I've been working hard on my project. So I came to the Green Muse, a local coffeeshop, so that I could take a break away from the house and still do some work. I was getting pretty stircrazy ( Read more... )

I can't believe that I did this ... but I did. I am the Owl; I hardly ever leap before I look. But this time ... I did.

I said in an earlier post that I looked at the sample module. And I did, but I hadn't actually played it. Until today. I'd started to play, a while ago, but didn't get far or finish, for some reason ( Read more... )

Still at Chick-fil-A. My frustration level is rising rther rapidly because of the work I'm trying to do -- I've been screwing arouind with game scripting -- kind of lilke a complex programming language -- to get things to happen the way I want them to ( Read more... )

I'm at Chick-Fil-A, I've got ZOMGLAPTOP (obviously), the wi-fi is working (again, obv), and I just had one of the best fast food customer service experiences I've ever had. I have fresk dark coffee. Daughter Ariann is occupied with the indoor playscape and a couple of other kids ... and I've got to work on the module. I have about 9 days left, ( Read more... )

Dammit. Crap. I missed the deadline for the Neverwinter Nights module contest I alluded to beforeWell, to be perfectly honest, I knew I was going to miss it -- the timing was extremely bad, and I was in Washington when the deadline came on the 20th of this month. Given when I learned about the contest, and all the preparation for the trip, and ( Read more... )

In retrospect, I see that my life was sort of "on hold" when I was working for my last company. I liked the company, hated the job, but toughed it out -- I'd go to work, find ways of not going nuts, come home, try and relax, then do it all over again ( Read more... )

Last week I told Tracy, my supervisor's boss, about my brain injury (TBI). It went pretty well, I think. She made time for me very quickly, and she really seemed to listen to me. Their bottom line, of course, is the smooth functioning of the call center, and not whether or not John has a brain injury. As long as I continue to do my job in the ( Read more... )

I got home today from work ... and I cried. Since when was this in the plan? After I finished, I entered a semi-vegetative state for the next hour or two. I never do this ( Read more... )

I'm almost scared to write. I mean, I work in a call center. There's always the spectre of The Next Call hanging over my head. Thankfully I've been moved to a morning shift (0700 - 1600 for the curious) and that is currently far less busy than my previous 2d shift (that was 1530 - 0030). And I get to see my daughter more now, so it's good all ' ( Read more... )
