Howdy Boarders past and present!

It's been about 6 months since I've even checked the Board, but idly had a whim to pop back in here and say hi!

What's news? From front page posts, I see something about me officially being ancient now? (Also possibly a shadowy Cabal of 5 underneath Tsarina Kaitlyn, but I'm not at liberty to discuss that.)

In recent Elcalion news, I've been doing quite a lot of travelling, including a trip to Europe for a conference a month or two ago, and am already up to 60,000km of air travel this year, and heartily sick of the inside of a plane. I have also been working for 10 years full time now (at the same company too) which is a scary thought, but is offset by long service leave*, so I'm planning yet more travel.

... I should really get around to finishing my third mission, seeing as it's been (*checks watch*) seven years since I've completed one.

Anyway, celebratory profiteroles and Bleeprum for everyone!

Elcalion, returnatory

*For those of you not in Australia/New Zealand, long service leave is a throwback to the 19th century where it took months to travel back to the UK (the "home country") and so employees got extended period of leave to travel back home once every 10 years. It still survives, but now just means if you stay with the same employer for 10 years you get 2.5 months of paid holiday as a one-off bonus.
