I feel a little healthier emotionally, but sicker physically. Something's taken root in my chest and it won't dislodge, making work for the last two days a real drag. More experienced first level analysts were asked to provide mentoring for analysts just leaving training, and that's actually what I've been up to for the last few days. When the site supervisor stopped by, he commended me on being a good analyst, which makes me feel pretty good despite being tired and cranky. That kind of thing previous supervisors I've had before this job never really understood; that people like hearing that their hard work is being noticed.
There is stuff planned for my weekend, even though I'm mostly going to take it easy. Second to last Abyssals game was last Thursday. The PC who'd been making trouble for us for so long had finally split and a separate session with an outside guest PC was run on Wednesday, and that character wasn't invited to the Thursday game - not out of spite, but because he just wasn't there anymore and nobody really wanted to split the game 4-and-1. The rest of us Abyssals descended into the Labyrinth to reclaim our names from the Neverborn, which I guess they had in their possession to return. In return, the Circle was broken as the cost, and we had to choose someone to expel. Our group chose the person who'd voluntarily left us after a surprising amount of debate.
I don't know if there's something to be learned from that. Perhaps that even if there's not immediate and direct ramifications for acting against your group, you may be selected as the fall guy as soon as that kind of decision has to be made.
I think Changeling is actually canceled again. It's one game away from resolution, folks. I can't get you guys to come in to wrap this up? It's a different and valid reason every time. Running two games a week is really trying. We're all adults, even if it sometimes feels like we're just pretending, and that time is precious. We chose gaming, but other obligations must frequently be met.
My next game is gonna be Mage. A friend is going to be taking over for the current ST to run a short D&D session using the Warcraft setting until our friend gets his bistro off the ground for this summer. In a fit of dramatically misplaced priorities*, fulfilling ones dream of opening up ones own restaurant and the attendant work takes priority of running Sidereals for me. I mean us. Yep.
I wish I felt a little better. It was like the old depression for a few days and even leveling out is a downer. It is, however, a reminder of how different my mind is now then before. That was a sample, and I didn't like it back. I'm exhausted now.
* I'm kidding!
