Time Flies When You're Having...
...eighty hour work weeks.
Not that I am these days, not really.
Anyway, it occurred to me earlier today that a couple of Thursdays ago (the 9th, so you don't have to do the math) marked two years from my first day at the Simutronics home office. Doesn't seem like it's been that long, yet at the same time, it seems like this is where I've always been. I guess that means I'm fairly comfortable. This isn't what I saw myself doing even a few years ago.
At various times in my life, I've wanted to be a rock star, a corporate CEO, a theoretical physicist, a teacher, a graphic designer, and probably a ninja. Of all of those, I probably came closest to the physicist gig, as that's what my almost-degree is in. Maybe I'll pop back and finish that one day. For now, though, I enjoy what I'm doing. It's mentally challenging, and downright stressful at times, but I know I'd get bored with something that wasn't. Plus, it's just cool to hear people say, "You do what for a living?"
My biggest regret with the transition so far is that I miss talking to my rogues all the time...there's just no time left in the day for perusing the GemStone IV forums or messing around in the game. Hopefully time constraints will ease up one day, or they'll all come play the new game. In the meantime, just know that you guys are the bomb-diggity, as Ratboy would say.
Shut up, I have it logged. :p
No, dude, your mom.
In other news, this dinner of leftover pork fried rice, M&Ms, and Dew probably goes a long way towards explaining why I'm getting all fat. Well, not fat, fat, but fat-for-me fat. I need to knock it off, especially the Dew, but I'm too lazy to make coffee in the morning, and I can't drink water right when I wake up - it's just viciously bland - so I always wake up with Dew. That'll be a hard habit to kick.
