Mid July Update
Well I figured it was about time for me to post an update here. I have been hard at work lately, as well as balancing my time with trying to get my TF2 servers organised. My previous gaming clan, the FastLaneCrew decided they could no longer support the servers, so they handed them back to me, and I thusly had to build up a small clan to support them. So far things are going well, and I am working on getting everything running smoothly. My Green Cheek Conure, "Paddy" is doing well. He has started a molt, likely because of this hot weather we have been having. But otherwise is doing fine. The wart on his eye is gone that's to some anti-biotic the vet provided for him. Paddy has been a joy for me to have around. While he is kind of like having a child in some respects, he is generally easier to take care of. Paddy has attached himself to me, and he will often ask me to scratch behind his ears and enjoys cuddling under my hand when I am trying to type (which can get annoying...). Him and Beryl generally get along okay, and I have let both out of the cages at the same time, and they both like to fly around together. 'Little Bird' however is still a mean bitch towards Paddy.. She however has not gotten her wings yet, so we don't let her out. I have tried to convince Nightbird to start training the Parakeets again, but I don't think that is going to happen. Work is going well. I am on night shifts now, which is interesting. The job involves walking long underground tunnels... I can't really go into the specifics of it, as it is heavily monitored by DHS, but its pretty neat. I have had a craving to go hiking lately - perhaps even to Zoar Valley again, so I can relax in the nude for a bit... lol Meh, what can I say, it feels very liberating to do that... I was kicked out of the firehall as my work schedule interfered with my drills which I was required to attend. I did get permission to get excused from those drills from my chief, however apparently that fact was forgotten when the board of directors meeting took place and they were like... oh hes been missing drills... no shit... its called earning a living. Not to worry, I am likely moving out of Buffalo within a year or so. That hall was fairly boring, and I am not missing much. In my opinion, they have some serious problems there, which should be sorted out. But they won't be, and eventually the hall will get shit-canned, and they will sit there scratching their heads wondering why. Likely for the best I am no longer involved. I shall try to post more often now that I am kinda getting settled into my new schedule.
