Rough Week

In between being the Admin on the game site and being ill it has been a rough week. Worst of it though was last night.
Went to light up a cigarette that I had put out earlier and the cigarette caught on fire, setting my mustache on fire along with it. then the tube in my nose decided to get into the act as well. Ugh!
I had to replace the tubing, put something on the side of my nose for a burn and the hairs of my mustache on one side are feeling very rough.
I might have to shave it off. Saddens me though as I have had this mustache for probably twenty years or more now.
Some days I know I shoulda stood in bed...

To Silly

The headline blurb said Bert and Ernie are NOT gay! What has the world come to? We worry now if puppets and muppets are straight or gay? How odd and definitely how silly!
People need to get a Life, they spend way too much time thinking about the darndest things.

In other news, personal news, looks like I am going to lose another Mod :( She has been on the game site as a Mod for a long, long time (measured in years) and is tired and wants a break. Also she tells me the drama that is going on around us and the players is getting to sickening for her and she definitely wants a break from that as well.

In the meantime, I have work to do so I cannot play...

Busy

Where does the time go? I have very busy of late with the game site and the chat lobby and working with the moderators and Time has slipped away from me.
Also it is August and my lovely wife's birthday is fast approaching so I had to be looking around for a nice gift for her as she deserves such a gift :)
It just seems as though I spend way too much time on the game site and the people there that I often find difficulty in finding some "me" time. I am hoping to change that as I really do need some time to just goof off and not be so serious about everything. The game site is fun but it also is a lot of work and time spent doing that work. Somewhat stressful at times and I need to kick back, take a deep breath and relax.

Who's The Boss?

My game Mod boss is still on her hiatus. I am wondering most days if the woman is ever going to return. She does not answer her phone nor return emails, definitely not good signs!
In the meantime myself and another Mod are still sharing Mod Boss duties as best we can. I have started to take a little more control of things as he has some personal life problems to deal with. Life first, fun second.
Yesterday I convinced Support to give us another moderator. He has been very helpful in the past and had applied to be a Mod but the boss didn't get around to making a final decision. I do know that her initial thoughts were to turn this player down. But I convinced Support to let us have him at least until the Boss is back. Better a temporary solution than none at all.
We really do need the help and the new Mod is as pleased as a kid on Christmas morning. We still have 3 Mods missing, the boss and her partner and one that is out with serious health problems. Where once we were at fifteen Mods we are, with the new Mod, at ten. Ten people to cover what should be covered by at least 12. We are making due though and I am happy that things are going along as smoothly as they are.
Support did tell the owner yesterday that she and I had made this player a Mod and he was okay with it. He also said he is happy that someone is taking the initiative with running things. Something tells me that he does not know if the boss will be returning or not either. Not good.
In the meantime, we continue to play.

Site Crash!

My game site has crashed, big time. Roughly five hours ago, in the middle of a game I got kicked out. Tried to get back in and nothing. Talking on Skype with some other mods, same problem.
Called the person that I know can reboot the site, she says she will see what she can do. About half an hour later I call her back and she tells me it will not work for her. She is trying to get hold of the site owner. I wish her good luck as I believe he lives in England and it is midnight his time, he is probably asleep.
Since that time the site refuses to let anyone in. Ugh! There are going to be some very angry players in the chat lobby once the site is finally back up and running.

More Drama

All the garbage continues on the game site. I wish it would stop but it appears to be like a wildfire that is out of control.
Yesterday the crap hit the fan in the chat lobby and the boss had had enough. She exploded all over the place and really let one of the instigators have it! Whoo-hoo! Her language violated the rules though but I didn't have the heart to boot her nor did any of the other Mods. A person can only take so much garbage before they start giving it back.
Unfortunately, the boss also quit. Not good at all. I talked to her on the phone afterwards and tried to calm her down and I am hoping she will reconsider. Haven't seen hide nor hair of her so far today though.
Time will tell what happens and all I can do is hope and pray that things calm down...
