I have a four day weekend because of Labor day, so I might make another journal pretty soon. Still have work at FedEx, though. Speaking of, don't send anything with FedEx. Ever. I'm saying this as someone that works there. Your package will be destroyed by some angry worker that throws them around. It completely baffles me with the amount of destroyed packages I see every day. At UPS, when a package was damaged, it was taped up ASAP. Not at FedEx. They literally don't care about what happens to your stuff. I guess it's because of the different kinds of workers at both places. UPS = low turnover, union job filled with boomers. FedEx = high turnover, mostly low IQ teenagers. Seriously. The amount of times I was nearly seriously injured because some idiot pushed a package into me while I was in a truck is innumerable. I never came close to being injured due to someone else's negligence at UPS. Ever. But I'll stay for the tuition reimbursement and flexible schedule.

Anyway, here's the video. I put the render settings to 2k instead of the usual 1080p, and guess what? Now it's 2 fps. Sigh. Please enjoy the slideshow.
