Beyond the Void.

Well I was just thrown a huge curve ball at work. I am now going to a completely different department with in the call center. Its not so bad, its just a different product, software and system. So you know, a complete change. The only thing that will be the same is some of the people I work with and that I will have a phone attached to my head 8 hours a day.

I am a flexable employee, which really means when I get screwed over I take it better. I did not volunteer for this. I was asked if I wanted to volunteer, I didn't however and I still got drafted. I know I am doing alot of bitching about this, but really the only reason I am not thrilled with being picked for this is that I am going to be locked in to it for a year.

The other thing is... I am just sick of the chaos.

/sigh

Normally I am not the guy to go nutso over Final Fantasy stuff, I leave that to my friends. However this fan made video for 'Final Fantasy: Advent Children' is really cool.

However the thing that I find coolest about it is the music. The song is called "Where is my Dream" by a Jrock band called "Landscape". They are a Japanese band and opened for Linkin Park when they played in Tokyo. I just ordered the single of this from Japan.

This weekend I lost a friend of mine. We are not sure how or why she passed but the loss of her can be felt. Liz was a smart, honest generous friend. She was my normal euker partner at gatherings and fun to talk with every time I saw her. We went to school together however in school were never close. It wassnt until years later that my wife and I got to know her better.

Now however this whole thing seems so unreal. I know that I don't fully
accept her death just yet. I am sure that will come this thursday and friday at
her showing and services. I am not really looking forward to accepting the loss.
