Day of Frustration and Fun
Aug. 7th, 2015 11:31 pmFrustration including:
-->The printer at work going down in a very weird way -- basically, having massive delays before it would print anything. We ended up having to reset it, but that meant I lost a couple of print jobs I had sent and had to kind of futz around with some of my paperwork
-->Unstable wifi/DragonVale at Providence Place, causing me to waste precious minutes waiting for shit to load
-->Bus home being a bit late, but it was a nice day, so that was just minor frustration. Getting a seat in front of a pair of semi-loud talkers was less minor in that regard
-->Going to do active tumblr RP tonight, only to discover Forgotten had eight replies and two of them were long and bleeeeh, not really THAT much in the mood
-->Discovering I missed a bit of code in putting up my latest "Forgetting You" chapter (one day I will learn how to do HTML the easy way)
Fun including:
-->Eventually getting on DragonVale and getting to set up things to take advantage of Double Weekend (also new limited four-element dragon! Egg's in my nursery)
-->Going to Dave and Buster's, hitting all my favorite games and trying out some new ones (they have an Angry Birds game now where you launch an actual Angry Bird ball at a screen to knock down pigs for tickets -- it's surprisingly fun). Won a big 102 ticket payout on SeaWolf, which was nice :)
-->Taking a quick walk around Newbury's to admire the scenery (and the latest way they've rearranged the place)
-->Hitting the Tutti Frutti make-your-own-yogurt kiosk on the way out and getting a cookies & cream (well, the spigot claimed that was the flavor, but it really looked and tasted just like chocolate) yogurt with 1 scoop each of M&Ms, Twix, and Oreos. Yeah, a bit bad, but I haven't really had a chance to indulge this summer, so I thought I'd treat myself a bit (and it's not like I gorged myself on chocolate ice cream when I got home -- I have a strict rule of 'no dessert except Fudgsicles after treats like that')
-->Having immediate inspiration on how to redo the beginning of the new Chapter 17 (Victor visiting the station and catching up with Victoria) -- I mentioned in a later chapter him going on a very unsuccessful interview for a clerking job, and I decided that should have happened that day and Victor's dwelling on it when he first goes to the station. Show, don't tell!
-->Getting a couple of early replies out for Butterfly Boy, who has it pretty quiet most of the time so yeah, at least there was that
-->Some extra short Helloween vids -- one of silly, one of redemption (he cheated to make it past a certain boss in his new Castlevania Saturday run, got called out for it, felt bad, and made a "okay here I go to do the boss properly" video to make up for it)
Hmmm -- guess it's been a pretty balanced day altogether. I'm still working on setting up Forgotten's queue for tomorrow -- up to the longish replies now! So let me get back to that. Night all, sleep tight!
