Busy

[orikes]

Things are going to be pretty busy for me this month.

It's crunch time at work, so I'm actually working a little bit of overtime in addition to just having plain lots to do there. Our fiscal year ends on July 31st, but one of our major customers ends their fiscal year on June 30th, so we have to have everything we're sending to them done by June 20th. It's a pain in the ass, but considering who they are, you just generally smile and nod.

I'm not one who enjoys overtime. I am a lazy individual, who likes doing what I LIKE doing fairly often. Having to work two jobs, or work significant overtime cuts into the time of doing what I like to do. This isn't really too bad, becasue it's however much I need/want to do to make sure the work gets done. If they had gone to mandatory overtime, that would suck. Also, it'll only last for a few more weeks.

Of course, in addition to that, it's going to be a very busy month socially.

This weekend is the release of D&D 4.0, so I'll be going out with friends to pick that up on Friday, as well as going to dinner with them. On Saturday, a friend is running demos at one of the local game stores as part of Game Day something or another. I wanted to go hit that. At 6pm, I'll be meeting some friends for dinner, and then at 8pm I get to go see the touring production of 'Wicked'. YAY! I am VERY much looking forward to this.

Next weekend is Father's Day and my dad will actually be in town. I'm hoping he comes in on Saturday, but I'm not sure yet. Monday the 16th, one of my cousins is getting married. I don't get why they couldn't have waited a little longer to get the place they wanted on an actual weekend day. It's not like they NEED to rush anything. She's already had two kids by the guy. Maybe she's afraid he or her parents will change their mind. Either way, the only day she could get the place for the wedding and reception was on a Monday.

The following Saturday is going to be tough. We're having the grave-side service for my mom. This was my uncle's idea, but somehow it's fallen on me to organize more than I wanted. I'm sure it'll all be fine, but still. I'm feeling very odd about the whole thing.

Then, on Wednesday the 25th, I leave for Origins Game Fair. Five straight days of gaming related geekery! Yay! I love big game conventions. This year I'll be going to both Origins and GenCon, but next year I'm going to have to cut down to just one of them.

So, in terms of real life, this month is going to be a busy one. In terms of Sim Stuff, I'm working on stuff, but I don't know how quickly I'll get anything out.

What a month--work, fun stuff, social obligations, family obligations--I can see where you'd feel swamped. We'll still be here waiting for the next installment of Pseudo and the BC, though of course I bet it isn't just me who is *dying* to know what happened next!

I've had a couple of comments on the Sims2 page asking me when the next updates are going to be out. I definitely want to try and get BC2 and Pseudo 4.7 out by the end of the month, though. I'm just not sure I'll be able to swing it. :}

Eh, when you're ready, you're ready. I'm sure it's not because you don't *want* to put it out there. I've been dying to write the next bits of SC for a long time now, but I'm not going to rush through it. In fact, if I decide something like "huh, I think I'll send this little family on vacation," or "let's send those guys out on another date," I'm going to do it even if it tacks on a little extra time. :)

Plus I'm looking down the barrel of the end of the quarter, so I *really* know how it is.

Argh, I wish I were going to the Harry Potter convention now! I'm saving my pennies so I can go to Immeritus in 2010--that will be at the new theme park. Whoo.
