The end of the year exhaustion is starting to set in. I'm on 6 projects at work, and for one of them I need to work on it in my spare time at home. Let's face it. You can't be allocated to that many things and just not let things fall. Everyone's priority becomes your priority. I'm alright, except for the this creeping overwhelming feeling of ( Read more... )

As always the amount of free time that I seem to have accumulated is always dwindling. This time mainly due to the fact that our wonderful 3day holiday is coming to a close ( Read more... )

The hackers deleted 5yrs of gaming, and they decided to use my fresh capped level 80 as a loot mule (like a drug mule) to smuggle black market items to another server by trying a paid transfer.

He can tell something's up and that he has to be be near me today. I just don't think he realizes that tomorrow morning I'm going to be leaving him all alone for a week, he just knows that something's not right.

A bunch has happened lately - Wednesday, myself, Sam and Jason went out to go see The Golden Compass. The freakin' polar bear was amazing ( Read more... )

I gave in to getting my dad a sweatshirt, but not just any sweatshirt - I'm getting him a Rockies sweatshirt. Sam thinks that I'm evil for doing that, because it's a constant reminder that I'm out here and not at home. I see it as a proud symbol that he can wear and show off and be all like "My daughter's in Colorado, so yeah!" - basically I'm ( Read more... )
