Sheryl - I do mean Philcon! I don't know what they have me scheduled for yet, but we should keep each other posted.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Sail, that's a lot! But it sounds really good. I'm glad to hear it.

Sox, that's exciting about the potentially career shaped object!

Many happy returns, Sail! Milk those discounts for all they're worth.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Sail!

I think this is my third year delurking and sadly I’m losing ground. I feel like the delurkiest! I try to catch up when I can but real life has interfered. I can’t say there’s any thread besides this one I’ve posted in since last year. When I have a spare moment I do try to catch up on Supernatural, Boxed Set, and Natter threads and as is always the case, conversations I have opinions on have long since moved on. I do send mental fist bumps and ~ma thoughts for the Buffistas ups and downs. Since, I’m all delurky, Java cat, my sincerest condolences on your loss. Happy Birthday SailAweigh.
My life is much the same as it was except after eleven years of consulting, I took the plunge into a regular job in corporate America. It was time. I wanted stability, less travel, and reliable health insurance. My new job gives me all that with the bonus of being the place I’ve consulted most. In fact, I moved from a consulting job to a regular job all while sitting in the same place and doing the same thing, with the bonus of paid vacation and crazy things like pension plans. This year did bring more fun travel, Copenhagen & Berlin in June to visit family. It was my first visit to Berlin and wow, it’s an amazing city. I definitely want to go back.
I’m growing more things, tomatoes, squash, volunteer corn, berries, apples and more. It’s been really satisfying to eat the bounty of my own garden. This morning I popped out for an apple off the tree. It’s equally heartbreaking to watch pests steal away some of my bounty. Monkey cat happily guards what he can, failing more than he succeeds.
I wonder if I’ll still be delurking a decade from now? Would that be weird? I think it might be a little weird.

That sounds amazing, ehab! And it's totally fine to delurk once a year! I'm glad to hear from you, but you shouldn't feel obligated to post any more than you want to or are able to!

Ehab, whereabouts in the country do you live? Just curious. Moving to a permajob sounds exciting, and I'm super jealous of Copenhagen and Berlin!!
I, um, still do the same thing I did last year, but for a different company. I still live the same place, and have the same roommate (and quite enjoying it--will be sad when she moves out in just under a year!). We got a cat (technically hers) who is huge (17.5 pounds) and very needy. I still travel a lot, but mostly to LA these days. ...that's about it exciting in my life.
