering him and I said I don't take too kindly to someone verbally assaulting a potential customer. That was it for excitement for the day, everything else was paint by numbers. Enough so that I decided to leave work on time and catch the 67 H and go to the Squirrel Cage for dinner. I needed to Squirrel Hill anyway, I had to stop by Giant Eagle and get my new bus pass for next week and pick up the fixins for my tuna salad that I will be making again tomorrow, my last batch lasted two days before selling out so it must have been good. I would have got my bus pass downtown but the PAT service center was closed.
So I get done with work early and decide I can run over to Starbucks really quickly for a coffee and to use their wifi to work on my MPQ again. So I walk over to Starbucks and they are closed, I stand outside for a few minutes stealing their wifi, and I got my gold coin I wanted in the morning. It ended up being a 3 star Sentry card I didn't need, then I walk back to my bus stop and catch my bus toward dinner. Except when I got to the Squirrel Cage, they are closed. Just when the fuck did July 3rd become a holiday? I am so sick of people bitching that immigrants are coming and taking our jobs, but when given a chance to work they can't be bothered. Give me some hard working Mexicans over lazy fucking Americans any day.
