Offy, this is becoming a habit. Do we need to stage an intervention?

I'd like to go on a rural tour of western Canada...but I'd end up hiding out in some basement in Whitehorse until I got deported, so maybe that's not such a good idea.

Alrighty, posting here yet again. For the next week I have a few more hours tacked on to my regular shift at work, so I have to wake up at the asscrack of dawn to get ready to go to work and then get home when it's dark. No fun. So since I'm still having random bouts of symptoms from my numero uno health concern, I'm just going to assume that this week is going to be hell and just try to take it easy. I should be back in business Saturday night. C:

enjoy it offy, because you're soon... ohhh so soon now.... to be face to face with the perfect storm of a task report. Forged in a sea of self doubt and angst..... tempered with the unforgiving brutality of infinite regret. All of that topped with the most frightened looking cherry you've ever seen in your entire dream.. or something.


Just ummm ... get your affairs in order beforehand is all i'm saying.

I had a rather unfortunate incident happen at work today and will not be around for an unknown amount of time while my investigation gets started and my life can turn back to normal. I'm so sorry for my constant absences as of late.
Edit: This is looking super ugly at work... One accident has been blown up so much that, quite frankly, I'm terrified. There's a possibility that I won't be back for some time, so I'm going to make the best of it.

Deepest apologies, just as I thought things should be getting back to normal, everything fell apart at work...just getting off shift now, hopefully this isn't going to be a thing.

So, as to avoid a long list of constant apologies, we are working on a large rollout project at work and I'm running lead on it. What that means, as you've all seen recently, I've been about less, dreaming later and waking earlier. With this project either everything goes swimmingly....or it doesn't. More often than not, it doesn't. I'm working 12-14 hours a day, six days a week and unless our success rate improves drastically, this project will run through October or so. I will do everything I can to be around as much as I can and to make scheduled events whenever possible, but please don't count on my presence at any given time. By the time I get to logging in, I'm already mostly spent, so while I'm glad to assist where I can, this project is a huge opportunity for me professionally. Just to clarify, I'm not leaving game, but Uthy won't be stable enough to take the drivers seat on much of anything.

Good luck with the project, and don't worry about taking the drivers seat thing. I just hope you can get some sleep one of these nights :P

Well, it's been a difficult first month at my new job, I am tired beyond words, and certainly can't stay up long enough to log in at any interesting time... thus, I've been mostly away, logging in every few often to check the Mission Board, but I guess that's it... I don't see any kind of meaningful presence working out for me anymore, not in this timezone and with this schedule. Real life comes first.

To complicate things further, my laptop's in repair for something like two and a half weeks (time to order part), so I don't always have access to a PC to run the game.

Surgery on the 12th. I'm not sure how much playing I will get in while recovering with my mother visiting.

I most likely wont be around from the 10th-14th as I'll be closing on a house and need to move all my crap there as well as starting a new job soon. I don't have an exact start date for that, but the job is a bit of a commute and ends at 9Pm Monday-Friday. I'm not sure how this will effect my ability to be IG. We'll just have to wait and see.C:

Ok ok ok ok... I'm not dead...yet!

I hate making posts like this, because it just spoils the mystery of Lacie, but I believe I need to this ~one~ time.

I wanted to apologize to my students for my recent absense. I will be back this weekend *fingers crossed*, so get those reports ready!

Suffice it to say, I'm ~not~ 30 years old...hell, I can hardly remember 30. I started playing UL ... well, later than that. As a FORMER smoker, I have COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder). So, ok, that's like saying Lacie is a DreamSeer who can't catch her breath. Stop laughing!!!! :P

Because of this, I've been a bit under the weather... ok, Spring in Alabama means ~everything~ is in bloom. I love it... but my lungs are giving me fits because of it.

So why am I telling you all this?

#1. I'll be in the City this weekend. Meds are kicking in and I'm better.

#2. For the love of AIR, stop smoking! I switched to e-cigs and the doctors say it prolly saved my life.

#3. If you think you're smarter than me and think you can keep smoking, perform this simple experiment: take a belt and strap it around your ribcage, let a breath out and tighten the belt. Then... ~try~ to inhale. That's what COPD feels like.

Bah... like I said... I hate posts like this... and will be back full-strength this weekend.

Love ye all....

Surgery went well and I seem to be recovering normally. Sadly, no game play until the maternal unit returns to her ship :(
