Ick.

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?

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