Ah.
Speaking of work, things are surprisingly... okay right now!
We still lurch from crisis to crisis but even though I'm newer than most folks, they keep coming to me, because I'm the only person who answers their emails, bothers to be friendly, explains things, finds out what's going on, or gets shits
done.
Also my workload has gotten much lighter partly because of a mysterious decrease in overall volume, but also because SOME things are finally working properly.
Hell, Captain Creepy is still, uh creepy. But he's been a pretty good ally. Basically, he's still the same, his speech and mannerisms not revealing anything about his emotional or mental state, but at least some of the time he's friendly and helpful in his actions, so that's a net gain.
The only downside is they finally figured out how to get the remote network working, so my boss can finally watch my calls and times from the head office, but for the most part I can work around that, preserving my rather 'carefree' attitude.
... All this means is that I am probably due to get massively fucked in some terrible way soon.
