The Plumbing Saga

If you have been following my steam devlogs. You will see that last week I reported that I had some plumbing issues!

Well the plumbing saga continues!

My sewer mainline backed up around the 2nd. Guy tried to fix it. It backed up again two weeks later. He tried to fix it again. Clogged it harder. I had it jetted. That worked. But my laundry room has a somewhat substantial amount of smelly black sludge in it now. It also partially flooded into the bathroom adjacent to it. I cleaned that bathroom easily. All that’s left is the laundry room. I went down there and two handed Lysol disinfectant spray like Rambo with a mask on and covered the entire basement in it. Waited for it to dry. Vacuumed that.

Needless to say this has negatively impacted my productivity in many ways, not only on the game dev but on my actual job too,

Filed an insurance claim for the cleaning. Haven’t had to do that before.

So far the whole ordeel, from replacing the cleanout so its accessible to having it jetted to the failed clog removal has about costed me a grande. Cleaning the laundry room professionally will probably be another grande, and also the guy hasn’t even done a camera inspection yet. I imagine things will either get way worse or way better from here. Cheers to homeownership.

Daily Prompt: Involved in the cummunity.

Daily writing prompt
What do you do to be involved in the community?

If you mean this community, i answer the daily prompts!

If you mean the indie dev community, I hang out on a buncvh of indie game dev discords and participate in things like turnbaserdthursday! And collaborative sales!

If you mean my RL community, well im not that involved. I do take some time most days to chat with one of my neighbors though, so i guess thats being involved.

Job For a Day?

Daily writing prompt
What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

Assuming I would was paid, I’d put up with being the CEO of a major corporation for a day.

Imagine being the CEO of Amazon for just 24 hours – you would be set for life!

In reality, CEOs don’t have many hands-on responsibilities, they are master delegators.

Their typical day consists of engaging in discussions, many hours of meetings, a few business decisions, sometimes talking with people and than dining with investors or business partners to make more desisions.

Assuming you have any skil at public speaking at all (Which I like to think I do, since I used to host the Revolutionary Games Podcasts) you would be golden.

You would also make nearly 500 million dollars in the most extreme examples. Just for one day.
