This grim description sounds all too familiar, for this is how my life was like too for a pretty long period. This was one of them ajor reasons for being nocturnal - late evening/night is the best time to do stuff without distractions. The unpleasant complication here is that the day becomes a boring period that you can only endure, but never enjoy. Your entire schedule rewards around the habits of other people, and you end up waiting for them to finally retire for the night... The short period when I was living and working in another city wasn't a very great time, and yet I have retained good memories from it exactly because I had a greater degree of freedom, which was lost when I returned home and my 2 years of unemployment started. The good news is that there is always a chance for things to change for the better. The bad news - no way to tell when and how this will happen... so you don't have much to do beyond gritting your teeth and enduring. Yay for real life!

As I've surely told many times before, my job alternates boring periods with periods of maddening hectic activity when there;s never enough time to finish all the important stuff and you rush everything ,praying you don't make a big mistake somewhere in the blur. I am glad to say the current hectic period is almost over and I am already tasting the upcoming lull, which should last until late January next year. The good thing is that I learn new tricks and shortcuts every year, so the hectic periods do become slightly easier every time. But only slightly... (same thing applies to gaming too - I could barely beat a game the first time, but become after a while)

As you know, I'd definitely love to do some co-op in those Aftershock test maps. I have a feeling they will be more fun to play when the misery is shared :P

I know of two commercially released total conversations for Quake - one is an X-Men thimed thing, and the other was something like a cyberpunk/crime themed thing. They should be interesting to check out.

Heh heh, I guess the limited nature of websites back in the day forced people ot make the most out of them. So you'd have a website about Quake... abut also about your cat, your vegetable garden, and your favorite semi-nude ladies in Daggerfall!
