I'm not sure I'd call that stupid. Walmart does suck ass and I'm sure working there isn't great.
I do happen to know about GEDs. I've helped several people back home get one. I'd be happy to do the same if you're up for it.
Also, you know I run a game lounge here right? If you'd ever like to try to branch out to server, let me know. Most people who come here to play board games or video games are very nice.
