Now for a more proper post

The weeks seem to fly by now. I'm not sure if its due to the fact that I actually enjoy my new job more than the previous or if there's more things to do on and off. Last night I got about 6 hours of sleep but I felt completely refreshed so really can't complain. Equally sleep didn't hit me after lunch so that was a huge plus. Though before I plow on through my day let me reflect back to yesterdays post.

For starters the walking yesterday definitely payed off due to the information above and not only that allowed me to listen to more Lord of the Rings audiobook. I'm going to make it a habit now to walk at least 30 minutes a day which I may evolve into running but will see. Speaking of which I still need to go walking today. As for battle of westnoth, for any person or enthusiast of turn based strategy games I would highly recommend it. The round I played yesterday wasn't shabby but definitely had some balance issues.

It was myself along with two other friends who were playing a 3 player map. I choose to play Elves, another Dwarves and the last Orcs (which I thought the Orc player would go undead). The match lasted for a good bit and I greatly improved sense my last session though there was definitely room for improvement. One factor that's really lame (and with every 3 person game) is that balance becomes a huge issue in the fact that usually two people will gang up on one person for one reason or another. That or the reverse in which two people conflict and the person seems to prosper as a result. Lose lose to be honest. None the less with 1v1 or more people I can definitely see it being a whole lot of fun. I plan to do a solid review of this game in the future as it needs the justice done for it.

As for the new pizza place I'm kind of in the air with it at the moment. The pizza is a bit price and some of the left over pizza I saw there was greatly unattractive. Though I may give it the benefit of the doubt and go for it anyways. The other problem I have with it is location in which I have to travel through 2 busy shopping centers to get to it which is a bit of a downer. I'll probably sleep on it before ordering. Lastly the sewing/crocheting group. I haven't called yet but plan to in the near future.

Alright let me get on about....whatever I was going to talk about after this little rant. Oh right my day.

Overall not to bad work is of course keeping me busy the way I like it most. That and found out a lot of neat benefits of CarMax after the one year mark so that's another incentive to continue the good deeds. Not saying I wouldn't but alternative options still cross my mind at times. Equally got double praised today at work for providing another recommendation and asking a key questions. The recommendation I provided (inadvertently) was printing off my timesheets, scanning them and sending them to my team lead. He said usually people don't do that but thought it was an interesting idea. So I'll be his guina pig for that project which should be for a bit. The other point to note was I asked a simply question like 'how am I doing thus far'. He said I was doing 'ok/fine' which I guess was a note of relief as I thought I was...as usually...under rating myself and assuming I was doing mediocore / ok. Those are the main highlights of work and now back home to rant about other stuff!

This evening has gone fairly well too. Just finished dinner and gonna blog for a bit before heading upstairs to read and sleep. I might play some games for a bit before I head off to bed but haven't decided as of yet...as to if I plan to play games along with what title. Fairly open to ideas so will see.

For the weekend I've already made up my mine. Going to play Recttear for countless hours at a time until my mind breaks or I get bored...seeing how its Animal Crossing + Diablo I think I'll be fine. Reading will occur as well though no predefined time. That along with a caffine buzz good times shall be had. Anywho off for a bit later all!.
