Updates from the patch...
...get your fuckin' minds out of the gutter, not that patch you sick bastards. And I'm the one working with rough-and-tumble mud-mouthed motherfuckers, geez.
I've been up here for about a month now and have been working hard. In one week worth of work I made more than I did in any single month at SLP. The work has a lot more thinking involved than I first thought, so focused was I on its physical aspect. But it is exciting work and I've learned a lot since coming up here. I'm working with Tyler now, and if the office sees things our way, Cooper will be coming on with us in short order. Add a decent night sup to the mix and we'll have a really good crew.
The hardest thing about being up here is not being with Jen. Sure, we text and talk pretty much every day, but this has been the longest we've been apart in almost 6 years. However, we are both staying strong and I think it's been as good for our relationship as it has been for the bank account. We've been able to work together so calmly through all the financial bullshit that came along with me quitting SLP too soon, where we would normally be so grumpy with each other before. I guess it's true that absence makes the heart... well, you get the idea.
Another thing I really miss is gaming. Fuck, if I don't roll a d20 soon some crackhead is going to get my knife in his back! The only thing that has helped me to stave off that urge for this long is getting this fuckin' Sin City campaign together, and it is coming along quite nicely. I started working out shit for my novel as well today, so I have to say that I'm fairly happy in that regard. But Cooper has to get on our crew so that Ty, he and I can do some mini-gaming in the interim before spring break-up.
I hope everyone back home is doing well and I trust you all think of me on a daily basis. And if you aren't, then I am shocked, appalled, and equally not thinking about your self-centered ass.
To all my REAL friends, live well.
