So... yeah.
Work's been a bitch and a half the last few weeks - more so than usual - since I've been back from the holiday time off. That's essentially the main reason for lack of posting and my general all-around M.I.A.-ness with flist stuff. I'm still not caught up from that time off, but frankly, none of us here in the office ever will be.
For those on my flist who aren't aware, I work for the U.S. federal government in civil service, specifically with the Social Security Administration as a claims representative/disability insurance specialist. (Most of) my duties involve the taking of new claims and processing of post-entitlement cases through appointments and unscheduled walk-ins, and adjudicating medically approved claims, in order to get clients into regular pay of federally approved disability benefits - both for those based on financial need, and for those insured through qualifying quarters of coverage on their work record, based on taxes paid into Social Security. And as a federal employee, I take issue with the often-thought stereotype that government employees get paid for sitting on their collective asses. My reasoning is as follows:
Anyway... I kinda just wanted to get that out of my brain. Sorry to bore those who are completely disinterested (everyone, probably).
In better news, though, the 2008 FX Show is finally here this weekend, and I'm ready be there all three days. As of right now, I've already made plans for pics with Nick, Nathan, and Greg. I may be a typical male and see Laura Vandervoort, too. Depends on my cash flow. There's supposed to be a short panel on Sunday at noon with the Whedonverse people - Nicholas Brendon, Nathan Fillion, and Elisabeth Rohm. Looking forward to that, along with scoping out deals on any fandom-related collectibles too good to pass up (as if I need any more geek-worthy crap).
Since this is a new year, I'm also gonna try harder to keep up with birthdays on my flist from now on. Very belated wishes to![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
wsasianboyand tdog0105, both on the 5th, wrthy2bluvdon the 7th, and mari_guerraon the 12th. I hope your respective days were good ones, and I'll try to remember in a more timely fashion next year.
And I have taken way too much time as it is, brain-spewing all of this. Back to work.
Kristen Bell is awesome.
