Oh wait, Did you take that issue with the members who can't get on to the support forum? Since the updates recently things are a smidge off. Kilsek was having issues getting on The Realm for days as well. You should tryn have the techs look into it on the SF hun. I bet it's a glitch somewhere.

i did post it in the support forum, screen shot in all

no relpy - i guess i'll bump the topic (prob get lock'd ) LOL

haha. Silly. No, I doubt they'd lock it. I'll go bump it about Kisek's issue here as well then hun. I hope they can figure out what this issue is because this isn't the 1st time Kil's had this problem here before either.

ok, im also trying to geta screen cap of him not being able to access forumotion.com

To Bad Wolf,

Dedicated a song to you, hopefully to help you get over Thurs/Fridays problems.

have a cup of coffee and a listen.

hi put kettle on

**drinking the starbucks this morn**

doing so so ** weekend was great // now i gota face the week **uggg**

i am way behind on CSS request (for DarkFX) due to my busy work sched and RL commitments

other than that *

* makes a fresh pot of Java for everyone *

Uugh, I hate Mondays as well Jaq. You know, I bet if they changed payday's to Monday instead it may change the whole dreaded back to work Mundain Monday issues I know soo many people have, myslef included.

Woof! I hear that hunni, Work & RL tend to keep us so occupied I to have let alot of things slip off at the Realm from time to time, you know? But it's all good. I'm sure you will get all done in time. Its just the pressure of feeling so rushed by deadline an such that make me anxious some time. Just take a deep breath and know it will get done soon. And look at it this way. we're only 4 more days away fromt the weekend again..

It's almost 10:AM here and I still haven't had my morning coffee boost yet.

* helps myself to a cup*

* Yawns* I sure hope Daniel comes back soon. Where is my Super Mod?

my spouse quit her job, which has a negative impact on my job (im being "reassigned") in corporate america that means - demoted * o well, it was fun to play programmer while it lasted .. back to "hello my name is ..."

/

she's not going back to work anytime soon * she left due to medical reasons
its effects me, due to the fact that now im responsible for the transportation of the kiddos to and rom skool (which is right by my office)
problem is i need a static shift (8:15am - 4:45pm) * apparently im not as cruial or important to this project as i thought i was.

we have what is called FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) so it protects my employment in the event i have to leave work or cant come in etc .. due to her condition, but apparently, this is not conductive to businesss needs to the project - and well * like i said * guess im not so important as i thought i was to the project oO

so they simply "reassigned" / demoted me back to what i was orig hired as (2yrs ago) - "hello my name is.. " Crying or Very sad

they're givin me 2weeks (go figure) to transition out (im not stupid, they still need me to finish programing in the new accounts we have comming in on 10MAR)

i get to keep my pay * so thats all good, but, its just very sadning and almost personal * but thats corporate america * its not personal * its business * (but its because of my personal issues) *

OMFG Jaq. Wow, what the hell! Aww thats so funked hunni. Gosh I'm sorry to hear that. Wow your just getting short changed all over the place lately love. I would be so mad at my job. God how could they just do that hun? So this means all kinds of changes again for you now. I'm so sorry Jaq. It has got to get better soon hun

So what is it that you want to do? Will you stay at your old position now? Can't you apply for programmer positions elsewhere if you chose now, since you have the experience? Aww , I'm so sorry you have all this pressure on you from all angles Jaq.

I could look to rePost with in the company
but due to my wife no longer working (and the fact it takes a year in employment to qualify for FMLA)

so to keep my FMLA, i have to stick with the same comp * trust me im looking, but honestly * i have no degree in this, just experience ... i dunno (my soul is just dying inside every day i come into work)

Aww I'm so sorry Sweety. I hope and pray you find a way to pull threw this. It's could only get better, right? And your birthday is coming up soon too correct? I'm sure things will start looking up soon love.

I too have been stressing lately over various issues in my life right now. I needed a break to regroup and take some time to work things out, ya know? We just gotta stay positive and believe everything will work out as it should in the end babes.

... now // she (my spouse) has to use my(our) home PC for her work and what not
a few weeks ago she ( No Swearing ) up my system systing beyond beleif
as i told Soundwave and Gor - i kitbashed my G1 soundwave into a working Ipod shuffle(1gb) and had my PC running/leeching off its virtual memory

well my chica decides to plug her iPod shuffle in at the same time which initially causes no issues. Now when i go to plug in my flash drive(all my work that i keep on RDD, DarkFX etc) now .. its just corrupt * over half the files/folders cannot be opened * it doesnt reconize .CSS or .IBF or any of ther file type, half my .JPG images are no longer readble

it looks as if my entire drive has to be reformated (which not cool as it contains most of my DarkFX site and RPG scripts from the last 4+ years O.O ! )

and its not my PC anymore - she took it over (even my Tardis)
her words not mine ("i bought that not just for you, but becuz i as tired of reaching around to the back of the comp to plug in a usb device")

she has no faith in my computer skillz - none whats so ever * i test my drive at work
and Slag it ! * over half the files, images, scripts were either unaccesable or just gibberish (like opening a Flash file in notepad < ShadowDragon understands)

even did a disk clean up at home, virus sweep/clean * nope all clear
but - couldnt even de-frag the drive

so * i did the only sensable thing i could do * smashed it with hammer

* Slag It ! *

OMG girly, you did not smash it with a hammer! Holy crap hun, Geez when it rains it pours stress management eh? Well that can't be the end all of all , can it?There hasta be a way to get ur files back now. Uuugh thats so horrible sweety. I'm so sorry.

*sigh* yes, everything can be restored * i dont call my self the Digital Alchemist for nothing ... i just have to just go back out to my various online databases and recollect it.

but -* now * i dont have a PC to use, with my spouse taking over (our) pc at home, im S.O.L

so * i can do some stuff from work, but not much longer (as i'm being reassigned soon) so * F*IT
my site is still up and i guess, i'll get back to programing when i do

Dang Jaq. Gosh that just sucks. I would so be repossessing the the home computer at least till you can get everything back, she's just gotta understand. I'd beg, really. I couldn't live without my internet space. Not for any extended period of time without losing my marbles completely.

I can't tell you how many times I have destroyed equipment .Xbox's Playstation's, Game controllers, my old desktop computer I wanted to take out back and shoot it due to fits of misguided anger myself hun. lol Only to have to replace it anyway later

I feel so bad all this stuff keeps coming at you from all ends Hun I truly hope you can get everything worked out and back on track again Jaq. It may just take a lil bit longer then expected to smooth things out.

It has GOT to get better babes. * hands you a beer *

* grabs a quick cup of coffee*

I'm so hyper today guys * dances around my room *

I'm contemplating rain today and yet its so beautiful out. I cant wait to go out after the rain and take some pictures for a deviant art contest of some cool nature pic's

I find the rain so soothing sometimes.

I just have this strange feeling that some how ~ today is gonna be a great day! * goes back to Dancing around *

todays not been so bad. lots of conference calls
counting the days down till my Bday and VAC *yeah!**
3+ to go

On a course yesterday, everyone was moaning that they only had decaff. coffee.

But no-one got off their behinds to go & buy some regular coffee, so if you're not prepared to do something about it, you should shut up & stop moaning.

I drank tea or water.

Not big on sympathy!

woke up an 1hr 15min late **uugg***
managed to get up and get the kiddos and me in on time **wheeww**

well got the coffee going .. already running since i came in (8:15am CST)
this DST is really messing me up

ugg

I don't need DST to be screwed

I get up early because I got to take little sister to school on the way to Uni. As I'm drinking my first (cafinated) coffee, my mom comes in the kitchen and says she'll take my sister because she's got to go there anyway

With the cafeine fresh in my blood what else can I do but start working? >.<

Try working nights & then altering back to days on your off-duty.

That takes some adjusting.

I just started to drink coffee this week, since coming here to Sweden.

I have never been a coffee drinker. Love the smell but not the taste. Then about a month before we left for Sweden, my daughter introduced me to flavored creamers. YUM!!!! I love it!

When I got here to Sweden, they didn't have it!

But Tuesday I found a small little coffee/tea store that had flavored syrups to go in the coffee. woohoooo It tastes just like the creamer when I add milk to it! YAY!

Oooh flavored creamers are so yum Skittles. I never really tried them before either. But my MIL brings such yummy flavors when she comes to visit the family here.
