Internets.
Jul. 6th, 2006 09:28 amI have now had internets in the flat for quite some time, but still have no internets on my actual computer.
Also, Maelstrom downtime sucks. I have 25 days of time (out of 90) that is now going to be randomly assigned because of this. (When teaching people, you put in the action 'I teach you' and they accept. You can't do things in non-chronological order. So when you have a teaching offer accepted, then the person with the offer before that says 'despite not telling you I had other things I was doing this downtime, I have other things to do and can't accept the offer there', then you end up with a gap in your schedule.
I managed to teach two out of the three people I meant to teach stuff, an extra person who suddenly wanted stuff, and faff around with various other non-timed actions, though, and everyone appears to be happy with me, and I was expecting to spend the whole season teaching and wouldn't have had those 25 days if it had all come off okay, so it's not that awful. Have irritated PD by suggesting a fix (actually they replied with "good feedback, thanks, that's a good idea actually, we'll poke at it over winter and see if we can do it").
I am meant to be unpacking boxes. I hate unpacking boxes. There are always more boxes. It's depressing. One wall of our flat is a window, with a big enough window to climb out of in the middle of the arrangement. It gives me that lemming feeling that standing on edges generally does.
There is also all manner of wedding faff that I need to do, but I don't even know what half of it *is* because the List I made back at the dawn of time is currently only on a PC in Psion format, my Psion is busted (broken screen cable) and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tienelle is too busy to faff with his Psion and make it work. And it's a Jotter file which fails to open with the free tools I can find, and I can't find my PsiWin disk. And I was meant to phone the Chaplain back about how we're doing on the preparation side at the start of this week, but I can't bring myself to do so because we have made No Progress Whatsoever since he last called.
There was a 3ygb, which was a perfectly adequate LARP event to monster (with some excellent moments - triiiangles[1]) until I read the set of NPC briefs that we were meant to have had and got disappointed with what actually happened. (Not sending out the NPCs was probably the right decision as they were the kind of briefs we really could have done with having a week in advance rather than thrust into our hands as we went out to meet the PCs, and they weren't *written* a week in advance, but it was still disappointing given that the NPCs as written seemed to be promoting exactly the kind of LARP I really like.)
