Not being able to use my work computer for personal things has killed my LJ posting time. I barely have any chance to read friends' stuff, but at least I work a bit of that in. But posting was always an as-I-start-work or lunch thing. So been tough to find alternate times. Have decided to try tossing it in an email that I can send home and tack up later. Though I can't write too much as prolongued typing is noticed. : /
Anyway, things are pretty much usual. Work (gone from hate to hate and very busy and stressed), WoW, and Animal Crossing: Wide World. Obviously we had a decent snowstorm this past Sunday/Monday, though we didn't get nearly as much as they said we would. Everything pretty much closed Mon/Tues., except for UNO and Creighton--UNO as is typical drug us in to then close at 1pm Monday, and had a late start of 10 Tuesday--though it didn't decide that until most of the early morning folks were en route or already arrived. Go go, clueless administration.
Gameage has been typical, though due to bad dragonkin color combos, Nefarian has been a bear these past couple weeks. Did finally get him both weeks though. AQ20 has been the effing suck, though really just Ossirian--our most recent 20 was actually really slick until that point. Did pass on a new rank of backstab though, which I'm still really torn on since I veryveryvery much want it. Just was the diplomatic thing to do. But in AQ40, we got the prophet Skeram down for the first time, which was worth celebrating. Got to explore inside the temple some, which alternates from bland oogy bug lair, to OMGPRETTYKEWL oogy bug lair. Neat music though, and the fireflies are hypnotic. Some guild drahmaz in reworkings of our DKP system, but I've been staying out of the discussions. Whatever happens, works IMO. *shrug*
BTW, mining ftmfw. I'm having extra nice luck in getting the special crystals and such that net much gold at the AH, so am making a dandy profit. PVP ftl, though--I want knight muchly, but am having no time almost to work towards that rank.
What else...had dinner with Dad and Dave recently. And though I'm not really into NIN, I'm adding 'Every Day is Exactly the Same' to my anthems list. Yeah.
I like my new arrangement of the desk in my cubicle, but I wish I had another small panel for the one side of the cube entrance. Never realized how very much everyone walking by *looks* in. I'm a gd zoo exhibit, I swear. Having a small panel--like everyone else does--even a glass one, would be just a bit of a boundary/barrier, and would help me feel like I'm in my own space, and not just kind of part of the aisle. At least I'm not started so often by people, since I can see them out of my peripheral vision.
I have *not* been snooping at a bit of IshiIchi/IchiIshi. I *haven't*. I probably wouldn't be snooping at it a lot more if I could use this computer for such on breaks/lunch. *growls* I blame Katkatkatkatkat tho. Someone should copy/paste text of the good stuffs into emails for me so I can sneak-read without being on some website. Or rather, so I can not read, because I'm not even glancing at it. Really. ...my kink for trios and luff for IchiRuki makes me wonder if there's some sort of (good) IchiIshiRuki or IshiIchiRuki about. That I wouldn't read. Rly.
Kk. Work. Right.
addendum:
Workwise: Buried in DVDs. At least it's temporary, but could be a couple months--more?--before we get it taken care of. Buried in Juvenile books (gd Scholastic fair). Still behind on new books--catching up? Can't tell. And naturally dealing with mixed media, theses, and my buddy/coworker is basically at the breaking point for the situation in Serials/Bindery. Seriously, they can hire two people in Systems--for the one that's leaving?--but not help her at all? She's only at one person/one student instead of three/two for years. There's something very, very wrong there, and they'll end up with her on medical leave for stress breakdown if they don't fix the situation. (O wiat, two of the three people in Systems are leaving, it turns out?)
Also have fresh brand-new hate for my supervisor for various reasons. And our dept. chair's retirement reception--her last day's the 4th--is today, and it brings me down. (Note: best retirement reception I've ever been to, only one I've stayed so long at--and it *really* brought me down. That or I was emoing/mood swinging anyway...) She's such an advocate for us, such a knowledgable and sympathetic person. The person who's chair for the merged department is decent, just nothing like her, and I really don't think is someone who will look out for us and stand up for us. Rather a bummer. I wish the one faculty in our area who used to be Asst.Dean/Dean would be in charge of the cataloging area, as she understands what we're about and what we contribute.
And I sincerely hope my debit card is at the restaurant from the other night, because otherwise I have no clue where it is. Rargh. (It was there. Wups.)
WoW addendum--BF chestpiece gotten recently is *yummeh*.
That better as hell be everything this time.
3-24 note: three of the five rogues on last night's MC run went the entire instance, from beginning to Ragnaros, without wearing pants, to protest that for all the *months* we've killed Rags, he still hasn't dropped the Bloodfang pants. Every other classes' leggings, sure...just not Bloodfang. Not even once. Yes, I was one of those rogues. Pance are a crutch! (They just about are--wasn't dying any more often, or having much change in damage, being panceless... )
