For some reason, I was bored at work. It's not that I don't enough work. Far from it. I have more work than most of my coworkers. My boss always piles more work on me because he knows I will finish my work on time. 

Today, however, I just didn't feel like doing much. Nonetheless, I still managed to accomplish some of my work, even though I played most of the day.

Here are a few things that happened today:

My blood work came back, and I am healthy. Earlier this month I posted to "friend's only" about being told that there was something wrong with my blood work. All evidence pointed to a possibility of bone cancer. Today, I found out that the lab made a mistake and gave me a lot of grief for nothing. I should take on the personality of one of the character's of one of my role-playing game (RPG) that I play (Danny Pickett) and shoot the phlebotomist. But the mistake doesn't matter anymore, because I'm happy. I don't have cancer and that's what matters. 

I have pain while walking, and my doctor thinks that one of my medications is causing it. I am to stop taking that medication for 10 days, and resume it again afterwards. If I find it difficult to walk again, we will know that the med is the culprit.

Ok, let's get down to my accomplishments:

1. Danny Picket put in his final posting the redemption_isle RPG, thus finalizing the first thread he participated in. I never would have believed it, but I just love this character. I am hoping that he will not be killed in the actual show. I'd love to play around with him. He is volatile, sensitive, enigmatic, stupid, low class, evil, loyal to his friends, etc. It is a gem of a charater to play. Of course, in our RPG, Danny will go on despite how it will play out in the actual show. Nonetheless, it would be nice to get to know him a bit as the creators of LOST imagined him to be.

2. Rose Henderson just answered Dannielle's thread in lost_the_rpg. The other role-playing game that I play. Hopefully, we can have a nice dialogue.

3. Benjamin Linus and Walt Lloyd (also in lost_the_rpg) are resting right now. Actually, Ben is awaiting answers from both Jack and Ana Lucia (she is not dead in this game), and then he is back in the game. Ben is also awaiting to see who is playing Juliette, as we had a "staff" turnover, and then confess to her the horrors he did to Shannon. (He beat her up but good and broke her arm.) I am really a nice person, but just play violent men.

4. Now the accomplishment that I am most proud of is the colorization of this cartoon:



I went from the black and white version to this:



5.  At work, I had a good conference with one the authors whose work I edited. She accepted most of my changes, and I accepted most of her rejections. All in all, we had a positive meeting.

6. I finished making a chart from scratch for one of the articles for my journal at work.

7. I finished reading my son's girlfriend's short story. She writes well. I liked her style and her storyline. There are a few technical things about grammar that she doesn't know. I'll correct those for her. Very few people know the technicalities. That's where my profession is needed.

8. I posted 3 replies in my favorite LOST Forum and read the new posts in Michael Emerson's forum and answered a private message.

I accomplished all of this in 9 hours. I still have one more hour to go. I think I will implement the corrections that my author and I agreed upon.
