[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2379857, member: 13098"] There are some interesting ideas here Yangnome. I will definitely have to re-read and consider when I have come closer to catching up on sleep. That way I am sure I catch all of your ideas for consideration. :) FWIW - Most of the effort in organizing comes up front for me. Work really has been an intrusion into my life lately and that rolls over to gaming and to EN World. I have had to cancel games recently because I wasn't home from work, and would have been too tired to do anything even if I were home. This last week, work sucked up 80+ hours of my time. I have spent most of my time at home in 3-5 hour increments trying to sleep. The prior week wasn't quite as bad, but was pretty nasty. This is uncommon for me. But the error I was working on required the assistance of people across 4 continents. It took a long time to find developers that wrote the code that could help us resolve our issue. Even then, we lost a significant chunk of data that we have been trying to repopulate. Fortunatley, this particular system was at the beginning of development rather than honest production. We probably didn't lose more than 6 man weeks of work. When I was younger and actually exercised on a regular basis, I would have been irritable by the end of this week, but I would have still been ready to do nearly anything I wanted. Nowadays, it takes a larger toll on me immediately. I can't control age, but I could exercise more. My point is that we have had a convergence of really bad work issues for me and time in Ceramic DM. As much as I love EN World, and the Ceramic DM, both of those things do give way to a regular paycheck when it comes to the wire. :( Judging each entry takes a lot more time than organizing. On the plus side, without my notes, the judgement entries are shorter. :) My biggest regret is not having the wisdom to admit that RL was becoming too much of a bear and pulling Macbeth's judgements in sooner. I think none of us like to admit that we aren't able to keep up with our committments, but I should have set the ego aside and done so sooner. [/QUOTE]
