Yeah, that's horrible. If it's volunteer work you know about beforehand, then you get the feel-good feeling. Or, if you're a little more callous/cynical, you can use that to pressure them into giving you a letter of recommendation. And sometimes those things can land you an instant job.

Spoiler: I think I already mentioned Geomancer related awesomeness (click to show/hide)

Shadow Flare ftw!

[breadbocks]

Yeah, Geomancers are crazyinsaneuberpowerful.

But only in the right area.

As you can see, the minotaur is the bastard child of   Minos' queen and a bull. And that's why we don't allow the women near   our goats: We'd be swamped by satyrs.

 
  How do we get cheese from male goats?
 

  We don't, we get cream cheese 
 

Ell oh ell. Literally.

The weather is absolutely beautiful here, which is nice enough on its own.  Not humid, not dry, no bugs or pollen, sun shining but not cooking, and a light cool breeze.  I've opened some windows to left the air fresh up, and I don't even need a screen.

I noticed something glowing on a bookshelf that caught my eye.  On one shelf in my bedroom, I have: a Camel Cigarettes poker set, my old court papers, my Constitutional Law textbooks, the title to my boss car, a check I need to cash, my new revolver, and a bottle of Jim Beam whiskey (which was glowing).  For all my failings at piecing together an adult life, there's quite a bit real responsibility I have crammed into that shelf, and I have a handle on all of it.

Completing the character on the next shelf is the small but growing platoon of Lego men.  They don't get to march as much as they did in my youth, but they're no less formidable for it.

...Is 'glowing' a natural state for Jim Beam?

...Are you going to drink it anyway?

 The afternoon Texas sun as it shines unfiltered through an open window does wonderful things to glassware.

[Aqizzar]

Not just glassware, but the whiskey itself.  Such a pretty golden color.  Open windows are an unusual state of affairs in my domicile.

And no, I'm not going to drink it at the moment.  I'm working in a few hours, and I don't have any Coke to put in it.  Straight whiskey has its charms, but I'm not in the mood.

And I forgot how much my cat enjoys climbing in and out an open window.  It's all just so peaceful.

 You have a month tops before the hellbugs rise back up again though.

I love that sort of weather. It's perfect for imagining all the outdoor activities you're going to do on such a beautiful day and then staying indoors watching cartoons like a leper.

Every time I go outside and think, "I should spend some time outside and enjoy this fabulous weather!"  Then I spend like five minutes drinking a Dr. Pepper on the porch with my dogs and think, "Goddamn it's boring out here.  I wish I had a laptop or a TV or something."  If I had some proper wireless Internet, I'd like to surf the web in the sunshine.  Couldn't play games though, damn backlights.

I've got a park a few minutes walk from here, so I like to go there and read when it's nice.

Springfield has ceased to be a miserable wintry hole. We went from two feet of snow to endless fields of mud in a singular afternoon, and now it is a crisp 45 ish. I love this sort of weather, and now it is time for my work to begin. Over the next four months, I have several structures I need to build. I'm going to be doing two of them by myself entirely, using real materials from the Menards and/or Home Depot. Another will be solo again, but with self collected materials for the fun of it. A final two will be me and all my siblings, friends, and their siblings. They'll all be fun projects, but I'd imagine it will get grueling soon enough.
