Bad News
My cpu’s hard drive died. I backed up most of the stuff I had on it, but not enough. I’ve lost a lot of data. It’ll cost about 300 bucks for a restore, but I really don’t have much choice. C’est la vie.
Good News
I’m writing a series of articles for a magazine (unnamed at the moment) called "Wicked Fantasy." It’s me taking a look at the classic D&D races, providing my own versions. The John Wick elf. The John Wick dwarf. The John Wick halfling.
No, it isn’t Halflingworld.
Should be fun. When I get a contract from the magazine (shortly), I’ll announce the name.
Bad News
The company I work for, Perot Systems, does IT work for other companies around the world. My current job involves a contract with Catholic Healthcare West–a chain of hospitals out here in the Western states. CHW wanted changes, Perot accomodated, and so my job is getting shipped out to India come June next year.
It’s okay, I’ve got plenty of opportunities out here, including transitioning to CHW staff. But I thought you should know if you ever hear Republicans talking about "America first" when it comes to workers, ask them about India. Then, give them enough time to jabber about how Democrats are going to ruin America, and then smack them across the face and tell them to be ashamed of themselves.
That is all.
