The fact I went straight from 28 to 42 hours (I am used to going from 30-32 to 38) and some idiot at work calling in sick every two day or so (and sometimes not even calling at all and not showing up at work). I ended up working a 11:45 shift once (13:45 if you add the two dinner breaks) and during the few evenings I worked I couldn't even stay to bed during morning like I used to because I always got called to come at work earlier because of that guy, so I never could really sleep. The worst part is that bad shit happened with me the two weeks prior this started happening and afterward I planned to recover, only to end up getting exhausted from an overloaded work schedule even more. It did not help that my normal work schedule allowed me to sleep late every night and wake up later, while this one is random. Next week my work schedule goes back to normal, but they still haven't fired that guy so it doesn't really mean I'll necessarily have all my free periods of time everyday.
As for the other stuff that happened prior that I'll not go into details, especially that it was the result of real life things over the last year (also happened at work, but totally unrelated), but this had an impact on my online activity too, especially by mid-June. My work schedule issues combined with the problems prior that are why my activity decreased so much this month, though.
The good thing, though, is that I'm not too worried about the entire board activity in overall because it's extremly high. When the old board started and when this one started I tried replying to everything to create activity and started a few misc threads about random stuff. Now if I don't reply to everything immediately there are so many people around that are interested and have time to participate. I feel a bit sad to not be able to check out every project updates like I used to, though.
Had I got no issues, my posting stats would have remained at about 25% of every month as long as we averaged at under 450 posts a day.
That said, even if my work schedule becomes stable again, my activity will still probably be a bit lower for a while, since I'm currently working on the Omnimaga SMF remix of the December 2005 skin (that looks similar to the 2006 one), messing around with Casio BASIC on the CFX-9850G and my new Prizm and trying to diversify my activities a bit (*cough*Starcraft*cough*). ASM learning will most likely wait a bit more.
