boing zoom dakota!

Oh my word I feel like I have had SUCH a week. I've been busy every day since last Friday, and not sleeping well, and basically I've been running on fumes! (I hate this; every time I feel like this now, I have no idea how I managed when I was like this for longer periods in the past).

Friday I worked, Saturday I had to go shopping for clothes/shoes because I had an upcoming interview, and barely any smart clothes. Sunday I was working, as I was on Monday. Tuesday I had the interview, then went food shopping, and Wednesday I was working. Today is the first day I'm not doing anything.

Add to this that for several of the nights, I did not sleep well. I've slept better since Monday, but it's still been broken sleep so it's not been great.

I also think that I still haven't adjusted to the clocks going back, even though it's nearly two weeks ago now.

I didn't get the job I interviewed for. Partly because I haven't had an interview in ten years, partly because I didn't know what I would be asked, and partly because I don't have the confidence/skill level for the job right now. All of which is fair, and I didn't disagree with anything that was said because it's all true.

I watched Back to the Future on Saturday, although to say I actually watched it is not accurate. It just kind of happened while I was in the room (I did watch the last fifteen to twenty minutes, though, because I always do, because even though I've seen this film SO MANY times, it always grips me). I didn't bother with the sequels, though. It's not like they're going anywhere; I can watch them another time.

Also one of my work colleagues mentioned D&D-ing again, and offered to DM, and somehow I came up with an idea for a character. They are, in part, based on the villain from my Webcomic Which Will Never Happen, and I am kind of excite! However, they are an elf, and a random tweet I saw the next day reminded me that actually I wanted to play a tabaxi (because, yanno, I'll try to be a cat person wherever possible) and I don't think the character would fit a tabaxi. I don't know! I am going to think about this some more.

And finally, I bought myself used copies of Ni No Kuni and Kingdoms of Amalur to give them a go. I didn't like the demo of Amalur when I played it way back when, but I'm going to give it another go. I've been thinking about doing that for a while, but one of the presenters on Outside Xbox is well into it, and extremely enthusiastic about it, and I think her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me. So. That's two more games for the backlog!

And now I'm done, because this feels like a long post, even if it isn't.

Wow, that's a lot to have going on! I'm sorry you didn't get the job, but the interviewing is still good experience. And now you have interview clothes ready to go for the next one!

Yay for new D&D character!
