When I will not be able to play at all anymore.

Life rolls ahead, and the carefree life of a highschooler wanes...

Forty hours a week begin soon, at tiny, six-dollar-an-hour wages, every penny of which is saved.

All to go towards security deposits, application fees, first and last month's rent, utilities, food, gas, and an apartment-warming party.

I've got a month until I move, and most of that time will be taken up with working (soon, anyhow). I'm not going to be leaving for good, nor even completely disappearing. But... I won't be able to play much. Even in this coming month.

Explorers, never fear; I'll do my best to make the Belinara trips.

Quest DMs? Don't think you'll be rid of me so easily.

The rest of you? Well... Keep up the good work. And don't expect me to be gone!

'Cause, you know, I'm still around for now.

Keep in touch.

When you get settled, you'll find you have more time than you expected. Besides, Pyyran has a duty to continue to spread "Striker" philosophy of fighting. Oh, and go to college, you bum. ;-)

It's not so bad. Soon you'll learn how much sweeter layo tastes when you have to call in sick or wait until the weekend in order to play it!

Working for the Weekend.

@Stephen and Milty: No offense, but by the Time Stephen finds time to play again, Shiff will be the one teaching "Striker" Philosophy, and you both know it...

Have fun in the "real world." Trust me... You'll be back in a week...

I bet you'll find a way to play. Layo is like Hotel California. You can check out any time you want but you can never leave.

You guys are terrible *laughs at Milton and Lonnarin*. Good luck on making your own start! Remember..slow and steady wins the race, and if I could offer you one bit of advice on life....stay out of debt. See you around.

Sorry to hear that Stephen but I hope Karn will still see Pyyran around from time to time. Yet RL must come first! Good Luck!

You'll quickly realize it all isn't as daunting or as hard as it now seems... and that you'll probably want to play more.

See you then.

Oi that's perfect.

And it's such a shame to see you get a clamp that size on game-time... $6/hr is just abominable. Try working at yon bank. Pay good. Or.. begin an organic vegetable garden and stick it to the man. Or or, harvest boxes of aloe - they sell good you know, and, and spider silk! *pictures Stephen going around the basement sweeping off spider webs with a Q-tip into a box* Heeheh

Any loss of Pyyran is a big loss.

Are you insane!!

I work 42 hours a week, keep the GF happy, turn out with the lads, and still find the time.

But....RL is the main. Good luck mate!
Dont be gone long *waves*

*chuckles at the picture of Stephen sweeping cobwebs*

You know Steve. I thought that you guys would never ever see me again (or not that often) when college started. Im still here.

Don't count your chickens, good ones or bad.

lonnarin · « **Reply #12 on:** April 25, 2007, 07:59:44 pm »

Yes, counting the evil chickens is bad.

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #13 on:** April 25, 2007, 09:15:26 pm »

I love you guys. So very much.

Anyhow, I'm likely to have a lot more time to play (among other things) once I do get moved in and get my schedule settled down, but this coming month is going to be a strain. School and work... That's eighty hours a week, together.

Six bucks an hour is about all I can make with no Highschool diploma or even GED (yet), and zero work experience. I know, I know, it's a rough and unfriendly path to go, getting a GED, but I've been through the discussion way too much with too many people. Suffice it to say that it's not currently possible for me to take another route.

The Hotel Layonara is not in Prantz. Oh, no. They bought real estate in my heart.

I AM NOT GONE. Rawr. Nor will my time even be constrained until I START at Arby's, which is probably another week off. (Though I really hope not - I needs the moneys.)

But I do love you guys.

Though... How big is a "box"? I mean, I can grow aloe myself...

Yeah, RL gets in teh way of layo alot

Dont worry, pretty soon hawk will be calling Pyyran Daddy *evil grin*

Acacea · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2007, 03:59:46 am »

Better the GED than what I have, since it doesn't even count outside of the state. Which despite some problems it gives me, I am thankful for, since the 'proficiency' exam was 100 multiple choice questions and a five minute essay... the math portion was scary. I mean. "If there is a 1/4 chance that it will rain on Saturday, what are the chances that it will NOT rain on Saturday? Take your time... this is only the equivalent to four years of schooling, apparently."

Useless, I tell you.

I think you'll manage some layonara time between a heavy work and school load. But when in doubt, drop the game.

I wish you the best Steven.

Good luck dude. If you want a better paying job, try to get in to the restaurant industry in the front-of-house. You can make sick loot in the right spot.

Sorry to hear that, Stephen. I hope things will calm down enough for you to find some time for this place again, soon. We all love you!
