Silent Hill Origins... Ooh, scary... O_o

Well, yesterday, I decided to play more of my new Silent Hill game, since Laurie and Kim were going out.
Jamie though, apparently gets NIGHTMARES whenever I play these games, so I was given STRICT warnings NOT to let her watch me play... >_>
So...
After Kim left, Jamie woke up from her nap, and came downstairs... Just her and me.
She cuddled up on the couch and wanted to watch. Think I can refuse her? Pfft, fat chance! O_o
So, I let Jamie watch me play. Several shrieks and nervous giggles later, she decides that she wants to play Silent Hill 2. So I fetch it for her, pop it in, and away she goes. She does pretty well, considering she's never watched me play it from start to finish. But...
There are beasties that hide under parked cars. Your radio statics, indicating a monster is nearby, but since it's hidden, we have no clue where it is. The thing skritches free from under this van, and Jamie shrieked, throwing aside the controller. I laughed, and she recovered, bludgeoning the thing to death on her own. I'm so proud of her! ^_^
Then I played Resident Evil 2 after, her watching, making me stay up late. I got to the part where you leave the town and reach the secret Umbrella labs. By this time it was wayyy after 11pm. Gave her a shoulder pat/hug thing, then went to bed, her telling me that she'd wake me up if she had a bad dream...

Had fun talking with her these past few days: she's been really happy around me, and it's nice to see her old self again. She'd been sick for so long...
Oh, her cos-play outfit came in yesterday, hers and Stephanies. Did I post about this already?... Anyways, I love it, even if I don't know what anime it's from...
Long black leather leggings and a trench coat, buckles and designs... [Drool]. Makes me want a costume now.

Today...
Today, after a long day at work, she's still happy. I opened my tax return cheque. I'm getting $1314.04 back from the government. I'm happy. ^_^
Jamie AND I got a measly 5% raise, meaning she gets a whopping 80 cents more an hour, and I get 83-86 cents an hour more. Woohoo... >_>

Jamie playfully tattled on me to her mother, telling her that I did something bad. The FIRST thing her mum said was, 'you let him into your room!?...'
Yeah... ~_~
Then, we explained it wasn't THAT (****), it was the fact that she not only watched me play scary games the night before, but that I let JAMIE play as well! Ooh... Kim's a little mad! >_<
Not too terribly mad, just annoyed I imagine.
Meh, whatever. If Jamie says she wants to do something with me, then I don't care what anybody else says: I'm doing it. 'Cuz I love her, very much, and I will do everything I can to make her life happy and bright.

The past few weeks at work, I've been working inside a building at Sherritt called Phos Granulation. It's a building that produces fertilizer pellets, the kind you buy from a gardening store.
It's a tall, hot building, full of noisy machines and large industrial dryers that suck all the moisture out of the salt/fertilizer products that this particular section of the plant makes.
My job has been to remove YEARS of build-up from under one certain conveyor belt, who's belt rollers need servicing. The trouble is, the piles underneath are huge: the old product piled almost up to the belt. (That's 5-6 feet of build-up under there.)
There was a layer of copper sulphate that hadn't been produced in years, not since 1997, and it was one of the UPPER layers in this massive build-up pile.
The product, when it gets wet (from moisture in the air, or anything, etc.), if allowed to re-dry, turns the product from a nice powdery build-up into sandstone/concrete.
This 15 foot long pile of product, 5-6 feet tall, was nearly ALL rock hard.
The location was cramped, hard to get to (climb a scaffolding to reach it), and that 5-6 foot tall pile gradually narrowed down to a 2 foot crawl-space (Yes, the pile tapered down eventually, after 15 feet or so).
The heat from the building, especially from being on the top floor, was a killer. The labour was intense, and I sweated my balls off (quite literally!).
However...
I finished that project today.
WooT!!! ^_^

Anyways, mum is home, so I'm gonna go say hi to her. Laterz!
