So I finally finished peak at Amazon for 2024. It's six or so weeks of busy busy busy but tonight is the last night of it so things should be better. I have deep concerns for the upcoming year, but that's political and I try not to talk about th...
2025-01-01 17:45:57 +0000 UTC View PostSo long story short, 2024 has been a lot. I went to Everfree in July, and seemed to anger some primordial god for an unknown transgression. I've had covid, heart and blood pressure issues, and an e. coli infection. I also got a promotion which ...
2024-11-10 15:20:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo June was okay. Got the new FF14 expansion. Highly recommend. They laid out a good starting path for the next arc of the game. Also finally finished the next chapter of Homelands. I'm going to be putting it up on Monday, but you all deserve...

2024-06-05 10:55:07 +0000 UTC View PostSorry things have been a quiet mess. April I was hoping to find a place and move. That melted down. Then the IRS came with a nastygram and wiped out 2000 dollars. Then I got sick and turned 45 and...

2024-06-05 10:53:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo a little more progress on Arias, Chapter 4, and another choice for folks on how the Mire develops.
In other news, I'm in the process of moving and trying to land a promotion. I have to interview for it, so hopefully I land it. ...
2024-03-18 14:09:18 +0000 UTC View PostNo, I'm not dead. I got through peak with great difficulty due to work putting me in a rather onerous position. Basically, I keep the robots at the warehouse running, so if something falls on the floor I have to go and get it. Cl...
2024-02-21 16:06:02 +0000 UTC View PostI'm alive, just getting hammered by work.
Ciderfest was amazing. It was great to meet so many new people and got to do some great panels. Sadly, they weren't recorded like I thought they were. Ah well.

2023-12-17 01:50:50 +0000 UTC View PostSo Panda Bear died on the 30th. It was pretty hard but when the vet told me she had kidney failure there wasn't much point in prolonging it. She was my baby, and it's hard coming home and she's not here. she provided so much stru...
2023-11-13 20:59:25 +0000 UTC View PostSo August and September happened. My car got hit. I've been dealing with cluster headaches. The medicine for the headaches is knocking me out way more than usual. My depression's been spiking. Panda's worrying me. &nb...
2023-10-02 00:12:23 +0000 UTC View PostSo goodish news. Nothing bad happened in June besides a root canal and nothing bad happened in July besides a strained leg. I feel like 2023 is trying to lure me into a sense of complacency so it can finish me off in December...

2023-08-01 10:08:59 +0000 UTC View PostSo a little good news and mostly meh news. Good news is that I got trained to do the robots job. It's actually not that hard. When the robots mess up or something messes up the robots, I go out and fix the problem. So somet...
2023-05-31 13:42:41 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, not broken, but they're not working well at all. Since working at Amazon I've been noticing an increasing stiffness in the fingers of the right hand. It's gotten so bad that I've been waking up with several fingers virtually para...
2023-05-03 00:14:13 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a story that's been in my head a little. I'm trying to get back in the habit of writing at all, so this is just a snippit. Hopefully it can get me back in the mode of writing daily.
Okay. So I finally have 2023... maybe not resolved but going in the direction I want... so I can tell you what a nightmare February was.
So at the end of January, I was fired without explanation or warning. One day I was to...
2023-03-03 02:45:55 +0000 UTC View PostSo January started off okay. Peak ended. I didn't get any notifications I was going to be fired. I was working hard to demonstrate I'm a good Amazon employee and trying to get that blue badge. Everything was going okay. &nb...
2023-02-01 13:31:17 +0000 UTC View PostI took a deep breath, glancing at Yune and Taght. I wanted to be an adventurer so I could be safe and maybe find some way back home. At the very least, try to fix this body I’d been stuffed into. I didn’t know their reasons b...
2023-01-31 14:07:34 +0000 UTC View PostNo. If I was going to pull this off, I needed friends. Sonna was the first person that was more or less my age who I might have something with. At the very least, she didn’t call me ‘pelt’, ‘beast’ or ‘cat’. F...

2023-01-28 05:20:07 +0000 UTC View PostFortunately the DC was 12. So I made it by the skin of my teeth. December and peak was rough. The job itself is pretty simple. Take things and put in box. It's just a matter of rate and working so many days in a row. ...

2022-11-03 23:12:33 +0000 UTC View PostYou don’t know anything, Akira. Nothing at all. I hated to admit it, but this wasn’t some Isekai where I’d be marched up in front of the king and given the plot in the first manga. This one was going to make me ear...

The darkmarket stunk. Isekais never stank. Some how, if they mentioned smells at all, it was usually some sort of exotic cooking. This place stank of too many people who washed way too infrequently in too small a ...
2022-10-16 01:52:04 +0000 UTC View PostThis was turning into the worst isekei ever. I needed a breather. A chance to process everything. What, ultimately, was the point of my being here? Who’s body did that voice stuff me into and what had happened to her. &nb...
