... Oopsiedoodle.

Postby tak197 » 09 Sep 2013, 15:32

So, heeeeeeey guuuys.

How's it goooing?

So I think you may have noticed, but I have been on a sort of extended hiatus from the forums for a while. I missed you all, but I just didn't have the energy to log back on until now. You see, I'm finally getting back on my feet in some respects, so this post is for more of an update and a commitment to try to get back into posting.

This all started back in April, when I went to a job fair in Wilkes-Barre, a city about an hour or so from where I live. I talked to a few different places, but one in particular that I talked with was an online travel company (that I prefer to not name, as I've always tried to avoid advertising my job locations. You know, social media policies and so on.) Well, they extended an interview to me a week later, and by May, I was filling out my new hire paperwork for the company. They told me that I would be in training for nine weeks starting at the end of June. My sleep schedule had to change and adjust drastically, making me have to become a morning person. I would leave my house at 7:20am and not be home sometimes until close to 6:45pm. When I'd get home, I'd be so exhausted that I'd eat dinner and go to bed.

I'm not complaining though, because in week 5, I had an interview with another department in the company, and by week 6, I had gotten an offer to basically get on track for a promotion. This week, I am starting my first actual non-training shift, and soon, if they extend it to me, I will become a full member of the team (I was offered a temp position in name, but I was trained to do everything this department would need me to do,) which would mean I'd get a raise in my hourly wages. I also had to be trained in multiple campaigns, too, as I would be doing high-level service for a few different companies.

The positives of this job are that I am now working full-time, which means I am eligible for insurance, I am eligible for a bunch of travel discounts (except airfare, because even the people who work at the airlines don't get discounts most of the time) though membership in IATAN, and I am making a good amount of money, even if the student loan payments are sucking about half of it away. I am now going to be working Tuesday through Saturday from 2pm to 10:30pm my time, so I have mornings to do what I need, as well as Sundays and Mondays off.

So tell me, what have I missed from my favorite people on the internet?

King Kool lives up to his name.

Elomin's bag has tripled in size, I'm a professional actor, Bebop Man and his partner in crime have taken over the question thread, Fayili is still sweetly devious and just about everyone in the relationship thread can't catch a break, with exception of a lucky few.

Oh, and there was a LRR coup while you were away, Graham and Paul were deposed by Cam and Kathleen. James lead a valiant counter insurgency, but Paul failed to secure Mr. Ballsmatron in time, so the effort came to nothing. Graham and Paul have not been seen since mid-June, and are rumored to be hiding out in the Strip Search House. Gib is head of propaganda, Bill has been ushered in as a puppet Home Secretary and Andy has been exiled to the Falklands.

Business as usual basically.

Welcome back! been a while since I've seen the power avatar (Powertar?). I moved at the end of april and have since lost 30lbs. That aside, something about a LRR kickstarter from the recent PAX I think. WAsn't there, just what I've gathered.

To address this,

No, and that's why I'm still sane today.

Tak! <3! How are you? How's your health actually? I know we were worried about that, and I think we got an update but I don't remember if it was resolved... But also. Tak! <3!
