So, I'm told by Mother I should change my email address to something more professional, such as my name, to help get a job. When I heard this, it struck me as so obvious that I was surprised that none of my job coaches nor social workers had ever suggested.

I decided to try the former on the way down and the latter on the way back. Navigating was particularly difficult for someone who has only once been allowed to travel outside of town in the last ( Read more... )

The DM for the campaign running that night didn't tell me, so I found out when I arrived that we were playing a new version of MapTool. Consequently, the only way I found out was to open MapTool (which takes several minutes), then close it and install and run the new one (which takes several minutes).
