#ray updates

So life is uh great right now. In case my lack of fic updates hadn't already made that clear. I thought I'd give a little update on where everything is at regarding updates. I'm actively working on the next chapter of Nothing Personal aka bounty hunter Lily. My plan is to hopefully update sometime this weekend (if not before).

As for This Time Around it's a slow WIP. Given the complexities of my life right now this is a harder one to write (who knew it would be hard to write happy family fic when life is chaos). I don't have any idea when that will update at the moment. Chances are this one will be a surprise update at some point.

Recap: I left my old department near the end of August and started in a new one on the 21st. Same company, other end of the building. EVERYTHING WENT TO HELL. I started working insane hours after not having to do much work for basically a year.

Company screwed up my pay and I only got half a check for my first pay period. Then the time clock ate ALL OF MY PUNCHES and my supervisor had to edit eight of them, then I ended that pay period with 128hrs. Check was great but I had a bit of a breakdown and cried in front of a lot of my bosses (supervisors, department head, project manager, couple of VP's) because of the stress.

Now we're hitting our stride, finally, after a hard September. I worked Friday, I'm off until Thursday and GRATEFUL for getting P*ng**ns H*ckey back on Tuesday.

Just wanted you all to know that I'm not abandoning Whatever It Takes.

If you were there and saw some dumbass in an Atlanta Thrashers Wildwing jersey, THAT WAS ME. I’ll be wearing my Big Jeff Carter jersey tomorrow, Penguins hockey socks, and VERY LIKELY my “i watch hockey for the plot” ballcap.

I hope for the sake of the Pens’ LB crew this is a good game (and that we win). So far Boston has been great. Everyone has been so nice, even though it’s obvious I’m a Pens fan (robopidge patch on my hat). Mostly gentle ribbing, which is appreciated more than the capacity to be downright mean some fans have (see also the fan that pulled up to the curb to boo me in my Pens jersey when I was in Columbus).
