More work... Less play

I've become really too busy for play... Except my airsoft because i can throw money at the pro el. Gaming and game prep is very time consuming. Because it is an arcane way of enjoying myself I have to be the one to do everything.

So I've collected a ton of reading material. Other than the aspects of business that relates to my hobby, I've now hit business expertise that are very distant and a less related. Right now I am brushing up on the history Business Process Outsourcing. At work I'm learning more about IT, it's structure and processes as well a bit of HR. I'm taking a crash course in processes as well as negotiation. Also I'm learning to be able to phrase or frame all my actions in a report.

Everything has to have s report. That's the skill and mindset that was alien to our company but infused by our new COO. As a skeptic and a pragmatist, I fully see the value if this. Actually almost all my cognitive studies support this kind of cold rationale when making key decisions.
I do admit they are also cumbersome, where does one find the time to do a report. I was just working about 10-20 hours a day just last week. I probably pulled about more than 60 hours. The most work I have ever done in day at my job, if you ask me about how much prep I used to do for games plus my work load my answer would be at that number.

I would also note that I was also giving the baby a bath and helping out in the house cause we don't have a full-time maid or nanny.

I do feel being ore indifferent about RPGs. What got me really working hard was the morale and the need for me. Back then I was nothing, now I happen to be a important. Important not because I sign stuff as the son of the owners and member of the board, but Important in the way it is a crucial matter and they need me because they trust me, despite not having a clue what I'm doing.

I keep telling gaspar is that half of the battle is just showing up. Gaspar works with me now, he is roughly at where I was 3 years ago. I know he has a long way to go, but he'll get three eventually. Anyway I'm here to share my notes and give him info in gaming Analogies. It's hard work and we are learning. There is so much to write about and this blog is my little reporting and essay tool.

The plan is I read and I report what I read on this blog and apply it ASAP.

Anyway the baby needs coddling, gotta go.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
