Corner of Bourbon & Division

My team won at Trivial Pursuit last night. Normally I suck at Trivial Pursuit, and last night was no different, except that my partner was more edjumacated on the sort of details the game wants (as opposed to the useless details I accumulate in everyday life), and we won! It was a really close game, mind you. baronscartop and ai731 came in a close second, as did luvenditti and sandman7. toughlovemuse and chibipunkdemon (he lives on your drum kit) came in third, but only by one wedge and because they got really tough questions all night long.

*looks at t!*

Do you know Richard's LJ name? He told me and I forgot.

....

Gah. Someone just gave me a pile of work ten minutes before I'm supposed to leave. :P

This is especially for ladytabitha, but also for any gamers and/or knitters out there.

If you have any gamer friends at all: go look here now!

Just sayin'.

Well, the moving is certainly making the week less monotonous. This is a good thing. I'm not as sore as I thought I'd be today after moving all those files. I guess I use those muscles already a fair deal.

The CAM is "working from home" this week, which means my workload and that of L triples in consequence. She's a really nice person, but has no conception of what constitutes a reasonable demand, and what constitutes treating us like her personal assistants, which we aren't. Doesn't help that her instructions are always vague and sometimes contradictory. Add to this several long and complicated (not to mention nigh-incomprehensible) phone calls, and at least half our day is spent on this stuff.

I am not amused, and neither is L, who has to deal with all her emails. I'm so glad I don't have email here yet. You have no idea how much aggravation I'm being spared. L has already received several warnings about her mailbox being too full.

It feels like it should be Friday. On the plus side, the weather has cooled considerably, for which I am eternally grateful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it'll stay this way, or, even better, get cooler. I very rarely bitch about the weather in winter, but hoo boy am I not a fan of Montreal summers. Yes, it's very pretty, but at any temperature over 20 degrees Celsius I start to melt in very unattractive ways (sort of like the Wicked Witch of the West, except without the dying part).

Anyway, I'm back on board with Bluebook, where the Unholy Trinity +1 (with extra bonuses against twinks, munchkins, metagamers and whiners) is in full swing. There's going to be more dinosaurs, hijacking of teams, and a guest appearance by the Ancient and Nameless One himself. I am very excited.

Having dinner with the Parental Units tonight, who've invited an old friend, Xtine, whom I haven't seen in about a month, and before that hadn't seen in over a year. It'll be nice to keep in more regular contact with her after this, if either one of us manages to remember to send an email every now and again. I haven't been able to convert her to LJ yet, but maybe with a little more persuasion I can bring her over to the Dark Side.

I still have loads of work to get done. I have boardsheets to process, new files to make, and I have to label all the new filing cabinets. Then I'll probably try to get a head start on moving stuff from my current desk to my nice new shiny permanent desk. I even have a proper BNC nameplate, even though I'm technically not an employee of the Bank. I feel all official now. ;) I only wish I had the paycheque, the vacation time and the benefits to match the nameplate.

Right. Back to work.
