My wisdom teeth didn't put me down for long. Took  prescription pain meds for maybe two days, was only out of whack for maybe a day. After that it was the occasional over-the-counter pain reliever for less than a week and I'd be more or less recovered.

Today is not a good day.

It started when I was told that I would be going to San Jose. Now, San Jose is not the worst place to go, but the problem was that I had to be somewhere else afterwards to pick up a load by 10am. This was at 8am. My base is two and a half hours from San Jose if traffic cooperates, and its another good two hours to the pickup location. So I'm already doomed to be late.

Then, after I finish in San Jose I get a call to go somewhere else to help out a rookie. This puts me a good half-hour further behind schedule, and since the rookie was in the opposite direction of the pickup I then had to drive that extra half hour again.

THEN, when I finally arrive at the pickup spot, everyone is lecturing me for being late and now I've been sitting around waiting. For two hours. To get loaded. Since of course everyone else is arriving on time so they get priority. Despite my protestations that there was literally nothing I could have done to actually get here on time because I was practically late from the get-go.

My plans to get a shower and have a decent dinner are completely out the window now. All I can do is hope that they get around to setting me up eventually and hope that traffic isn't overly horrible so I can get this stuff delivered tonight.

Imma have words with my boss tomorrow. This is bullshit.

Weston reports what he saw through Nimue's eyes.

"Unfortunately I can't tell from here if the leader actually has magic abilities or if he just carries a staff around for show. Maybe once we get closer I can try something."

((Nimue is a she, by the way. Not a he ))

"Tell me, Weston. Do you have the capability of looking throw the eyes of your owl? I believe that would be handy in both scouting and peeking. By the way the name's Aurel. Just Aurel. That's all you need to know about me, really."

Makes a sly smile.

Weston couldn't help but applaud a little.

"Well well! Someone knows a little something about familiars, it seems. Yes, with a bit of concentration I can see through Nimue's eyes as though they were my own. Very impressive, sir Aurel."

"Of course Nimue and I would be willing to help. Obviously if we go underground or something she becomes slightly less useful as a scout, but I'm sure we'll still find ways to impress you all."

Weston gave a short bow before continuing.

"Well, you know who I am and a general idea of what I can do. Mind introducing yourselves, my lords and..."
He suddenly glanced around, checking each of the party members.
"...ladies? No ladies? _{Oh well...}"

We had delicious sandwiches for dinner last night, and an extra was made so I could take it with me for lunch/dinner tonight (because they are just that good).

Five hours into my exceptionally busy day I realized that my sandwich was still in the fridge at home and I had nothing else to eat whatsoever :/

But at least it will be there when you go home for comfort eating.

Even the best sandwich won't be so good after a week. I told my mom that she could have it instead.

I'm kinda with Furtuka. It was an admirable effort by TFS, but I'm not sure how well it worked. Haven't seen any other abridgements of AoT so I can't comment on how good any of the rest are.

Anyway, I decided to finally check out Gurren Lagann after that hypestorm from a few years back (yes, I am Slowpoke slow).
