So it's been around two weeks since I updated. I am, apparently, not that good at blogging. Anyway, updates ( Read more... )

My Dynamis shell finally announced, before last night's Dyna-Xarc, that they would no longer be accepting applications for a bit. This seemed to be fine with a number of people, if the few comments I saw were any indication.

The officer who generally organizes the alliances and posts the roster finally put her foot down a little last night as well ( Read more... )

No, not Limbus. Limbo. ( More whatever... )

Since the regular Dynamis group's leader is offline for a bit dealing with RL issues, the last couple runs have been a little different. Not really in method or success rate, just slight changes in job distributions. She has been the main puller for the shell, occasionally alternating pulls on a run w/ another THF. For last night's Dyna - Windurst ( Read more... )

Back "at work" again today, though it seems almost a travesty to call it that, at this point. It's still kind of weird to me that after calling me in for a 3-week contract the Editors on the project decided to put me on hold for the majority of the 2nd week (seemingly while they begged the client for files we should have had well before any ( Read more... )

The following excerpt from the scoring rubric on the current Language Arts project I'm prepping manuscript for:

• 2 points - Errors in grammar, usage, and mechanics; inaacurate word choice and awkward sentences

You don't say...?

Continuing to grind through Dynamis, building points. I've finally got a raid I'm sponsoring coming up this weekend! It's Glacier unfortunately, but I'll take what I can get. ( Random FFXI blather, which is probably only interesting to me... )

In today's world of ongoing text communication such as blogs, email, and...well, texting...You would think people's reading comprehension would be higher, wouldn't you? Seriously. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people seem to completely ignore what you say or email to them.

So I got a call out of the blue from one of the Editors with the company that laid me off a few months back. Wanted to know if I was available to do some work for them on a freelance contract basis. I have to admit, my initial reaction was to tell her no thanks, but that was nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction. The really weird part (to me) was ( Read more... )

Nyzul was very, very frustrating last night. Our attempts at clearing Floor 20 left it just out of reach each time. A Psycheflayer Boss knocked us down on Floor 19 one run (though, Shagg & Inia's Last Stand against him was something to see, I will say), and we drew Adamantoise and got him down to literally a sliver before timing out the next, afer ( Read more... )
