i'm here, once in a while. won't leave completely, but real life has gotten interesting and tiring (mostly in a good way) enough that i often end up forgetting about online communities
at least i'm lucky enough to like my job and colleagues, and don't feel too much need to change my name. a funny thing happened today, btw. my boss called me by her husband's name. our names sound pretty similar, but his is male and quite common, and mine is neither. i'm usually only called that name by people who haven't heard my name before
