I got a job yesterday. Ah!! Finally, years of toiling in college has finally paid off.

That's awesome! What kind of job?

Anyone else get the feeling when you open the door to your front porch? And there's a package? And when you open it, there's a copy of Arcanum Unbounded in it? It's an amazing feeling. On the day after Thanksgiving, I'd like to say I'm thankful for the Shard. I'm thankful for the awesome community all of us have helped build. And I'm thankful for Brandon's amazing books, something we can all get behind. 

But most of all, I'm thankful for two-day shipping. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go finish Edgedancer.

It is an IT (Information Technology) job.

My work is finally offering a pension scheme.

I suspect they are trying to bribe the staff into not leaving.

At least they've realized that they're kind of giving their employees a raw deal and trying to fix it. Maybe it's not enough, but at least they're trying, I suppose.

I had the same experience, except I didn't order it myself. Apparently a friend decided to send it to me as a belated birthday present. I then proceeded to read it as much as possible for the next day and a half. It was amazing, and probably one of the best presents I have ever received.

So...there's a new baby in my house. That's a thing that happened.

If his nickname isn't Steelslayer I will be very disappointed.

 Maybe he got the boyfriend because of the nice bootlaces.  

[marsoupial they/them]

Well, I got the bootlaces because my boots were in need of a little tlc. I got the boyfriend out of sheer luck, I assume.

A couple months ago  my favorite podcast issued a challenge to write a good pokemon creepypasta (The person who issued the challenge was of the opinion that it was impossible)

I of course entered.

Today the winners were announced.

I wasnt one of them.

But I was the first honorable mention, so I'm happy.

[Briar King]

Whoop whoop. I got FF15 today! Yes I'm a 36 yr old geek.
