I'm Back at Work, But...And Then Pastrami!
4 years ago
On January 12th I made my return to work, after needing a new doctor's note and getting checked back into the personnel roster.
Then the "fun" began.
Because I was out for so long all of my accesses were taken away from me because I was 'dead', to the tech support people anyway.
No....I struggled for 10 weeks to get back to this place...I can assure you I'm not dead.
Getting accesses back to be able to actually do my job has been an exercise in frustration...last Thursday I was actually able to help people out again, and then my access got switched over to a client I'm not authorized to even look at, much less help. Problem was compounded by the fact that this took away ALL my other accesses. My boss is working on figuring out what the Hell happened, because it hasn't happened before. Lucky Me.
On the bright side, I celebrated my return by ordering some great Kosher Deli and Knishes and inviting a few people over for a feast...that went pretty well, and had enough leftovers to bring in for coworkers....there will be plans for a dozen of us to go in on getting another MeatBox and Knish Feast going.
I've been continuing to poke at writing and gaming preps as I work through the job stresses...it's the stress that's slowed me down a bit, but I'm still moving forward. Actually, I'm moving quicker than expected because Hell Month has not been as bad as many previous years, so that has been a plus.
It's good to have a routine again, even if it's not completely on pace quite yet...it's a lot better than having my days mean nothing and the weekends just be something that exists. It's funny when you work the week, the weekend means a lot more and you tend to cherish them and get motivated to get the things you want to accomplish done.
Anyhoo...winding down for the night and do some dreaming...got Kobolds and Serpent Sapiens on the brain this week, and also a Vishkanya Noblewoman who has become a detective...there's probably a dragon or two flitting about in there too. It's pretty scaled up.
Everyone, be safe, stay awesome.

Good luck getting the accesses all sorted out!
But hey, nothing that can't be fixed.
