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…

Fill this out and comment with your answer. If you do me i’ll do you. 😉
1. How did you first find my journal?
2. Why did you originally decide to friend me?
3. What’s your favourite part of my journal?
4. What’s your least favourite part of my journal?
5. Ask me a question. Be as random as you want.
6. Recommend a band to me, I’m curious what you think I should be listening to.
7*. Recommend a game to me, I’ve been bored lately and don’t know what to play.
* I added this one for my own edification, and to make it more personal.
I’m sorry…

Oh yeah, and don’t forget, tomorrow is MOVIE NIGHT at my place. I press play at 8:00 and if you’re late, you might miss the credits. Remember to bring drinks and snacks enough to share. If you’ve never been before, that doesn’t mean you can’t come this time. We’ve lost a few regulars so there’s new space on the floor (or the couch if you get there early enough and reserve your space)

I don’t think people realize how personally I take the events that happen in the lab. I spend close to the majority of my time, my life, doing things for the lab: buying equipment and supplies, fixing systems, working with the lab, testing software, trouble shooting issues. I dedicate a lot of myself to the lab and take the things that happen in there very personally. People don’t realize that a smart ass offhanded comment about the lab feels like a slap in the face to me. I just wish people could realize that.
This morning, when I walked in at 7:45 to get the lab ready to open at 8:00 (that’s right people, I get here eary to guarantee that the lab is open for you on time), I found that the night before someone had torn down all of our printing policy signs and replaced them with one sign stating that “Printing is Prohibited.” It was signed “the Staff” but I know it was a student that did it as a sort of political statement. I’m sorry, but if you have a problem with something in the lab, I am more than accessible for comments, concerns, questions, request, compliments, or what have you.
Grr. I just hate starting out my day like that. I’m going to sit at my desk and read my emails that actually compliment and thank me for all my hard work, make up some new signs for the lab, and file the entire issue away for posterity.
