Sorry for not being around much the last couple of weeks, and not posting or commenting on any of your blogs! I do have some good reasons for being around so much they are mostly work related sadly. For the past couple of weeks my work schedule has been well... rather different than what I have been accustomed to. Instead of me having to come in at 5am and getting the restaurant open, I have been working a lot of shifts where a don't come in until like maybe 8am or even as late as 11am on some days! Now don't get me wrong I love the fact that I get to sleep in for a change and not have to deal with the breakfast rush as much. The problem is that I have been having to work until 5pm if not later on some nights which just sucks! It's even worse when I don't get off until 8pm ish and have to turn around and be back to work at 8am the next day. Which means that by the time I get home all I want to do is maybe get something to eat and then curl up and go to bed! These later work shifts mess up with the time I usually spent here, which was like 2pm to whenever, that and I miss my late afternoon siestas.

Another thing that has been preventing me from coming here so much as that I have been taking a work related online cl@ss that I have to pass in order for me to get my promotion. Let me be frank, a passing grade is an 85% so there is much room for error if you know what I mean especially since some of the stuff on it is really hard! The section that is about all of the different foodbourne illnesses is going to be the death of me I think! It's going to be kind of hard for me to remember what the symptoms of a disease like Campylobacteriosis or Staphylococcal Gastroenteritis when I can't spell or even pronounce them! I actually should be working on my cl@ss instead of being here posting a blog, hope my boss dosen't get pissed at me! I'll just blame it on one of my co-workers who was supposed to be helping me study but keeps ditching me and hit it hard after work tommorow.

The other reason for me not being here is gaming related, or more specifically World of Warcraft related, hey a guy's got to game people! Last month, I got sick of being in the same guild ( essentially it's a club) that I had been in since shortly after I started playing. I was sick of being seemingly one of the few people ever playing and how all unorganized the guild was so I decided to find a new one for myself. The guild that I am in now is a ton of fun to be with, for once I am not the only person on and also there is actually people talking in the guild chat channel! Granted, most of them have known most of the other guildies for quite a while by how they talk to each other! But they are so damn funny and they make me want to log on and play if nothing else so that I can finally get up to their levels and do things with them!

Here are some random World of Warcraft just so that people can see what my two main characters and their pets sort of look like since I still haven't figured out how to get a screenshot showing the front of my characters!

Hey there my Matt

So good to see you around. You really have a lot in your plate Those late shifts are good for catching on your sleep but getting back home late is pretty frustrating since it feels like your day has already ended. Oh, and that course is just meh. Hope you pass it so you can get your promotion. Hopefully things will get better after that.

I was totally kidding as for the gaming bit. Everyone must have their distractions from our long days and I'm glad that you've found yours gaming. It's just that we miss you around. By the way, that new guild sounds way more fun that the other.

Isabelle gets Chomper and Coldblooded and Silverlions gets Speedy? That made me laugh.

Huge hugs

Matt you're back!! Sucks that work has been keeping you away from us, as well as those games
Your online class, is it like a Food Hygiene course?? Cause if so, it's probably made you more paranoid about food and preparation I can't touch chicken now without getting into a OCD panic about cleaning!!

BM:Yeah the class is kind of meh but at least when I pass it I won't have to take it again for 5 years which is nice. You might also like the fact that my other character's name just happens to be Liontarget!

kiwi: it's a food safety course, and a really in-depth one at that! Hasn't made me paranoid but rather more aware of how important safety is!
