A Day in the Life of Kai in Atlanta Part 2

Spiral Cast

Easily one of the better anime casts I've seen.


Now onto part 2 of what my day looks like! I believe I left off right before heading to work, so here goes!
Oh yeah, and before I forget, still reading Spiral: Bonds of Reasoning. It’s so much better than the anime. Ayumu Narumi is a lot cooler and more comedic at moments, and Hiyono is…well, Hiyono lol.  Still looking for a good camera that doesn’t cost an arm to be surgically removed.


1500: No matter what, I’m at work by this time. But most of the time a little earlier. My official start time is at 1400, but after coming early for my first week they told me to start showing up later.  I have no complaints! Now, I want to talk about my job for a minute or so, because it’s awesome. I work on the second floor of an office building in the north side of Atlanta, my office is a cozy 2×2 meter room with a giant window, a large desk, a comfy office chair, a bookcase, two guest seats, a mysterious potted plant. When I moved in, I added a small file cabinet, my computer(which I spent the second week at work to build, they allowed it, so I did it), and a Demotivational poster on my empty bookshelf. And a Nerf gun I keep until my desk at all times in case of a surprise attack. My skill with my gun is long range attacks, but my neighbor can spray and pray. Everyone else in the office has lame pistols and such, except for one guy who has a ball launcher. In the Nerf world, I guess that’s similar to a grenade launcher lol. But besides the crazy cubicle/trench wars that we have in the office, each and every day is enjoy with the various types of people who work there. It’s kind of like The Office in many ways.
1700: There’s usually a conference at around this time, its all work related, so I’m hard at work at around this time. But sometimes even when there’s nothing to discuss, this meeting is called anyway because we’re all so used to sitting in the room at that specific time of day. And once, it was just an ambush for when that guy first got his Nerf machine gun.
1900: It’s time to head home, whether they kick me out of the office or I leave voluntarily(Surprisingly, the former happens more often). But many times, I get invited to a dinner outing with coworkers or some social event. Last week we all hit the golf range, a while before that, one of the other coworkers invited me for a trip to the shooting range. But there are times when I head straight back to my neighborhood. When that time comes, I find myself shopping for groceries, tending to my car’s needs, or eating at a new restaurant I found.
2000: Hello again Spaghetti Junction.
2100: I usually arrive at home around this time. Do the necessaries, like shower and have dinner if I hadn’t already. A few years back, I liked coming back to a quiet home because it was peaceful. Now it’s kind of depressing, so I try to stay out of it as much as possible. It’s a nice place no doubt in my mind, but still depressing.
2130: Time for the internet! It’s either internet, The Food Network, The Weather Channel, talking to friends, anime, gaming, or reading, that happens at this time. And lately, Spiral has been the one to occupy this time slot.
2200: If it hasn’t started already, the gaming is usually heating up now. With more and more friends showing online, we get more people to mercilessly punch in the face. And speaking of punch in the face
Zero Hour!: Still playing games, or on the internet. Sometimes I’ll go out for some Fourthmeal, or just get some ice cream. Did I mention Zero Hour is one of my favorite games?
0300: I usually hit the sack here, sometimes a little before, or a little later. Recently it’s been a little later because of Spiral reading.

That’s pretty much what a day looks like for me here in Atlanta. It’s much different from my average day in Tampa, which is great. Well, that’s all for me today. Next time, I think I’ll talk about my first adventure, “The Chocolate Attack”.

-Kai
