Oh man, that sounds pretty bad. I hope everything works out for you.

[Awbawlisk]

Oh god... Life is starting to beat you down I see. I pray that everything gets resolved and you are able to gain better control of your life. I'm rooting for you!

[Beed28]

Well, goodbye. I hope you'll be okay in the meantime.

[Emmanuelf06]

Good luck Mendez....hope everything goes well man.

[Turbodude]

Oh man, I'm really sorry to hear things have been so rough...

I wish you all the best, Mendez.

I've been kinda holding off on making this announcement until I was sure I had everything in order.

So I got some good news, and I got some bad news.

The good news is, I've finally landed a job.
I'm gonna be working a night-shift at a local Kroger store, from the middle of the night till morning, three days a week.

The bad news is, combine that with school and I get a wacky schedule that will more than likely screw with my internal clock. I start tomorrow, and I've no idea how much time I'll have to be around here during the week. I'm not saying that I'll be gone, per say; I'll probably be around during the weekends, but it's likely I'll be held back with homework.
This also means that I won't be making a whole lot of progress on any of my projects. Although I've already been neglecting my skins and, to an extent, my classes anyway, so I guess it doesn't make much of a difference.

But hey, at least I'll finally be making some money, now! Maybe then I can actually buy something other than a bottle of juice. :V

So yeah, that's my little announcement.

[Laggy Blazko]

Good luck in your job, Smash.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Thanks, man.

[Yuri Sakazaki]

Good luck with your work, Bro. I'll always be waiting for ya!

I look forward to future KOF battles, though they may be more scarce~

[SmashTheEchidna]

Thanks, sis!
Yeah I know. I'm rusty enough as it is~

and I'm leaving for work at 3:30 in the morning.
This is insane.

[Gumballtoid]

Cool. I got a job at my local Kroger back in August, and the place is always dead by 11:00. I can't imagine being there past that.

More power to ya, though. Good luck!

So then, this is going to be kind of awkward.

I realize I've been absent from the forums for a while now, and I haven't exactly posted anything indicating as to why before-hand. This is mostly due to a series of events that have happened on short notice (such as my computer crashing, and trying to recover data from the salvaged hard-drive). I've been steadily trying to piece my usual layout back together with my new comp, but it's become increasingly difficult due to not only attempting to recover things from my old comp, but also balancing my usual schedules and work. Needless to say, it's been rather disorienting for the most part.

While I was thankfully able to recover a good portion of my files from my hard-drive, there were still a number of things that were corrupt or lost. Sadly, some of these were custom sprites/edits/sheets I was working on for my resource thread. As such, I won't be able to contribute much for a while now - at least in terms of the work I was going to post before. I'll still become a bit more active on the forums through posting, but I sadly won't be able to do custom sprite-work until I can get some other portions of my situation settled down.

[Blutorus]

Don't worry about it. Sometimes you can just forget that you haven't exactly been up to date with some projects, and other times...well, shit just happens. I wouldn't say this is too big of an issue to really call awkward in my opinion, since, you know, you have a career on YouTube and some other areas in life you have to attend to as well, plus with your computer just giving up on you. Hopefully everything can get back on track for you soon enough, because I can understand how it can be a lot when you need to balance out how you are going to do your business throughout life.
