I'm just sayin. Gold.

alliancesjrI've recently taken on a second job; I'm going to be joining Tessa at the bookstore part-time. This is in addition to my current mailroom position, so depending on my schedule - I have over ten years of retail experience officially, twenty-two unofficially, so I could probably be placed anywhere - I will be having a serious drop in personal free time.
Since previous changes in my personal life have been taken the wrong way on occasion, I feel I must put a disclaimer here. I'm not avoiding people. I'm not being a jerk or purposefully paying less attention to anyone. My e-mail address is not changing; nor is my phone number.
I'm afraid this is necessary, however annoying it may be. Despite my efforts, I am still heading the wrong way financially. Not having had a pay increase in two years (and it's looking like it may be three), coupled with increasing costs-of-living and having my hours (at my full-time job) reduced? Well, that just adds up. Or rather, it fails to, which is why I'm in this predicament in the first place.
But yes, I'm working two jobs now, and hopefully that's enough. I'll also still have time to hang out with local friends and spend most of the weekends with Trekkiegirl. I may have to cancel my Warcraft subscription yet again if I end up being scheduled very many hours; there's no sense paying monthly for a game I have barely any time to play. It sucks because I just started roleplaying again; I rolled a new healadin to be my Not-Kate, and she's shaping up to be quite a fun character indeed. So it goes.
Speaking of Trekkiegirl, things are going really well with her. I may not be able to talk about it at length but there's been a few conversations and we're both pretty optimistic about where this is going. In the short term, at least, this relationship is going to Les Miserables on Wednesday, and we're going to dress up to the nines. Yes, we're going to be the GQ Motherfuckers, goddamn. Tessa's coming too, and she's going to dress up as well.
Made of Fail is going to record on Saturday, regardless of schedule (though if the timing is wrong I'll figure something out). I'm taking Cheer Sister to Deathly Hallows on Friday night, and I've got not one, not two, but three awesome guests joining me this month. One of which is Cleolinda, who is both attending on her own merit as well as being my Lovely Cohost in place of Dayna, who once again gets to leave the show when the topic is something she cares little-to-nothing about. Another guest is returning from a previous episode, but the third is someone I'm really excited to have on the show for the first time ever, and who Cleo was amazingly awesome enough to snag for me.
I've also just finished my Podcasting Guide, since I've been asked by a multitude of listeners to give them an easy-to-follow tutorial for creating their own shows. Give it a look if you like; I worked all weekend on it and I'm pretty proud of how it came out.
I'm going to make yet another probably pointless resolve to post more to this journal. We'll see how that turns out, though I have been inspired to write a lot more often these days.
EDIT: Also, I disabled that annoying Twitter thing. I thought it would be useful and goddamn it wasn't. My apologies.
