((Hey, everybody!
So, as it turns out, I'm switching to a Three-Swing, Two-Grave schedule starting next week. That means, my schedule for CoX will be changing a fair bit to accommodate. However, this isn't the chief reason I'm posting.
I'm on here too much. -Way- too much. Like, I pour all of my free time into gaming. It's taking a toll on me. It's busting up my relationship at home - she's a gamer, too, but not quite to the degree I am - and it's kind of making me lazy. As a result, while I'm not bailing on the game entirely or flaking out of Sigma, I DO need to start regulating my time a hell of a lot better between home, work, future planning, career-prep and gaming, or I run the risk of becoming one of those people you see on Dateline who live to game and game to live. Stupid genetic predisposition to addiction.
In short, while I'm not bailing out entirely, I will be around a fair bit less, and I apologize to everyone for anybody this may inconvenience, bother, frustrate or annoy. I'm still gonna 'slot' Wednesday night to be on for sure, but, until I get my shit together a bit better and stop being a big ol' introverted loner freakjob, I'm gonna have to dial it down a peg.
I'll still be on the blog here, and my e-mail's always open, and if we can schedule stuff here and there, it won't be so bad, and I can get my life back in order, which is the goal here.
Again, sorry, everyone. When I grow up, I'll be stable. Heh.

(( Awww, we'll miss having you around, to be sure; but I can understand entirely the motivavtions. I don't know how many nights I've had to force myself to go to bed, lest I start showing up to work a zombie, or had to flee before my fiancee started the, "You like that game more then you like me," speech. I'll continue to watch the skies for ya', though, for those wonderful chances to RP ))
((That's almost bang-on the speech I got from my SO, the irony being that we originally bought the damn thing because we wanted something we could do together, other than our Tabletop stuff. The chief disconnect, of course, is play style; I'm fairly casual about leveling, and while she's a roleplayer, too, she's also a grinder.
Que Sera, Sera. We're working on things, though, and that's gonna mean either less time in-game, or more time on alts. Either way, it means absence from Sigma, which is the kind of thing I feel obligated to mention, since I've wrapped people up in storylines and whatnot.
The sympathy and understanding is deeply appreciated!))
(( wow. I guess we're all feeling the pressure. I too have to make sure and get to sleep at least 4 nights a week... 4x11 shifts are a bear! ... and yes, the SO is rather miffed that I spend more time with the comp than they get. Plus I'm an altoholic... and Ali and Dia are NOT my mains! So I've storylines growing cold and other players bitching too! ))
((Nobody here will begrudge or not understand. All the best with working it out and we'll see you in game at some point, just like today.
Best of luck!))
