Posting this right before dismantling my computer. I'm more sad about internet access than I am about anything else.
I think that during the times I've lived in Chicago, I've never really appreciated it because I was always only staying there temporarily between moves to places like Portland which I liked better. I made myself a promise to appreciate what it has to offer more this time around -- I've already lined up a few concerts to go see, eyeing some places to perform to get back into making music, etc.
It's going to be a good one, even if means a sort of DT withdrawal for the next six weeks. I'll be doing more run & gun posting on lunch hours as opposed to actually having eight hours a day to surf and chat and respond endlessly during a less active but miserable job.
So thanks to all of you for getting me through what was by far the worst job of my life -- not sure how I would have done it without DT to help me through the last two-thirds of it.
On that note, I'll be in touch for sure, in better times and better moods.
Writing that made me feel like we're breaking up

Don't worry, I'm come crawling back in due time!
