I feel I need to explain my severe lack of activity lately ...
First of all, at the beginning of uhm ... March (I think lol) I started my new job. Now my shift is 9am-6pm but I live about 45 minutes away and I also pick my Mom up and she commutes with me to and from work (we work together). So I get up at 6:15am, leave the house by 7:30am and I dont get home until 7pm at which I eat dinner, do anything that needs to get done then I have free time until I *try* to go to bed around 10pm.
So my Sim time has dwindled significantly, bugs me because I would love to work the other shift they have but it means working Saturdays and only having Sunday off (and rotating between a 6am-12pm and 6am-3pm schedule every other day), which means getting off earlier but not having much of a weekend to get things done or say go to California on the weekend to see Chris's family.
I'm still getting used to things, getting settled in and finding my 'niche' so to speak ... learning how to balance everything out. Good news is, there are rumors my class is going to be hired on permanently next month sometime which means commission checks (finally!) on top of hourly pay.
I just want to give you all a head's up. I know I haven't been around a whole lot, especially when I was around all the time and I want everybody to bear with me. It's mainly just the fact that it's harder for me to keep things updated and check the boards regularly, running shows is a piece of cake because it's only once a month and I can schedule them when I know I'll have the time. But I feel bad for my ponehs and I don't want those who hold contracts or buybacks to thinks I'm blatantly disregarding updating pages or am neglecting to be active, I just haven't had a ton of time the last couple of months because of the new job.
But hey ... plus side is at least I'm working! And while I thought I would hate my job, I actually like it and it's pretty fun lol.
