I think I might've mentioned this before, but I can't remember where Clyde originally came from. I'm fairly certain a three-legged cat was a writing circle challenge element, but I don't remember why or who came up with it, or if he was my idea to begin with. I've been slowly plodding away at a story that's set in the 80s, but I can't decide whether or not to add him in. I've included him in so many other things, I feel like he ought to at least pop up in a scene or two. Hmmm...

I genuinely like my new job and my co-workers. But we lost a key person shortly after I started (not lost in a bad way, he just moved to be closer to his aging parents) and I had to absorb his tasks as the only one with the (marginal) computer/tech skills to take them on. We have been trying even since to fill that position. We have some new applicants so *crosses fingers* maybe we'll get someone in soon. And in defense of my co-workers? They have absolutely done their best to help me by taking on as many of my actual duties as they can to free me up for this, but it has been definitely a slog here.
