Spare Fun And Games

Well...
It's a deep subject.

Okay, seriously though.
In my spare time these last few months, I have gotten back into playing good old adventure/hack-n-slash video games. First, i played the all-time bestest game ever made for the pc, Baldur's Gate. Then, when i had completed that game, I "portaged" (think 'early-Canadian fur traders carrying canoes between rivers' - now do you get my "drift"?) my main character into it's sequel, Baldur's Gate II - Shadows Of Amn. A more in-depth game, and one I have only finished once before, so it is taking me a long time to complete. Plus, i usually only play it on my weekends. But it is a hoot. I thoroughly advise the Baldur's Gate series of games for any and all PC-platform gamers out there. There is none better, and never will be.

Other than that, I finally had two days in a row with practically no tooth pain, which has been lovely. I am in desperate need of having two very rotten wisdom teeth pulled out of my head. I will be making the appointment to do that on Tuesday - hopefully, they will get to it before the end of the month. (Yowsers! Nasty teeth, those are!) As well, I have been very busy getting cleanings done (three so far, another one scheduled for November), and fillings too (7 down, 5 to go). So my dental office loves me, of course. I'm sure I am paying for a new car, or vacation, for somebody in that office.
Oh well.

As well, I think i amy have forgotten to mention that I recently got a 'promotion' at work, to Lead Hand. Basically speaking, I am lead operator and semi-supervisor during two of my five weekly shifts, which carries more responsibility and a very slight pay increase. I am not so sure that I get respected or noticed or praised for a good job any more than usual (not at all) at work, but at least i have been promoted in theory and in name. If nothing else, since it is seniority-based, at least it proves that I have staying power at my place of employment. And it puts me one step closer to getting off of the graveyard shift, and to some more normal working hours. Close, but not there quite yet...Keep me in your prayers...

Ciao for now!
