Mostly just seeing what a reblog looks like.
I think my achievement would be “posted in two consecutive months” or something lame like that.
I still am not quite sure what this blog is for. I don’t even really post about all the movies I watch and the books I read, so its real purpose to give me places to post about non-game stuff isn’t working out, either. At least I can keep ragging on kickscammers.
I really have to get working on the static site conversion at some point, though Scopique’s experiences have made me a little uneasy about the whole thing.
First release for our new app at work in this coming Saturday. It was also supposed to be a Malifaux tournament in Rhode Island of all places, but I can’t go because see re: have to work. In other news, I’m being removed from that project immediately afterward, which is too bad, because I was really looking forward to leading it. But I guess my best was not good enough so I’m now being moved to a pseudo-level 2 response role, the SWAT team.
“Special Weapons and Tactics?” I asked. “Are you sure our team name should involve weapons?”
I helpfully suggested a few other backronyms for SWAT but I don’t think people really felt it needed explanation. They say that until someone shows up to work in Kevlar. Not that I have ever met anyone on my team in real life.
That’s unfair. I knew one guy fairly well, but he moved to Colorado. I also suspect I may have met one or two of the others, but I am really bad at remembering names, or faces, or that the people still exist if I haven’t seen them for awhile. Object permanence is not my strong suit.
When my daughter moved from California to Connecticut and started working at the local PetSmart, I was paranoid that I wouldn’t recognize her — my own daughter — when I dropped in at her store. Obviously I did recognize her (to my relief) but the fear was real. I don’t know how many friends I’ve lost because I just stopped thinking about them until years later when I suddenly remember them and wonder whatever happened to them. This isn’t some age thing, this has been happening my whole life.
Well, I guess I have added enough irrelevant stuff to this reblog. So go read Wilhelm’s blog. He turned off the ads.
