Warning - this is a random, nonsensical series of thoughts. I'm tired..but psyched
It's been a *really* long month or two for me. No weekends or weeknights free, literally, just all work, sometimes without sleep. Doing 40 hours straight in *two* days, then working another 5 days still..sucks.
My 'sanity breaks' here and there haven't been too many lately. We had 'forced vacation' pushed on us a month back..on a Saturday morning of 'day 1 of vacation,' decided screw it, I'm going somewhere, so called a friend in WV, and another in NY, and an hour later, had the motorcycle packed up and headed north. Of course, I got *snowed in* in WV, but hey, you don't ride to make time, ya have to enjoy the ride along the way.
It was great, but at a *really* bad time, so paying for it ever since. My 'breaks' have been 15 mins here and there of browsing ECF or occasional chats with friends, and really, mowing the *yard* has been a break by comparison, and a few review videos.
So, finally put a critical work mess to rest, scanned GG forum, and saw the contest thread. Literally, I thought - no way in hell. I have no time for much of anything, let alone *good timing* of late, and no one had posted yet. Cool, I have a good diversion, and have been nagging Imeo and Tim both to basically let me place a Transformer order (damnit, NOW! ). Perfect timing.
Somehow, I lucked out with the right answer, after looking all over, figuring it was a Q only 'the GG following would know, but damnit, I *wanted* one, and had a little time I could actually spend!
Found one as a 'let me get something that's an initial fit and keep looking, so posted it, leaving the screen up, then found 'this one's better,' so just posted it. I was pretty confused as to whether or not I should edit the first post or not - I *work* in technology, and have run forums and web businesses - user edits show the time of edit, but it can confuse someone, so just pasted my 'new guess in.' Of course,there were only 3 posts in the htread as I hit submit, then see after submit it's already three pages long, doh!
Tim/Imeo were nice enough to 'call it a tie,' so Cristine and I have Xformers coming. I have no idea right now, nor did I at the time, how much 120UKP is in, err, well, 'real money' (not so much lately), but..I have an xformer coming!
I'm kinda psyched
Ok, I now go back to my regular sleep deprived non-posting. Thank you for reading utterly random drivel. Sometimes it really doesn't take much to make your day better.. I'm still psyched!
"Is it done/here yet?"
