I'm sorry if I'm rushing things, but a large part of me wants to get past the combat in order to get to the next talky bit. It's really weird-- for me, the reverse is usually true (in PF/D&D, I'm usually the guy who nerds out over strategy and tactics), but this is a rules-lite system and I actually know how to play my character for once.

D'oh moment of the day. Telling your wife that we do not have hot water because we do not have power and then accidentally moving the faucet to the hot position and realizing that we have a gas water heater. It was not a fun moment telling the wife "Honey, we do have hot water and this is why."

Volleyball ran late. I had expected they would only be a couple of hours. They were five. I don't get how these kids can study or anything of the sort when they aren't getting home until almost 9pm.
Then my dad wanted me to go to his house since he has been held over at the hospital until tomorrow morning. So I didn't get home until 10:15pm. Then back out @11:30 to be here at Wood's Hole for midnight.
*sigh*
At least this job is quick. Something about unlimited computer access and no pissed of addicts make it a much smoother night job.

I was a thrower on the track team in high school (in the misty long-faded age of the early-mid 2000s), often not getting home from meets until 11 PM or so. I pulled a 3.9 GPA when I graduated, so it's definitely possible. The lack of sleep is pretty killer, though.

I'm pretty sure my overall brainpower has deteriorated since my 3.9 GPA days, however. For example, here's a pretty accurate representation of the past few years.

Sadly, no. If I were, I'd have the accent. Instead, I have to settle for just being awesome.

I am way more pleased about this particular pithy remark than I reasonably should be.
Maybe I'm starting to figure out this whole "Earth humor" thing after all. That's the joke.

I've been known to laugh loudly and long at my own posts.
What's wrong with that? If I didn't think it was funny, I wouldn't have said it!

I am indeed allergic to mold, and I do feel better today than I did yesterday. Perhaps you are right!
I was worried because I hung out a little with a friend on Sunday who had a cold.
Also, subways. They're basically rolling Petri dishes.

See, I'm used to people thinking things I say are funny without my intending them to be. On my home planet, it's considered an unforgivable weakness.

I get that sometimes. We both have dry senses of humor, so it comes with the territory, I guess.
Unless the thing they are laughing about was really serious (like "my grandma died" or something), I just roll with it and let them think I am wittier than I really am.

I hope your dad recovers quick Pat!
I also am feeling the 'not well'.
Not bad enough to stay home sick (Can't, no one else to do my job anyway) :P
But bad enough to make it very difficult to put on my happy face and pretend like I can stand the usual stupidity that happens around me. :P
I had 100+ kids backstage ALL week last week (Hairspray, the musical) so I'm guessing one of them shared a cold. :/
To the witty and witless people everywhere! CHEERS! (Heck, it's 5pm SOMEwhere!) ;)

Yes and no. The subway itself is quite clean- at least the ones I take are, because I live at the end of the line and they always clean it before it goes out. What you have to fear are your fellow passengers- THEY are the walking petri dishes you speak of.

Thanks Rags. It's hard realizing he's in his high Seventies now. He's always been very active and vital. Time is a muthaforker

I hope you get over the drama crud! My only suggestion is zinc. 50 mg daily. I work around kids and sick people daily and so far I've only had one cold in the last three years

It really makes me happy to know you are having a good time. I will move combat along accordingly.
