The Suck is strong within this one.

It was a pretty horrible day yesterday. The day before I had workd 13 hours to finish preparing an event at work. So I dragged in myself for another day of work bright and early on tuesday morning despite that. It was a pretty bad day. One of those days where you feel deeply bored & tired but you have a ton of work to do and you kinda fight the sweet sweet sleep all day long. I also walked all the way to a clinic to get my Health insurance card renewed only to be told then even though I had all the required documents, I needed the letter they sent me to prove that they asked me to renew it. It doesn't matter if the card is clearly saying it's expiring, i'm obviously cheating. I really need this card to go to the dentist now... my teeth hurt....

General lots of work, little sleep and technology failling on me didn't help. My work computer went boom. I just discovered my answering machine hasn't worked in a month.

Can I use MSN on a mac? My home pc has been down for a month and I miss online chatting. I have IM but I have more people on MSN. Is it possible to integrate both on ichat?

Oh, and the best part about yesterday - woman bitching about our phone message being bilingual with french first. We are in Ottawa, so obviously english should go first, according to her. Since she lives on the Quebec side, she whined that she had to DEAL with french first all the time and that she was amazed and outraged that she also had to deal with french first in Ottawa. Because after all, french is a horrible, horrible language. Long story short, she left a pretty bad and angry  message describing to us why using french in Ottawa FIRST is bad because french is useless since obviously, nobody speaks it in Ottawa and we just keep it for appearances and it should always come in second. Or not at all. Because she added that it made our message long and annoying.

Never mind that everyone in the office in french canadian. Yes, nobody was offended by this. At all.

*grumbles*

MAN, I miss spending a whole day JUST PAINTING. Need a break from B.S. and a hug.

Well, even within D&D it's possible to have the main goal known, but you have to work toward it by doing the smaller quests. We actually did have something like that happen in Relina's party. At one point we had to fight off golems (that hit really hard!) in order to claim a precious stone of some sort, but it wasn't until quite a while later in the campaign the stone was revealed to be able to cause time travel. (The DM used it to fix mistakes we made during the game, such as letting certain party members who actually knew the main plot die. Whoops...)

I think keeping the game small will help, too. Stick with the 'core gamers' who are here to have fun and work together, not anyone who tends to just slow things down since they don't want to go along with it. -_-;;

Yeah, obviously, at some point, stuff with engage into a higher goal, but I should have started with smaller goals rather then jump in with the huge storyline right away.

Aw, be fair. *laughs* I think everybody was willing to play and follow the story. It just got too complicated and weird at some point with the huge plots and subplots. I think everyone tried their best. It's true that some people are more gamers then others though. I for one, am totally not a gamer when it comes to D&D and video games

I don't know, I was having fun with it as is, but oh well. I don't think it depends on whether one is a gamer so much as how well they can follow a story. O:)
