Delays (Patreon)

First of all:  Fuck this year.

Second of all: FUCK THIS YEAR.

I thought it was bad enough when I reached the milestone of having worked 300 hours of Overtime at work (it's 320-ish now, not counting the upcoming Prime week and peak season that'll bump that up to bare minimum 400) which has backlogged everything I've tried to work on, but at least I got money out of that to save and spend on stuff, even if it killed the back-end of video production for another year in a row.

As for the rest of the chaos...well, I don't really need I think to repeat any of that--most of you have been living it yourselves--beyond reminding people that I'm currently a resident of Kenosha Wisconsin.

September's absence of content being posted was not planned, but a result of bad timing/scheduling, and me spending my time focused on getting the final script for next year done.  I'm sorry, I really was trying to get everything in order so-as to not have these problems that have interrupted videos being releases since 2018 in the next year.
Spoilers; Said script I'm working on is currently 67 pages long, and I'm only halfway done with it *AT BEST*  At worst, I have another 80 in front of me, it's that long.  It will *SO* be worth it though, or at least I feel it will be, as it's covering a lot of things in a *Mostly* positive light.  

But It would have been Done by now if it weren't for something screwed up happening literally every weekend that have kept burning time.  I'm sitting at about 8 days lost right now, and I'll be losing more.
As for all the events that have taken place in september...well, if each month of 2020 has felt like a year into and of itself, september has felt like a repeat of all of 2020.

And It's likewise not going to be done for a while yet, for the reason I'm writing this, to explain why there's again going to be a delay in posts for another few weeks, as I *DID* intend to start posting up again this weekend.

My Mother just died, I received the call from the local police at Midnight while I was at work.  And I'm going to be busy settling her affairs for at bare minimum a week, most likely 2 weeks, alongside my Aunt.

My laptop is in such terrible shape that I can't access my footage on it so it's not like I can review that for writing while I'm away settling that...and my Mothers place does not have internet access that will allow me to post to or crosspost FROM Youtube via my laptop accessing the internet.  And no, I've tried before, but posting from my phone just...does not work for me.  Last time I made the attempt was last year, and youtube's insistence on only allowing access from the studio app prevents such from working correctly.  if it was browser-based like it used to be there'd be no problem, but it's not.

After I am done with that--or as close as I can get, for those Who've not gone through it, settling the affairs of the deceased can take up to a year--I promise I will begin to post the remainder of the videos I have in reserve.  But, honestly, with how draining this year has been on all our collective sanities, I'll likely only be able to get the current batch I've been prepping done for next year by...well, the first months of next year, assuming nothing even screwier happens.  As It is, October through the end of December are likely to be 60-hour weeks...again, meaning I'll likely only be able to record stuff and do preliminary audio/live-segment edits and not the 'insert the footage' parts.
which Is frustrating for me, as originally it was looking to be a 50-ish episode season again.  I miss when I was able to do those, even if a lot of the stuff I do now is shorter.

Here's hoping no-one who shows up for my Mother's wake/Funeral is one of those stupid anti-mask idiots.  I've got a damaged lung so am in that nebulous 'Higher risk' category for death from COVID, as It is; and I'm concerned already some of my more common sense-resistant relatives won't take the freaking hint.  I can at least get tested due to work, lots of others can't or don't.

Stay safe, everyone.
