Since I've been adding & being added by folks from the friending meme, a quick post to touch base!
In some form or another, the text or subtext of nearly all of my posts for the last couple of months has included "work is still a whirlwind, and thus I am still behind on everything else". This includes leaving comments, reading posts (hence the uncontrollable Sea of Tabs), and...well, basically everything that isn't work.
So to new or newish folks (also, hello and welcome!), if you find me commenting or replying to comments days later than one might expect, it's due to the specter of what I affectionately call "Casual Job" (due to the fact that I'm a casual employee, rather than the hours; it was recently mentioned by a couple of people that my nickname for it is somewhat misleading, given the fact that our hours are all over the map and sometimes ludicrous). It consumes my life twice a year. Fortunately, I really enjoy the work and have awesome coworkers, because between Casual Job and my freelance work, I have basically nothing left over for the duration.
BUT.
This round of work may end tomorrow. No one in my office has a shred of control or influence over when it ends, so it also may not end tomorrow, but hope springs eternal. (I am so done. Just...done. I am beyond ready to hibernate for the winter with
scruloose [husband], the kittens, the tea stash, and my freelance deadlines. Emphasis on the deadlines, 'cause I have a manga rewrite due on Monday. Whee!)
And now to bed. Like An Adult. Or something.
