Fucking hell… I just beat Bioshock Infinite and wow, what a ride.  The conclusion was really something else, even if I saw it coming… damn.  I need a breather after that one

When I left my internship position last summer at the engineering firm I was working at, I had been told that there would almost certainly be more work and another internship position available the following summer.  However, in the months since then, the engineering firm laid off my boss’s boss and several other higher-ups with whom I had worked closely, and appointed a new division head.  I found out today that this new division head no longer plans on renewing the internship position and has instead decided to expedite the work I was meant to do over the summer to their plant in Mexico, despite the fact that a great portion of my work last summer was spent cleaning up the mess the folks in Mexico did after they did a shit-awful job of it.

I’m in trouble.  I had been banking on that job for this coming summer and hadn’t put out anything else in the way of applications because I had more or less been assured my job back.  Now I’m in hot water and I may need to stay in Madison for the summer so I can find work as soon as possible and help pay off my apartment.  This sucks

A few recent vinyl acquisitions: a rare copy of Daughters’ “Canada Songs” on green/grey marbled vinyl, an OOP copy of Mogwai’s “Mr Beast”, and the Haxan Cloak’s newest album “Excavation”.

I’ve got one more exam in 7 hours, and in my boredom I did some calculations and even if I didn’t take the final, I would still have a C in the class.  So I’m beyond the point of caring and it’s basically just a waiting game at this point
