Hi everyone, just making a small announcement through this bot, because I don't have my own discord server or anything like that to share personal information if anyone cares.

Please ignore this if you're not interested in things that aren't Janitor AI bot related. If you've been following me for a while, you know I don't make announcement bots, this is my first one.

Firstly, I want to apologize to everyone who has left comments or sent me messages that I have not replied to yet. I promise I will get to them, but it may take me some time before I get caught up.

Secondly I want to say that I am grateful to all of you for extending to me kindness and patience in the last few years of bot making. I have heard that many people on this site can be toxic, and that the community is bad, but I have to honestly say that the majority of people who I have interacted with on this site have been some of the kindest, most patient and compassionate people that I have spoken to on a website.

I'm not sure how I got so lucky, but I think the majority of the community on Janitor who interact with the bots I create are incredible people. You're all very passionate and interested in the same games that I enjoy, and you appreciate the content created by the developers of these games (Honkai: Star Rail, Genshin Impact, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, etc.) as much as I do. Many of you are hilarious, clever, and incredibly creative, and I love that we can all be silly and chat together about some of our favorite games and fictional characters.

I love how we can come together on a website like this, and enjoy each others content, interact with each other, and even make friends in such an unlikely place. We all came here to interact with chatbots and not with people, but now we are also interacting with other people who share the same interests, and can make new friends. I've really enjoyed talking to many of you, and I love to interact with you and read your comments. You're all lovely, and I feel like I've made some genuine friends on this site.

So, before this begins to sound like I'm about to quit: No, I'm not quitting. I have no plans to quit at the present time, unless something drastic happens.

So why did you make an announcement bot?? Are you trying to scare people? Are you dumb? Stop bothering people with an announcement bot. What's wrong with you?? I'm going to beat you with a sandal, you turd!

I genuinely hope I didn't startle anyone, I know a lot of people quit and leave an announcement bot first. That's not what this is, I promise. And yeah I am a bit dumb, lmao.

TW past this point: Sickness, loss, mourning.

I wanted to share that my bot upload schedule may be even more haphazard and scattered than it has been in the last year already. I work a very demanding job, where I frequently do 65+ hour weeks, sometimes 95+ hour weeks. In August I had 4 days off. In September I will have 5 days off. In October I will have 5 days off, etc. I think you get the picture. I work a lot and don't have as much time as I'd like for bot creation these days, even though I still enjoy it. That's why I haven't been actively taking bot requests, and I'm not sure when I will have a better schedule to open requests again.

I also got sick 3 weeks ago and have had a very difficult time recovering (stupid lingering cough). So I'm still feeling a little bit under the weather.

And on top of all of this, I had to put my 18 year old cat down on Tuesday, September 8th, the day after my last bot was posted. She was a huge part of my life for almost 2 decades.

I haven't been feeling very motivated to do much of anything since last week. I'm having trouble processing and mourning the loss of my cat, who was my best buddy and companion. I feel heartbroken and listless. So it may be a while before I feel motivated or interested enough to do anything - bot creation, talking in discord, replying to comments, etc. I can't say when I will feel up to working on things again or catching up on comments, but I will eventually. I'm just feeling very pushed down into the dirt by life right now. I'll get back up again soon, and continue on. I already have bots that are sitting in WIP, I just haven't felt like finishing them right now - but I will soon.

Thanks again for your understanding, patience, and kindness. I hope to keep talking to you all soon, and resume creating and sharing content with all of you. ❤️

I hope you're all doing well, and that you will continue to enjoy using my bots for a very long time to come. Best wishes for you, I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by to read this rambling announcement bot. Talk to you again soon 💕
