*only makes sense to Discworld fans, and if you aten't one you should be.

Holy prolonged absence, Batman! Long time no Subsim!

So... uh... sorry I haven't been around. Does anybody still remember me? It feels like forever since I've checked in. I swear I've thought about you guys every day, it's just been the spring/summer/fall from hell at work and now it's finally started to calm down over the past couple of weeks altho given our recent track record we're due for another major upsetting of the office apple cart any minute now.

I've gotten back to working my "normal hours" and I'm keeping my fingers crossed but it does seem like ten hour days are once again the anomaly instead of the usual thing, which they were for a while, and while I enjoyed the $$ from all the overtime, I had no time or energy to do anything fun with it. Just mentally and physically worn out all the damn time. Now over the past few weeks I've gotten into somewhat of a comfortable routine again at work after all the changes, gotten a few long overdue things done in the condo, finally hung up the pot rack I'd been wanting in the kitchen for instance, it's been over a week and IT HASN'T FALLEN DOWN YET

and I've got a few other projects in line like replacing the back patio light that fell off the place during a big windstorm back...uh...in the summer some time, I can't remember.

In my own defense I did try to replace it once before but the light fixture I bought wouldn't work with the mounting plate that is used with this siding I've got, go figure, so I had to exchange it for something that I hope will work and I guess I better get on that in case I need to return the second one and start over. Again.

Ran into another major snag on the current project, and maybe I'll post about that in a separate dedicated thread and solicit help on that one since it's got me stumped and I got to either find a solution or pursue a different option ASAP.

Anyway - I hope ya'll are doing well, I've tried to look in and around and catch up on what's been posted but that may be a lost cause at this point.

I'm hoping I can get back into at least checking in more regularly if things stay relatively calmed down at work.
