We had someone leave work recently. Everyone of course saying all these nice things about them. ‘Oh I’ll miss you.’ ‘You were so great to work with.’ Never mind the fact that not two weeks prior they were talking about how much they hated them and wish they would just leave.

And of course the person who left sent out the mass email about how great everyone was, and how they were like family and so special and wonderful. Never mind the fact that she would regularly blame anyone near by for all of her mistakes. And there were a LOT of mistakes.

And of course both sides make all these promises about how they will keep in touch and talk and hang out whenever they can. Let’s be honest, never going to happen.

As you can see, no new comic yet again.  Unfortunately last week a back injury from a car wreck several years ago decided to say hello.  It got so bad in fact, I ended up going to the emergency room on Friday night.  Interestingly the first thing they told me was don’t sit for prolonged periods of time.  This was after making me sit in the waiting room for 3 hours -.-I have medications and went to the regular doctor after.  Everything should be fine in time.  But for the moment I cannot sit for the extended period of time it takes to draw the strip.  I was hoping that by now my situation would have improved enough to begin working on the strip again.  Nope  Even next week may be too soon.

I am taking measures to change my life style enough so that my sciatica won’t interrupt everything like this in the future.  I am actually going to have to get up from the computer from time to time.  The things we have to do to try and stay healthy.

In the mean time you can get a giggle imagining me move around.  I look like some 200 year old man shuffling around.  Or that classic movie walk after someone has had an enema  or something. Good times.

There was no new comic Friday and will not probably be on Tuesday due to illness.  I actually spent a good portion of the day on Friday in the Emergency Room.  Currently dealing with some back issues that should be resolved by the end of the week and then I can hopefully get everything back on schedule.  Apologies for any inconvenience.

Some of the additions to the site are temporarily on hold awaiting the new computer.  My current comp is crashing so much right now it hinders getting much accomplished.  There has been a few days that I have really thought about putting the whole comic on hold.  Some things that should take an hour are taking 3 to 5 hours.  And after the first hour my frustration level grows exponentially.  First week of waiting for the new computer is over.  Only four more weeks to go.  Sigh.   

Oh yah, the new computer.  Well I use Macintosh (let the flaming begin)  so I ordered the new release. A Mac Pro with tow 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeons and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT w/ 512MB of VRAM.  My current computer is almost 7 years old so the speed increase is going to be HUGE.  It should help to eliminate a lot of my lag issues in Warcraft too.  Of course it will probably take about a week to install all the software and updates.  Should be fun though.

Merry Christmas everyone!  Hope you got all the toys you wanted this year.As a small gift to you readers I have provided you with a little wallpaper to decorate your desktop.

I really feel like things are starting to come together for this little site of mine.  I logged on to post today’s strip and I had a very nice comment left behind and I had my first spam comments.  My site has enough presence to get spam now.  Yep shedding a little tear. :P
