Feeling good
Oct. 26th, 2013 08:55 amI don't believe I have felt completely "out of spoons" at any time this week.
My body clock seems to have clicked back into place, meaning being able to getup regularly at around 8am (with alarm help, and a lapse on Thursday), combined with a lack of other commitments/#AH alarms meant nearly a full week at work, most of which I felt was spent productively. This translates into money in the the bank :) Although I did take a few minutes and calculate that to get the nice round number after tax that I would like to I'll need to work two hours over my self-imposed maximum. Given the right workload (and lack of interruptions) this actually seems feasible in the near future. Not this coming week - public holiday and afternoon psych appt take out too many hours.
I also figured out that I have been working from the office now for about 13 months - for some reason I thought I started about November - checking back it was the end of September. Checking back also shows how far I've come in getting better - I was clearly in a far worse space this time last year.
Thursdays game, the second session of the campaign, ran as well as the first did. This group packs a lot into 3 hours, I think contributing factors compared to other games I have been in are
- everyone is there to play not chat
- I am not the only player constantly looking for things to do which will keep the game moving (yay)
- the DM is also very good at keeping the game moving along and throwing up interesting situations
As an aside it has also led me to learn how to use advanced filtering in Excel so I can generate useful spell lists. Although I should probably see if there is something similar in Google Docs for ease of sharing.
There is a long weekend ahead, basically meaning I can spread the chores I normally cram into Sunday over Monday as well, and I'm looking forward to it.
