Arrived at work around 11:52am and had work until 4. I thought we were closing at 7 and accidentally told a couple customers on the phone. The day was very very quiet and a bit cold. Used my laptop in between orders in the back, mostly reading the RotMG Realmeye wiki about different items. Wrote up a sign around 3:30pm that we were closing early in observance of Christmas tomorrow, and then my brother and I headed back home. Arrived at 4:10pm. I immediately binged-played RotMG for a couple hours. As it turns out I bit off more than I could chew and essentially lost a weeks worth of work (and many weeks of grinding for a specific item, a DPS parasite spell). Felt surprisingly non-self-aggrandizing; just a little frustrated that my characters were slower and I couldn't get quite as much damage in. Had dinner around 6:45pm with the leftover spaghetti squash and chicken salad and the crawfish from the day before. Finished around 7:20pm, played RotMG for a couple more hours, but it was clear the broken sleep hours earlier had fractured my concentration and patience. Lost a budding Knight character (so long, Ancient Stone Sword!) but also didn't feel too too bad. Wrapped up gaming around 10. No Futurama today. A bit of Twitter. Still chewed on a bit of House of Leaves -- specifically the communication motif.
