Well, I was supposed to work until 1900 tonight, but I wasn't feeling at all well this morning, and by lunch I was utterly sick. Luckily, we had several afternoon shifts and my manager pointed out I was green as my apron, so go home.

Came home, and went right to bed for a couple of hours. That helped a bit.

I think a big part of the problem is my eating habits. We rarely have stuff that I can take to work, so I tend to not eat during my shift when I work a full 8-hours. This is bad, and I know it. Kiri made a big order from Safeway's online shopping thing, so that problem will be resolved. Yes, I live about a block and a half from where I work, but most of the time I just want to sit and rest during my lunch hour.

Tomorrow I need to get a good start on the Vilani military structure for Interstellar Wars. All my notes are ready, and [livejournal.com profile] pauldrye was kind enough to send what he has on Vilani culture, so I just need to put it in a coherent form.

And play a little Madden 2003. :)

Half hour to the Giants game.. wonder if Barry will hit another homerun?

WRT Vilani military structure, here's something to ponder:

Most current (early 21st century) force structures here on Terra are triangular, with three maneuver units, plus a fire support unit of equivalent size, plus CS/CSS elements.

Is this an inevitable result of the effects of technology on the Industrial-Age battlefield, or merely the result of the interaction between preexisting Terran military doctrine and the overlay of Industrial-Age capabilities? Given a long history of fighting technologically-inferior foes, would Vilani military structures have evolved differently? Further, assuming that Vilani TO&Es evolved differently (I'd expect a ratio of two maneuver elements to one fire support elements), what would be the tactical implications of a clash between the Vilani organization and the dominant Terran organization?

So will Gridlore Industries make an appearance in IW as well?

Nope. Sir Arameth Gridlore founded Gridlore Technologies shortly before the Third Imperium's founding; moving the family to the Spinward Marches early on, about 60 or so. IMTU, Lunion was named after Sir Arameth's grand daughter, who was born on the journey.

Just a comment on your icon. Shouldn't that be "medammit" rather than "goddammit"?
