Reminds me of the days when I used to play Team Fortress Classic (3D first person shooter) in a clan.

Some time I told my wife that "Now I am going to have a nice and relaxing clan match with my on-line buddies, and also enjoy a cold beer". A moment after that I was grinning my teeth, swearing and cursing at the computer. And after the match when I got off the computer feeling rather agitated my wife would ask me if THAT was really the enjoyable relaxing match.

After few weeks I quit playing TFC, because it wasn't relaxing anymore. I started playing the nice and relaxing SP:WaW with my beers.

I've felt that way about many things over the years, but two points immediately come to mind: (1) my band-playing days ended in 1997, after years of playing certain songs that I started dreading to play and performing at private-membership clubs named after animals and whose clientele was, to put it mildly, not too hip. The birth of my daughter also played a big part in my decision to abndon the weekend job. I rarely even pick up my bass anymore, but I still listen to the music I love. (2) my day job involves sitting in front of a PC in a cubicle for 8 hours, 5 days a week. I come home and end up spending the majority of my evening sitting in front of my PC at my desk in the kitchen, either on the forums, doing research & writing on my current assignment with the MC Team or occasionally even playing a game. Point 2 is the most relevant one, because before this summer is ended and school starts, my family and I have to get away for a few days. I haven't traveled out of town for nearly two years, so to Bill and the rest of the team, it's high time I took some R & R. I'll let you guys know via e-mail when this will happen. Glenn.
