Yes, folks. I am alive. No, I have not disappeared. If you have been getting my away message that reads "I'm either at work or asleep" then that is one indication I am alive. If for whatever reason you have left me a message and I haven't answered it, comment here and I will answer within the time either before I leave for work or when I get back from it. Read on for further info.

• Work: I love my job. The books are heavy, they get dropped all the time, and they are nifty. Books sell off the cart we are working on, and I tend not to notice because nobody tells me things. If someone notices a book missing in their rack, it could be one of two things: 1) it sold, or 2) it accidentally got shoved in the reject box. I get my first paycheck tomorrow, so that is a good thing. No, I can't tell you how much of that is going back into the bookstore for accumulation of books. Titles of what I'm looking at will be posted upon request.
• Home: I seem to be getting along okay with my sister. Nothing has broken yet, and I feel happy that I have managed to not kill her. We are trying to work on a few RPGs right now, but can never stay set on a particular game system. So it just shifts accordingly. Gaming with her only is more fun than gaming with the other group of Kezzie, Phil, et al because I can get away with so much more. Got growfed at by flower_cat at 0130 because we were still up. Oops.
• October. I am definately looking forward to this.
  1. I get a selkit for 10 days
  2. I get a paycheck
  3. I get to go find out where pentaclemoon wants me on the baycon staff next year
  4. I get to figure out who wants me for Gnomeward Bound (2007 WesterCon)
  5. I get to have a night without mom & dad because they are going to a wedding
  
  
  Yeah. Lots to look forward to. Now. Umm.....Anyone care for some work humor?
  
  • Most often heard whine @ work: "So many books. I wish I had time to read one." --- Me or Tim
  • Most often done sport @ work: scaling & packing away Mt. Reject (a pile of books that are too readily available and thus are not accepted by our software) --- Usually undertaken by me, David, or Tim.
  • Most often complained about: "My computer is being hijacked by God! I can't enter things!" --- Davesan when his computer is taken over by the administrator remotely
  • Thing people at work can't stand: scaling Mt. Book (a huge wall of boxes of books that are typically either mass market or trade books that are stacked in a staircase config against the back wall of the warehouse in the storage area

Congrats on the Paycheck (just read mdlbear's post).
See you at Silicon.

Not going because of the politics. I got kicked off staff because of a misunderstanding, and nobody bothered to listen to my side of the story. They just made an assumption, and even now I want vengence against the ones who cast me off.

Not to mention the insult done to flower_cat by inviting her as Fan GoH and revoking it in favor of Other Change of Hobbit. Not going.
