If you want clarification, feel free to hit me up on IM.  I probably won&#8217;t be clarifying in the comments here, and there are good reasons for that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m no longer working for Great Lakes Comnet\/CoreNetworks.  I was not expecting it, nor did I leave the company of my own volition.  Legally, that&#8217;s all I can say.<\/p>\n<p>I am looking for new employment, and have been for two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t say how much I&#8217;ll check back on my backlogged friends&#8217; page.  I&#8217;ve been without reliable computer since I returned the work laptop.  I&#8217;ve got Puppy Linux running on Nikki&#8217;s old laptop, and it works fine until I get Pidgin running.  Then it kernel panics.  Soooo.. putting Debian on a  G3 tower, and I&#8217;ll be finding out what its max ram is.  I&#8217;ll make that my workstation until I find something better.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, even (or especially) when stress levels get high, and life throws changes my way, I geek out with old equipment.  Sue me. :)<\/p>\n<p>Hunter&#8217;s birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese was a complete success and an absolute blast.  He&#8217;s 8 years old now, and has earned\/been gifted with enough money that he&#8217;s purchased his own Playstation 2.  We&#8217;ve got a deal going about behaving and doing well at school, and earning money by doing it.  Seems to be working well.<\/p>\n<p>Cian, the baby in the oven, is kicking like a crazy person.  I&#8217;ve felt him, and talked to him, and generally been embarrassingly cute about everything.<\/p>\n<p>Stress is a bit high, so my temper is a bit short.  I&#8217;m really working on it, and I&#8217;m really working on fighting depression.  Maybe I need to throw in a few more reallys.  Really.<\/p>\n<p>Totally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeah, I&#8217;ve been gone for a couple of weeks.
