It's another dreary day in the neighborhood. From Saturday through Thursday, we're going to have rain, and I am tired of it. I will deal, but I really hate working in my little semi dark room with only a little desk lamp to light my day.
It'll be a moderately busy day as I've got a couple of meetings, and my usual markets to do. Today's the day that my counterpart from Staten Island and I do our best to convince our manager that our idea is worth moving forward with. If we can get him on our side we'll be moving our way up the ladder until we get to someone who can authorize the change.
Also, the Working Reports TL is back from vacation, so we need to grab a minute of his time and talk about the processes that aren't working. This could be a clusterfuck, because the WR team are stubborn and can be volatile when it comes to changing process. When my manager pointed out a process that I'd mentioned to them in October that they ignored, one actually got pissy with him. Unfortunately, she's also the one who does these most frequently, so this could be a bit much.
My sister went over to talk to dad last night, and may have gotten it mostly sorted. We'll see. I have to go see him tonight, so we'll see how that goes. I don't care that according to her, most of the issue stemmed from his anxiety. I spend most of my life anxious, and I manage to not be a dick to other people or send abusive texts to my family members. I'm still very angry with him, and that is going to make tonight's visit very difficult.
We are bringing him home on the 14th, because Medicare won't pay past that time. Will he be in decent shape? Your guess is as good as mine! We have a meeting on Friday to watch his progress. Whoo. I am not looking forward to this. I don't think he's ready, and I think one or more of us is going to end up injured trying to move him. Or, alternately, he's going to stay in bed until he dies.
Tonight we have our Blades in the Dark game, which should be fun. It's the second half of our last game, where the thieves are attempting to heist an artifact out of a fancy dress party held by an extremely powerful vampire. As![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
coyotegestalt immediately figured out, I modeled said vampire after Lord Akeldama from Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series. He wants to be their mentor, so they don't really want to piss him off, but do they want to risk the artifact being moved to it's new owners, one of the big crime families. The other big crime family (who is coincidentally one of the player's family) has hired them to steal it. The artifact could change the balance of power in the city forever, so do they want anyone to have it? We'll see what my players decide!
Tomorrow, I shall get myself together and go into the office. Double whoo.
But then, it shall be the weekend and we will have more games. Friday night, we have an entirely homebrewed Call of Cthulhu game. I've been wanting to use this plotline for a while, but was just looking for a system to do it in, and CoC seems like a good option. We have a quiet day on Saturday, and then on Sunday, we have the Storm Lord's Thunder.
Okay, time for me to get myself together for work. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!
