(This is a straight copy from the thread I've posted in Staff Discussion (Only available to staff, of course). Just decided to share with everyone else as well)
Hello, everyone.
I am certain that several have noticed that I have been somewhat inactive. The reason(s) behind this is/are two things.
First off, I've been quite sick recently. That included daily vomiting and diarrhea. Now, this was from around Thursday 2 weeks ago, and the entirety of last week. It's just about gone, so that's great.
Now comes the second reason. As some may know, I have recently started on an internship as a data technician. Now, the location for this internship is around 90 km (56 miles) away from me. The travel itself is around 1.5 hours each way, including an 8 hour work schedule. This means I am away from 11-12 hours every day. I get home at 6 PM (latest) and 5:20 PM soonest. This really limits my time to myself and other activities, as I have to go to bed early in other to wake up again at 5:30 AM.
In other words, the time I have for myself, the server, and all other activities, is around 2-4 hours every day. That is not a lot, compared to what I have before (At least 2-3 hours less), which means that maintaining a constant presence on the server becomes problematic.
I do try being active, though I usually don't stick around for long, especially with how I have to read more onto programming, in order to make sure what I am doing is correct. This probably means my server time is 1-2 hours at max.
I have considered to actually resign due to this, as it will go on for the next 4.5 years, however, after previously discussing it with a few other staff members, including Bolli, I have chosen to see how it goes. If it becomes too troublesome, I will probably eventually decide to resign.
Anyway, this is just so that everyone knows.
