I got my first ASA today.

What's an ASA, you ask? Well, Billy, I'll tell you!

ASA stands for Author Satisfaction Award. Employees are awarded such a thing for exemplary service to authors (generally this means appeasing high-maintenance authors). What exactly does this mean for me? God, you're needy, Billy.

But I'll tell you anyway! What this means is that I can come in an hour late or leave an hour early on a day of my choice AND I get reimbursed for all the gas I use this month.

Have I mentioned lately that my job is way cooler than yours?

Apparently I'm doing my job right.

Paintballing was today.

Let it be known right now that I am terrible at this game. I am covered in welts. A fair amount of them are from the last round when we played "nobody's out until their gun is empty" so I get hit no less than 30 times.

I had loads of fun. The teams seemed a little unbalanced, unfortunately, because the other team had a lot of retired military personel and at LEAST 4 people who play the game fairly regularly, whereas my team had me, who played about 10 years ago and was given the slingshot, and 1 person who was a pro. So, for the most part we were basically just walking targets.

We played 8 games, only 1 of which we actually won. I was wet, dirty, sore, and filled with glee.

I hope we do stuff like this more often.

Reasons why my job is awesome:

1. We were voted the #2 best place to work in Oklahoma for small-medium businesses.
2. Because of this, the CEO of the company decided to let everyone leave at noon.

AWESOME.

Now, to add some "wtf-ery" to your day, this link. Top 10 Places To Not Visit.

For those too lazy/linkophobes, this puts OKC as the #4 worst place to vist. And Chernobyl is #5. And Baghdad is #10. And OKC is on this list for weather.

WTF.

First off, there are WAY worse places for weather like... oh, I don't know... anywhere in the gulf coast? And it mentions blizzards and unpredictable weather. Haha... whoever wrote this artical has clearly never been to Denver. Or anywhere in the North. Secondly, who in their right mind would put a perfectly inhabitable city, with a THRIVING commerce, as a bad place to visit on the same list that contains a place STILL suffering from radiation poisoning? And as a worse place! It's just asinine.

In other news, the AI in Mario Kart Wii cheats to endless degrees. It makes me the angry.
