I’m losing track. Time’s sliding all over the place. This won’t be as concise as usual. Hence it may be more entertaining. Let me know.

The morning was mostly spent wrangling €400-odd of t-shirt ordering, which involved having to tell my bank that no, my credit card had not been stolen and that yes, I did need it ‘unblocked’ so I could keep ordering blocks of t-shirts. The provider we use, while generally very good, has installed a hidden “If you order above this amount, you have to pay by bloody bank transfer” feature which would have been nice to know about before I piled my shopping cart high with custom t-shirts and pushed it towards the virtual checkout.

There was a lot of coffee drunk today, but mostly by accident. Twice I was just handed coffee and expected to drink it. Hence I sort of sped through things like I feel like I’m speeding through this, and now feel like I’ve crashed into a fatigue wall.

What else.

Oh yes! Our iMacs turned up, which will warrant a separate post at some point no doubt. It doesn’t warrant a full glowing report right now because we only got to play with them for about 15 minutes, and when I say ‘play’ I mean ‘take them out of the box and turn them on so we can do the setup sequence’. Then we had to give them to the IT boys so they could install special ‘fun-leeching’ software on them, or something.

This mean I spent the rest of the day telepathically beaming the single command ‘Install your stupid software on my iMac already’ at IT whenever I walked past. Sigh.

Lunch in a new Mexican place not far from work, which is sort of half-way between a takeout place and a restaurant. It’s also been empty – as in, just the guy behind the counter – the two times I’ve been in so far. This worries me as I love Mexican and this one is like three minutes from my house, so I really want it to stay open. It’s called Las Taquitos. Or Los Taquitos. Anyway it’s good.

Sketchbook officially expanded by four more pages today. And might go higher. We got one new sketch in (Lord Recluse – our first of him!) and got hi-res versions of others we’d been waiting for. It’s coming together nicely.

Had a meeting after lunch with everyone working at the Omega Sektor MiniCon, and boy, did that reinforce how much we still have to do, so no point in dwelling on that.

Some other stuff happened but it wasn’t as fun as singing my lungs out on Rock Band after work. God, I hope the practice pays off.
