Alien Abduction
Friends of mine couldn't help but notice my complete disappearance from January through about March of this year. The cause was pure and simple STRESS. The company I've been working for since the end of 2004 was acquired in June 2007, and ever since we've been working on a variety of projects to prepare for integration with the Mother Ship.
All of that madness led up to the Big Move in March. Two lovely 40-hour weekends (each) later and I got to collapse into a corner. Now I've gotten back to a point where I'm starting to go out into the world again. But the great news is that this coming weekend will mark the actual completion of ALL integration activities! HURRAH!!!!
I feel the strong desire to have some kind of real blowout this weekend, but I'm not sure what form it will take. I mentioned to a friend in IM today that "I really need a stiff one... in almost every sense of the word." I'll leave the possibilities as an exercise to the reader. ;)
To say I'm elated at the thought of this crappy period being over would be the worst sort of understatement. I've already proclaimed that I"m going to do a I'M FREE happy dance as soon as the festivities have concluded this weekend. It's been almost a year in coming and I SOOOO can't wait!
