Negativity dump
Jul. 4th, 2014 07:06 pmThere have been a lot of positives in the week but except for Tuesday gaming all of them have come with a sting.
- I've done excellently at getting out of bed (mon- Thur) although my tolerance for just letting the alarm beep has grown on a daily basis. As a result I've had the time to catch up on some stuff and also managed close to my maximum number of hours at work
-- except I'm not charging for some of those hours because they were fixing a disaster of my own making
-- and it has possibly all been a bit much. The run came to a crashing halt this morning. I -almost- managed to stay out of bend about 6:30 .... then I didn't. Then I didn't manage to get the spoons together again until about 11, and spent most of that time upset with myself over the fact.
- on Thursday I managed to beat Puzzle Bobble (although not my high score) on the arcade machine at work.
-- Unfortunately that success was overshadowed by some issues relating to a client (and perhaps I may have been grazed by a windmill I was titling at :( )
- Thursday night was a "group" trip to the move "How To train Your Dragon 2", which I found to be a fairly enjoyable movie with some nice touches. I'd actually committed a significant amount of emotional effort to trying to get people along and I was with good immediate company.
-- the experience was soured by the overall organisation of the event being pretty shoddy - at one stage it was even cancelled and then it wasn't made clear that it was back on; the pre-event board games didn't really eventuate and then when we got to the theatre it was just 2s and 3s of people turning up, collecting their tickets and going in - there was no real group feeling to it. I am not going to unleash the entire rant.
-- I did have a nice Velvet Burger afterwards for dinner, but having returned to SAGA (where I had left my board games anyway) in hopes of a game to round the evening out I was just a little too late. I was OK watching the game of Seven Wonders 9and gritting my teeth at the commentary coming across from the other game), but it turned out to be the last game of the night and I probably should have cut my losses come home and lit the fire instead.
Various commitments also mean I'm not really getting a weekend this weekend, but that's OK. I'm just trying to get all this out of my head because I am going to a drinkies tonight where there will be many people I want to be happy around.
