Each week as witness a small post similar to this one is written up to let folks know what's going on in this week, as well as other inner workings of my role and ultimately life here on Steemit.com and it's backing STEEM network.

This weeks witness update isn't a particularly long one, my apologizes to my readers whom likely expect more posts, info and lulz then I have been able to muster lately. Some exciting news on the hiring front of the STEEM.GLOBAL project as I've found a good candidate for the position that was offered earlier. Read below for more details.

Have to appologize to all those who had applied for the position for not making this public knowledge earlier with a post. Battling with a bout of depression at the moment and have had difficulty shaking the blue rut I'm seemingly facing.. enough about me though! I'm very excited to announce that new Team KLYE hiree Hive account@lucashunter has joined the ranks and is currently accelling at his given duties for the STEEM.GLOBAL project. Very pleased with his performance and "go-getter" attitude thus far! truly a great assistant to the STEEM.GLOBAL verification process. I'll be catching up to the work he's done in the upcoming hours as I process the list and manually set account capability/role.

There isn't any real reason I can come up with as to why I've been feeling for lack of a better term "Like a sac of crusty shit" lately, (please pardon my french) but as summer draws to an end and everything starts showing signs of fall something has been triggered in me, dragging my psyche and mind downwards into zones I prefer not to inhabit. One thing I perhaps feel a void within myself towards lately has been my personal and online relationships, while I've got a few friends that I hang out with locally and I know I've got hundreds if not thousands of friends online here lately just been wrapped in the feels of lonely.

I'm not sure an apology cuts it here really, I know as well as anyone following me knows that I'm not my normal beaming self full of content, code, crude (yet refined) MS-Paint art and calamity as I should be lately.. My work and output have been affected by this slump, both in ability to feel/focus that magic spark of creation as well as ability to slog through debugging my at times somewhat esoteric programming style. Not burnt out at all, it's impossible not to love what you do when you've chosen your own path... it's just more of a general feeling of sadness or blues. Hopefully it will pass soon and I can get back to running better.

Needed to get this off my chest and tell someone how I feel.. Even if the whole world knows, so be it.. Thank you all in advance for the love and for making my existence more then some inconsequential blip in the history of all. Kind of feel a bit better already, remembering / knowing the folks here on STEEM take me as I am and have always been supportive.

P.S Wrote this in the morning when I'd just awoken. Filled my day full of things that make me happy like working on the car and trying to fix my f*cking computer... I seem to be in slightly better spirits for the time being. A great relief. Going to go roll one and pray to the windblows gods this reset unfux my USB connections on Project Black Stallion. While that's doing it's thing going to catch up on STEEM.GLOBAL verify list ... and with a little luck I'll even still have my project files from the new PC after resetting it and installing all thre programs again. (Should have ghosted it when it was running smooth, live and learn)

P.P.S Got the STEEM.GLOBAL verifications caught up and Project Black Stallion seems to be responding to USB stimuli now... Off to go load up all my drivers and software on it again.. joy! (insert foul language here) ... Thanks everyone for the awesome replies/comments. <3
