No game time this week, on top of very little the week before. It's nearing that time of year at work that is normally chaotic to begin with but will be compounded this year by massive organization restructuring. Personally, I've never worked any where that goes through this kind of upheaval as frequently as XXXXXXXX does. It's stressful, causes reduced productivity, angst, and inevitably ends with waving goodbye to large amounts of personnel.
I was on a conference call late in the day and someone asked me, "How's it going?" I'm sure it was just idle chatter and they didn't really want to know. I did a large in take of breath and then hesitated so long that we all burst out laughing. My response, "I can't even begin to describe and don't want to lie so I'll just let the question pass," was met with mutual understanding as we all concluded, same-ole-same.
By the end of the day I'm so wound up and stressed that I don't even know how to decompress anymore. I pace, start and stop things, think about flipping through a magazine or calling friends, but invariably just end up sitting in a chair and starring into no where for quite a long time. Feeling as I do, the last thing I'm in the mood for is a game. By the time I do feel more like myself, it's late and time to try and get sleep some.
I used to think it was bad being on the outside looking in. But it's hella worse being on the inside looking out, at the faces of unsuspecting victims. Many of whom are about to be steam rolled by an avalanche of bullshit rolling down from on high.
Net-net is FUCK NO, I haven't been playing WOW or anything else!
