nishatalithaThe last few days have been rather learning intensive and busy for me. I started at Baldwins on Monday, and refused to sacrifice my Monday and Tuesday games so that I could collapse. The games were fun.
Lace & Steel feels like it's finally coming to an end - our GM reckoned maybe a month or so more of playing time was left. We even covered ten days in our last session! We've wrapped up one plot arc, Isthian is getting married in two days, Sebasatian proposed and was accepted by Ines, we have an army marching on us, Esmerelda is in hiding after assassinating the ruler of the city we currently live in, so on and so forth. It's been good playing with the same people for so long, but I become more and more aware that nine months is a long time, and that I've never played in a campagin that is as long as this one, nor one as intense as it. Isthian was the first real fuck-with-me character I've played. I asked, she was, and it's been good.
Earthdawn is heating up. We've spent three or four sessions in Cathay (not in the Earthdawn manuals, so based off L5R), training and learning things about our core pattern items and ourselves. We're now fourth circle, so we can thread to our weapons and talents and things, which is nifty. Maree is becomming more and more convinced that she wants to be a Questor of the Riftweaver one day; I think she just wants something worth serving.
I am adjusting to my ergonomic keyboard at work. It's still querty, so everything is more or less where I feel they should be - except the B, which I now have to hit with my other hand. I planned this witty and entertaining account, but I'm going to go to bed soon, since I'm pretty tired. I like my team so far, and they're being careful not to overload me with too much information - I've only woken up dreaming of filing once.
They've actually had to hunt for work for me to do, since some of the people we work for have been sick, and haven't been generating work. So I've been learning some of the less commonly used tasks, and all sorts of things. Reviews are just now, and I have to put into place things that I want to learn by six months and a year, so I'll ask my Team Leader what sort of training I might need for all this.
Generally I feel confident that I'm doing okay. And that's a good thing.
I am so glad that I live in town, and don't actually have commuter issues. Compared to what some people are going through, waiting twenty minutes for the bus, and then taking another thirty-five to get home tonight really isn't that bad. I do wonder how many people will make it in tomorrow, though.
