Hello, didya miss me?
Now for a super-special extra report from the headquarters of Rinoaland, this is
I know what I did last summer, or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the burnout.
Summer has gone in a flash of brain-melting haze. Only during July I've driven over 2 500 miles, spent only four nights in a hotel and generally been teetering on the brink of complete exhaustion. I've loved the actual work, most of the time, but as soon as I get home I'm so wiped out and effectively braindead. You know it's been bad when I've been too tired to watch Angel reruns.
On the other hand, the first overnight stay I came upon a qualifying round of a national rock karaoke contest, so I participated. And won. I'm heading to the semifinals around September.
What else? Well, I've completed my first round of neuropsych tests for ADD. Second round coming up in 1-2 months, and then some more waiting and I'll know for sure.
Work ends this week, gotta squeeze out the rest of my massive report tomorrow. God I'm gonna get a full-body anesthesia after this is all done.
And now for the Big News:
Today I got a Very Special Phonecall. It was the communications manager for Xbox Finland, inviting me to the X06. Which is, let me adjust my tie for this, a Europe-wide party of everything Xbox, from new hardware to sneak peeks of games in production and all that jazz, hosted by Microsoft.
And I got personally invited! AS A JOURNALIST! OMG!
So, I guess I'll know where I'll be come September 27-28. In Barcelona, biyatch!
...So, how was your summer, people? Please, please take a moment and drop a comment. Feel free to bypass everything about me. What I really wanna hear is you; what ya'll been up to while I've been out of commission. I've missed my f-list so much!
*lotsa huggles and sparklies*
