I have worked my butt off this week. Or I should say "I am working my butt off this week" since I still have 19 hours of work to go before my day off on Sunday. After which I work -- surprisingly, only 48 hours the next week, which results in two days off rather than one. Sunday is one of those.

I am worn out! Already, making today and especially tomorrow some pretty substantial hurdles for me to vault. Like climbing a mountain. Ironically, even when I have a day off, I don't have the money to DO anything on it but sit at home and play video games...

What aggravates me is that I can't keep my schedule straight. Mostly because I keep forgetting to put my full written-out schedule in my bag, but it's also true that I can no longer just check my schedule in the book here at work. That's a nagging frustration to me. I worry irrationally about showing up to work at Braddock some day when I'm not scheduled to be there... Oh well. I'll pick apart the schedule book later on the 2nd, which is a day I'm sure I'm there. It's written very strangely.

This is just a period of time when I feel like I'm spinning my wheels.

I really need to sit down and dig through agents to query, but my free time is so rare and precious right now I usually spend it in de-stress. My new computer can actually play games, after all, and I'm enjoying taking advantage of that. Dual-core IS better for multitasking.

Though Neverwinter Nights blew a gasket royally when I tried to play it. Apparently it relies heavily on time data from the CPU, and two cores results in teleporting characters and flickering graphics! Luckily there's a simple config fix that made it better. I haven't played it much though.

Been dabbling a lot in RO. That's fun, I wish I could round up more people I knew for the server we play on. Not that I have much time, but it's simple and lighthearted enough that it can be picked up and dropped pretty easily. It'd be nice to have more friends doing it.

...takers?

I don't know what I wanted to accomplish by posting this, except to vent. I just need a break from my life, right now.

What's "RO?"

I suppose that just having asked that reduces my total geek-cred score to zero...

Ragnarok Online (https:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ragnarok_online) is an MMORPG most popular in Korea. Now ordinarily I reject MMORPGS, as I like neither the people on them nor the mindless grinding necessary to raise levels. RO's software, however, has been emulated, and thus a lot of private servers have popped up with different stats -- such as obscene advancement rates. I've seen some advertising the gain of EXP at 12,000 times the official rate. (Of course, these ones also increase the level cap and so forth...) That's a bit much for me, but even at a more modest 30x or 100x advancement I feel no qualms about diving in, whacking some monsters, and not feeling as if I have to devote an excessive amount of time to the game.
