I want you to notice/ when I’m not around/ I wish I was special/ You’re so very special…

Was feeling the compulsion to apologize again for sparse posting, but I know it’s Spring in more places now, and people flock outdoors in Spring, away from the Internet. So let’s neither of us feel bad.

We got the Rock Band game, and it is awesome. My voice is hoarse every night now. I try to play drums when our drummer wants to sing, and I’m getting almost competent at it.

In other family consumerism news: One of my kids is having a birthday, and I think we’re gonna buy him a bike. Yay! Bikes for children! Either a bike or Heelies.

In other family activity news: You know what we do all the time here at home? We play badminton. We tear those shuttlecocks up.

Well, that’s about it. Lately I go to work and work my brains out. I go to work, and everybody’s like, “Check with Fixed Accounts on the makewhole fund distribution annuity 457(b)(c)(d)(g). Call the VPRMGPD and ask for the TPA on the PC and the AC/DC.” And then I show up and they say, “Oh, hey, Gwen. We need you to run into that big room over there. Take this print-out, your pen, and a notepad.”

And I go, “What, now? Aren’t there, like, actuaries in there?”

And they go, “Yeah, but just run in. We’ll be right behind you.”

And I go, “I don’t know. I’m kind of scared.”

And they go, “Well, while you’re running in, just yell out your name.”

I go, “What?”

They go, “Yell out ‘GWENDOLY-Y-Y-Y-YN… ZEPE-E-E-EDA!'”

Me: “What?!”

Them: “Like, for instance, if your name was Leroy Jenkins, you’d yell LEE-EE-EE-EEROY… JEN-N-N-NKINS! Get it?”

Me: “Uh… Okay.” I push open the door. I start running. “GWENDOLY-Y-Y-YN! ZEPE-E-E-EDA!”

Inside, there are dragons. And dragon eggs. And giant knights in fiery armor. And actuaries! And fund selections! And 401(k)(b)(j)s!!

I pull out my pen and slash away! Fire and numbers get all over me and I die!

But then, like in every other game, I’m resurrected right after that. Again and again.

And I will level up.

I will see this job pwned.
