Hey all!

I'm here and ok and occasionally posting but am way behind on a lot of things, due to:
  • Boss on vacation for 3 weeks and dealing with expanded responsibilities at work on my day job
  • Major version release (day job) with all its headaches increased leadership interest due to the fiasco of the last time in spite of an unattainable schedule (and personally working the weekend so my direct reports don't have to 'cause I'm that kind of a manager who doesn't make people work weekends and I have no life anyway)
  • Took over as Treasurer of a nonprofit and dealing with learning both new software (QuickBooks) and the actual details of accounting and auditing the old guy's books and resolving questions, finding missed payments (and my own mistakes) and trying to produce a Q2 report
  • Got a new side gig doing something for the government that someone else is still being paid to do but not having to work thanks to DOGE cuts and voluntary "we'll pay you 'till the end of the year if you quit" idiocy. Good news, I make a lot of $$$. Bad news, I have to do a lot of setup stuff this week.
  • Mrs. Aqua is on a well deserved break visiting friends so it's just me keeping the dogs sane in the midst of nightly explodey things and inevitable cleanup when the phrase "scared the s*** out of them" is literal.


TLDR: PM me if you need me to respond to something in a game that can't wait. Otherwise I'm randomly posting "low hanging fruit" responses and trying to tread water here.

Probably (almost certainly) will be better by the end of this coming week.

I envy retired people right now.

Your schedule sounds exhausting! As a word of warning, I know over half a dozen people who have retired within the last couple of years. All of them say, "Where the heck did my time go?" So don't count on having more time. I think it is an illusion that we all want that to be the case. grin

(Quick Update) I have breathing room and am in catch-up mode. Feel free to nag at end of day tomorrow (Wednesday) if I haven't caught up somewhere.

[Edit: I think I'm caught up. Nag away. Unless you're Miales. You've already exceeded your nag quota. wink ]

And Aqua, I used Quickbooks to run our business for 20 years, so if you get stuck, feel free to ask. Glad things are easing a bit! grin
