My brain is awake. For around four days it won't stop. 2am this time. Last time it woke at 3am.

I'm exhausted. My student nurses are exhausted and talk to me about how hard it is out there. The wards are worse than they were in March. I listen to them and realise how lucky I am but that doesn't negate the depression and fatigue. I'm using all the tricks of my trade to help me cope.

I'm looking for the helpers. I see my nurses pouring their hearts into their work, even when they are so tired. My charity guys just spent a month organising, collecting and then delivering hampers to people with nothing for Christmas. They're up there in our hall four times a week...

I don't know. My well of positivity is running out I think.

There was a RIFTS game I was on for a while where they had a very neat system to counter this.

It was basically a sheet of points - for selecting an RCC or OCC for your character.

I did some web sleuthing and I don't think I found exactly what you were looking for. Though Rifts: Kingsdale did seem to have some kind of Tier System set up.

This was the game I staffed on. What they are describing wasn't ours unless I'm losing my memory.

Which is possible.

@kumakun I still twitch at the memory of having to use spreadsheets to level people up on the Rift mush I staffed on.

I found this place. They do big boob bras at actually reasonable prices with big name brands on there. They post internationally.

@silverfox You don't think that might have something to do with stuff outside your control? I mean global pandemic...

Thank you so much work, for making me give this assessment, just so I can know how badly I'm failing as an online teacher.

Online teaching is HARD. Like, twice as much work as face to face right now.

@surreality He was also a person featured heavily in the British childhood... He was the Green Cross Code Man who watched children on CCTV, and then went to talk to them about crossing the road safely...

I am sad I am not witnessing this char.

You could be...

@GreenFlashlight Thank you

May I offer a range of dogs? My mum's old man is visiting us while my mother is at my sister's during her chemo. He has made a nest, using every blanket from our blanket basket, and then squashed the basket to be a pillow. He has basically made a blanket fort to protect himself against the bitches. Also, have a boxer derp-face.

Then my sister's dog visited us, and you can see the look on my dog (white boxer)'s face.

@SuperiorHuron The squoshable face!

bad anxiety with making a character in fs3

I had someone else take over stating my characters in the first two ares games I played. The third I took a roster, then once I knew people were nice (@JinShei and @L-B-Heuschkel to be specific) I took the dive to do it it myself. That was positive enough that I've done it myself multiple times now.

Thanks for the name check, babe. Xx

Always happy to handhold if you need help, Cobalt. I've dmed you on discord. I'm drifting a bit but need to log into TC or GH more. (work is insane)

Geoffrey Palmer, TV and film actor, dies at 93

Bobby Ball from Cannon and Ball died of covid.

@Derp Funny thing. I teach online and we'll be using VR but... this equipment won't speak to ours at all. So... just yay?

Haha I got promoted. Apparently that means random people email me asking if I need VR equipment for home...

Why yes please. I love my new role.
