I would just like to offer a warning that my phone's service has gone inactive, which for at least tomorrow will limit me more then I was previously. I will only have the morning before work to 9:45 AM to 10:00 AM and after I get home after 9:00 PM.

I'm going to see about getting that up and running again by Monday, so that I have data I can use that to make posts more often. Still without a working PC or laptop, yet I'm also hoping to get that fixed as well. Money's going to be a bit tight until after my first paycheck of November, but by then things should be going much smoother.

Introduction Thomaslee

Just to give you all an idea of what happened yesterday and why I wasn't able to post, it was not for any of the regular reasons. Though I still apologize for the absence nonetheless.

You see normally I would have about an hour or two before work that I could try making a few posts, as well as about 30 minutes right before my shift begins in the HR office. Then, if that failed, I could always see about making my post when I get home.

Yesterday though, my ride had to go to a dentist appointment instead of going to work. I didn't get their email until an hour after they sent it, because that is when I woke up, so I had to scramble just get ready and get onto the bus.

Even that wouldn't be too much of an issue, if it wasn't for the fact I have to wait until Tuesday to get my phone up and running again to making posts during the trip. Yet, to make matters worse was the fact that I was unfamiliar with the bus times or route I need to take for Saturday and couldn't look it up on my phone, I actually was over an hour late for work.

Then, my stress already at high levels, I had to deal with my third day of Open Enrollment or OEP which meant that I barely had a few seconds in between calls. Also, one of the buses I take as part of my route didn't run after I got off work on Saturdays, so after waiting 20 minutes before finding this out… I had to ask for someone drop me off at the TRAX station just so I can get home.

Then, because of all this, I really just wanted to go to bed when I got home because of how dressed I way. I will be making it up for it today, and catching up on the posts that I've missed.

Better still, Sunday is a day off.

I'm going to be busy most of the day because of it being the Thanksgiving holiday, hope everyone else is able to spend dinner with family or friends.

As a word of warning for the coming week, I'm going to be working an extra 2 hours each day apart from Monday. This meaning I'll have 10 hour shifts, plus a mandatory extra day, for the last week of OEP (Open Enrollment Period) for the Health Insurance Marketplace.

This will mean a lot of overtime, with a lot of extra pay, but not nearly as much time to be here on International Discussions. I will still try to keep up with posting as much as possible, though I'll expect to be quite drained at the end of the day.

Introduction Thomaslee

I was hit pretty hard with the lack of sleep I had during the last week because of my overtime. Things will get better, and my apologizes for the last couple of days. I admittedly also had a family Christmas Party to go yesterday and when I got home I really didn't have much energy left.

Thomaslee Introduction

I'm going to be mostly unavailable this Christmas weekend. I'm staying with my father, stepmother, and brothers with only my phone.

I will still keep an eye on things, and jump on when it looks like I need to or am able to but I likely won't be able to do much posting the next two days.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, or whichever holiday you celebrate this time of year. Whether with a baby in a manger, the big gift giver in red, or even Hanukkah. Whatever it may be, I hope it is with families and friends.

Good night!

The stress and changes at work, as well as my lack of sleep, and general frustrations to concentrate I'm making any posts for the roleplays I am a part of are the big reasons why I have not been around.

Your job causes you to miss sleep or you just have problems sleeping? Maybe you need a little time management.
