I thought I may as well explain why I have dropped off the face of RPM and into the Platypus Nebula. The short answer is that I am moving to Calgary (the "big" city) in the beginning of November and I have been job hunting for the past few weeks. Personally, I would like find work as a library assistant, or even a copy writer/editor since I have a Bachelor of Arts in English, but I will take anything that will help me get established. The good news is that I have been contacted by three of the employers I applied to, one of them being the country's foremost chain of bookstores. Though the main drag is that it would be a 45 minute commute between the place I will be living in and the mall where said bookstore is via public transit.
Also, I was wondering how long transit times are in NYC for the sake of comparison.
Anyway, I am feeling a bit anxious because I have taken a long time to leave the nest yet a bit excited at the same time. My life had gotten into a bit of a rut lately and I think I need to take this step. It will probably be a rough transition and my online life will probably take a hit. I will likely need to put hobbies like comic books and video games aside until I can find some equilibrium. At least I will be rooming with a friend and two of his friends and my sister lives in Calgary, as do two of my cousins, so I still have a support system in place. I should be fine.
tl;dr version: I am going through a few life changes now.
