What's THIS? An update with NO STORY!?!?!?

MANDATORY ST. PATRICK'S DAY THINGY!

Courtesy O' this guy!

Now that that's outta the way!

Yes! I mean-- No! I mean-- there's no chapter update this time.

Oh, don't be like that!

I do have it. The story, I mean. Just gotta touch it up.
These past, like, six weeks have been mind-numbingly bothersome at work. People quitting, people getting fired, people just plain not showing up. I've had to pull extra shifts to pick up the slack!
We're talkin' some serious overtime here!
Seriously, some days I just wanna...

I mean, really! Is it too hard to just pick up a damn phone and call in with a simple "I can't make it tomorrow," or "I got some personal business I need to deal with." Hell, I would have taken "I don't feel good" or a simple-as-hell post-it note with a heads up!
Just something that doesn't have me scrambling all over the place like a headless chicken looking for someone to fill in your Luna damned place within Freakin' FIFTEEN MINUTES of your shift starting!

...

But this is not all bad news! I'm also here to state that the next chapter should be up before Saturday.
I'm aiming for Friday, hopefully Thursday, but you know what they say:
"Thick milk leads to thick--"
Wait.
That's not right... Oh yeah!
"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst."

Sooo yeah!

I'm still gonna subject you to the

that is my imagination!

But hey, if you guys got any opinions, any suggestions or (please for the love of Celestia!) critiques, feel free to spill them unto my "comment" holes!

Well, that'll about do it for now.
And if you managed to stick around through my little meltdown, well then thanks, I really appreciate your patience!
And if you just skipped to the end...

Once again:

-Just a dude riddled with pinch marks and bruises!
