Time Off

So i decided last Friday to take a break from my moderating role (only over the weekend), I felt i was close to calling time fully so a short break would hopefully recharge the battery's & hopefully get my head & heart back into the role. I did spend sometime on Friday on my PS3 playing red dead redemption & also playing in Ramos with my Inter Retirement side, But with working Saturday AM & playing 11 aside Saturday afternoon, I was no where near a computer again until Sunday evening. I did manage to totally miss all the who-ha of the new patch in FML :) .

I was planning on being in Sanchez on Sunday evening to run the 1st stage of the Universally Challenged Quiz that is currently being rolled out across every gameworld, But a text at just before 4pm inviting me to go to the pub quickly altered these plans. Several pints later & after going for a curry i was unable to even focus on my computer screen, So just went to bed.

Monday came round & it was cup night for the works 5 a-side team, Supposed to kick-off our 1st game (hopefully) of the evening at 6.50pm but due to the referee not arriving until we did at 6.45pm for the game before ours it was delayed for 30 minutes. Not really what you want after a long day at work & even less with it pissing down :( . We finally get round to playing our quarter final game & take an early lead only to be pegged back midway through the 2ND half. I was kept busy in goal by the opposition team & felt relieved when the final whistle went, The game to be decided by a penalty shootout, I save the 1st, their 3rd is put wide & i save the 4Th & we go through to the semi final. Great only an hour to kill. Its not really ideal weather to be sat around waiting so we all go to McDonald's for a coffee. The semi final practically plays out the same way as the quarter final 1-1 at full time except this time we go out on penalty's, I save 1 & 1 is put wide but it wasn't enough as we missed 2 & their keeper saved 1, But at nearly 10 o'clock i think we were past caring & glad to be on our way home to get dry & warm.

Tuesday & i finally get time to log in properly into FML, I was hoping to get time to go round all 3 gameworlds but due to a lot to catch up on in Nunez i just managed the 1 gameworld. I was surprised to see i had managed to finish 8Th in the TFA Premiership, My side wasn't exactly the best, I would of honestly thought i would be on more for relegation than a place in a UFFA competition next season. But my tactic was fairly solid & was unaffected by the patch. Hopefully i will be able to push on next season as a few of my youths are looking good enough to throw into the senior side & with a few well chosen wage auctions buys i feel i should do well in season 5.

Hopefully now as the weekend draws nearer i will be able to get into all 3 gameworlds & catch up in each with everyone i know, sort out my sides & should the need arise maybe just maybe do some moderating :)
