Ask the Staff!

[RandomSia]

Dear Staff,

Do you have a routine or schedule you live by?
If so, what is it?
If not, why are you an agent of chaos?

Half and half. Having an adult job requires a certain amount of schedule. Up at 6:30, get ready, take out the dog, kiss the hubs when he gets home, make breakfast/coffee, leave for work. Slightly difference when hubs in on day shift since he gets up at 5:30 lol. On his days off I also feed the rabbit and kitty instead of taking out the dog. Work is 8-4:30 then I got home and make or eat dinner, read, mod, bookstagram, and bed by 11pm. Weekends are absolute chaos. xD I hate life being exactly the same every day, it's boring imo.

Wondering if any of the staff, have any favorite item for pets? Like I know some people have answered favorite pet a few times, but I've never seen staff answer favorite item, or even favorite dress up. Any staff, is there any particular items you like, don't like, or a favorite dress up?

My fave dress-ups are my Eleventh Doctor but all of the egyptian event dressups are some of my fave items too!

Pet's name: The Eleventh Doctor

Ask the staff, I shall. These have probably been asked before but we did get new staff so I'll pretend they haven't.

Personal Life

> What is your irl name?
Kaelan. It's Gaelic, which I find rather beautiful given it's a "dying" language, but there are so many different spellings people rarely get it right. Odd however is simple and expresses how I present myself very well and therefore has become a suitable Moniker for who I am on CS.
