WillBlackrose Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Will dropped down the the rooftop the note had indicated. He looked around carefully and saw the small man standing by access door. He could see the two heavies trying to hide in the shadows but was not concerned. He walked up to the man and nodded to him. The little man sneered and looked him over, finally speaking in a whisper. "You are smaller than I expected. We were hoping for more." "You are foolish to let appearances trick you." "We shall see. Everything you need is in the folder. You might want to shape up a bit before taking this guy on..." "The job will be completed by the proper time, I assure you." "See that it is, Assassin. See that it is." The little man handed him an envelope of cash and a large sealed folder. Will accepted it and watched as the man and his associates left the rooftop. He opened up the folder and began to laugh. The picture inside was the very man who had handed him his assignment. So much for the warning, but Will also knew not to underestimate a target. His assassin training had taught him that much at least. He had six weeks to complete the mission, so he might as well take his time in planning this one out. This little man could be more complicated than he seemed. * Goals for Six Week Challenge * Goal 1 : Time Management Improvement * Goal 2: Conditioning:* 2a: 100 Push-ups every day* 2b: 100 Sit-ups every day* 2c: 2 miles in under 20 minutes* Goal 3: Find a better Job 3 WillBlackrose, level 16 Human Assassin STR 12 | DEX 13 | STA 15 | CON 15 | WIS 12 | CHA 14 Life Quest: Evolution of an idea Reduce base weight from 300 to 180: Progress point 203# Main Quest: Conditioning and endurance Planks in 100# weight vest: Lvl 1(1 minute): Done.

Harika Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Your goals look a lot like my previous challenge. Do you have a more specific idea for time management? An ideal that you know better than to expect or the start of a specific plan? 1 Species: Elven Vampire Class: Assassin Magic Numbers pvp Heroes vs Villains Link to comment

With 8 hours of sleep that is the entirety of 5 days, solid, without time to eat, cook, bathe, . . . @_@ Better pay and better treatment is something worth spreading yourself thin for.

NicTheRugger Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hey there! You look like you have some solid goals. My question is how are you going to be measuring your progress? Other than Mission 2, which can be rather obviously measured. Best of luck!

WillBlackrose Posted September 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 @NicTheRugger For Time Management: having more sleep time and free time to do other things. For "Find a better job": Non hostile work environment would be a nice start...and maybe a regular schedule. 1 WillBlackrose, level 16 Human Assassin STR 12 | DEX 13 | STA 15 | CON 15 | WIS 12 | CHA 14 Life Quest: Evolution of an idea Reduce base weight from 300 to 180: Progress point 203# Main Quest: Conditioning and endurance Planks in 100# weight vest: Lvl 1(1 minute): Done.

Harika Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 I have been given varying information on following up, but I think it is consistent that if they give a "we will let you know by . . ." that starting the next day follow-up is allowed and/or expected.

WillBlackrose Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Update to progress: Time Management Quest: Now that I have reorganized things and have a new job which has more reasonable hours, things are falling into place. I am having more time to spend with my son and more free time to work out. Conditioning Quest: Things are underway without issue. Started with 10 sets of 10 pattern to warm things up and 2 5 mile walks rather than a single 10, but all will be evolving as the quest continues. Better Job Quest: Old job is gone, starting new job at 10am today. Once I have been there a bit I will be able to judge more. Everyone there is pleasant and smiling and the pay rate is workable. 1 WillBlackrose, level 16 Human Assassin STR 12 | DEX 13 | STA 15 | CON 15 | WIS 12 | CHA 14 Life Quest: Evolution of an idea Reduce base weight from 300 to 180: Progress point 203# Main Quest: Conditioning and endurance Planks in 100# weight vest: Lvl 1(1 minute): Done.

WillBlackrose Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 ~A dark rooftop in the city~ William Crouched low, his rifle trained on the target. The little weasel had been harder to track than he expected. As he aimed, he softened his breathing until his heartbeat was the only sound in his ears. As the cross hairs fell into place, William exhaled and squeezed the trigger. He watched through the scope as the bullet passed through the glass and into his target's chest with no emotion. He took the rifle apart, laying it in the case and armed the explosives. As he sat in the coffee shop across the street, he watched as the rooftop erupted in a fountain of flames and noise. He smiled over his cup. One down...and many to look forward to WillBlackrose, level 16 Human Assassin STR 12 | DEX 13 | STA 15 | CON 15 | WIS 12 | CHA 14 Life Quest: Evolution of an idea Reduce base weight from 300 to 180: Progress point 203# Main Quest: Conditioning and endurance Planks in 100# weight vest: Lvl 1(1 minute): Done.
