Paul McCartney and Wings, 1975

As far as gaming: BoC work. TFA playtesting. I'm working on an AAR of my efforts to force the Germans out of Aachen in the Command Ops 2 scenario "Stolberg Corridor". 3rd Armored Division just doesn't have enough infantry....

Aurora 4x whilst other space games cry to me

GERONIMO mostly for me. Maybe a little IL-2 Korea.

Rough week. Dealing with a real A-hole at work who blew up on me over a bunch of accumulated grievances, having apparently been keeping score against me for some time. We ended up in front of management where he was fuming about how hard I am to work with, how useless I am, and how he's completely at the end of his rope dealing with me - and I'm just sitting here like ???? WTF is going on here?

Glad we ended up in front of the managers though because this isn't the first time he's been a dick and crossed obvious professional boundaries with me, but this was by far the worst one. Unfortunately I doubt they'll be getting rid of him over this, so now I'm just counting down the days, hours, and minutes until his next tantrum.

In light of all that, I plan on blowing lots of stuff up in GTA this weekend.

al- Sorry to hear of your difficulties. You didn't ask me, but if you did, I would recommend you document everything. I suspect you probably are already.

Let me know if you have any questions from the legal side of things.

Sorry to hear about that Al. It really sux to feel helpless when people just decide to grind an axe against you for no real reason, especially if management are not good at handling the situation. Blowing stuff up online is a great way of venting the pent up stress and energy from the experience, sport is even better if you are still capable.
As they say, you can't argue with stupid. Some people their is just no reasoning with.
Hopefully things will settle down in a few weeks and maybe you can reason with him. Take him to lunch or something.

Holdfast
Broken Arrow
COH3 as usual
Downloaded star citizens latest patch.

Tried the war of rights cavalry. They have done a good job, but I have by no means explored all the possabilities. Because so far the sabre only seems to slash in two directions for me. Now considering how thorough these guys usually are, I am sure I am missing something. The game still looks stunning.
