anonymousblueberrythat right now, I should be grating cheese to put on top of my tuna pasta bake, so I can eat in time for my driving lesson. However, I am knackered. So I will do it in a minute. I just slept for most of the afternoon, which is a very not me kind of thing to do, as I don't like day time naps. I sat down after lunch to read, read a hundred pages or so and then zonked out. Next thing I know it's nearly 4 and next doors kids are shouting outside the window.
Last nights game was pretty hilarious. There were a lot of natural 1s rolled in the first combat, which led to the monk punching the cleric in the face, the cleric hitting the ranger in the balls and some other combination of party hitting party that I can't remember right now. I think the ranger hit the necromancer, that could have been later. And then when the ranger ended up mind controlled, he stabbed the necromancer (or the druid, they were rolling around on the floor after the druid tripped up) and ended up being thrown down a very deep shaft by the monk. We thought he'd get better, ignoring the idea that he might drop the thing that allowed him to get better. We found his pate-like remains at the end of the game (scrolls of Raise Dead FTW!).
Because we're in the middle of a Ravenloft module implanted in the a homebrew setting, the descriptive passages are kind of hilarious, and have a tendency to break up the flow of things. The theme for the place is already the Phantom of the Opera theme, and last night saw such gems as "darkness that shames the night" and a description of a tower that may or may not have been pornagraphic (by the time we were finished laughing, it defenitely was).
But anyway, it was a vaguely productive game and we might finally be on the right track to getting out of the bloody place (and back to the war that was at a deadlock when we left).
While we were waiting around for the rest of the gaming group to show up last night, it was bought to my attention that I'm going to have three wannabe Knights of the Cross (a la Dresden Files) knocking around when I run Unknown Armies. Maybe. Telling them that it wouldn't bloody fit was met with mock sulking and a refusal of ice cream.
And this morning I witnessed yet another act of bitchdom that makes me remember why I will always try to be nice to the people behind the counter at the coffee shop, even when it's early and I haven't had any tea yet. The whole till system was down, so one of the girls was having write down everything that was bought, and how much it cost by hand, and the woman in front of me was getting really shitty that they wouldn't give her her usual discount because they had no till to register it. The urge to slap her over priviliged ass was strong. It really wasn't their fault, and if she was that desperate for her 30p discount then she could have gone to the Pumpkin store rather than Costa, since they had working tills and shit.
Right, cheese grating. And eating. And then driving lesson (oh joy).

Date: 2010-09-09 09:37 pm (UTC)I just started retail, for the last 4 years I've been doing telecommunications customer service and technical support over the phone, so this is something different. I'm hoping it works out well, especially with being unionized and everything.
