Oh yeah, I have a Blog right? So after an average day at work here I sit watching L&O:SVU with my beautiful wife.

So I'm on day shift now, which means I get up every morning at about four in the morning. It's quiet in the house when I get up, usually everyone's asleep. (Sometimes my wife, who you'll notice I rant and rave about quite often, is awake to make me breakfast or lay out uniforms for the day for me.) It's weird but I've sort of become accustomed to it. The silence. The quiet. I sort of like it. In fact, I've become quite the antisocial fuck in my aging years. I'm not trying, actively, to refuse the company of other people...but yeah i guess I am.

Day shift is a different world in my line of work. Not only is the work itself different-I mean sure it's the same, but it's not. What really makes the shift for me is the people. It's hard to accurately describe, because there are good people on second shift, and third-but frankly it's just a different attitude on day shift. A better climate in my opinion. The people just seem to have more invested in not just the job, but each other.

As things get worse inside, it's good to have a crew of rough necks to back me up!

On the game front things have slowed down considerably. I've shifted gears as a result, and in part because I've lost some of the spark that made me game. I can't blame any single person, or factor. It's all added up. So instead of confronting it head on, I'll do a lot of what I do in my personal life-unfortunately. I'll get passive aggressive. I'll defer to make everyone but my own whims, and good judgment. I'm hoping to put my group back together, slowly but surely.

Each of my core players know that I'm there for them, in game and out.

On a less serious note I've taken a real liking to Axis and Allies Miniatures. It's a great game, I love playing it. I'll get a lot less of it than I want. But not for a lack of effort. If I'm lucky, Kain and I will get to throw some down on a regular basis. (And like that a quick Google talk conversation later it looks a quick game is set up for tomorrow!)

Well I'll try to post more often to this blog.
