Finally saved my LJ content as a BlogBook and turned off crossposting to the site. I doubt Russia really gives a shit about anything I've posted over there but the latest TOS tomfuckery proved to be the impetus I needed to finally take care of something I'd been meaning to do for awhile. I'm also on One Post Wonder, G+, and FB under my real name, plus there's my writing site where I post writing-related stuff on occasion.

Abandoning LJ does feel a little weird, probably because it's the longest online presence I've maintained anywhere. I don't know that I'll be posting here any more often--most of my daily wordcount goes into fiction projects, and secondarily into job-related things--but I'm here, anyway.

Speaking of dayjob, I haven't told the boss yet but this coming year will be my last. I'm doing one more year for two reasons: one is health insurance (I expect WA to maintain some sort of state exchange regardless of what happens at the federal level, but figuring out what we want and can afford will take awhile and I've been in the middle of other things like estate planning and buying 90 acres of raw land) and the other is that the university is going through considerable upheaval and we didn't find out until today whether our department of six librarians (one of whom was half time) would be reduced to four next fall.

As to what comes after that, I'm pretty sure I'll be leaving the library profession. For what I'm not sure (I mean, I intend to continue writing, but I need to balance it with something), but right now I'm looking seriously at spending some time on the Pacific Crest Trail, and then taking the full time program at Wilderness Awareness School. It's never too late, they say, but it seems to me that that's the sort of thing that's more feasible to accomplish while one is still in relatively resilient physical condition.
