You lose! Good day, sir!

Hi there,

We finally finished that new feature at work. I’ve got enough extra hours in that I plan on taking a few early days this week. I have no idea what bugs/features are in store for me next, but I know I’ll probably be busy this week.

My programmer friend Jack got the job. He starts on the 4th. Apparently I might get a bonus out of that, if the company decides to keep him 6 months from now. Like $1000 or something. That’s going to be nice. =) I just hope he likes the job. He hated what he use to do.

I’ve been feeling very hostile towards women lately. They just upset me sometimes. By being them. This is a pattern for me, though. Sometimes I’m very angry towards them, but it will pass.

Just seems like women cause all the grief in my life. All of it.

I finally got that game of Civ 5 in. And I got my ass beat. By a woman, of course. Dido of Carthage. She manipulated me. We had a Declaration of Friendship, and we were trading goods back and forth between each other, and then she just bipolar flipped on me and declared war. Totally didn’t see it coming. She said I am “too trusting” and my mistake was placing my faith in her.

Yea. Story of my life, lady.

Dido of Carthage

She wiped out both of our chances of winning. Because while we were busy killing each other left and right like Israel and Palestine, our neighboring countries built up into super powers and moved on with their lives. While we spiralled downward in a blaze of hate. Either way, she definitely made an enemy out of me. The next time I see her in a game I’m going to wipe her off the map, without a chance, without any friendship at all.

And when I finally beat her, I’m pretty much going to pull a Wonka “YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!”

Stoked that your friend got the job. That’s great news! Sorry about the girl being lame, but we’re not all terrible. Although having said that, I did once viciously betray my brother during the final throes of an intense game of Risk, which I still don’t think he’s forgiven me for, five years on. So, maybe I can’t speak to the cause of women being fair and kind. Heh.

If you knew the story of Dido, you wouldn’t blame her for her man issues.
