Fri:
Finished the next chapter. This was heading out to the waterfall
that night so Malachite could tell me the news about the research he
did into my condition so I can buy off the curse weakness. Hard to
justify when I still have magic skills to put XP into but it could
be a nice diversion. Oh and he confessed to me as well! Squeeee! Not
that I didn't know, given what had come before but a girl likes to
hear it said. (So I've been told, I wouldn't know for a variety of
reasons)
Had another one drive meeting, maybe some action coming soon? The
people making the app have maybe, finally, at long last figured out
a way to accept or send or whatever it is they're doing larger jobs.
Maybe some kind of chunking? Maybe we should get on that before the
customer just says forget it, because it's been months?
Went to the bank, did the shopping, briefly saw my parents. Brought
them more stuff.
Put stuff away at home.
Had putine. How could it not be good? Small portion in my opinion
though, I could have had a whole other order but then I guess I'm a
bit of a pig in any case.
Then game. We cleared this leg of the journey (after 3 weeks) and
can move on to leg #4 of 5. Didn't even use violence, we just showed
the lord of the land the spirits he was harming and the pollution
being caused by the townspeople and he caved like a little baby. Or
something like that. Maybe it'll be pirate ships next times? I was
promised pirate ships. But as usual it took us the entire time just
to do that.
Sat:
Got the plastic all put up in the attic area. I had just enough on
the second roll to do it, and I shoved it under the stuff that was
already there. So that part is now double insulated. I also saw that
past that area is another whole crawlspace! Huh. But it's kind of
impossible to get to so it's just all blocked off now. Oh well.
Still have some plastic left, I used the scraps from the other side
on this side, there's a lot in those boxes!
Checked sites.
Had lunch.
Watched part of a movie.
Then left for Sean's. I won a game about birds, we had pizza, and
then did a test run of Sean's new color based system. We rescued a
kid from down a hole and beat up some goblins. Thankfully the
stealth archer build Neil had was fairly effective, not that much
stealth was involved but I've been playing Skyrim again so you know
how that goes. My companion hardly did anything! It needs to be more
powerful but thankfully, the system allows for that quite easily.
It's now "half" as powerful as I am, playing only four more sessions
(If a perk is gained every time of course) would put it at a minimum
as powerful as me, and then it gets bonuses on top of that depending
on how I roll so it would then be far better than me at all rolls. I
also forgot to tell him the spirit had "combat master" or whatever
it was so it should have been much faster in combat. Whoops! That
one was on me. Well, live and learn.
Sun:
Got up fairly late because I was at Sean's way too late last night.
Checked sites, finished the movie I was watching.
Then left for my parent's house. Had a nice easter, though I was
quite ready for bed by the time I got home. Two nights of
inturrupting my sleep schedule takes a toll on me.
So I got ready for tomorrow, thankfully no calls, and went to bed
quite early.
Mon:
Saw Sean wanted to do Xbox the night before. Yeah, I was in bed
before you even asked. And it's all your fault anyway for living so
far away.
Work time!
Made an appointment on Wednesday to get my tires rotated, as it's
been 5,000 miles.
Otherwise, not much. Many people are out this week, I guess school
is out? Not sure. Anyway, nothing new came in.
I wrote the next chapter of Emberhaven, we're just about to the
point we left off on in game. I could write maybe a paragraph about
us flying over there, but we didn't really have a plan for the
approach so I'll just leave it.
Did second work. Her machine had one suspicious thing on it from
Mbam, and with an SSD the scan didn't take long. Weird, how did they
get into her accounts?
Back here I checked sites, had dinner.
I guess the guy didn't get my message on Friday, I'll have to call
him back.
I called him back. He got the stuff, he said it was fine.
Tues:
Had some meetings today. Still nothing concrete to give the onedrive
people, but we have a meeting on Thursday with the writers so maybe
we're making progress towards a solution.
Another Joe meeting as well. And we talked to Gina about what we're
testing for her feature. It's not nearly as much as I thought simply
because the changes aren't part of the customer request. She said it
was Joe's project, but no, it's not. We're not even sure where these
changes came from. Sooooo yeah.
Went to see the guy about his TV. Apparently his daughter told him
to use the spectrum remote. He wasn't. The TV remote sucked. I told
him to use the spectrum remote. He's going downhill, honestly.
Then out to another "cleanout" but it was fine. Slow, it's a PC so
duh, but everything was fine. I could have done it remotely.
Tomorrow is tire rotation day.
Checked sites, had dinner.
Wed:
Maybe this feature does have the card reader stuff? Does Gina not
know her own project? I don't get it.
Got another big haul today! I know, it's crazy. Gave most of it to
my parents. I kept a few sandwiches, had one today and I'll have a
grilled cheese tomorrow. More cheesecake too. Living the high life.
Made two new spells, figured out how to make the Nataruk in Paragon.
Then just did more reading. What a slacker I am. I know.
Rained pretty heavily all day.
Got the tires rotated, and changed the break fluid as suggested. No
problem.
Came home, checked sites.
No game this Friday? Seems Sean is quite swamped at work.
Thurs:
Met with the onedrive people today, they're getting the fixes ready
so maybe in two weeks (ugh) we can have something for the customer.
Let's hope they are okay with that delay.
Had the usual priority meeting, Don was out so Christina ran it.
Oh and did one of my annual training, so I know to report
maleficence and not commit age related hiring decisions. Good thing
they reminded me.
Otherwise finished the latest chapter of breaking the system.
Sinjorino designs the magic for their bow and the wizards get to
work. Slamming!
Went to get cat food. Very rainy out. No snow though, thank
goodness.
Came back here, checked sites, ate dinner. Trackpad guy was late but
an hour later I had his two trackpads switched. The one does work
better, I will admit it.
Let's look to the future. Not sure if any work will come in
tomorrow, but I doubt it. Maybe next week sometime.
Shopping, see my parents. No game like I said before. I'll clean up,
make sure I'm ready for the flooring adventure. Get my hammers ready
and such. That will be Saturday, probably most of the day. We'll
see. I'll be ready for it!
Then Sunday to recover I guess. That should do it for this week.
Don't burn your eyes out on the eclipse or anything. In fact just
stay home, we don't want you here clogging up our streets. Honest.
Bye!
