I’m Baaack

So yeah, it’s been a while since I updated this… sorry. Has to do with work getting a bit crazy and life doing the same. Details below, but if you want the short version, here it is: Life’s been crazy, but there is hope for better, and writing resumes tonight.

If you’re still reading, I make no excuses for the boringness or length of this post. You have been warned.

Bad stuff first: I had a flood in my apartment, due to very heavy rain and an air conditioner which has its intake on the ground. My living room carpet was completely soaked, and it was only through the offices of a kind neighbor that my car wasn’t also flooded (I park it in the lowest basement garage).

Also, one of my coworkers was fired for no apparent reason, and my boss played bait-and-switch with me by telling me at my performance review that it was fine to read after my work was done, then searching frantically for more work for me to do. I understand that she doesn’t want the department to look like it doesn’t need all the people, that’s how layoffs happen, but no one’s going to see me way back where I sit.

Ah well. Good thing: It may not matter soon, because a couple weeks ago I got a call from one of the departments here at Glass Bathroom Bank where I did my temp work way back in the spring of ’07. Apparently they remembered me as a good worker and a quick learner, and they’ve just had a massive reorg and need workers fast. For a salary significantly better than my current one. Would I be interested, they ask? Oh HECK yeah!

‘Nother good thing: I got to see Celtic Woman in concert again a few weeks ago (first time was March) and they were just as awesome as they were before. Plus, we had better seats so we could actually see their faces this time. I anxiously await the release of the “Isle of Hope” CD and DVD!

Yet ‘nother good thing: The flood gave me the needed impetus to clean up my apartment, which, as one of the friends with whom I went to the CW concert said, used to look as if a clutter bomb had hit. No more! It is now neat and clean, and awaiting the arrival of said friend next week, from whence we shall attend a local Medieval Faire!

Still ‘nother good thing: I shall be attending the Faire twice this summer. Once with that friend, and once with the other two I went to the CW concert in March with (one of them was also along for the June trip), and our little trio will also be attending Confluence here in Pittsburgh! Let’s see if I can’t go three for three in annoying Tamora Pierce at the Con!

‘Nother ‘nother good thing: Celtic Thunder concert this fall with aforementioned friends. Can’t wait!

One last good thing: Writing resumes tonight. Nuff said.

So, all in all, there’s more good in my life than there is bad. Thank you all for putting up with me, and keep your eyes open for whatever gets updated tonight!
