So, I have been playing with wordpress...

-We didn't build this place entirely on content and hard work. 

Also bribery and coercion. Fun and easy.

No money, but I don't take no for an answer very easily, no joke. 

Many of you may have noticed.

-You can't give up when it would be polite to do so in this line of work.  You have to be shameless when you recruit/promote.  Have to.

These are the kind of time management issues I am having lately. Mind if I rant? No, I am not mad. These are good problems to have compared to where I was 2 years ago.

I bring my laptop with me to work yesterday. I tell myself I am finally going to get things done on projects for my very short hour break. 3 PM (my lunch) rolls around and I spend the lunch instead talking to the boss on fundraising ethics (we raise money for various organizations - I quit a very harsh plant job last year) , talking to one of the other "sharks", etc.

I think to myself, no problem. Tonight. I receive a text. "Mrs." Green tells me we are going to some poly/ pride thing at FQ daiquiris and she picks me up from work at 8 pm when I get off. My brain dripping from my ears from being in psychic combat trying to convince cheap rednecks in Alabama to give to a chlidren's charity, I lay half exhausted in the passenger seat. A few white Russian daiquiris seem to erase the edge on the day, freezing the brain juice leaking out. I do my social butterfly thing, etc. We leave the bar as some of our mutual acquaintances start thinning out, leaving only the single or  hardcore and head home.

My daughter and her boyfriend are out the Green Temple. Of course, I need to talk with the daughter about Temple business and torture the BF. Mrs. Green turns in, hinting my attention is necessary in the High Priest Chambers upstairs. We pass out at 2 or 3.

We wake up at 10 AM. Maybe work done? No. The Temple food stores are low. The Holy Coffee is near empty. Milk is low and food stuff is needed. Also a chair. We picked up and are refurbishing a desk we found tossed out from an eviction outside some apartments Mrs Green and I swept in and carted by hand down the street a week ago. But, we needed a chair. FINALLY, an office to do my drunken agendas free of being disturbed by the acolytes away from the common area. BUT... then Mrs Green and my neighbors remind me we have a wedding to go to today. So, I am now typing as I go over in the head where my ballroom dance stuff is, since it has been a few months. Going over in my head rhumba and waltz so I keep my Temple cred. AND.... I have just been informed 2 more people may show up to the DnD game tomorrow. My weekend is shot.

But, the projects are important. I have come up with graph paper that I have blocked off time. From here on out, people need to schedule stuff with me. Hopefully that will work That, and doing this away from the common area.

You're right.  It's a problem, but the kind you want to have to deal with.  Beats poop out of no life, no Temple, no Mrs. Highpriestess of Greenity.

This could be turned into a worthy blog post, y'know, with more about the gaming tomorrow (or not).  Absolutely better than nothing while you're trying to build audience.

Article up.

I was in a spot where I wanted to stay in a certain length and changed my mind on something after reading a forum post by someone else. Decided to divide thoughts into three related articles and completely redid the part that is posted before posting.

Also, really see the point of tags and pages. There are some things that are rants, but I definitely think I have a lot of useful tips I can share and how to's for campaign content. I may want to divide that.

[Buster's Uncle]

Well, a lot of blogs just have everything sequential, but an Al Gore tag makes it easy to find all the posts with Al Gore tags...

[Buster's Uncle]

So definitely a good idea to come up with some categories and accompanying tags you use like when you do an Al Gore article, as opposed to the #GetALife for WOW war stories.

[Green1]

Indeed. I will play with the pages and tags at some point in the future. I just wanted to get in the habit of putting up. But, I must now pay attention to guests.

...and an annoying printer issue.
...and a LSU/ MSU game that has everyone but me fascinated.
...and Red Wine.
...and embarrass my daughter in front of her bf.
...and my gf's kid and her bf are coming tomorrow.

/sigh.

[Buster's Uncle]

The embarrassing is in you Dad job description.  Do your duty.

[Buster's Uncle]

Sorry for taking this long to get to reading the new article, Green, but Hey!  This one is Really Good!  Seriously; the pt.1 in the title is good string-along stuff provided you get part two up within a week, the writing is very evocative of mood/tone -a strength of yours- and I found it very well-organized.

It's not War and Peace or anything, but War and Peace is rambly and a bit too long to make a good blog post.  You got in, got out, nobody (but a Kender) got hurt, said what you wanted to and left the audience wanting more.  Boom boom boom.  Short and sweet, half like a Kender.

Full marks, sir.



(I just spammed your blog, BTW - I assume you want comments.  SOMEbody had to go first.   People, let's those of us checking it out try to throw our favorite supahvillian Green some comments.)

[Buster's Uncle]

Hello?  Is this thing on?

Weird day, when a Monday is so much slower than a Sunday, forum-wide...

[Green1]

It's the first Monday after a holiday weekend last week. A lot needed more time to unwind.

But, Drizz't (or his stunt double clones) are next up in a four parter on bad player concepts!

[Buster's Uncle]

Eh, screw that blog; the drunk who runs it doesn't check by and approve comments.  How big's the stick up HIS butt?

[Green1]

Man, I was not aware I had to approve comments lol!

I feel newbish!

[Buster's Uncle]

Ah, a mistake's a mistake.

Not like that frugaldm butthole, who does it on purpose...
