Long time, no see

doireAT last! Got an email to say my order has been shipped. Reload 6 and Gaiden are on their way. The manga I ordered for J's birthday on 20th January are going to be a little late, but she said she enjoys extended birthdays. Anyway the Halco doujinshi arrived on time.
When I have things I don't want to face I read, voraciously, rarely looking up to communicate with anyone. I seem to have read the entire Kakairu community and followed most, I'm not quite that desperate, of the fiction links.
Now I have to go back and find those I want to be able to read again. I didn't do this as I read because my tastes change rapidly. At first anything featuring characters I like will do, even 56 chapter, meandering, unfinished epics on ff.net, but later discrimination sets in and I wonder why I bothered.
Curiously enough, the one that sticks in my mind is not fanon typical. It shows its origins in RP and I think could do with a little tightening up. But it depicts adults who had a life before and will have another life later. They're not whiney teenager solipsists in disguise. Naruto Field Trip
I'm in a strange mood because I won't have a job for much longer. My organisation has lost a lot of funding and has to cut jobs. It's been hard managing the process for the staff and it's applied to all levels.
I decided not to apply for any of the posts in the reduced organisation. I've worked here for most of my adult life and it's eaten my soul. It must be like getting divorced; I know it will be the right course, but it still hurts.
I thought I'd feel better once it was irrevocable, and perhaps I do, but I can't imagine not working here, not being involved. That's probably a symptom that I'm right to get out, I need my own life back.
If that sound too much like a plea for sympathy, redundancy pay isn’t taxed so I will have the equivalent of 10 months pay, I will have time to relax, time to do some house work (we have many walls that need plastering and decorating) and best beloved has a job that pays much better than mine

Did I mention the new obsession?
