Will be away for a few days starting tomorrow. I might be able to log-in once in a while but my connection might be worse than usual.

At some point in the next two weeks, I may stop showing up for some time. My old job may be calling me back, and I'll be damned if I lose my (14.40 an hour, 58 hours a week union job with benefits in a town with a Wal-Mart) and stay at my current (8.95 an hour, 40 hours a week, cold, wet, in my podunk town of 2k people that closes up and rolls up the sidewalks at 4, whereas I get off work at 430)

tl;dr version: I may get my old job back, but I'll be living in a motel until I can get into a new place and get back on my feet. Wish me luck!

I (and Mr. Blueberry-Pomegranate, alt du jour) will be scarce while I tend to my grandmother's last days and funeral. I don't expect this to severely impact any sort of formal duties, but anything informal, exceptional, or highly time-sensitive will go undone.

Feel better, for sure. comfort.gif

I'll be away for the most part this weekend, I'm heading back home for a visit to set up my bedroom at my mum's house for the move in a week and a half!

There's a terminal illness in my immediate family, so although I do have a little bit of time to play, when I do, I'm fairly distracted. I'll probably be sporadic for a few weeks, and my schedule for the immediate future is somewhat up in the air.

I'm still going to work on my in-game plays, item designs, wyrden fable entries and stuff like that, though, even while outside of the game. I will have substantial free time from day to day, though it's hard to concentrate on doing that stuff currently.

Going away on vacation (to pick up my fiancé and bring him home with me, yay!) Tuesday through next Monday. I'll be around somewhat because I'll have my laptop with me and will be stopping some places with wifi, but not regularly. Will be posting to the Geomancers board about it as well.

wub.gif you all!

Today is the day I move, in about 20 min I'll be leaving to get on a greyhound bus for 11 hours.

May be around later, may just decide I'm better off sleeping or vegetating on my mum's couch.

I will be largely away for the rest of the week as I have a lot of things to do irl. For those who might need me for something, I'm most likely around from 10GMT~12GMT.

I think I notified everyone necessary, but I won't be around for a few days.

Computer reformatting, etc. Long, complicated story, but hopefully I won't have a keylogger after it. wink.gif

Heh. I can just see someone opening those logs to find passwords or something and seeing MASSIVE WALL OF TEXT from Lusternia.

That is exactly what they would find. wink.gif

Along with a lot of commands "SMOKE WEED" xD

That amuses me so much.

No, just intensely noobish behaviour. >.>

I discovered that so long ago but it still amuses me. xD

It's great though when you're trying to cure and your pipe is filled with weed rather than faeleaf.

EDIT: XP SP3 up again - should be online soon. Downloading/installing the necessities of life. Should be back tonight if all goes right - if not well then... biggrin.gif

Okay, double post. andnothingtoseeherefolks.

I'm pretty much AFK all summer long... I recently got an internship at Fidelity Investments, 40 hours a week, all to help pay for college. Plus, on weekends, I have my part-time job at Borders to worry about. And on top of all THAT... I have a girlfriend who's craving some attention! Hehe I'll still be around, though not for very long at a time when I am.

HOWEVER! Since I have nothing better to do at Fidelity, since they haven't given me projects to do yet, I've been working pretty extensively on Mantis, and it's shaping up nicely! The curing section has been completely redone, and now I'm going to start work on the Wounds curing. I'll be doing some preliminary alpha testing for Mantis when I can, and may even need some help with all of that... Any takers?

It's Canada day weekend this upcoming, so I wont be here. Sorry Templar, you're stuck with Aliod making the Guildhall into a shagpad for a few days until I get back from visiting my boyfriend. tongue.gif

I wasn't sure if being in Jollye Olde Englande would mean I couldn't connect much, but it turns out I can't. Between the stuff I'm doing here, and the crappy Internet I ended up with. So I'm only in for a short while each day to do the guild paperwork and stock shops and stuff. I'll be back middle of next week.

(This is also why the updates to the new skills are taking a while on the wiki.)

ohmy.gif But I need furniture designs submitted! I guess I may as well mail the designs and the cash and you can get it whenever.
Lendren2010-06-29 20:49:45
I can certainly submit designs as usual. That only takes a few minutes and isn't impaired by lag.
