  I now have Saturday off

  ...due to my abrupt "departure" from Fortune's #1 company to work for. First off, had anyone asked me what I thought of the company prior to their voting, Wegmans wouldn't have placed more than 150th. During my six year tenure, I can count the number of days I actually enjoyed working there on one hand. I understand many (probably most) jobs are like this or, god forbid, even worse.
  
  I also understand that hating your job is the American way and there isn't a really good alternative. The search for one up until now has proven itself fruitless and vain and may explain my inability to make career/educational choices. Perhaps you could say that being stuck in one job or career path is a fear of mine, but I think it's more of an extreme disgust at the state of things.
  
  Is it so wrong to want to enjoy my job? Is it so much to ask that I enjoy what I will be doing for the next 45 years of my life? I sympathize with you, Postal Worker. That being said, it is really nice out and I now have a whole lot of time to play wiffleball.
  
  Edit: You probably came here to read about video games, so I should write a little about that as well. God of War was excellent, but short: worth a rental.

  Unions?

  I'm slightly interested in starting one of these, but I don't know why. Anywho, it says I need 4 "officers" to agree. I've secretly chosen a handful of friends (you) that I'd like to join me, but what manner of union would you like to see or participate in? I thumbed through the existing ones and they all seem pretty limited in scope. Thoughts?

  Spore

  For those who haven't read anything about this, I recommend you do so now. I don't know what else to say about this game other than "Will Wright is incomprehensibly awesome". As a general pessimist and disbeliever in everything, I'm not one to get excited.
  
  I now have an idol.
