I hope you'll forgive the absence of my normally insightful and almost painfully interesting commentary, but I was in what someone might politely call 'a shit mood' for the whole of last week and rendered completely unable to post anything of value whatsoever. Upon rising on Saturday morning though, I discovered that my ill mood had broken like a fever. I can't explain it, no.
There's been little good news over here. Both the washers in our complex are broken for some reason and nobody has been out here for the greater part of a week to repair them. I'm running low on clean clothing, so I might have to find somewhere in town to wash them, but we're supposed to be getting this huge ice storm starting on Monday. If that's true, I'll have to use the last weeks one saving grace - the fact that I was issued a company laptop to work at home during attacks of inclement weather - in order to function. I don't have a viable headset yet, though, which means that I'd be receiving service calls for work on my cell phone which will eat up my tiny allotment of minutes in record time.
Not reimbursable, ect, et al. So, generally, I hope for the sake of my poor cell phone plan that I'll be able to make the slog to work come tomorrow morning. There's an upside in the long term - if things go well and when my headset comes in, they may just set me up to work from home. Much better then taking the accident-ridden 270 West to work every morning, even if I do kind of like the drive in the spring and summer.
I seriously haven't been up to anything other then that - not even running games. The whole scheduling thing hasn't been resolved yet, but we're resuming on Tuesday for Mage, and I'm feeling like I should start working the game to its conclusion. I finished reading Battle Royale, and I'll probably weigh in on that later on, but I haven't got the books I reserved from the library in yet, so my essay research is a little on hold. One great upside is that the apartment was a pit and now it's looking pretty nice. Not bad, if I do say so myself.
