But will Taig be playing naked? Huzzah to naked TPK ambition!
Hah! 104! I win!
I'm going to be outside two days in a row at a heavy metal festival.
This will not end well.

On the one hand, I envy the opportunity... on the other, not in this heat.
Do try to have fun though, sounds like a blast. BRING WATER. Especially if you plan to drink.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING FAWTLIES!!!!!!!!
Today's the day I head to BRONYCON!!!!!!! I will post pics throughout the con/once I'm back depending on whether or not we have WiFi where we're at.
The wife is making breakfast to fortify me on my journey. She is still mollified that I am even going.
Aeglos, I have NOT forgotten you. The pictures posted out of order, it was supposed to be me first thing in the morning and then slowly more ready as I shave and look more refined, but..ah well. Here you go!!
Speaking of shaving, I have discovered a shaving technique that works for me- I think I already mentioned that I replaced the old shavette I got ripped off for at The Art Of Shaving with a 4 dollar cartridge ready straight razor that is longer than the shavette, the extra length makes for a CRITICAL difference when shaving, I barely nicked myself once, and it didn't slip or fumble in my hand. However, I didn't use shaving cream- I used Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion, an important product in many african american communities. It actually protected my face much better than any shaving cream ever did. After taking off the first seriously long hairs, it created a protective barrier of lotion for when I went back to be kissably smooth that really did a great job of protecting me from nicks. Even when I did cut myself, the lotion went into the wound, and kept me from bleeding all over the place- I didn't even KNOW I had been cut until I wiped off the blade. Also, I used the lotion while my skin was dry- I am just not a wet shaver, I can't do it, I get bad cuts and razor bumps all over the place. I shaved everything but my head, I'm saving that for the con, I think, with the drop/safety razor and a healthy supply of lotion.
Also, did another mini-venture for Darklight Sisterhood last night. I think I dropped the ball a bit...I felt my player was more lost than amazed. She says she enjoys the twist, and I know she has no problem telling me when I mess up, so I know she's getting into it, but..Hrm. I think I need to revisit technique...Maybe I based it TOO much off the source material? We did start late, and the NPC was a bit...well, aLOT less than obvious. I dunno. Will meditate on it this weekend.
Yay, my desktop widget says it's only a high of 100 today!
I hate everything.
You know you want it.
Autumn here. Winter's too cold, summer's too hot, spring's too sunny. Autumn's nice temperature, breezy, cloudy, and full of pretty colors.
Early autumn in Poland... <3
~my lower lip quivers~ But... But... But they are REAL!!! ~runs away crying~How many times do I have to tell you that the stuffed animals and dolls you use as your tea party guests don't count as a real mob?I don't need proof. I have a mob backing me up. Proof does not matter to them.I blame Aberzombie.You got no proof, lizard boy.
Look what you did, Aberzombie! You made the dragon cry. Are you proud of yourself?

Actually, don't answer that. We don't want you to hurt Sharoth's feelings. More.

Heal fast Aeglos.
I am going away from computer <yikes!> to see a friend that just came from Sweden. Time to ask her how her Pathfinder game went and tease her about her viking boyfriend and why she still keeps him isolated from weird bunch of sociopathic freaks, er, I am mean, our lovely group of geeks.
thanks for the wellwishes
I totally Googled it. You are psychic.*watches everyone run to Google*

We need more rampaging giant lizards, so don't feel too bad.

You got it right. I didn't realize there was a proper word for it besides "nail infection".

My job is driving me insane.
Little did I know, a lot of other people inside and outside of our company who should have been informed were not, and were all collectively blindsided by questions from clients about the change. (I was equally blindsided; I knew I was getting new clients, but had no idea they were all being given my name and number on Monday.) Now I have hundreds of angry people breathing down my neck, and the last thing they want to hear is that there are a hundred others and I can only get to one of them at a time.
My boss's solution, as always, is overtime. I'm sick of overtime. I want a life. The answer has been overtime since sometime in February, and he suspects that my volume may decrease sometime around November. Seriously, this is what he says to boost my morale.
If I looked elsewhere, that would pretty well f@$% them over, especially after they bungled the transition of 140 clients to my caseload and then would have to assign them a new rep yet again. I don't really want to quit, but they seem oblivious to the fact that I am at my wits' end, despite my frequent protestations.
Seriously, I have never had a job that raises my blood pressure quite like this one.
Sorry to hear that, CH. Yea, it sucks when the bosses are idiots and don't care about their employees. Even if the employees are the ones keeping the bosses around.
~points to the reinforced concreet pillar with a bullseye and the caption "When in times of stress, bang head here."~
I prefer "The beatings will continue until morale improves."

They are screwing you over by dumping this on you and telling you to suck it up. You feel bad about leaving because it would hurt them...well...they don't worry about hurting you.
And it's a business...if they can take advantage of your loyalty to make you sweat blood so they can make more money...they will. How you push back depends on where you are, of course, but if you don't...they will keep taking advantage of you. :(

En route... To BRONYCON!! Had to make some shirts first. The science behind it is fascinating.
Aeglos, please heal up.

First of all, I didn't move to Long Island because I love Long Island. I will probably want to move into/closer to the city at some point and I don't want to be commuting out to the styx.
I've just been trying to stay put long enough to:
1. Have this job look good on my resume. (If it's for too short a stint, that looks suspicious.)
2. Hopefully get a halfway decent recommendation. (Trying not to burn bridges.)
They seem to like me work and keep giving me awards, so at least I don't have angry management. Instead I get management that likes me and wants to shove a ton of work on me.
I guess I will reevaluate in the fall and decide whether to leave then or wait until I can say "2011-2013" on my resume ;)
Basically, I am an experienced, license financial services professional in the financial services capital of the country. These people are not the only game in town.
Good luck with that CH. Don't let 'em drag you down.
Good luck ch. Hopefully we can move up in the world professionally together.

Hell yes!
Mrgh.
It's 105 here. I turned the AC to 87 to let the compressor shut off for a while, but it has kicked back on now. We've had a drought for two months now, so they've issued fire warnings for the next two weeks, encompassing the July 4 holiday.
I plan to send it all your way, LPM.
