Well I finally heard back from the job.  They did offer me more money!  So I finally proved that you should turn down the first offer!  However, I also proved that you should not get your hopes up because the amount of money more they offered me the second time was like 1% more than the first time…I don’t know if it was worth the stress of asking for more money!

The only question to settle now is do I want to start May 29th or June 5th.  I’d prefer the second date, but they wanted someone as soon as possible.  I’m waiting to hear back from them.

In other news, there is this fantastic game called Kingdom of Loathing.  It’s a simple online game, best explained by their “What is KoL?” page.  I used to have a  Pastamancer named “Felix the Al Dente” but I always secretly wanted to be a Disco Bandit.  Anyway, you should play this game and waste hours and hours of your free time.

But why do I bring this up now, especially since I don’t play anymore?  I bring it up because i was recently reminded of the game by a reference to it in an article on this sick puppy.  Basically he was just a regular guy, as demonstrated by this quote:

“Regarding a potential motive,” Purcell Police Chief David Tompkins said Saturday, “this appears to have been part of a plan to kidnap a person, rape them, torture them, kill them, cut off their head, drain the body of blood, rape the corpse, eat the corpse then dispose of the organs and bones.”

Oh, and also:

“He said one of his main interests was the online role-playing game “Kingdom of Loathing,” in which stick figures battle one another.”

So basically, what I’m saying is, you should really check out this game!  ALL the cool kids are doing it.
