[livejournal.com profile] bellacrow++ for missing me and asking, which caused a flurry of concern, for which I'm quietly grateful.

Sorry, folks -- the reasons you all haven't heard from me in awhile are severalfold, but the biggest revolves around this:

I got a job!

...only it's far away with hours (2pm-1am) and days (Thursday - Sunday) that put a real damper on anything like a social life. There are several complaints I could make, but mostly this is something to do while I scramble to arrange something more appropriate. However, in the lab where I work, there's only one Internet-connected computer, which I not only have to share with whomever else is on-shift, I don't get to touch very often because I keep having to swap tapes around.

[livejournal.com profile] adric00++ for the referral! It is money, we can use it, and it inspires me to pull off Something Better posthaste. I let DLP down last night because I was at work and therefore unable to be her right-hand priestess this evening ([livejournal.com profile] bearmum++ for the last-minute tag-in), and that's Not Okay in My World.

In other news, the usual holiday trolls are also Wreaking Havoc, leading to less time for you, My Constant Readers.

And, in other-other news, my middle brother's wife (you remember her? The one who said I'm deceived by Satan and going to Hell?) and I swapped some holiday greetings, ha ha bleargh. Should post, might post, should sleep, will eventually...

Hi! Don't know if I'm "back" so much as "checking in," but hi!

Yay! Funny how I really was just thinking "Man, I haven't heard from L. in a while" when [livejournal.com profile] bellacrow posted this. ;) Always good to remember you're loved.

Congrats on the job, even if it is temp. I'm glad things are going okay. Hope I get to see you soon.

Are you merely not-dead, or are you actually undead, which implies dead and then reverse dead? 'Cause having an undead friend would be kind of cool, I could sick you on people I don't like and you'd, like, eat their livers (...with some fava beans and a nice chianti) and it would be very gratifying to watch, say, the server group at my place of employment go down slo-o-owly...

But I digress.

Hooray for [non-|un]deadness and hooray for jobs and money and pissy boo on weird hours and unconnectedness.

I'm ranging from "undead" to "pink" depending on how much sleep I've had, which in turn is an inverse function of how many dunners call and how many maintenance men apply chainsaws outside my window...

Yay for the not-deadness!

This is your favorite Mad Anglican speaking! Please friend me under this new journal name and put me back on the R.N. filters. :)

Good to hear from you! I actually wondered if you'd just unfriended me . . . heh, need to control that paranoia a bit better.

Yay for job, boo for sucky hours. About which I know a bit--the tardiness of this comment is due to not only the computer problems I had months ago, but my 7 days a week extremely early morning job and the increasing amounts of time it eats when it is snowy, icy, cold enough to freeze the fog on my glasses, or all three in combination. Ick ptooey.

Hope you nonetheless had a good Yule.
