My internship is getting close to its end. It was originally scheduled to end on August 31, but it's now over in July 31, one month earlier. And the reason behind this is... I have signed my first real contract in this compagny !

So I'm hired as an engineer beginner in IT, for an indefinite amount of time, and with a real salary of course. I have made quite some way since last year, and I'm glad it happened finally. The real satisfaction is that I was so lost one year ago, couldn't foresee such a development (and that easy BTW), so there's much to be relieved from now.

Next : find an appartment to rent, and produce my internship report. I'm taking no holiday (as planned) ; on August 1st I'm carrying on with the job (without any drastic change on a daily basis), until winter, I guess. That's where I'll probably enjoy my first days off.

As you noticed, I have slowly but surely cut my playing time and my forum activity, and this is partly due to this. The social calling is kicking very hard.

And I can tell you it hurts, too. Been used to staying a bit too much away from everything apart from my PC (hey I wasn't a nerd, but you know, CDZ and other forums can be addictive, and so is Civ...), and suddenly I feel like the man stepping out of his cavern, the sun beams hurting his eyes... Well, it has to be. Oh, I usually don't talk so much about my inner self, but I feel like doing it for once. After all, I know some of you in RL, and have known so many of you in VL for a long time.

So yes, I've stopped Hattrick. It was a fine game, I enjoyed playing it, and it wasn't too time consuming ; in fact the only thing is that it's getting a bit annoying to think of your matches EVERY freaking weekend. I stopped it because I was frustrated with the game engine, and I'm taking advantage of that to get away a bit more from my PC, hopefully to do other things...

I'm also playing no Civ at the moment. It seems like Beam has stopped playing our game for an unknown reason ; I will gladly finish this one if Beam wants, because I like to finish my stuff, and the map is good, but I won't lose sleep if we forget this game...

OK, it's already getting too long. I first started this post with "Quick update...", but obviously I wanted to post more than the main piece of information (and what a piece). This is NOT a goodbye post BTW, I feel well on this site.

Just changing the angle...

One smiley:

Don't feel bad about our game and I take the blame. Reason why I guess is Pitboss, can't think of anything else.

You pretty much confused me when we got our first chat about Diplomacy couple years ago and from what you're telling us now you got yourself pretty well on track and I personally feel good about it!

About gaming. You are a gamer period. Just look for and find the balance between RL and gaming and the rest of the shit.

For our game : as you want, I'm open to any possibility.

Waoh, I forgot I could have told so much on MSN back then. Would you remind me the shit in PM or on MSN precisely ? Just curious in a way...

About what I am : I still don't have a clue. I think I've now found out what I want to do as a job, and that's a big step forward. For the rest, I may be a bit late (heck, but that's the tendency these days), but I'll try to find out in time. Am I a gamer ?... I think I need to check a thing or two before considering the question. At the moment I'm in a low period for gaming.
