Welcome to the home of the slacker. Those of you who read this are pretty much narrowed down to my loyal fanfiction fans who, without a doubt, deserve an updated chapter on time once in a while, especially when I say I'm going to post an updated chapter for a story.
Those of you who are waiting for these chapters, feel free to stretch me out on the rack and apply the hot oil. I even give you permission to drag out the iron maiden, for I am a slacker, and because of my procrastinating ways, I deserve it!
But before you tie me to a stake and burn me alive, let me assure you that the reasons for not updating are nothing but excuses, but they are good ones.
Last week, I got fired from my new job at the local bistro because they decided they couldn't afford to hire me after all. This in turn, sparked a fatalist mood in me. I cannot keep a job. I have a great personality, am good with people, and I work hard. I am, however, prone to sloth on the worst of my days. (Of course, the woman that fired me did so after I asked her about the possibility of me making a short trip this past weekend to Washington for my husbands family reunion. She threw a fit about it, I debated for the better part of an entire day on whether I should just go or stay home and send the rest of my family on the way. Before I had the chance to call her and inform her that I would be coming to work on Sunday, she called me and told me she had no use for me. It's her loss, and no matter how badly you want it, when you run a small business that is just getting on it's feet, there is no such thing as a day off, whether you hire someone you can't afford to hire or not just to get it.) The best of it, was that I even offered to trade another girl that worked during the week! BEFORE I went! and I was brand new! I wasn't sure that I could keep up on a week day, but I was going to try my damndest to do it, new or not. I was determined! Then she verbally smacked me in the face saying there was no way in hell that I would cut it on the weekday, even if I managed to trade someone which was highly impossible, and that I had to do what I had to do.
I HATE THAT FUCKING LINE! Do what you have to do. Do what you fucking have to do. I didn't have to hop in the car and drive 300 something fucking miles to see people that I barely know or haven't met at all. I didn't have to do anything. I did it because I love my husband, my inlaws, and it was my husband's grandmother's birthday, and she was wanting to see her great grandkids. And being that she's been sick and in the hospital so much this past year, I thought it was most definately a damn good idea to travel up there and see her again, just in case it was the last time we could. I didn't have to do anything, but you'd think that a woman with a family would understand the importance of something like that. and it's not like I knew in advance, either. The day I found out about it, I went and talked to her about it to see if it was okay.
"Well, I'll just have to work that day. Do what you have to do." Well excuse me. Because of that snotty voice and that fucking stupid, overused line, I was prepared to make her happy instead of my family and stay home. I was going to make my husband take my children up those three hundred something miles by his self so that they wouldn't be disapointed and think that I was just keeping him away. Yes, I was trying to win browny points from my inlaws, because I have the distinct feeling that they just don't like me very much. I wanted to prove to them that I wasn't as antisocial as I proved to be at first. Screw that all to fucking hell, I have to make my new boss happy. And she fires me not a minute before I was getting ready to give her a call.
...bitter? me? no. Just venting. I'm sorry, you guys. Anyway, so I got fired, then I spent the weekend with inlaws and away from internet access, and now I'm sicker than snot with a head and chest cold.
Hopefully, when I'm better I'll be able to finish the next chapter to The Tracker for you guys. In the meantime, I'm sorry for making your eyes bug out. This is a journal and I intend to use it for the occasional rant and rave. >.<
I'll hopefully have something up for you very soon.
Take care all!

How hard will I be smacked for saying, do what you have to do? ;) Mind you, tongue firmly planted in cheek.
I just found your series "Tracker", and have spent my night reading it. Absolutely fantastic. :) While I very much want to read more... I wish you and yours well. I hope the family reunion goes well.
Hi, I just read your story "Tracker", and I have to say that I think it's amazing. I have read a-lot of the Aliens books, and have read a few of the Predator books- Prey, and Hunters Planet. I loved the story, hoping that when you have the time you'll finish it.
