Of course! The back to work update! 'Back to work' means more then sitting in a cubical answering calls, though that pays the bills and I'm paid by the hour, so I'm surprisingly pleased to be back on the job. It also means regular work on gaming, both Mage and Exalted, and a more serious focus on my personal projects. I had plenty of time to do that back in St. Louis, but I was also on vacation trying to see as many people as possible, so I was pretty busy. Sometimes I feel compelled to rationalize my abject Fairview-oriented laziness, but then I am like, 'Everyone, I was takin' a break!' and I had a good one, so that makes me happy.
My favorite bit, and I never get tired of this, is how I can get on a large metal machine in St. Louis and it takes off through the air, no less, and lands 1700 miles away in Washington state. In between, I guess comfort is important somehow, and they give you snack treats and you can be served drinks. Does anyone else find large scale commercial transportation interesting? I don't know. The infrastructure is immense, all so we can visit family members and things. Then we get cranky when our planes are late. =D
Actually, I did get in kind of late. The plane was supposed to touchdown at 9:35 PM, and it ended up being 10 before we connected to our gate. It was 11 by the time that I got home, and the fact that I got home so early was no doubt thanks to the valient effort of Brent and Val, who certainly did not need to pick me up and did so anyhow. I had almost forgot that I had no working lightbulb in my room, which was fun, as I rooted around in the dark for my cellphone charger before I gave up and pulled all my luggage out into the living room to search. But today, all the work I did packing was worth it. I have all the clothing I bought and I get to drink tea out of my Rat Mug, which is close to my heart for bizzare reasons. Tea does not taste better out of it though. The Rat Mug is not magic. It just has rats on it.
