a goodbye - sort of

[percival]

Ever since I started my LJ, I've been pretty good with posting regularly - except when on holiday or away on business. I've also tried to read the whole of my friends page and keep up with everybody.

This was partly possible because I could sneak in a sum total of one hour of LJ at WORX - often more.

This habit has to stop. First, because I'm doing more interesting work now, secondly, because I really feel bad for my company - they should get some more quality hours from me. They really need my work, but they don't have much of a clue about
a) the amount of work that needs to be done until the end of the year
b) how they will schedule it
c) who will do it
I keep pointing things out to them and helping them with their planning, but I effectively shoot myself in the foot with this, because I am too nice, too helpful, too forthcoming.
Ah well, all that remains to be done is to work cheerfully and efficiently ...

From now on, I will probably update & check LJ 3-4 times a week. I will be behind with journals, and not comment as much as I used to. I will keep up the Linguistics filter - I'm busy preparing the post with all the pointers, but first, I need to finish The Overdue Really Interesting Report From Hell.

Meep!

Well, we'll miss you, m'dear - as you say, though, you'll still be around...

I hope work manages to conclude neatly for you, and that the move to pastures new goes well.

*HUGS* to you, and good luck.

I know how that is. I feel like I can't do too much looking at work because I'm only part-time, and I really have lots to do. It's really good, though, to have intersting work.

Hah! You will still be a lot better than some. I will not say even a 'sorta goodbye' to you, but I will say, enjoy life and work!

Aww.

I am sad that I won't be hearing as much from you, but I understand. I won't say goodbye, though -- how about "see you later"? :)

Good luck! It's good to know we'll still see you around.

Interesting work is good :) And as you said, you'll still be updating more than once a week, so it's hardly a goodbye.

Hello comrade!

Yeah, LJ is so much fun but I think you'll feel better if you limit your time. (I can say this because I know you'll still make time for me. :P )

Seriously, some days I stopped myself from even turning on the computer and I was so pleased at how much I got accomplished during the evenings. I miss everyone here but it's a give and take.

Speaking of linguistics... guess what language class I just signed up for?? :-))) (The hint is in the subject)

Russian!

And yes, I will always have time for you, luv.

Did you get my e-mail with the mutterings about Texas?

Re: Hello comrade!

[piperx.livejournal.com]

Yes, I owe you an e-mail back. Should have time this evening (TGIF!).

I'll be at home today from 4pm British time, and I'll be awake until 10pm British time
