If there’s anything that catches my attention on the Internet, it’s reading posts by people who are looking to join a campaign.
Also animal videos. They’re adorable and I won’t budge on this exposing of my sensitive side.
I was scrolling through Reddit when I came across an example of the former. A player was looking for a group to join! I let him know about this place and explained my rules/expectations. He, in turn, told me what he wanted to try out.
I won’t spoil the details, but when he’s introduced to the campaign, I’ll write up a Biography Page for him. For now, I’m wandering the route with my Campaign’s Notebook and plotting out new concepts to add in the timeline.
While I’m enjoying my nerdiness, I’m also enjoying the looks on the faces of management as I remind them about the multitude of contracts and manuals that they should be following when giving me orders concerning the mail. It’s a sort of perverse pleasure to explain to someone who technically outranks me that they need to pay attention to a set of forms that they do everything in their power to avoid.
I’m a nerd. I’m also a bureaucrat. I like going through books for references and having paperwork in proper order. It also annoys management because they can’t issue discipline just because I’m following rules that they find annoying. This is why I support unions.
Stay safe out there, readers! I’m off to make a supervisor sign off on six pages of paperwork. *Mad cackling ensues.*
