The Lair of The Dark Knight

Today is turning out to be wonderfully long</sarcasm>. I'm looking forward to getting home to my nice warm bed. ^.^

In other news I've been thinking about something that I discussed with Cheetah on the last day of RBW. I've already spoken to CaliHusky about it but I also want to speak to Miyabi, Kittiah, and Tryst about it too.

Tomorrow I'm probably gonna be at home all day, so I'll take advantage of the time to play around with Traktor Pro some. I might have a new test mix to upload too.

Speaking of mixes, did anybody listen to the one I uploaded the other day? :P

Just woke up to get ready for work. As usual with my weekend day shift I'm working 8am until 8pm.

In an hour I'll have finished yet another two weeks of work, which means that today is the start of one week of non-work. :)

For this week r4nger5 and I have planned to finish off Episode One of R4nger5 TV, do some geeky/techy stuff, and I'm possibly going to do some shopping for when I move out into my new place.

I'd also like to provide some updates to a few things (mostly because working 12hr shifts kinda fries my short-term memory x_x); damonblackpaw and I have been talking and we've decided that he's gonna move to the UK on the 21st of August, not the 1st of September as originally planned. This means that we'll both be flying from Manchester Airport to EF. :)

Also, Damon and I have set a day for the registration of our civil union; the 18th October (Saturday). I'll be sending out invitations sooner or later (but definitely before EF). We're both hoping that Damon's parents will be able to come over for it; and my parents (Mum and step-Dad, Dad and step-Mum) will be there too.
All in all it will be a small affair and we're hoping to get registered in the same place where we will have the reception. :)

Finally I'm going to open up the floor here. If you would like to come to the reception (and can make it) on the 18th October then either send me an email or leave a comment here. Please don't tell me on IM as I'll probably forget; emails or comments are best. :)

Oh man, where does time go?

Work
Generally things are going OK. Working OOH is good. As expected I'm really not in the mood to do anything whilst I'm working, which is only understandable considering the 12hr shifts. The weeks off (one out of every three) are a $DEITY send; I've really been able to crack on with stuff during them.

For example: r4nger5 and I have been able to get the pilot episode of R4nger5 TV done and online. We haven't got as much feedback as we had expected but I suppose that's not surprising consider that it is a pilot.

Fursuiting

$DEITY'S-SON, I really want to go fursuiting. The last two times I've been fursuiting this year have been the LF meet at the end of March and when frost_t_wolf and shivonhusky came over. Fursuiting nao plz. XD
Ah well, CF is just around the corner. :)

Music

Skindred has been filling my ears with awesome recently. <3

London

I am so missing the LondonFurs furmeets. I really wish I could go, but every single LF meet falls on a day when I am working, and with ConFuzzled and EuroFurence taking up my holiday allowance for the rest of the year I can see it being next year when I get to attend an LF meet.

Does anyone know if there's anything planned to happen with furs in London that falls on the weekend before the tri-weekly meets?

PnP RPGs

I really want to get into running a weekly Pen and Paper RPG once I move into my own place in Leeds, but I'm actually having trouble finding a group to join. I probably just need to find a group of people I can game comfortably with and just invite them over. Or maybe something can be done via Skype... *ponderponder*

Damon

OMG Damon's moving soon! *dance* ^_^

And that's it for this post really.

I've almost finished my last four night-shifts of my shift rotation and now I have a week off to recuperate for when the rotation starts again. :)

Today I'm going to be relaxing and tomorrow thru Thursday I'll be doing some spring cleaning, then a little more relaxation (with some Blender¹ and WoWage).

¹ - I decided to play around with Blender tonight. I'll make a post with the outcome later on today.

Just wanted to mention that if you want to IM me at work then it'll have to be via MSN as it's the only messenger I can get on.

Having said that I'll probably be busy, but I will get back to you when I can. XD

My MSN id is on my userinfo page.

Today's my last day on my current contract, as on Monday I'll be starting on the Out of Hours team.

I'll be starting there at 6:30pm on Monday (14th April). You can find more details about my shift rotas here (HTML, iCal, and XML format).

This means that Sunday night/morning will most consist of me staying up until stupid o'clock to get into the sleeping pattern. ;)

Firstly, my shift rota (starts 14th April 2008):   

Oh crap.

Assuming that I've got my shift rota for OOH right (should be the same as V's), I'm actually going to be bloody working when ConFuzzled and EuroFurence roll around. Cock shit.

Surprisingly enough I'll actually be off work when RBW takes place. At least I don't have one con to worry about.

No don't worry, I'm going to be trying my hardest to at least get CF off of work. I'll see about working someone else's shift for a week to offset taking off a couple in one go. However EF might be more difficult; I may have to conceed on the awesome road trip and take a plane instead. Shema, I'll let you know as soon as I can as to whether I'm OK with the dates or not.

Hopefully things won't be too bad. I only hope that FC doesn't fall on some of my work days too.

Ah well, work is work. I'll work something out.

EDIT: Oh, I also need to mention this too. Due to the recursive three week nature of the LondonFur meets the fall smack bang on the weekends which I work. Sucks, I know.

So this means that the next LondonFur meet will be my last one for the foreseeable future. Sorry folks. :/

Remember that interview I went to? Well I've got a follow-on interview tomorrow where I shall find out whether I have the job or not. :$

Expect an update between 4pm and 5pm (1600-1700 GMT) tomorrow.

Or not so, as the case may be.

I only went and bought a shirt that was one size too small. Cue me walking around work wearing a very tight shirt. x_x

Interview for the Out of Hours job starts in 10 minutes. One is shitting bricks. o.o
