The Daily Grind
I don’t think there has ever been a point where i’ve simply sat down and ground anything out for an extended period of time…. that is prior to the past couple of months. It appears to be getting to that time of year when no one has time for anyone and it’s business as usual in terms of work / sport / leisure activities.
At work it’s more of the same, i dislike the usual calls where someone i work with has stuffed up and i am required to do the work again but i just grin and bear it. Due to my ‘wonderful’ demeanor and attitude towards people who constantly do the wrong thing i generally find myself on the outer with most of the people i work with save a few people who almost always do the right thing and usually will go the extra mile to do something right which i think is an acceptable loss if it means that i rarely get invited to Friday drinks because it’s organized by one (or a few) of the people who know what i feel about their quality of work.
I also find it funny how the weather always seems to have a sick sense of irony in regards to moods, lately when i’ve been having a less than fantastic day it has been bright and sunny with a warm breeze but when i’m having a good day i am generally met with rain and a chill in the air.
Much like work some of my old friends from school seem to have better things to do that have a conversation about how their life is going, mind you a lot of them are from the mould that if you show your emotions it makes you a ‘queer’, emotions being discussing your life in general outside the standard 1980s ‘manly’ stuff. I guess people just move on and i’m begining to see what others have told me about in regards to losing touch with people they went to school with and slowly drifting apart which in itself is sad but i guess people grow and move on with their lives and prioritise newer friendships and relationships over older ones.
On to more positive stuff! I have been going well in World of Warcraft with my new guild (Fallen Chapter on Blackrock US) but have been struggling to get a raid spot of late which frustrated me because i play the game to raid and for nothing else really, having said that it has given me time to get in to PvP a bit more and i’m starting to accumulate a nice PvP gear set as well as a Holy set which allows me to do well in Battlegrounds as both Holy and Retribution (i play a Paladin for those who are wondering what i am talking about). I am going to start work on my little side project BaconOfLight (named after the Paladin Ability Blessing of Light) which will be a site dedicated to all things Paladin (much like the other xpaladin.com sites around and various weblogs) which will hopefully be useful as a resource to someone once it’s up and running with populated pages… we will see however.
If you jump over there now (baconoflight.com) it’s just a placeholder.
Anyway, i’ll make another update shortly in regards to a few things i’m working on (this time i will… i hope) and hopefully some good news!
