Great cats, my last post here was three years ago

I have occasionally been thinking it'd be nice to have a blog with reasonable privacy controls again. Not necessary, but nice. Sadly, keeping up with more than two social media platforms at once seems to be beyond me, and Facebook is useful for my local community & music friends and tumblr is where lots of people are and it's just so *easy*, so I've been scarce.

But it really is a good idea. I mean, I'd like to have the interface be less eye-searingly lilac, but the concept is sound.

So, uh, if anyone's still following me (or have me on your read feed or whatever the heck the cool kids are calling it these days) here's what's been going on:

• It turns out I have an autoiummune disorder called Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (exciting?) which lead to months of fatigue (totally not exciting)
• I had lots of tests and started some meds and eventually the symptoms got way better (exciting!)
• There was a Hell Meeting at work during which I was bullied by the HR manager and the prime Smug Condescending Asshat with the cooperation of the big Director, permanently ending any desire I had to stick around and try for my boss's job (exciting in a negative way)
• I finished up outside work on the house and got off the permit (exciting in a positive way!)
• I applied for a new job a week ago, had an interview this week, and finished up a post-interview homework-assignment today, so we're into fingers crossed tense-waiting time (EXCITING?!?!)

Chime in before this account goes kaput!

I'm moving everything here over to dreamwidth, if that function will just start working, and then I'll delete it. Please chime in here with your user name over there! I'm ShadesOfMauve.
