To be the bearer ( Sp? I don't know- ) of bad news. It's actually bitter-sweet to be completely honest, and as bitter as it is sweet.
A family reunion trip of mine got ruined a month or so back, leaving my mother heart-broken because I was supposed to fly in for it. I haven't seen her in years, she misses me dearly and I nearly broke down hearing how devastated she was when I said I couldn't make it. Perhaps that's where Vulcan gets his drive to never let another down-- I house it as well. So it kills me and excites me to say this time I got my shit together, and I'll be flying in to surprise my mother near the end of July. She has no idea, I've lied to her about how much money I set aside so she thinks I'm stuck in this state for another few months, when in all actuality I'll be holding her in my arms in a little over a month.
But what does that mean for Intrepidus?
I won't be online, period. And it pains me to type this, but it's the truth. I have too many other family members and friends to surprise, I know it'll be even more so a struggle to log in during my trip than it is now with my timezone and work hours. I've only ever missed one day in this pack, and my trip will last basically a week. Seven solid days of no interaction with you guys-- it's killin' me already. But sometimes you have to let go to hold on, and I know ya'll can survive without me.

I'll be gone from July 22-July28
No promises on the exact day I'll log in again, but for those ^ days do /not/ expect to see me on. I will indeed let Steen know if I landed safely, and if I don't have the time to post as such here, I'll ask him to tell you all.
And thankfully I was not promoted. A few people from my job that quit a year or so back have returned, and they were given the promotion. My hours won't get any worse than they once were, so I'll be comfortably active.
Cheers, Intrepidus.
