Been a busy few days. lets see, where to start...

Work: Got some kinda disturbing news regarding the vacancy at the tech bench. It got filled by someone whom I never thought I'd have to work with again (that not working with part was a good thing). Did anyone from the tech bench have a say in this? Nope. The individual's technical expertise? Nil. His attitude in the past towards just about everyone? Horrid, to say the least. So the Mgmt says to "be positive about this happening". Lemme tell you, I'm positive it will be an exercise in restraint to co-exist with someone who's goal in life used to be to make us tech's miserable.

EQ: Guild has been on a hell of a roll. we went from holiday crappiness to hitting anywhere from 3 large to 6 or so small raid type targets a night. tonight it was something like 3 PoEarth rings, a few mini-named in Sol Ro's tower, and some assorted odds and ends. 20 or so spell runes, like 8 major item drops tonight, and it's been similar every night this week.

Misc: KAA has .Hack//Sign episodes 11-14 up now, and after seeing The Last Samurai (amazing movie, I thought it was even better than Gladiator, hell it was almost on par with Last of the Mohicans!) I snagged the OST from suprnova. gooooood stuff.
