Unexpected but fun things happening in real life which, together with work, leave me very little time. Tomorrow I should be able to post sufficiently.

Great news!

I should be back on a human schedule by Monday the 30th! Only one more week of crappy hours! Thank God!

Lights, until then, expect sporadic posting. I'll do my best, and can probably post at least once a day, but if I get completely wiped out I might skip an evening.

For the first time ever, my job is involving actual work. Surprisingly, this has reduced my ability to post with excessive frequency. Also it's Tisha B'Av.

Happy Tisha B'Av, everyone!

Hopefully life will be back to normal and I can go back to being a slacker soon.

I'm back from my vacation to the land of fried green tomatoes, shrimp and grits, and pulled pork. Should be posting regularly, although there might be some small delays over the weekend when I move to a new apartment and get internet there set up.

While I will admit to a certain cynicism, I am a nay-sayer and hatchet man in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another.
Being sick for two weeks has left me badly backlogged at work, and I've been given a hard deadline of next Tuesday for a big project.

ARGH. I need to post in BO before I fall behind again. Will try to post later, had a post done last night but lost it to dead internet. Almost got the same with ADOM. Need to refigure Laura's shiny new powers.

Soon soon soon. Will have net at home and no more crap like this. Gotta run now, billion things to do today. :(

Okay, getting back on the horse, but already giving a headsup for the next vanishing act. Thursday to sunday, I'll be off hitting other people with padded swords and attending Hyrule weddings.

Back monday. No other outings planned this summer, except potentially moving.

I'm really ill: every time I eat my body temperature immediately shoots up into a fever and I begin sweating, I feel tired, light-headed and shakey.

Unfortunately my work is pushing me to excel around about now and I can't afford to be off.

So I'm having to physically burn myself out in the hopes of meeting expectations and not collapsing into bed.

I'll post tomorrow some time, assuming I hit all my deadlines.

I got all four of my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday. It was a straight-forward, simple extraction, and the wounds are healing well. Unfortunately, yesterday was also the day my wireless router was apparently fried by a lightening storm. I felt pretty good today, so I came by the library to post in my games and this thread. If I keep healing at this rate, it shouldn't be a problem for me to go down to the library, but they do have me on narcotics, and my family has a history of sensitivity. Posting should be normal, but I can't promise anything.

I have a big interview tomorrow (Thursday), and have to get application materials together for another interview in the evening. Then Friday is my Birthday, and I've got an Engagement party on Sunday, so this weekend ought to be interesting. I'm going to update everything tomorrow and Friday, but this weekend, don't count on anything.

Also, I'll be moving on the weekend of August 11th, and I'm not 100% sure if I'll have Internet immediately upon moving in. I'm trying to arrange something, but we'll see.

I found out today that my dismissal was upheld, and now my girlfriend has fallen extremely ill. Overall, not a contender for the high point of my summer. Posts coming some time within the next 24 hours.

EDIT: This thread has been popping, lately, I've noticed.

I spent a good part of the day running errands and watching bad movies with my friends. I'm quite tired, which is why I didn't post much today and not for a little while longer while I get some sleep. Thanks for keeping me in your games everybody!

At some point it stopped being for vacations and family emergencies and whatnot and is now more or less for calling off work for the day.

I am feeling better, by the by. Expect posting later today.

Over the next four days I'm running a 10 hour SWRPG game, packing for a move, and working 15 hours a day. I'm going to do my best to post, but honestly I might not be able to. If this bothers you, please talk to Winson about it, as he is taking the place of my normal "gently caress YOU" representative.

Humans were drinking alcohol five thousand years ago, and they're still drinking it now. Alcohol is humanity's friend.

Can I abandon a friend?
Unlike everyone else, I am just chillin' with my friends Ath and Blondrobin this weekend and will be unable to post on account of being out and about with them or drunk off my rear end or potentially both.

We will have enough fun for the rest of you sad, sad people though!

Getting ready to move like a lot of other people. I'll be checking and updating, but it may be spotty until August 11th.

Moving poo poo to storage starting today until it gets finished (no internet except for library/hotspots), then a week spending time with some people who don't have internet currently, and then moving in the 11th to a place with internet.

Well, things have hit the fan at work, and I am in a tiny conference room with other programmers for the next several days through possibly september. War room development is unpleasant, and it will mean little if any posting during work and exhaustion after.

Tomorrow, I'm heading out west to visit my parents until the 9th. I'll be posting fine once I'm there, but tomorrow and the 9th will be travel days, so don't be surprised if I miss a 24-hour period therein.

Was in the hospital with a severe sinus infection, sorry I vanished, posting starting again in an hour here. :(

EDIT: More details while I post, I suppose. The infection is gone, so no more worries there, I was just in exquisite agony for a few days while my eye swelled up like a tire and unspeakable liquids exploded inside of my sinus.

For internet at home, the drat MAILMAN has still not delivered our wireless setup kit. We have no idea if the company has not sent it yet, or if the post office has it, or WHAT, but I'm calling again tomorrow and ranting till I'm purple in the panties. I am rather sick of only being able to post once every few days! At least it's given me a lot of time to putter over game notes and such.

Okay, so the good news is I've moved into my new place. The bad news is that I can't get internet hooked up until next Wednesday at the earliest.

I'll try to post on a semi-regular basis, but my games will definitely move more slowly. GMs, feel free to NPC me if you have to. Just don't kill me :smith:
