Angst!!

Everybody is stupid except for me!

Update

On Jan 4th I had a bad day at work.

I had to listen to a scared lady being verbally and physically abused as she constantly pressed her panic button for help.

After the inital call I left work (because it was the end of my shift), and I didn't ever bother to find out how the alarm was closed. I didn't want to because it's emotionally hard to go back to calls like that. a few days ago I dug up the info and looked at the call. The dispatcher that closed the alarm for me called the Police Dispatch to follow up.

Aparently when the police showed up she denied he had been hurting or threatening her.

My coworker was forced to close the alarm as "False Alarm, No help needed, no abuse took place, per PD"

This made everything worse for me. I literally heard this lady beg for help and beg for her life for 35 minutes. And no action was ever taken agaist the guy abusing her.

I even advised to the police that we record all our calls. the recording clearly proves physical and verbal abuse to disable elderly man and woman. The "suspect" even announces his name on tape. but because of the lady's fear...nothing's going to happen.

I love my job, but it's situations like this that make me hate humanity.

Proper Fanboy Status Acheived!

So, for pretty much all my life I've considered myself a gamer. I grew up with all the incarnations of the nintendo and gameboy systems, and I had friends a plenty with every other system.
I have my own Nintendo wii and fully plan on purchasing the Nintendo 3DS in March.
Also my Girlfriend recently purchased a Playstaion 3 and (within the last year) an Xbox 360....so, Gamer status fully recognized.

Morso than a gamer. I consider myself a film conniseur. I review movies (sometimes) and obsess about all the new ones. I study actors and directors, and have massed a decent sized DVD collection over the last few years that is continually growing.

What is one very important thing that Video Games and Movies have in common.

Yes, a television.
And not any television. A Widescreen 40" HD 1080p 120hz LCD Television.

Now, the TV I've been rockin for the last 5 years is fine. just a nice flatscreen 24" (heavy bastard). And it's been fine. it has a few spots on the screen that turn green if it's been on for more than 3 hours...but it works.
that said....it's a peice of crap. My movies and video games deserved more. And now that I have a Widescreen 40" HD 1080p 120hz LCD Television I know that.
Even without any high definition settings turned on...everything is so pretty.
Now that I have a ridiculously nice television I love watching movies and playing video games more than ever!
