Hey all! Errm.. this thread is LONG overdue. Probably prehistorically due. So due that I can't even think of how horribly pricy a bill would be for returning a library book this insanely overdue. Anyway..
I've been gone. For ages and a half. So bloody long that I was worried if I would even be able to show my face again. I gave no notice, no excuses, kept away from the site because of a handful of things. This wasn't fair to any of you who've been threading with me or planned to, and I'm so sorry for all of this.
Long story short, my work is run by a lot of over-expecting people who like to ask too much of their temporary workers. After Fan Expo they threw me straight into midnight shifts for two weeks, saying it was temporary and that it would just be for a little while so we could keep up with production demand. I was annoyed, but didn't think it would be so bad. After the first week I was too tired to attempt any writing or social contact outside of texting on the way to work before my shift. At the end of the two weeks and I thought I'd be off the hook, they asked me to go back on for midnights again. I agreed to avoid potentially losing my job, but they placed me on midnights for another five weeks.
I've been tired, grouchy, distant, went through every manner of depressing angst because I was bitter about being so tired and isolated all the time. I was so hellbent on getting back into the groove of writing here, but before I knew it I was ignoring my computer for days on end to stay in bed and sleep off the headaches. I was no longer online when everyone else was, felt tired and miserable all the time and it interfered with my home life and work ethic. For seven weeks I was virtually gone, and tomorrow I return to work to the normal shift I had before all of this nonsense.
I'm back to normal hours! Working all morning and having the nights to myself! YES!
I apologize for being awol, and for letting so much interfere with being on PRE. Now that things will be buffering back to normal, I'll be able to concentrate on more than just work again. I'm so sorry to everyone who's been waiting on me or thought I was gone for good. I'll be working on writing when I'm back to snuff with my sleep pattern and mentally capable again, so please bear with me for just another few days to get back into the swing of things.
I'm sorry! D:
