Sorry for the absence

As for FF - all good things are worth the wait.  Even if the beta never gets off the ground, I would still be a very satisfied and grateful FFer.  The thought of the beta is just a bonus - one that none of us deserve, but every one of us will enjoy, whenever it comes around.  So thank YOU for the dedication to the game!

Completely agree and couldn’t have said it better!

some of my friends have kids, but also not many (still, more kids than marriages, it seems).

Unfortunately, this stands true for the people I know as well.

I second the bits about the beta and would love to hear more stories about your grandpuppy. Congratulations, Shanthi!

So after thinking about it, I’ll probably take a bit of time off before job hunting (if I’m lucky, push it back to 2013 ). Which means…more time for FF! Woo!

No promises, though. I might stumble across an amazing job tomorrow. So I’ll still play it safe and aim for end-of-2013 to finish the beta.

Here’s hoping an amazing job falls into your lap so you don’t have to go through the job hunting BS.

Thanks! So far job hunting hasn’t been too challenging but I loathe recruiters.
