They will always demand more and give less time. IT doesn&#8217;t help that I&#8217;ve made 2 entirely new things and reworked one additional thing. This of course, makes me not yet eligible for a promotion.<\/p>\n<p>Church:<br \/>\nI have continued on my spiritual pursuit in the order. I am very active with the local group and have been ordained as a Deacon. I have been attending and teaching classes. Currently I&#8217;m about 2 months away from my first experience as a priest.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships:<br \/>\nIn case it hasn&#8217;t been obvious, I&#8217;ve recently become happily involved with <a href=\"http:\/\/shimmeringjemmy.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">shimmeringjemmy<\/a>. We have been spending a lot of time together (which is quite the interesting concept as we 1100 miles apart) We make each other very happy. Friends seem to agree. Of course this means we&#8217;re both really nervous and still just trying to see where this will go. (Which we both hope is forward and positively.)<\/p>\n<p>I also have been interacting with one of my oldest (in length) and dearest of trusted friends, <a href=\"http:\/\/schnookiemuffin.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">schnookiemuffin<\/a>. Who lives only marginally further away at nearly 2500 miles away. She is probably one of my most favourite people in the world and has always been there for me in times of need as I have been for her. This will probably continue on until we are batting away at each other with canes in our 90s.<\/p>\n<p>More could be elaborated on all these things. But the people involved know how I feel. And that&#8217;s really all that&#8217;s important \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3
