It had started as any other day.  It was my first day back from a few days off, and as is typical my mind was not on work, but sinisterly plotting my next lot of leave.  I had one goal for the day: survive the monotony.  I've always seen work as a necessary evil, something I had to do to enjoy my geeky lifestyle outside of office ours.  I spent ( Read more... )

You still here?

Well here you go.

Finished up my Mass Effect campaign tonight, which was fun. The players stormed the Citadel and bravely fought the baddies, saving the remaining council and coming out victorious (and alive).

Other than that it was all right.

Le sigh. Tomorrow is my first day back at work. I cannot lie and say I'm looking forward to it. Heckarooney, I cannot be sarcastic and say I'm looking forward to it. I know, all good things come to an end. And at least they pay me.

Anyway, it has been a good stress-free holiday, filled with family, friends, Dragon Age, traveling, fun, Dragon ( Read more... )

Had my first roleplaying session of the year today ... er, yesterday (stupid sneaky midnight). It was an all action episode of my Mass Effect RPG, and the session was a chaotic affair as we got back into the rhythm of things and tried to remember were we had gotten up to before the end of year break.
