OMFG UPDATE!
It's been forever since I've updated here. So here's a run down of the important bits:
* Still in pain from the accident in October. I'm starting to wonder if I will ever get better.
* Got fully hired at RI Textile. Only making $10 an hour, but it's not like I'm in the position to argue for more when I still cannot work a full 40 hour week yet thanks to my back.
* Went to Pax East and got hooked on the World of Warcraft TCG cuz they had coupons to get starter decks for $5. Since then I have over 1,000 cards and one really awesome Worgen Druid deck that Dan refuses to ever play against again. I <3 that deck, it pwns.
* Discovered that there is a gaming store a few blocks from where I work. Went to it a couple of times with Dan and it's a great place. Not really the kind of place you'd go if you want a wide selection of stuff to buy, but it's a great place to hang out and chat with other geeky ppls.
* Tried the whole Larping thing again and the whole thing went better this time around. While I mostly stayed in the tavern the whole time, I had fun. Also think it did me some good as it is the long drives and uncomfortable office chairs that are infuriating my back the most. Walking around and only having hard benches to sit on was actually beneficial. Although my knees hated me, but I'm so used to knee pain I can ignore it, unlike severe back spasms and such.
* Found out my awesome boss is going to be leaving in a couple of weeks. I'm not really sure on the details, but it makes me sad. I hope things remain ok after she leaves. I know it's going to all odd since I got most of my work from her. She's like the 4 person to leave in a month's time, which is just weird since they've all been leaving for different reasons. My boss leaving is just so unexpected....
Anyway, that's all I got for now really.
