You're right about the newsletter. I meant to get started on it three days ago, then got caught up in cleaning up some vandalism and with the "research" I will have in the Crat Corner. For the Valentine's Day background, great and thank you.

Regarding the fan art issue, I have to be honest. I'm still not ready to start on that, and with what's going on, it's going to be a few months. Maybe do a mid-year bonus issue?

Basically, what's going on is I just became an admin another wiki, bringing the total to 12. I wasn't expecting that. Five of those were in the last six months. There's also a major project for work that I need to update again since I need it to do my job better. Let's just say that the department that is handling this kind of thing has a lot of opportunities to improve and I've been waiting for about two years to see any improvement.

Likewise, I need to improve so I can earn my keep around here. I said it in the last newsletter and that admin promotion yesterday drove it home tonight. I have to do things differently. I don't feel overwhelmed, but most of the time, I haven't felt like doing much. Maybe it's the same thing, or just being in a rut.

So that "do things differently" doesn't equal stepping down from being an admin here, I think what I'm going to do is cycle through the wikis. There's two or three that I need to be involved with on a regular/daily basis (this wiki needs to be first of those). Pick one or two more and work on just that group for that day. Do something in that group, even if it's just one thing per wiki. Then skim the rest just to make sure no vandalism has slipped in.

I just checked the clock. It's after midnight now, so I will have to start and finish the newsletter right after work tonight.
