Okay. Monday morning. And all I can think about is how I have all of next week off. 5 more days, and a week where I don't have to do all that much.

Coming Up for air.

-10:45 AM
I'm at a point at work right now where I do have a breather. Lately, I've just been coming in and throwing myself into the job, if for any other reason than to just pass the time. I do that, and I reach a point where there isn't much work to be had at the moment, so I kinda catch up with myself in those little snippets of free time.

My sleep schedule's still fucked up a little due to the weekend, but that usually resets by the time that Tuesday rolls around, and with Daylight Savings stuff on Sunday morning, I wonder if that will work. It was funny, yesterday: I had told ruby_bagonia about my impending vacation, and she said 'cool! You can do lots of RP.' My response: Hell, I can SLEEP. Which I plan on doing post-haste when it begins. I wonder what I'll be like when I do feel fully rested, since it's been a while.

Auuugghh!

-11:41 AM

We just got hammered. I think I did around 20 calls back-to-back just now, with customer's assorted problems, and ugh, my brain has skid marks right now. I barely remember it, but I do know I was kicking major ass with knowing my shit. My job's not ahrd, just stressful, really. A lot of it saps my confidence, with the way I'm treated by customers. But, it's a paycheck, which is basically the whole point.

I think there's a new girl starting in our department today. I saw my boss pass by with someone introducing her while I was hammering away at the orders that no one else was doing. So, this means for the next few weeks I get a slight breather, since the new person usually does faxes for training, leaving us having to do less overall. And when they're added to the phones, the calls balance out. So I'm trying to remain confident about it.

Continuing the Bad Tabletop Game saga.

Now, in an earlier entry, I /think/ I mentioned that a number of players were satisfied with Mike's game, and wanted something new to happen with a different GM, the only qualifications being that the GM be competent, this time. (Which, around here, is a taller order than most people realize. Ever wonder why I'm online a lot? Players that don't piss me off.) But that was the topic of conversation before the Saturday game. "Oh, so and so is so mad. And so and so doesn't like the game, and so-and-so-the-third thinks someone should start a new game." That's what I heard.

But, I need to think on myself. Am I having fun? Is it worth the time I spend at the game in question? Does it make me not want to Do Evil Things? Answer's no. So, I'm sending out e-mail either right after this, or when I get home, basically 'Okay, my character goes off. I'm leaving the game.'

Now, morality question: Do I owe an explination as to why I'm leaving? Because Mike, the GM, has a habit of needling people when they don't give an answer he wants to hear. But do I want to start a war by saying "Okay, my opinion of your game can be summed up thusly: This show sucks, change the channel." I can say 'I'm not having fun.' as my reason, and he go into the Mindy-like 'Whys' until my frustration causes me to snap and I start yelling at people like they should be yelled at. :)

It's not even me being cynical, I just know how people thing. I'll be the one to say something, and I will suddenly be the lone dissenter, no matter what anyone else said before. Now, how can I prevent that from happening? I mean, I'm out of the game, no matter what: I don't like playing in it. Therefore, I should not be playing it.

Now, I find myself in this situation, and with my usual little to no faith in other people. So, the question is this How do I leave the game, as a player, without starting a screaming/whining match from a poor GM with serious maturity issues?

Help...

*Insert 'Theme from the Shower Scene in Psycho' here*

-1:34 PM

Okay, just had this one...

*phone rings*

Me: *click* "Afternoon, (Name of company), this is Kyle."

Caller: "Hello, this is Fred Phelps."

I doubt it was THAT Fred Phelps, but I have had nightmares that started JUST like that...

But, if it is that one, he had a declined credit card.

I guess soul-less hate-mongering must get expensive. I wonder how some of the older GarouMUSH players handled the costs. ;)

Grr. People just piss me off.
