work: hoo boy, where to begin on that subject? i am so effing sick of working in a construction zone. i was in the breakroom over lunch yesterday wearing EARPLUG because they were jackhammering in the hallway outside again. The whole place constantly smells of diesel fumes and, yesterday, we had ridiculously high winds which led to a dust bowl in ( Read more... )

As of yesterday Kat is officially a cashier rather than a sales associate. Granted, standing in one place for eight hours brings its own set of aches and pains, but I'm not complaining one bit. It is so much less stressful and labor intensive and it's been a long time since I was able to come home from an 8 hour shift and not just collapse at the ( Read more... )

I survived. I wasn't sure I would for awhile there. It's been a crazy year, after all, but here I am, with only a few days to go until the New Year. I hope I'm not jinxing myself saying that, but I'm past due to post an update so here we are. Picture-heavy, so under an LJ cut

I try to have fun; I really do. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent an ass-load of money on that stupid game Con (about $80 for my pass and tickets), rented a car ($230), gotten a hotel ($90 a night), driven to fracking Columbus (a tank and a half of gas) when I hate highway driving, spent more than 5 hours in line to get my tickets, and then showed up ( Read more... )

4 hours of driving, 5 hours in line to get registered. That was pretty much it (their computers were lagging). I should have known it was going to be a long day when I walked in and heard a woman tell her friend as they walked by "this is worse than GenCon". Nor did I wear appropriate shoes *is a spaz* I did get swag when I registered, though (a ( Read more... )

So it has been brought to my attention that the Origins Game Fair is in Columbus this weekend. Hey, it's only the largest gaming Con in the country, right? How terrifying can that be? Well, pretty fracking terrifying, to be honest. Which, for some reason, isn't going to keep me from going. We'll file this under "proving I have nothing to prove" ( ( Read more... )

Not much to report here since my last post. No progress on the auction!fic today. Puttered around the house (which looks like a tornado went through despite a day's puttering) and spent the afternoon at the farm playing board-games with Heather. Forgot to write the scores, but here were the outcomes:

Pandemic: We got spanked so bad. the cards just ( Read more... )

random update is random, as per usual lately

Got there around 1 and left around 10. It was nice. Many, many people so I was jumping every time there was a sudden unexpected noise (which is a lot when you get 70 hard-core gamers most of whom are also dear friends in one space together playing). Entry-fee was $10 which includes two meals (pasta, salad, and bread-sticks for dinner and pizza and ( Read more... )

not that there's much to report but I figured I might as well *shrugs*

RP's going well. Watson's suit is in the process of failing so Will's going to go all drama queen over that since the new suit's not ready (and plan B is more dangerous than the Source). Plus playing Watson to Druitt in a friend's musebox which is always bittersweet
