Daily Bloggery 2009-04-09: Wee need tose steenkin' badgers o' heroism

Daily global update from the World of Me™

Health: SGL is on target and I'm feeling pretty good today. Dressing change is tomorrow.

Social.net: Serenity game is this weekend. It will be good to see Seanan, Richard, Matt, M&D and of course, The World's Cutest Four Year Old™ (Matt may be a no show due to the proximity of BayCon 2009).

Career: My monthly one to one with my manager was yesterday. Executive summary: "Thou are doing things right!" I asked about a possible reassignment to the Home Based Agent team so I can work from home, and he blessed my request. Now to talk to the manager of the HBA team to get the low down. A life without a commute would be very nice -- and could remove the main barrier from being able to relocate to be with Gwenny.

WoW: Ran heroic Violet Hold last night with Gwenny and BOYD. Scored myself some nice epic gloves out of there off the end boss -- Handgrips of the Savage Emissary. Got them enchanted very nicely with Asmo's help as well. With the badges of heroism scored off the three VH bosses, I got me a Totem of Splintering too. In other BOYD news: the guild's website is up and running. We managed to also get some PvP action in too; winning and losing once each in Wintergrasp. All of this translates to more epic-level (purple linked) loot for me that brings me one

Gwenny: Still going very well, still happy.
