I was wondering if anyone else here feels the same way? I don't feel like I fit in well with any "generation". Kind of like a gap is there. Most everyone I hang out with is either a few years younger or some years older than me. I don't even know that many people that are my age.
My best friends are all in college or younger than me, but the people I really identify with are older than me.
It's also hard to be a single guy at my age. Most guys I know my age are married or engaged. Makes for some awkward times at the holidays.

I work at a retail store. I have to work the opening shift on Black Friday. I'm pissed off. I wasn't scheduled to work Friday when my schedule was made this week. I was scheduled for Thanksgiving day, which I accepted because after all, someone has to do it.
Tonight my manager informed me, that instead of her working on Black Friday - as the schedule had said she would - that the schedule had changed now, and I was now going to work it and she would take one of my days earlier in the week. That is BS right there.
I'll be working the entire store by myself from open until 5 pm. I hate my job as it is, and the biggest reason is the crap like this that goes on there. The schedule was arbitrarily changed when the manager came into work today and found out that she was supposed to be on duty for Black Friday. So now she and her salary that more than doubles my salary, has the day off while I get ambushed by holiday shoppers looking for a deal.
I had to vent about this, it pisses me off to the core. I want to get out of that sh*+hole so bad.
Has anyone ever seen the movie Falling Down? I worry sometimes that I'm gonna flip out like that.
Anyway, thanks for reading.

Played around quite a bit w/ my new Blackberry Storm, the phone is amazing. It's a bit on the slow side, but I hear an update sometime today should solve those issues. A huge upgrade from my previous Samsung i760. If you have any questions, I can try to answer them.

For those of you with internet connections on your mobile/cell phones, which lets face it, is just about everybody these days, I've put together some helpful information to make surfing Operation Sports easier. 1. Use Viigo to view OS News
If you have a Blackberry or a phone that uses Windows Mobile you need to download Viigo. As well as being great for keeping you up to date with sports scores this program has a very easy to use RSS feed reader. It comes pre-loaded with a bunch of popular news feeds (TechCrunch, Crackberry.com, Engadget etc) but to add OS to your list all you need to do is go to Menu >> Add Channel >> Add Your Own Channel and paste in our News RSS Feed URL: http://www.operationsports.com/rss.xml. OS will now be easily accessible from your list of news feeds.
2. Use the Mobile URL the view the Forums
This has never formally been announced, so if you are not aware of this URL you are not alone. If you want a quick and easy way to browse the Operation Sports Forums on a mobile device you simply need to type in: http://m.operationsports.com. This address will take you directly to a quick-loading and stream-lined version of the forums designed specifically for mobile viewing.

My freakin' Xbox 360 died last night. I tried everything, it just won't fire up. Oh well, it was annoyingly loud for some odd reason. Maybe my replacement won't be as loud, we'll see.
Looking forward to the weekend, it has been a rough week at work.

I think there is a way to post my avatar in full view? If someone can hook me w/ that knowledge, I'll post mine here, but you can see my face on the right (in my Arena), in the Gamercard area.

Pistons went 3-1 on their west coast trip, I'll take that. Cavs and C's coming up, should be 2 great games. Really looking forward to destroying the Cavs though, right EG?

Which one of your friends has the best looking Arena in your opinion? Nominate this person and they could win a game of their choice on any platform.
Nominations close (for real this time) in 48 hours .
As a gamer, this is great time of year as well, so many big releases are coming or have come out since late September. For all of the good that this time of year brings then, what is my gripe?
Getting a cold/flu/virus/sick.
I always come down with some sort of illness shortly after the seasons change to fall and wintry weather. It is without fail. I think my health is cursed in the months of October, November, and December.
So now I'm coming down with something. I don't know yet whether it is a cold or something more serious. I have a low fever, chills, muscle aches, headache, sore throat, and an upset/sour stomach. I haven't been this sick feeling all year long and now my number has come up it seems.
Being sick this time of year DOES stress me out quite a bit. It is trying to work through the illness and walk that line of trying not making my co-workers and customers sick and trying to not call in every day. It's worrying about making friends and family sick. It wondering how long will I feel this way?
I'm just coming off of a terrible month of October with my wisdom teeth and now I seem to have some sort of virus. When it rains, it pours it seems.
I've been doing a lot of reading on WebMd and other sources. I've got my zinc and echinacea lozenges. I've got my DayQuil and NyQuil. I'm armed with Cepocal throat drops. I've done about everything I know to do, drinking plenty of fluid etc. trying to cut down on the duration of this sickness.
So what say you OS? Are you down with the flu? Got a stubborn cold? What kind of things work best for you when you are under the weather? How do you cope with the chills and fatigue?
