Why I would hate to have a job where I am not my own boss as written by Trent Denne

So, Today I was talking to a friend about organising a time for a world of darkness game, simple "we do it at this time or if you are working, at this time” and that was about it. But after thinking for it a bit I realised that is one of the many reasons I would have to have a job where I am not my own boss, hours, if I am my own boss I can choose, just about on a whim(unless it is something I have to do for an event) what my own hours are so that I would have free time for the things I want to do, that being said, it is not like I am going to go whilly nilly with the hours and have it so that I have something other then work planned every day of the work and not actually get anything done, but it will still let me organise my time a bit better then having someone I barely know make my hours for me. Another is when I am actually working, despite moving slow and seemingly doing things slowly, I actually do them quite efficiently and quickly, employers who don’t know me though may thing that I am not doing as much as said guy who does things less efficiently, therefore taking longer to do it, but it makes it seem like he is doing it. It took my parents a long while to realise that I do all the jobs they list for me at home, I just do them at my own pace and not always in the order they tell me in. For instance, the other day my parents had listed for me to clean up the garbage and recycling stuff in the house, I bagged up the recycling pretty early and got that out, when my mother got home she realise that the garbage wasn’t bagged and asked me why, it was simple, I was waiting for dinner to be cooked so that the scraps from that could be cleaned up.

Either way, enough of my babbling, long story short is that I do things better when I am not being prodded to do things, why? because I don’t feel like I am being pressured into doing things.

In other news, Majora’s mask, and goddamn do I ever remember how I hate water temples in every single zelda game, and its worse, because not only does it have the typical water temple blues, but it is also TIMED, so not only do you have it being frustrating, but you have this clock ticking away at you, horrid.

In other other news, I am running a world of darkness game as previously mentioned, with just a few friends. The splash we are playing is Werewolf, set in my home region Muskoka, now, I wrote the region as having a presence of the three major supernaturals, vampires, werewolves and mages and I also decided that there would be a low population of changelings. Now the problem here with vampires was that they have a guideline that says how many would be in a region based on the population of humans, and based on that there would only be one, so what I had done was create a reason for them to be there other then humans, which was a revolutionary faction sort of things. Anyways, the plot I have set up for my players without revealing too much is essentially detective work into why a gouge has been dealt within the human population in the area, players are to look into that and deal with what they they is the problem, only to have more issues arise, I am excited for it, as it is my first time running a game and I always wanted to play or run a game of WoD.
