So. They started by putting me on five-day work weeks. Okay, fair enough, small potatoes, some closing nights and some pre-closing nights. I can deal. But then we got hit with staffing issues yet again, forcing the lobby to be closed. Now, we had already been hit with such earlier this year, got new people, and big surprise, the new peeps didn't wanna put in the time and effort, either (except for one; he's cool.)

Well, reflecting as the ball dropped, it's certainly been a wild ride. Laughs, tears, tragedies and triumphs... and pandemics, we can't forget that fun bit. And with the close comes the ninth anniversary of me being here on Fimfiction. I want to open a champagne, but I don't have one. For once, I've nothing particularly profound to say, except I'm in this for the long haul now.

I has snow on my end, slowly melting in 24F weather because the sun's out. I got some neat gifts, and Dad and Raven appreciated the gifts I got them (also, ow, my wallet), and I like what I got this year~ How're you guys doing?

So it's my birthday now, and I have already received some birthday presents! Drinking the morning caffeine right now; Mammaw's coming to bring me more gifts and to take me to McKay's and a restaurant of my choice. I have no cake yet, but that may change.

I learned they're hooking a SISEA bill to an important economy thing that'll screw the economy harder if it gets blocked. What is SISEA, you might ask? Think SOPA, PIPPA, but apply that to all porn. From what I have gathered, the chucklefucks worded it juuuuuuuuust vaguely enough that it could potentially be a blanket to all pornography, and may even apply it as such. Oh, and this thing is also unconstitutional as fuck, so we need to call our Senators and tell them we don't want SISEA to

So, a few days away from my birthday, after my sister moved out and whatnot. I have little money: just enough to get dogfood today and maybe some breakfast sausages (been hankering those things lately, damn expenses...)

As the title says. As for me, I'm not sure if I'll have guests over this year, but the feast is still being made all the same. Also, I just woke up. So what are you guys gonna do for Turkey Day?

My sister seeks to move back in with biomom, who managed to recover enough from her insanity to separate me and her from her own petty grudges. With that, though, money's gonna be tiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I won't specify details, but let's just say I'm gonna have to have a solid handle on my spending habits for the foreseeable future. I'm even encouraging a few people to ride my ass to keep the recklessness at bay.

Why belated? I was invited to a Halloween wedding, and I actually managed to go without screwing my work schedule up. Who got married? My cousin Sammy, to a man who came dressed as a plague doctor complete with fancy cravats and mask. The wedding wasn't traditional; no white dresses or anything, but rather burning of effigies to cement "through fire we have become one" or something like that.

It was still celebrated nonetheless.
