I am so ****ing pissed right now.
I should be finishing up a video project right now, I'd cleared my schedule completely of work until Tuesday so I wouldn't get behind on anything. And I get notification at 5 ****ing 45 tonight that the association I'm working with has rejected a client's ad, and that client can't get in touch with the association contact because he apparently left as soon as he sent his message out and isn't returning calls (he was sent this ad a week ago, and then another copy around 11 am). So now I either get to plug in an alternate ad, and work all night starting about 9 pm, or I get to start working on this tomorrow sometime and probably miss a significant portion of the first day of the weekend (which is probably the last time I get to touch the game until December...). I could ****ing kill somebody right now. |

That sucks, keg. Hopefully you can get it all taken care of quickly and get some quality testing time in.

Found out tonight that one of the guys in my guild (for launch) is in this weekend. |

So I worked until 6:30 am. How I managed to stay awake I don't know. But I made it home and passed out about quarter after 7. About 9:30 I hear hammering from the apartment upstairs. Maintenance guys sound busy. Sleep through that. Must be tired... Wake up about 15 minutes ago. Turn on my PC to make sure nothing's up with work. My internet's down. So today's basically been a comedy skit so far.

That freaking sucks, man. I was about to say that after working all night, at least you didn't have to wait all day and could play in a couple of hours. But no internet makes that kind of hard (I assume you're posting from your phone). Does the cable company have any idea when it'll be back up?
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. |

Oh,I got the internet up and running fine, I was just laughing at the Murphy's Law of it all...
I'm going for a bike ride now, burn another hour off the clock. Well, once I make sure my video drivers are up-to-date. |

Right on. I thought you meant that your internet was still down.
I'm going to head home in about an hour, spend some quality time with the fiance, and then log in later this evening. |

This is one of those weekends that reminds me why I'm so happy with being divorced since 2003. If I want to spend 60 hours in TOR, there's nobody to bitch about it.

This is an honest question, stemming from my days as a single gamer: do you ever get sort of depressed or disassociated from spending that much time gaming? It used to really **** with me when I would be online for 18 hours at a time mudding. I'd like get in my car and drive, and be like a zombie... didn't even really realize that I was in my car or what I was doing except that I had to get the F out of my house for a while (I could see your biking and exercising helping that, though).

Uhm, yeah, that can happen, although as you mention the exercise helps a lot. Eating better and sleeping like a regular person seems to help, too.
My job isn't a whole lot different than gaming binges, either. Basically it's like anything else: if you go to extremes there will be bad side effects. I can do this for a weekend. I won't play like this after release though. At least not after the first couple of weeks (which will be crazy...). It'll balance out to a few hours a night eventually. |
