Greetings, folks. As many of you know, I'm moving my journal to Dreamwidth. I'll keep it open for a week, in case you have any questions, but then I'll be deleting it ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still alive. I know I haven't been posting much recently, so here's the short-version update:

• New job - Yes, I have a new job. I have no idea how it's going. Ask me again in three months or so. I'm always hypercritical of myself when I first start a position, so I've decided that I'm not allowed to assess how things are going for at ( Read more... )
