Yay! My overnight script didn’t die a horrible, smoking death. Everything passed, 100% – can you give me a w00t or something?

I also came in to find a pile of new equipment sitting on my work table.
Apparently 11 telecommunication systems, 10 additional monitors/TVs, three webcams, a desktop, a laptop, a DVD player, a whole slew of video splitters, two Edgeports (with the concurrent serial port setup/cabling)and a multitude of IP and ISDN lines just Weren’t. Enough.

Yanno….If ever I do decide to have another kid, they’re going to be bombarded with a huge amount of radiation* from all this stuff.

So, I am told that my Sunday gaming group is going to do an Eberron game soon. While I am a bit bummed as I am enjoying the Heroes Unlimited, I *love* the setting. Its got new critters, new attitudes and even better to my mind – alignment isn’t the OMGWTF you must conform to your alignment or Face the Consequences crap that it is in other DnD settings.

So…who all is going to TRF this weekend? What about next? Or even T-Day weekend?

We were going to go this weekend but I am looking at our finances and honestly? It would be better if we went later this month. We’d like to camp out either Fri or Sat night; personally, I would prefer Sat night and then go home on Sunday but that’s just me.

How much for the wimmen?

What a gray and nasty day outside. Although fall is my favorite season*, I sometimes despise how it looks in Texas. We don’t get pretty colors, or spectacularly crisp blue skies. Mostly what we get is a pervasive damp chill. Lowered clouds that lay like a dirty blanket across the sky. Dispirited looking plants and trees. Hell, dispirited *people*. Alot of people in my office are down, sick, angry, depressed.
Walking into the office was like walking into a sodden wall of lethargy.

Or wait..maybe that is an everyday sort of thing?

*shrug*

Oh, well. If I had a point to make, its gone now. A dozen caramels & 4 cups of coffee** will do that for you.

The Daily Me

Quiet night last night. Which is probably good since I am still trying to shake this cold/allergy attack. Mostly just snuggled on the couch, read and drank water.

There was some brief commotion as the closet rod/shelf thingie was yoinked out of the wall. Poor DS. I think he was avalanched by the clothes.

Dear Fucktard in the Black SUV,

Yanno, I don’t mind you going faster than me. That’s actually my wish for my commutes – that everybody on the road would go *faster* than I am. But, whipping past me and then cutting in front of me in between the car I was a 1/2 car length behind – totally not cool. Because, then you realized your mistake & slammed on your brakes. oops! Seems I was going slower for a reason! Who knew?! Apparently annoyed, you slalomed out of the lane, narrowly missing another car. As you were forced to fall back again, you flipped ME off? WTF, dude? I was merely witnessing your fuckwittery! I had nothing to do with the fact that you apparently learned to drive from the backs of redneck racing mags. Next time, read the actual documentation instead of looking at the pretty pictures, mmkay?

Giggling like a fiend,

PS….why in the hell do you need a Hummer? I saw NO scratches, dirt, sport sponsor/affiliation stickers or other indications of actually needing a gas-hogging vehicle like that. I’m willing to bet that you haven’t had any animal feed, hay, engine parts, loads of kids/camping gear in it.
