4-day weekend ahead!

Whateley and I took a couple of days off in addition to our normal weekend, and we're gonna spend that time going places and relaxing. We need it!

Our shift is so timed that around the last couple of hours of our shift we go from "hey we're taking volunteers!" to "you have no choice, you're staying on overtime" to just as we leave overtime they say, "hey, it's back to volunteers again!" I know. Sucky. Perhaps we'll have to switch shifts around so we miss that window.

Not much news now but more news to come soon... I think.

Dang, it's been almost a month since I posted!

Not much has been going on. Whateley's birthday passed and he lamented about turning 28, which is so damn close to 30. He also got really sick and had a 103-degree fever at one point. He was miserable for a week. There were a couple of days where I went to work without him. That's when I discovered this: work sucks. The only reason why it was fun was cuz Whateley was there sitting next to me.

My birthday's coming up and this morning (well, morning in our time) we got together with Whateley's extended family (with visiting relatives!) for brunch to celebrate. I told myself this time, screw looking proper, I don't care if my in-laws think I'm a pig, I'm gonna eat 'til I'm stuffed! Anyway, it just reminded me how different Whateley's family is from mine. For one, we were the youngest ones there, and lamenting about being almost 30 was met with absolutely no sympathy.

There ain't much more news, other than we've discovered the wonders of Trader Joe's soups. I'm a few episodes into the third season of Babylon 5, and it's a really good show. The writing is superb. The budget was cheap and they couldn't hire the best of actors, but it's still a very good show. If anyone wants to see an anti-Trek sci-fi show, that is it. (If anyone cares for an explanation, then please pipe up!)

Anyway, the only drama seems to be virtual, where our guild lost a few people due to getting kicked out or leaving the game. I'm having fun. I don't get why other people aren't. Maybe they're not treating it like what it is, which is... a game. There's no need to base your entire social existence on that game.

If anyone has any news or links to share, please feel to post them in comments!
