The last day of Gen Con consisted of me buying some more dice as well as a deck vault for my Paranoia decks and dice. I drove home, rested up, went back to work and was fired five minutes into my shift for time theft. My mistake was not staying in my department until 10:00 pm on those nights I closed. Since it was dead, I figured I could give my legs a rest and sit by the time clock. It was a stupid move on my part.
So 25 years of employment, my personal holidays and vacation time and my health insurance have been pissed away because of my mistake. I'm fairly certain my pension might also be gone because of this but I haven't found out yet. It took a couple of weeks but I've found another job. At the moment it's part time and I don't have health insurance through them yet but some goods come out of this. For some time now I've felt like I've had a target on my back at my previous job and it was just a matter of time before things came to a head. The worse part is I handed them a reason to fire me on a silver fucking platter. I'm trying to get insurance through Healthcare.gov. I've started an application but I'm waiting for my current employer to provide me with information needed to complete it.
On other matters, some of the Kickstarters I've backed have arrived. The CNC machined Mobius strip and Random Encounter Dice are here and my two sets of Troll's Teeth will be arriving tomorrow. The Debunked card game, remaining 4 Cthulhu Mythos coins, Immersive Battle Maps book and Randice expansion should be completed and mailed out shortly. The eDice Kickstarter I joined was cancelled and restarted. It still has 21 days of funding to go before things get underway. I hope they unlock the stopwatch function. I really hope this thing goes to completion. I really want to get one of these.
I went to the SPandme.com website and took the quiz. Here are the results; 39% Lisa Berger, 19% Kevin Stoley, 19% Kyle Schwartz, 6% Pete (Hair Flip Goth), 6% Roger Donovan, 5% Ned Gerblanski and 5% Rumper Tumpskin.
