[for those who want to know]An update on my work situation: things at my store have greatly improved and I was all set to go back to my regularly scheduled program... and then my manager asked me to go help at my old store. Turns out they are in even worst shape management wise than we were, as they're left with only two new(ish) sales floor supervisors and no one to help train/work along side them, other than the store manager who is already swamped as it is. What does this mean for me? I wake up/leave for work earlier (was in bed Monday night before the voting deadline), I spend more time traveling by bus (an hour or more each way), am working longer hours again, and get home later (ate and went to bed exhausted Tuesday night). What does that mean for you? While I will do my best to stay on schedule, please forgive me if I straggle behind, it's very rewarding going to help out my former staff/store and I don't regret the decision, but still it's also time consuming and tiring, leaving my energy reserves drained ^^'
But enough rambling about real life and back to the internets. I must say we had a terrific voter turnout, more ballots than I've seen in a long time and I hope it will continue XD Thanks to all those who submitted these lovely icons and/or took the time to cast your vote, especially if you did both! A wonderful job by everyone but special congratulations to this week's winner(s):
If you have placed (1st, 2nd, 3rd or MC) this week, please leave a comment here stating whether you would like a banner (plus provide any additional image links, font names or resources you used and optionally specify the type/style of banner you prefer if so) and I will be happy to make you one asap; otherwise it will not be made. The only reason I ask members to request them first is to avoid wasting time/effort making them for those who do not wish to have one. There is also still cb_overflow available instead.
