2012.11.11 01:00 - RL is a damn nuisance

Wol Euler was the late-arriving guardian for this session.

Agatha Macbeth: No Wol, nobody here :(
Agatha Macbeth: Might as well go

Agatha Macbeth: Yay ♥
Wol Euler: hello darling
Agatha Macbeth: I was just going
Wol Euler: sorry I'm late
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: Didn't know if you were doing the sessions or not
Wol Euler: oh yes, just had some difficulty with the bed
Wol Euler: it wouldn't let go
Agatha Macbeth: It teleported?
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: Dreaming?
Wol Euler: actually yes, but nothing that I could report
Agatha Macbeth: ooh
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds naughty ;-)
Wol Euler grins broadly.
Agatha Macbeth: I'm so glad I hung around
Wol Euler: so, how's the new job?
Agatha Macbeth: Not starting til this afternoon
Agatha Macbeth: How's the retreat?
Wol Euler: good
Wol Euler: odd
Agatha Macbeth sighs
Agatha Macbeth: Odd?
Wol Euler: not like a RL one, obviously
Agatha Macbeth nods
Wol Euler: there's a reason why retreats are held on neutral ground, in nearly empty rooms
Wol Euler: it is so much harder to be in the spirit when you are at home, surrounded by your own toys and junk and habits
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Wol Euler: and I'm going to have to work today, and I don't know how that will fit in.
Agatha Macbeth: OMG
Wol Euler: the first session is at 3pm my time, in the middle of the working day
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Wol Euler: I hope that I can get some stuff done before then, because I'd really hate to miss it, and I don't particularly want to go back to the office at 5pm either
Agatha Macbeth: RL is a damn nuisance
Wol Euler: indeed
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe these things are better planned for the summer, not right before Xmas
Wol Euler: perhaps, but they are better planned for before Xmas than not at all ::)
Agatha Macbeth: This is true
Wol Euler: there will be more, I hope
Wol Euler: and more RL retreats too
Agatha Macbeth: Hopefully
Agatha Macbeth: So much for the 'no internet on sunday' then
Wol Euler: well, work isn't internetty
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler: not at this stage anyway
Wol Euler: at this point in the procedure it's a kind of ballet
Wol Euler: I give them computer-generated paper, and they give me back coloured-pencil sketches
Wol Euler: which I turn in to more computer-generated paper, which they convert into other coloured-pencil sketches
Wol Euler: and so on
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds cute :)
Wol Euler: iterative processes have their advantages :)
Wol Euler: but they do take time
Agatha Macbeth: Do you write 'I made this' and stick em on the wall?
Wol Euler: sometimes :)
Agatha Macbeth: Yay
Wol Euler: though the sketches are seldom *that* pretty
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Wol Euler: they tend to be working documents, rough and dirty and full of scribbles
Agatha Macbeth: I can imagine
Wol Euler: hehehhe
Agatha Macbeth: Haven't seen QT for a long time
Wol Euler: he's been to a few 1pm sessions, oddly enough
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, right

--BELL--

Wol Euler: back in a sec, need to wash my face
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Agatha Macbeth: Will get tea
Agatha Macbeth: Back
Wol Euler: back
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Wol Euler: and clean
Wol Euler: and with cereal
Agatha Macbeth: Clean catelope
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: A cereal killer eh
Wol Euler: and I eat the remains.
Agatha Macbeth: No evidence
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: environmentally friendly
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds good all round
Wol Euler: I can't see any downside.
Agatha Macbeth: Were you at Frac last night?
Wol Euler: no, retreating
Agatha Macbeth: Right, wondered
Wol Euler: to be pedantic I did go after the retrreat, but the music was done
Wol Euler: just Noctis, elaine, keris and thij
Wol Euler: chatted for a while
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Agatha Macbeth: Hope you didn't sit on Thij
Wol Euler: heheh
Agatha Macbeth: I always have to avoid standing on hir
Wol Euler: they were all on the big purple gummibear
Wol Euler: so it was easy to avoid
Agatha Macbeth: Oh my
Agatha Macbeth: Interesting notion in décor
Wol Euler: and dis-comfort :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Wol Euler: (I'm doing kitchen stuff as we speak, getting the rest of breakfast ready.)
Agatha Macbeth: Crunch crunch
Agatha Macbeth: You should move the kitchen in there with you
Wol Euler: heheh

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: I just noticed U will be 2000 days old soon :p
Wol Euler: hehehe
Wol Euler: wow, yeah
Agatha Macbeth: Long time
Wol Euler: well, in about seven months :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Agatha Macbeth: 46 days I make it
Wol Euler: ?????
Agatha Macbeth: 1954
Wol Euler: it tells me 1791
Wol Euler: whose profile are you viewing?
Agatha Macbeth looks again
Agatha Macbeth: The original
Wol Euler: original what
Agatha Macbeth: U
Wol Euler: oh him
Wol Euler: okay, yes, gotcha
Wol Euler: oh, I see, I read U as "you"
Wol Euler: so used to people being so lazy
Agatha Macbeth sighs
Wol Euler: I'm sorry :(
Agatha Macbeth: Wouldn't be capitalised then :p
Wol Euler: true, very true. I missed that.
Agatha Macbeth: Unless i was speaking Dutch
Wol Euler: I blame it on the lack of a substantial breakfast
Wol Euler: or discussing Burmese diplomats
Agatha Macbeth: You haven't ate it yet?
Wol Euler: only the cereal part
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, no yog yet
Wol Euler: actually no weisswurste
Agatha Macbeth: For breakfast?
Wol Euler: I'm stocking up because I'll have to work through the lunchbreak-time
Wol Euler: only for breakfast!
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Wol Euler: they are never eaten after 11am
Agatha Macbeth: I see
Agatha Macbeth: No bacon and eggs then?
Wol Euler: not today, not in a while actually
Wol Euler: dunno why not
Agatha Macbeth: Cholesterol?
Wol Euler: nah, I don't worry about that
Agatha Macbeth: Good
Wol Euler: it's always normal to low whenever checked
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Wol Euler: anyway, my dear, I'm sorry to run away from you after you waited for me
Wol Euler: but I have to get to work, so that I can hope to be finished in time for the retreat
Agatha Macbeth: Was good to see you anyway :)
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: good luck with the new job!
Agatha Macbeth: Thanks
Agatha Macbeth: Retreat well
Agatha Macbeth: ♥
Wol Euler: thanks
Wol Euler: ♥
