Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats.

We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

Late night bitching

Okay, so it's just about 9:00 PM US EST and I am at work and it's Sunday night. I came in because I didn't get as much done yesterday as I wanted due to these addictive message boards. So here I am, trying to catch up at an untimely hour, on the same message boards. Talk about poor impulse control. There's not even that much traffic at the moment but here I am. Does this make me a Taddict? Do I need help?

<stands up> My name is Kehvain and I am a Shadowmarch addict....

Userfriendly has icons for people who suffer from th' "Userfriendly Productivity Virus".
I think Shadowmarch needs one 'f 'em as well.

Re: Late night bitching

By the way, congratulations.

I meant to say that earlier.

(I guess there is some sanity left in here after all)

Re: Late night bitching

kehvain, you're workin' waaaay too hard, or at least thinking about working waaaay too hard, which, in my realm of experience is almost as bad.

What's worse, actually going to work all weekend & getting a little bit done or not going to work & stressing out about that all weekend? 

Rhetorical question - kind of - I'll find out when I get back to the office in the am.

Re: Late night bitching

Well, I've made the decision to leave work. It has not been a very effective attempt and I am going to quit while I am ahead (technically I am behind, but this way I can still get some sleep tonight).

Thanks to all of you who kept me company. I just have one more post to make (my addled brain seems to enjoy spewing nonsense) and then I am going to hit the road.

Later all.

Re: Late night bitching

Well - have a good night - enjoy your time away from the office.  I have the luxury of a great family to remind me that there is a lot more to life than putting together sales budgets . . . .

Hiya! It's not late where I am. Also, I have no idea what y'all are talkin' about. Just thought I'd say hi.

Re: Late night bitching

I knew that I was an addict. I am home now. But I couldn't resist coming back online.

I may not have a family here to keep me grounded, but I do have my cat and she put a smile back on my face.


And then, of course, there is the community....

Re: Late night bitching

Yeah, I guess you could count me one too. Though is it just me or didn't this site used to be a lot more activer late at night.

I distinctly remember because late at night people usually fell into using phrases such as "lot more activer."

Oh, well.

Re: Late night bitching

I'm not an addict. This is a spiritual quest for me. I have been sent by my deity to take over as many message boards as possible before the coming appocalypse. *looks around* I have more work to do here, I see.

Weren't you at one point the Queen of the Underworld or something equally odd? ;-)
