Hello everyone!

Firstly, let me apologise for my absence of several months - it really was careless of me. Essentially, several factors combined to make my summer rather busy, which gave me precious little time for literature...

The main thing was that the nitwits who employed me for the summer (and boy was it hard to get a job in the current economic state) thought that "part-time" constituted around 60-70 hours a week. Couple this with the fact that my computer decided to mess up big style (needed new hard drive, processor and RAM!) and you have the reason for my absence - long, punishing shifts followed by brief periods where all I wanted to do was rest, and couldn't summon up the inclination to try and a) work out what was wrong with this wretched contraption, and b) actually fix it.

Still, I'm back at Uni now, which actually means I have a bit of free time here and there, so I have returned... if you'll have me...:redface:

Nice to see you back, Loka! :)

Nice to see you back Loka. No apologies needed. :)

Hey I hope you got paid by the hour. If so, then though it may have crimped your private life a bit, you probably made a nice little bundle for a college student. ;)

Welcome back!

That is true. It might have been minimum wage, but it does mount up pretty spectacularly... that should pay for a few more years of Uni...:lol:
