Life and character updates
Posted 2 years agoHey everyone! It's been a little while and I wanted to fill in folks on a couple of things, especially seeing that the most recent journal post is way out of date news.
First, the original reason I came to the site and the original purpose of this journal: The character update. In the past couple of years, I have been identifying as non-binary. I've never exactly felt like "one of the guys", but while female pronouns and appearance wasn't bad, that didn't feel like the exact right fit either. Looking back at almost all of my art, unless there was something involving chastity, the art of my character tended to be a "smooth" toony look. I also have had interest in blurring the lines of gender.
With all of that being said, I have decided that it made the most sense to declare my character Non-Binary, and have updated the art entries accordingly. You can honestly use any pronouns you want for me, as long as you don't explicitly correct someone to use he/him. If you want to continue to use he/him, that's fine. But that is not the only correct answer.
As for life updates, let's talk about that job I got after I became unemployed. Or perhaps let's NOT talk about it. It was the worst employer I've ever worked for. Over worked, bad practices, dealing with an EXTREMELY micromanaging senior member of personnel, and didn't understand how to explain what they wanted done for the business. I quit that place after approximately 1 month of work.
I was unemployed for 4 months and started a new job last March. This place is the polar opposite. They care about employees, have good practices, and respected me as well. I felt I was treated well enough that I actually put in more effort in some places where I was not being asked to help but knew it would be helpful. So because of things like that and being able to communicate with others clearly within the organization...
I got a promotion! I am now a "team lead" which is a managerial position. It's been different than any other job I've had, but so far I've been handling it well.
On an unrelated note, my polycule has grown in size in the past few years. And I love all of my partners very dearly.

Employed
Posted 3 years agoAnd just like that, I've accepted a job offer and start on Monday. 2020 is a hell of a rollercoaster.
Unemployed
Posted 3 years agoSounds like several people at my work place are now out of work. Guess it's time to start work at a new software place.
If anybody knows of a place looking for PHP software developers, hit me up!

Life updates!
Posted 6 years agoWell I hardly make posts on here anymore but figured this would be a great time to do so now!
- In my 5th year at my current job. Debating whether I want to move to a different company or not
- Moved into my own apartment back in February 2017. It's been great to be on my own so far. Been looking for a roommate since it's a 2/2, but not eagerly looking to do so right now. Also means visitors are possible :D
- The real reason I posted this though: I came down with appendicitis on Tuesday. Went to the ER and they had suspicions and did scans and confirmed it, did surgery the next day and was out by that evening. Slowly recovering right now.

Debts to be paid
Posted 10 years agoSo it might not be a secret to some of you, but if you didn't already know: My financial status SUCKED for the past 5-10 years. There's several people I owed money to. Some more recent (like the past few months) but some of it is several years old. I tried keeping track but I feel I may have forgotten about 1 or 2 payments owed.
Please send me a note or a twitter DM or text or IM or something indicating that I owe you money, unless I've talked to you in the past month or so about money.
Since this is a more serious matter, PLEASE don't try to coerce me out of money or think you're funny or cute by saying "you owe me hugs!" or "YOU OWE ME (random amount of money)" when I don't owe you anything. Nor do I even want messages of praise, or anything. I ONLY want to hear back from you in regards to this if you think or know I owe you money. I don't want this to be full with messages or coments that aren't relevant to what I'm trying to find out.

Posted 10 years agoWhat is this "digigrade" word people came up with? It's DIGITIGRADE. You know like DIGIT? Like a FINGER or TOE? Etymology, people! The word is DIGITIGRADE. There is no "digigrade"

AnthroCon wrap up type thing
Posted 10 years agoAC was a bit of a roller coaster but was still good in the end. It was mixed with a plague of my computer eventually not booting (it was brought over to the game room for one of the games), my paypal debit card having authorized holds placed on it by several attempts to get sodas from broken machines that were working the previous day, and some things I'd rather not get into on here.
Fortunately all of those were pretty much resolved. Things were talked out, money was ok, and my PC is here and managed to boot at home, though it's still on life support essentially. I've got the potential problems narrowed down, so I'll be fine and can figure this out myself.
Really enjoyed hanging out with folks I haven't seen for a while, but I feel sorry that there's some I really didn't get to hang out with more. So at this point I'm just waiting for that call from the job to hire me and get me started on a full time job

AC request thing
Posted 11 years agoIf anybody is going to AC and has DDR pads, my understanding is there ARE none at this moment. So if you'd like to play, see if you can help out and bring them! Preferably metal pads, unless you don't mind risking that your foam DDR pads will be dead by the end of the con.
If you can help, text me (610) 572-1165 (google voice so I don't care about this number being out there) and I'll get in touch with the game room folks.

My AnthroCon "meme" post
Posted 11 years agoAm I going? Yes
Do I think other con meme posts have the dumbest, most awkward and tactless questions? Yes

Golfing during Anthrocon
Posted 11 years agoAnd I'm not talking minigolf! I just found a course that's got a 9 hole Par 3 course, as well as a 9 hole pitch and putt that's about a 20 minute drive from the convention.
http://scallysgolfcenter.com/
Wondering if anybody might be interested in doing this in an afternoon or morning, probably Thursday MAYBE Saturday. They have club rental for the full Par 3 course.
If you want to go though PLEASE try to limit the "furry paraphernalia". It might not be a private course, but it's not the kind of place to go flaunting a furry lifestyle either ;)
Comment if you're interested!

Highlights from last night's game stream
Posted 11 years agoSo the first stream went ok. A little laggy for me to host but wasn't terrible. So here's some highlights of last night:
One hour game of golf online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xo1_x4OlT0
Then a bunch of Garry's Mod junk. Mostly us playing with ragdolls of ourselves and setting off nukes and riding things.

IT'S OGRE!
My first game stream tonight!
Posted 11 years agoTonight me and a friend (a non-furry so you guys won't know him) plan on streaming some gaming. First time we're gonna do this. Might be cool, might be boring. It's part experiment and part for our enjoyment. We usually have some good laughs while playing, so we figured we'd broadcast and record those laughs for others to enjoy. Common games will be Garry's Mod, Terraria, and WGT Golf. Yes, an online golf game.

MSN to Skype migration
Posted 11 years agoSo for those of you who have me on MSN but NOT Skype, I highly suggest you all start adding me. Info is in my profile.
(edit) Side note: If you have another messenger such as Google Talk, Y!M or AIM, I prefer you add me on that since I don't run Skype AS often since my system is low on memory and Skype likes taking up a decent chunk of it compared to Pidgin

Posted 11 years agoSo I just realized that I was in the general path of the storm but didn't let people how how I was doing unless they asked individually. So here's my report: Pretty much NOTHING.
About 1 week and 30 minutes ago from the time I started writing this, I arrived back home early from FurFright due to concerns about the storm. (Yes I arrived just before 9PM that night). Other than that being a downer, we were VERY lucky. 0 hours of power outages and no flooding here. My computer was on all night, so I'd have known if the power went off overnight. The closest it came to powering off was a flicker that caused my monitor to reset itself. VERY lucky.
The office I sometimes work from was also spared, which is EXTREMELY crazy. 10 years ago, the block it was on had wiring SO BAD that if you looked at it the wrong way we would lose power. Going 2 months without a power loss was a LONG time. Horrible considering both that it's a software consulting firm (so HEAVY computer usage) and that next door was the TOWNSHIP HQ.
Anyway... the basement of that building was also prone to getting water often, even during a normal amount of rain that was around 1" or more. This seems to have somehow fixed itself over the years. This time, we just got a small amount of dampness in a few spots, which is par for the course now.
We. Got. Lucky. Many of my friends did not. I know a few people who STILL don't have power. Yeesh.
But yes if you're wondering, we're fine. A few lights that blinked and a few twigs that landed on a shed in our back yard. And a bunch of leaves everywhere.
