    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

At least I'm getting a tiny bit of writing done. And I might be having some luck with househunting. Big might on that one, though.

Jesus. I'm so sorry, Echo.

Here's hoping that you get a breakthrough, especially on house hunting.

Nothing to be done about it, unfortunately. The trouble is that I'm feeling less like the job is forcing me to bend over backward, and more like I'm being forced to bend over in the other direction. If you get what I mean.

The house hunting, however, is at least going in the right direction.

I'm sorry life remains so insistent on throwing you curveballs. I really hope things improve soon on that front.

I understand it seems difficult from the way you put it, but I hope you somehow get lucky and it doesn't take that long for your store to get that new supervisor. And more importantly, I hope others at your workplace take it easy on you in the meantime, because you sure as heck both need it and deserve it.

That said, I'm glad at least the house hunting is going in the right direction. Wishing you the best of lucks on that front.

As always, keeping my fingers crossed, and take care. :)

Me too. Management, at least, is sympathetic. I just wish that the customers were sympathetic.

As for the house hunting...well, I fear that I'm being overly optimistic. I went to look at a place yesterday, and it seemed like a good choice, but alas, there were issues. Still, at least I'm taking steps in the right direction, right?

Hang in there, my friend.

Thanks. The housing situation, at least, is looking up.
