This is without a doubt the shittiest day at work I have had in a long time. I'm sore and tired from my work out this morning, I get a lot of very random issues (keyboards not working, computers misrecognizing printers through usb connections, sites trying to find information about phone lines and services, phantom antivirus scans). On a good day this would be trying, today I just want to tell every one to sod off and let me alone. Thank God I have a rest day tomorrow.
I helped organize a new independent Grand Tournament that took place in Philadelphia this past weekend. Myself and seven other guys came up with the rules format, judged army lists, and made the missions / scenarios for the players. I basically came up with the missions, and the sportsmanship guidelines, and the others all helped refine them. The feedback on the tournament was overwhelmingly positive, people especially liked the scenarios that I came up with. I'm very glad to be part of such a successful event, next year I may actually attend as well.

Friday night started with me leaving my keys at work, and not discovering this until I was at Davis Sq (almost all the way home). Back to work, back home again, and over to Photiq's for Batman movies. There was a quality crowd of people attending, and I was inspired to host my own movie night soon: a Paul Verhoven double feature of RoboCop and Starship Troopers. I thought about adding Showgirls to the list, but my roommate threatened to kill me. No joke! Total Recall may be another alternative.

I got a ninja parking spot for Xmortis, then had to wait at the door because the club was filled to capacity. Twenty minutes later I made it in, played some pool, and ran into a bunch of friends from Spin Jam. We all drove back to my place for an after party, and I learned a new appreciation for the Power of Science! Sometime around five thirty, we crashed.

Saturday I woke up late, did my Crossfit training, then played a few Warhammer games at a friend's. I was due to go to a housecooling party, but received a surprise text for a birthday dinner and drinks night in Davis. Good times were had yet again, including amusing conversations about $5,000 dresses, ridiculous encounters on the T, and the correct way to say "Sookie".

Sunday: Clean up, work out, be pirates (DND game, we hijacked another ship!), play Mahjong, SLEEP.

The weekend more than made up for the poopstain that is today. Collecting hugs from some spinners should help immeasurably too.
