Working on the weekends...

silveradept...sucks. To a significant degree. Oh, well, such is how things are. Six hour shift and I got through it, although I did have to buy some peanut M+Ms at the break to quell the hunger pangs.
Lots to do this week, too, although the intramural season finishes up this week. So it's semis tomorrow (and possibly a finals or two) for me. Good weather will hopefully follow us to our destination.
Also, I seem to have picked up another reader, likely through the benevolent journal of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
martizac, so would jokermage kindly stand up and introduce himself and the six degrees of separation that brought him here?
Net neutrality takes a blow, as the house passes the COPE bill after explicitly rejecting an amendment designed to protect net neutrality. The Senate will hopefully have a better ear to what their constituents want.
Repeat after me: I will not take laptops with classified information outside the workplace. I will not have that laptop stolen and expose sensitive data to thieves. And for $DEITY's sake, I will read and follow the manual on security procedures! This is the kind of damage that one person's stupidity can do. I hope it's recovered and that it hasn't been compromised yet.
Been a bit blah since I got back, mostly because I was reminded that I don't necessarily have a standby in town that I can just go hang out with, talk, game, whatever, get my social interaction with someone who I know can stay with me and enjoy the time together. Work takes a large amount of time, and that's good, but for the most part, I'm working with people 1.25 to 1.5 times my age. There's not enough people around in town to have regular outings of some sort (or rather, I don't hear about them), and so I'm just a little blue for not having a social group. Kind of funny. For as much as I'll wallflower in a group, I still want to have the group and have fun with the group. I'm an introverted extrovert or an extroverted introvert or something. No matter, no worry, no going insane. No, really. Could just be the full moon, too, and some part of my birth sign asserting itself with a vengeance. (Although, if that were true, that would be me more likely to shell up rather than want to go out.)
Had a bit of a discussion tonight withannaonthemoon as to which of the Hogwarts Houses I would get Sorted into. She thinks that I'd probably make it into Godric's house, where I'm fairly certain I'd be in Rowena's by virtue of not really being brave enough for Godric's house, but still being relatively bright. Ah, well, speculation. Although, the books have lionized Godric's house due to the presence of many main characters in it, so in the perspective, the Gryffindors are the heroes, Salazar's house villainous, and the other two houses competitors, but not really worth mentioning much except where they cross the paths of the other houses. Too bad that part of the world is being left behind (of course, some parts must to actually tell a story) and that it's likely to be speculation that makes up the contents of the other houses. Ah, well.
