I got back from Connecticut earlier today after FurPoc 2015, ready for a nap and bedbug-free. As far as a brief report goes, the con itself was a fantastic time. From a short but fun surprise party for Teddy on Thursday, to a couple slapstick tutorials for a friend on Friday, to room hopping and lots of take-out and alcohol with all sorts of folks on Saturday. Sunday I barely left the Super 8 since most of the con had wound down and I wanted to enjoy the private space, and today I drove home at 80-90 MPH on average because the MassPike is awesome to cruise down.

Seeing people I hadn't seen since ANE was a real treat. I love all those guys and it's rare we get to actually hang. Even if it was in passing, if we saw one another I've got nothing but love for y'all. I was mega reclusive this con but thanks to those who forced me to come out. You did me a big favor. <3

Right now I'm gearing up to start a new job the week after I get back from MFF. It's gonna be a rough start, since they wanted me to come in the week of the con, but we managed to work it out. I'll be working in an investment advisory agency as a shareholder correspondent to start, which is a fancy way of saying I'll be doing routine customer service and recordkeeping. Not the most fun job, but it'll pay well and they're interested in bringing me on full time after my temp stint, which is amazing.

Otherwise I'm looking for stuff to fill the gap during November, playing a ton of Splatoon and cutting back on commissions and snacks to save up for bigger life purchases. With all the cons happening I gotta be a bit more frugal, but it's all for good reason. Overall I'm in a really good place and couldn't be happier.

And once again, if you read all that, I appreciate you taking the time to check in. As bad as this website can be I'm still thankful for it. If any of y'all ever need anything, don't be a stranger. And know I'm way more active on Twitter: mainmandarin. Telegram is also a thing if that's your bag, and you can even shoot me a note as need be. I'm here if anyone needs me for anything. That's how it goes.

Now if you'll excuse me, some terf needs inking.
