Happiness

I've been tagged a couple of times with the "post for 8 days about happiness" meme, and a couple of people have also mentioned I'm not updating much about personal stuff.

And the truth is that I'm having a happy, and therefore dull, time of it.

Julie is consumed with PhD, and I'm being supportive of that, occasionally distracting her with low-stress things (huzzah for DVD box sets!) and spending a fair bit of time just faffing on the internet in the same room as her.

Work is going well, insofar as I can tell, and I seem to be making more contacts, gaining more responsibility, and getting better at dealing with both the code and the people. Half the time I'm working on things where I need a (reasonably) deep understanding of C# and Windows, and half the time the coding is dead easy - but understanding what the business _wants_ is hard.

I'm really looking forward to going down to see my family for 5 days over Christmas, but I'm going to miss Julie like mad - we haven't had this long apart since last Christmas. I'm therefore looking forward even more to having the week off with her when we both get back.

Roleplaying is interesting - with a bit of time recently spent debating the magic item system in 4th Edition (works numbers-wise, but not for flavour, so we're going to switch it out for having items that are tuned to individuals, growing with them as they develop), but again, not that fascinating to other people.

Things are generally good. I am happy.

I'm not sure I have much more than that to say.

A non-stressful flatshare can be taken as read then. :P

Happiness is good. Keep it up. =)

Don't underestimate the interest in role playing geekery.
At least , not in my case.

Which reminds me - when are you back up and free? I seem to be booked up on evenings of 29th & 30th but that is it at the moment.

Sounds like a plan. Will have to check with him indoors.

Julie could go with you (with her laptop) or you could go down for less time?

I'm off to my parents for 8 days.

My grandparents are both unwell, and I'd hate to miss their last Christmas :(
