Well still alive, not that many would know it.
I've been going over what I lost when the hard drive was deleted and trying to replace my yaoi/bl/whatever manga.
I've been pretty much able to recover just about everything except 2 that I really miss, and of course since they're licensed, I can't track them down. Boku no Koe and Haru o Daite :sigh:
I hadn't burned them because I kept going back over them so had them 'live' in a folder on my desktop. I was able to track down through the lj community my lost Loveless, and since I'd upped my Sensitive Pornograph to streamload to send to another mod on Noated, I still had that in my account. With having joined Nakama's yahoo group, I've raided the database for links and been able to recoup most of what I hadn't burned and if there are some that I haven't, well I can't remember them so guess they weren't important. :)
I'd forgotten for a bit that I was also in Fushichou's yahoo group, but remembered it when I went through my groups so was able to resnag some of my missing ones there. :sweatdrop:
Oh well, sooner of later the watered down version (most commercial releases are just lacking most of the time) will finally be released or perhaps some of the online dears will help me replace them.
On other news, works been hell! What else is new :lol: Dreading what is coming up there, and worried majorly that I'll even be employed come the new year. Our darling company has always treated my section as the 'red-headed stepchild' especially when it comes to software development. So because of their running behind on getting our product line up with we call the 'commercial' side, they managed to lose our major customer. That's over 200 individual sites that we not only did software and hardware support for, but also management services. They were our BIGGEST account and mostly servicing them is what my section did, even to our on call tickets. So with them going around the first of the year, there is going to be very little left to support as our other customers are much more self-supporting, and the sales department has been very slow at getting new customers in. I figure our on call pay will be axed. That's $6000 a year loss of income right there, and that's if we are still employed. I've been trying to help in the commercial side of the company, just to make myself 'productive' and to give them the idea of keeping at least me around. I've a very slight edge in that since I'm a product specialist, but since we sell very little of that product, that isn't much. Since they've never fired laziest worm in all these years and rounds of layoffs, I figure that they'll keep his lazy ass (and it may sound prejudiced, but I do believe that a large part of why they have never fired him is due to racial quotas.) Lazy bitch has been being cross trained into another product line, so they'll probably keep her for that, and since she can still do our customers, that leaves her an edge there even though she's far down in senority. This all doesn't bode well for me who is odd man out. Doesn't help my stress, depression, or anxiety in the least. All adds up to why I want to sell the farm land. Guess I'll have to come up with some way to protect that so if I have to file bankruptcy it won't go to creditors. Oh well, maybe I'll get lucky and win the lottery (which would take actually playing it first ;) ).
