Whirlwind Busy

I’ve been interviewing for a new job during the past week (phone interview, then in-person interview in another state) so I haven’t been keeping things very up-to-date.  And today I got an offer!  Woohoo! So looks like I will be moving. I report to the new job/city/state in 4-weeks, so I’m going to be ultra busy packing, moving, unpacking, getting used to a new town etc. etc.  So I’m not sure how often I’ll be able to update the blog, but hopefully things will get back to some semblance of … Continue reading

Spring Begins

My first crocuses started blooming today.  I was beginning to wonder if the daffodils were going to beat them, since they’ve been forming buds over the past few days, then BAM! out pop the crocus blooms, hehe.  That means I’ve got a TON of work to get done in the garden this coming week.  I still have to chop down all the dead flowers, vines, etc. from last season and prep the flower beds for this coming season.  I’ll probably leave the pond prep for a couple more weeks, cuz … Continue reading

Goodbye EVE… Again…

Well I’ve decided to axe my two EVE accounts, again.  It’s just not fulfilling enough to keep me hooked for very long.  One thing they could easily change that would keep me playing for much, much longer each time I re-subscribe would be to allow alts.  No, I mean really allow them – so they can train and actually contribute to their comrades, not the little, near useless errand runner things they are now. And, to allow more of them.  Three characters per account is stingy in the extreme for today’s … Continue reading

Work Aggro Suxx0r ! ! ! QQ

Man, what a couple weeks it’s been!  Been working on a big project for work that’s kind of my “6-mo. review” kind of project, so I’ve been working 10-15 hours a day, including weekends to try and get it done and “polished” in time for delivery, and I think I’ll make it, we’ll see.  The last time I talked w/ my boss though I could definitely sense a fever of anxiety as to whether he thought I could pull it off in time or not, and to be honest I … Continue reading

Month In Review

Oy, I can’t believe January is already done with.  It’s been a hectic month for me at work so I haven’t been gaming nor blogging nearly as much as I would’ve liked to.  Been burning the midnight oil (and beyond) for a couple weeks now  trying to get a project ready for “prime-time” by next week – no fun! In the gaming arena, I re-subscribed my EVE accounts – mainly to get my mining ‘toon into a Hulk, and my military ‘toon up to a point where he can use … Continue reading
