*Does not think anyone is reading this*

Yesterday I began the very tedious task of fixing all the broken links on HPPC RSS feed. For those that do not know the HPPC forums crashed and burned during a server move which resulted in broken links for podcast reviews. I am not even half way done but I am please I was able to get accomplished what I did last night with the help of some other staffers.
HPPC Halloween events continue to be planned behind the scenes and I do think things are moving along nicely. I really hope all the members participate in the activities we are planning. Nothing near as large as anything HPFF does, because let’s be honest we have NO WHERE near the membership. However everyone can help change that by making sure to tell everyone you know to join, hang out and have some fun.
The S.E.E.S. SHEEP are continuing their S.P.A. plans and anyone is welcome to join and spread the word. I suppose I will have to explain S.E.E.S. and S.P.A. in the blog eventually. Maybe that would be a good reason to check back. Then such slogans as: S.E.E.S. the Day Support the Movement and I Love the S.P.A. will make sense to you. I can promise they are somewhat humorous if you find silly crazy things funny. Mostly S.E.E.S. and S.P.A. are two things I drummed up (no pun intended) to increase membership and awareness of HPPC to HPFF members, which is where 99% of HPPC membership originates from.  So yep more to come I promise!
Real World work has the main system I work in crashed in my main office since yesterday and it isn’t due to be fixed until Monday morning. Luckily I was in office #2 today and was able to work on items. I guess I will be doing a lot of filing and desk organizing tomorrow and to be honest it needs done. There are also a few clients I need to track down and get them to report their jobs. My job is to help people get jobs and sometimes those people that get jobs don’t like to tell me for some unknown reason. All this accomplishes is frushtration because then I have to track them down and that is not much fun.

Sheep Herder?

Well I have a blog now a real one. Since others seem to enojy deleting my other stuff I just figured 'hey I can do this somewhere else.'

First off I am not a REAL sheep herder so I am sorry if you have come here looking for some really interesting stories about lambs, rams and ewes. I fell into the sheep thing because it was a desperate attempt for some 'look at me time' and what do you I think it worked. I am really a late 20's not for profit worker who happens to have a weird and sometimes unhealthy obsession with Harry Potter.

Said obsession turned to the internet which let me to HPFF (harrypotterfanfiction.com) which then lead me to HPPC (harrypotterpodcast.com) which lead to sheep and a staff position on said HPPC. A staff position on a website is like that unpaid college internship you took for experience except it is much longer than a semester and you get to pick what you do (most of the time). Sometimes I feel more like it's a second job minus the paycheck. Though members pay me in hugs sometimes which just makes me uncomfortable and is a whole other topic.

I am not sure what type of direction I want to go with this thing but I think a good mix of my Harry Potter stuff, some advice from my RL (real life) job mixed in with whatever else I want. Why? Because I can do whatever I want and if no one reads this it shall serve for some good travels down memory lane in the future. However I can promise little pictures of sheep because after all I am a sheep herder.
