No, i'm not dead yet. Michelle is taking some time away from WoW and i've been spending a LOT of time working on training the puppy - and the 4 or 5 hours i do spend on video gaming in a given week (as opposed to 40 or 50 i used to spend) is now being spent on FF12 since it's been three years i had it and until a month ago i had only logged 5h11m. I'm now up to a whopping 21h and level 24 a month later!! :p

Also, spending a fair bit of time lately with job-related stuff --- currently in 3 (soon to be 4) competitions for new jobs at different departments with the aim of getting back into tech support. As such, every time a new step in the competition comes along I dive into it until I am happy that there is nothing I can do to improve my resume/essay answers - depending on what i'm being asked for at the time. (Roughly translated that works out to be roughly 35-40 hours in the week or so that they give me - at nights/over the weekend).
