Slow Weekend ... and Week

So is everyone on Spring Break right now? Are most of our posters college students and office workers who spend their time on the boards while they're at work or school? I know weekends are dead here, but it's Tuesday now and ... ::crickets::

So, what was everyone doing this week (said in past tense just in case people read this later). I had an uneventful Easter, made a roast, ate some candy, the usual. Starting spring cleaning.

What about you?

I've been working on the wiki, personally.  Hasn't been slow for me at all. :)

Other than that, I've been doing a lot of gardening.  Last week I planted 4 different types of peppers, squash, zucchini, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.  Had a heavy frost last night, so I spent the day today digging up the raspberries and blackberries, heating them up with hot water, oiling the leaves, and hoping they didn't kick the bucket. :(

I kinda fell off.

I've hired three other guys to work on Tephra with me, and we've been cranking out enormous amounts of material over the past week and a half, and it'll continue to be that way.  Tephra's become a second job (or fourth, I think is what I'm on) for me.  I'll probably return to high activity soon, I'm just focusing on other things.

(Oh, and I'm running for president of this organization, and campus senator, and vice president of that organization, and applying for this job, and putting in my resume for these internships, and yes and yes and yes.)

My spring break was last week, but now I'm back into full swing in school.

1) Took on new vendor to company, planning product placement of said vendor.
2) Broke every sales record in the book in the 70 year old history of the company on Saturday.
3) Had one side of the family over on Friday and watched the little ones all play.
4) Saturday night watched my Igbarians trying to find the best way to never solve a puzzle (AAARRRGGG!!!)
5) Drove down to Ct. and let the wife's family oggle her belly that is presently stuffed with a 5 month old baby, 4 months unil birth.  Scary stuff indeed.

I just started school - second day today. I almost need a vacation after the vacation (or to go to bed at a proper time).

I was just slacking off during easter. Nothing interesting.

A baby, congratulations! :)
If what I just wrote didn't make sense, just ask. Though it probably doesn't make any sense to me either. :P

Its my Spring Break.

I decided to (finally) clean out my room. Its a horrendous task because I used to be such a pack rat and it's been a good 6 years since I did a deep spring cleaning, lol. Beyond that, I've been building and Painting my new Imperial Guard army... So, sad to say, I've been busy ;_;

Starting next week things will go back to normal for me, so expect me to be on my game then. :)

Grats on the baby Vreeg. Way to ... eh, I just can't make a gamer joke about that. I mean I'm capable, but it would be a low point on my history as a geek.

The wiki looks great Ishy. Maybe I'll have to look into learn it.

Does this replace your website, then?

Nah, I'll eventually update my website to match all the info I'm working on.  The fact of the matter is, it's really easy to do a stream of consciousness-like article on a wiki, and each separate page can have its own discussion - almost like having its own forum, so I'm trying to hammer out a few things before updating the website again.

Seriously, LV, congrats on that!

Slow... I've been dead...

1) Before the start of the year I was burned out. Couldn't think, read, or create.
2) Took a vacation at the start of the year. Felt refreshed wanted to start working on something again
3) The day I came back from vacation emergency on top of emergency at work. Thus the 60 to 80 hours a week work schedule happened. I posted a little on the weekends here as well as where the  Opal council watches (which is anywhere...)
4)Fast forward nearly three months, emergencies adverted and I'm going on another week long vacation. Starting Sunday.

With the emergencies at work dealt with and some R&R I should be able to come back and resume normal posting once again. That means new Adveria stuff as well as some reviews... hopefully



Edit: Oh great LV has reproduced... Now I'll have to wade through another massive setting...

Congrats LordVeeg! :D

Well I can't be any help.  I used to make settings back when I thought I wanted to DM.  Now I'm not so interested, so settings aren't something I bother with.
I'm a muck-levelist, I like to see things from the bottom.

We'll be glad to have you around more, however.  You have a unique take on things.

LV, grats on the offspring to be man.

As for the silence, On Sunday I was offered a tech position on a show that starts next thursday, so we've had rehearsal every night. Fitting 4 hours worth of my time in other sectors has not been easy.
To save myself time, I will never say IMO. Unless I say in fact before something, that means it's my opinion.
