canadiandiamondBoy, it wasn't yesterday that I wrote in here. It's been almost two months actually, yikes. Things have been pretty crazy in the last several weeks that've kept me from getting to it I think, but hopefully that'll change from hereon out.
It all started when one person was leaving our office at work, which we had been told in advance and had started to prepare for, bringing us from four support staff to three. But the weekend after she left (her last day was a Thursday) my own assistant called me on that Sunday afternoon and quit out of the blue, which meant all of a sudden we were down to 50% of the staff we usually had, and have been that way ever since the beginning of the month. It's been really bad and since then I've been in the office on more weeknights / weekends than I've ever been in the previous three + years I've been at this I think. The good news is we finally got some ads out there and had resumes come in and interviews start on Monday for filling those positions, phew. We really need two more people but even getting just one now would be great to stop the bleeding.
Other than that, things have been ok I suppose. I've been playing my Xbox 360 a lot more since it came back all brand new and whatnot, including renting games to play. I rented Guitar Hero III and The Simpsons Game the last few weeks, both which were really fun, and last night I picked up Eternal Sonata which is so very beautiful, holy crap. It's an RPG based on a dream world of Frederic Chopin's making while on his deathbed, which sounds pretty weird but it's awesome. I had a demo of it ages ago so I knew it would be good, but the full thing is just fantastic. I also picked up Assassin's Creed which I had put $10 down towards ages ago and that's pretty good too, though I'm content with saving that for later at this point.
I've also been cleaning up a little, going through a ton of boxes and plastic tubs that were stored downstairs for aaaaages. Mom helped with me today, doing most of the sorting actually, and unearthed so many awesome things after just a few boxes (there are 10+ for sure). She found an old high school journal I had to do in Grade 8 or 9 or something, which is hilarious, and maybe I'll put some of that up here just for a laugh hehe. Also some of my old Nintendo games in their original boxes with manuals and all, includin Mega Man one and two, Super Mario Bros. 3, Final Fantasy, etc. There's also these TMNT comics I drew years ago, haha, which is just so funny, and tons of other stuff. I have two tubs in front of me now, one packed with Choose Your Own Adventure books Ineed to sort out (including Time Machine and some kind of D&D variation of those type of books) and another with my old X-Men and Teen Titans comics that I was looking for forever. And yes, I am such a pack rat that it's crazy.
So that's where things stand right now. I've got a lot to clean up and sort out, and a lot of other things with which to occupy my free time, which I should hopefully get more of soon after these upcoming interviews. So yes, I should go off and do that now while I can. Yay for the weekend!
