I know I haven't been around, I just got finished working the dreaded day shift while cross-training for another department. Finally I am back on nights, though it will take me a little bit to get really used to the sleep change again. It was rough . . . you don't realize how much you depend on some people as part of your day to day life until you can't see them because of scheduling.
I'm on the initial testing group of a new software program for work . . . one that is going to effectively make my department obsolite. None of us will lose our jobs - they'll just merge us to other departments, including the one I just trained for - but it will likely FINALLY mean that when the program is done I can post into tech support or product compliance since I'll know more about the program than even the management. It'll be SO nice to actually have a shot at something I'd actually like to do.
We're about a year away from the rescheduled, revamped "road trip". A few folks might remember that the original version was for wolfmonkey and I to visit red in Cali, then the two of us drive to South Dakota (a la the "Road Trip" pic). That quickly changed into Red joining us for the whole trip, but he recently moved; now, the plan is for us to meet Red in Louisiana and hang there for a few days, then drive to Orlando and do The World. Now we may be adding a fourth to the pack, but scheduling and other factors are an issue so right now it is just a very hopeful thing. *keeps fingers crossed with a big grin*
I did a lot of work on Tensik today, but nothing worth posting. Little stuff, like adding footstraps so the legs don't ride up, fixing some seams, and removing the mane that was attached to the suit itself (to either be recycled on the head or on the tail tuft). Right now I need to finish his shorts, buy him a new shirt (his is too big), get him a belt, fill in the undermane on the head (he's got gaps around the shoulders), and fix his feet and see how they work. His "debut" is at ZooBoo here in town, an outdoor trick or treating event. The nice thing is it is in the evening, and outside, so I can test him out for a full hour or more and not get overheated. Yay!
I'll put up the next gift artist soon, I just have to get his permission next (I have to delay who I was going to do next, some other factors got involved).
MFF in a month, should be interesting! :D

MOO! *smiles big to hear from you*
I *would* say that the year before the trip can't go fast enough- but we all know just how fast it *will* go! XD And here's hoping for a fourth to the line-up! :D
I lost 2 years ago, It's good to see you resurfaced.
*Rabbit takes bite of 2 year old tuna fish sandwhich with mold on it, and rabbit's face starts to turn green, then after a moment, bunny falls backwards "timber" style flat on his rabbit back*
"Good stuff", the rabbit mumbles, as the approaching
paramedic's siren is heard off in the distance. ^.^
