Madness, Space and LinkedIn.....

 ....thrown together.

(Because otherwise this would be a really short blog)

Hello world,

So......I'm updating this blog and getting my brain away from my day job. Because, well...

I'll spare you the boring details, but my day job is the mail/post business. And with Christmas coming up, the craze has REALLY hit home. And with another four working days to go, I really needed to get away from work. And with all this insanity going on, there hasn't been much energy to spare for my writing. But it is not all bad news, because....


There's Space: 2029 and other writings

Episode 1 - Breakaway is done. Further more, the first chapter on Episode 2 - Earthbound - is on Fanfiction.net. On another front, the writing rate of the Star Trek RPG I'm a member off - and tells the adventures of the USS Pathfinder and her crew - had tanked. 

October was a utter disaster with only one mail....November was a slight improvement with four mails and this month has seen ten mails so far. And I get the sense that there are a few left in the pipeline. So, we're on our way to recovery. Yay !

And moving on to...

LinkedIn

...where my profile page has been gathering dust for quite a while now. How come ? Because, frankly, I don't use it. So why do I have it ? It's not like I'm looking for new job. And even if I was, using LinkedIn for that is iffy. So to answer the question. "To look like a professional." And it was nice, free way to increase my internet footprint. 

So, after this blog is done, I am going to update it. Maybe try to knock out an article. And with that, I'll stop booooooriiing all of you. I know, my blog isn't big, spectacular or exciting, just....average and tiny bit dull. But that's life for most people, especially in these Covid-times. On the bright side, that gives me time to continue watching Space 1999 and my ER Season 1 rewatch. Laters !
