A Second Job

I think it's no secret that I really love NUF and have been heavily addicted to it in the past, nowadays I'm more controlled, but it's still something that consumes loads of my free time.

One of the things I wanted to do since some ages back was to restart the Adventurer's Guild roleplay from scratch, I really really wanted to do that, but the free time to do so was escaping me, so it kept being a plan in my backburner... Well, fast forward a few months, my significant other broke up with me and I was in dire need of something that consumed loads of time and took lots of attention... And that's how AG V2 was born! Out of my need of something to focus on that I absolutely loved and could dedicated myself fully to... I mean, translating is fun and all, but working on AG is a lot more.

I don't really regret it, but it was probably a mistake to do so, because it really can consume too much time... Especially when you mix some procrastination to read long reports here and there, and suddenly you can find yourself spending a whole week doing nothing because you ended up focusing on AG... That's not the smartest thing ever, to say the least.

Don't get me wrong though, I really do love spending my time making quests, updating the wiki, fixing issues on the map and trying to expand in the lore in one way or another, reading the reports is also super fun and I'm glad I read every single one of them... But well... Sometimes I just don't feel like it I guess? It's like playing videogames, sometimes you're in the mood for Final Fantasy, at others for Mortal Kombat, you don't really have any necessity to play Mortal Kombat each day... Unless you're a professional player of MK that is, in this case you totally need to play everyday.

That's kinda how AG feels at times, when I'm not in the mood, but still need to go look at things because... Well, I'm the head GM, if I'm not going to look at it, who will? At times like this I really feel glad to have a good team helping me out, because they always backed me up and helped when I suddenly couldn't handle something. So... If I'm not going to look at something, they will, I'm glad I can trust them in that.

So... That's kinda what led to my sudden NUF disappearance for those 2 or so weeks, I needed to focus on work, but decided I'd just catch up to AG before that... But I wasn't really in the mood for it, so I procrastinated a lot in getting it done, then a bit more procrastination before working, then back to AG with more procrastination involved and... Suddenly weeks passed by without me touching work... And you know, work pays bills and stuff, so staying weeks without working isn't really that great... At least I don't get fired due to working independently, but that's still pretty bad.

So I used those weeks to kinda get myself back on track and start solving some issues of my personal life too I suppose, including making a doctor visit that I have been postponing since forever and starting to visit a psychologist again after a long time without doing so... It's working out nicely, thankfully.

But well, just because AG kinda feels like a 2nd job, it's not really a bad thing, it's just another responsibility I need to take care of... I just need to make sure I first take care of the RL responsibilities before logging in to NUF.

Today I caught up to my watched threads and PMs, tomorrow to my 1800 alerts I guess, and if there is enough time in the day left, to AG too... But only after I finished working, that's my goal for myself, to stop visiting NUF until I did my part.

It's why I only came back today, because I'm finally working properly again... Glad to be back~
