For the love of…
I’ve been waiting for bids on software all day, and there’s such a rush on getting this order in, I’ve been afraid to leave my desk for fear of missing a bid. As a result, I sat at my desk, in my chair, for 8 hours straight. I sat down at 8:00 and started calling for bids and didn’t get up until 4:00 when I finally got a bid in. I so need to not be here now.

FUCK YOU!
“Don’t worry sir, we’ll be able to get you those quotes this morning, probably within the hour.”

I keep waiting for this one faculty member to hypervetilate or explode. We’re doing things “as fast as possible,” but attempting to buy $5000 worth of software with government money doesn’t work as fast as going to the store and buying one copy with cash.
Hmm, maybe I should just buy one copy 55 times. That might be faster.

I spent another hour painting after Craig’s game and dinner. I feel like I’m getting nowhere, but I’m sure I’m actually making headway. If you can see in the photos above, there are some white stripes on his leg and a couple of pouches on his belt. the now match the lighter brown on his boots. Doesn’t really feel like an hour’s worth of work to me though. Anyone else out there who paints minis, what is your pace like?

I painted for two hours last night. I feel like I made so little progress but I guess maybe I’m just very detail oriented and I try to be as clean as possible with my lines. I just feel like it takes forever and I can’t concentrate on it for more than two hours at a time. Even that was kind of a marathon for me.
Today I’m going to Craig’s D&D game. I’ve become more interested in it again, which is good. It was close to being dropped there for a while. I honestly think the move to 2:00 was good for it because now I can get home and spend some time with Heather rather than getting home, going straight to bed, and then going to work first thing in the morning. That just wasn’t really working for me.
I’ve got Christmas shopping to do, and for some reason, it’s not really exciting me as it usually is. I think it’s the whole money issue. I still want to buy stuff for people, I love giving gifts, but I’m concerned about how our money is flowing. At any rate, I’m waiting to hear on a gift for Heather. There’s an auction I’ve bid on, but it’s going to take too long, I think, to win the auction and get it shipped in time for Heather’s birthday, so I emailed the seller, but they haven’t emailed me back. I really hope to hear from them soon.
Oh well, I’ve already blown 20 minutes here when I should have been getting ready for Craig’s game. Now I’ll probably be late again. Until I write again, here are some pics of the mini I’m working on, in progress.

I’d worry about destroying my signal to noise ratio…
But I really liked the result I got on this one.

Sometimes I’m just lonely.
