two things i wanted to discuss that formulated in my head on my commute in today ( Read more... )

that is me. lots of stuff to get done at work, and it drains me when i get home. trying to get things in order for a leave after working somewhere for 10 years has proven to be an interesting process, to say the least. i feel for my poor boss with my 10 page "here's what's going on when I'm gone" document that she'll need to follow up on. i just ( Read more... )

yet another view into it all for those who wonder why i dress up in armor - the 501st is the subject for a movie coming out, Heart of an Empire.
