Yes, it's been a while since I posted. Missed most of the summer, but believe me, it's been due to being busy. Lots of things have happend.
First, there was ACen, which I never got finished reporting. Happens, but it WAS fun. Then, there was the trip to Illinois to see relatives. Again, a good time had by all. There was metal detecting, and my third silver coin, EVER. Felt good.
In June, it was off to Pennsylvania, which worked out fine. I got to do some dancing, and was competent, or seemed competent enough while drunk, to dance with others. Then was Wizard World, at its strange time. Amazingly fun, if shorter than I'm used to. I look forward to next year, of course.
Summer was summer! Very relaxing at times, a pain at others. I turned 28, on the dot, as usual. Didn't notice much.
Then came the computer virus. Had my computer down for a few days as I tried to ficure out what was going on. Turns out the problem was Norton's. Goodbye, crappy anti-virus, hello Avast! Problem solved.
Now, for the BIG news. I've applied for an opening at work which is, essentialy, a management position. This is a BIG step for me, and even attempting it is a success. I've already gottne the support of friends on the matter, which helps immensely. There's a bit of worry in the whole process, as well as the general fighting off my negative brain side, but I did it, and I WILL interview for it. I've got just as good a shot as anyone. There's at least one other person who's going for it who I think has an excellent shot, and while I do WANT the position, if she gets it, I would not be disappointed.
Well, that's the big stuff! I'll keep all appraised.
