Dear AG Community Blog,
It's been quite a while since I wrote to you at length; the fact that the entries inside of you seem to have gotten shorter and more mundane seems to have contributed to such a fact. But then, it's my fault too; I've been lazy, and I don't think anyone really cares what I write in here. (And those who would, well, they usually chat with me outside these forums, anyway.)
So, I read the first post I made in this thread, almost a year ago, and this part in particular struck me:

It made me feel sad. I remember all too well how that felt, and it was painfully alienating. I mean, sure, during the day, I got to work at this company I loved and really believed in, but then I'd go home and I'd have no one to talk to about it afterwards. But then, so soon after, I did make the close friends I sought; one appeared seemingly out of nowhere and became one of the very rare people I almost instantly just clicked with perfectly, and others just crept up gradually -- not nearly as strong as the one, but still valuable in and of themselves.
Today, it's the opposite: I have the friends, but I miss the job. It sucks, but it's actually not nearly as bad, to be honest. I just have to remember that.
Okay, enough sap. Bye now.
Exes and ohs,
Squaaaaanky
