I'm also tired. Not the "time for bed", but the "I give up" kind of tired. I'm working on getting a job back home so I can move back to my friends & family. I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of employers that won't give you a "yes/no" answer and I'm tired of being in an industry (web developer) where every job listing I see has 20 job requirements and none of them match to the next job listing.
I'm tired of going over to the WotC boards to get scraps of information and seeing every announcement by them splinter the fan base again (3E vs 4E) and again (4E vs Essentials) and again (Booster card 'randomization'). I'm tired of watching the ENnie awards on NeonCon and hearing WotC fans claim the awards are rigged because it's a popularity vote, yet the 'most popular' game (4E) was snubbed by the nomination judges. I'm tired of edition wars BS, especially when most of the flames I see are started by 4E players bad-mouthing 3.5/Pathfinder.
I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I'm tired of the realization that 401k is the biggest piece of crap ever laid on the average worker (I ran into this one when I had to clean out my previous job's 401k to pay a mortgage until the house sold, THEN found out that all that money I put in was subject to taxes after I cashed out - something they never seemed to mention when you sign up for it). And I'm tired of companies laying off hard working folks while VPs and Directors and Chairmen get ANOTHER bonus because this year's income wasn't as bad as last year's, even if it was a loss.
*deep breath*
Okay, I just needed to let that out. Thanks!
Yeah, their sour grapes sucked. "We've got a million more fans than you, but yet you outvote us. WAAAAAA!"
Taunting 4vengers for the TOTP.

Morning all
*blink*
Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, the party accepted a dinner invitation from a mysterious wizard ensconced in a mobile castle with four huge chicken legs propelling it along the bogs of Tir Na Nog. Inside they are treated to a dinner of curries, while their host attempted to draw from them ...
Oh wait, that's my PbP .. =D

It sounds like a good one, though!

Monday was pretty meh for me...
I think all those years of not sleeping are finally catching up to me. I have been sooooo tired this past week, and I went to bed early pretty much every night I was away too, so it's not lack of sleep on that end. :/
I have so much work to get done at home here (work work, not house work) and I'm just not getting the time to do it and keep up with PbPs and you guys. It's starting to get me a bit stressed. :/
Of course this doesn't compare with everything that a lot of you others are going through, so for you guys you can ignore my pathetic ranting and return to dealing with stuff that is actually important.

Yes... draw from them... keep going... ;)

So, I've been working my way through The X-Files. (Stopped watching sometime in season 4 when it was actually on the air.)
Seasons 1-5 and the first film were pretty good, but it seems like season 6 went in more of an 'actual supernatural events' rather than the prior 'could be supernatural, could be government experiments' angle they had previously worked. I mean, Mulder/Morris body swapping, the ghosts on Christmas eve. The last several episodes felt more campy than conspiratorial. Is this how the rest of the series goes, or is it just a phase?

Overworked stress is legitimate. I hope you're able to get yourself caught up.

I still have to catch up on 3 PbPs from when I was away (and unlike here, I can't skim the 2-3 pages of each, I have to read each individual Post so I can keep up with the story), as well as Scan and e-mail around 20 pages of sign off forms and invoices for some work I did last week, plus input 20 pictures and add 3 new members into a web site I manage, plus create a spread sheet and enter the details of over a thousand couples into it. And all of that should have been done by Sunday Night. It is Now Monday Night and I am getting ready to go to bed because once more I am falling asleep at the keyboard and have to be up in 5 and half hours for work. I was supposed to have most of today off (which I was going to use to catch up on a chunk of that stuff), but my shifts got changed and I instead had to work all day.
Good morning, everyone. Thanks for the condolences.
It's weird. I didn't seem to be affected by it this weekend. Shock, I guess. It's hitting a little hard today.
Off to work now. I'll try to post later.

Well, as your GM in one of those PbPs, take your time and let Bethany just coast along. I don't want you to feel obligated =)
Good morning, everyone. Thanks for the condolences.

Glad to hear you are doing OK, Taig.

Hang in there, badger. I'm keeping my weather eye out for you.
Moonpies huzzah!
That takes me back to Korea.
When Korean girls smile real big, their eyes look like crescent moons.
On my fifth cup of coffee this morning.....and....nothing....
Make them reprint TPS reports? =3
I personally like messing with the computer at work.
Taking a screen shot of the desktop, saving it as a background and deleting all the icons.
mmmm....pizza...

We all mourn differently. There's really no right or wrong way to feel, and sometimes it's weirdly random.
Take care!

I can't imagine the pain of losing a parent.
Take care
