then it's back to work a g a i n

I'm back to work this week. My boss called yesterday to say he and the assistant manager are in from tomorrow, and he'll call me to let me know when I need to come in. And then we'll be open to the public again from Monday.

I'm not happy but...I can't really argue. I want to, but I also want to keep my job.

On the bright side, I won't have to work Sundays for several months (although that's my only paid day, so I assume they're going to change it to a different day. I guess I will find out next time I talk to my boss).

Yesterday I spent the morning doing test prints for my Etsy shop. Some of them worked, and some of them didn't, and that's okay. I'm very pleased that one of my recent papercuts printed out really nicely (I hoped it would, because it's one of my favourites I've done recently).

I thought once I get photos done, I'd upload them in batches of four a month, which is what I think I used to do with stuff I made the last time I had my shop open. It feels familiar, anyway. I have no plans to open the shop yet, and I'm undecided as to whether to keep it to UK only for the time being or not. I also need to make decisions about my redbubble shop, which has woefully not been updated for...many years. And nobody ever bought anything from it, so it kind of feels redundant.

In FFV news, I am about to cross the Shifting Sands? That deserty bit by the Library of the Ancients, anyway. Got to fight a big ugly worm!

Bartz is back at being a knight, after a stint as a white mage; Galuf is a spellsword (but I'm not really finding it that useful of a job); Faris is a thief, after being a blue mage long enough to learn Learning; Lenna is a red mage.

I'm currently annoyed that I bought Esuna in Lix, and no-one has good enough white magic skills to use it (I guess it's a level four spell? Lenna has up to level 3, so I might have to switch her back for a bit. Although I haven't really needed it as yet, apart from that one area near Jachol with the Bio Knights, who keep nearly wiping me out because of casting Bio, blergh).

Also, it's twenty plus years later, and I'm pretty sure nobody knows how to pronounce Krile (Kururu, yes. Krile, no).

I've been meaning to ask you what tools you use for the paper cuttings because your shapes are so good. Every time you post pictures of them I'm just impressed by the sharpness of your cuts :)

The classic way to cheese Omega involves a spellsword, so there's that.

Bio Knights are some of my most unfavorite enemies because it's too easy to lose to them. Ugh.

There's a Krile in FFXIV so now I pronounce it the way they do in that game, which is Cry-L.

Good luck with the Etsy store!

As far as Krile, I go with the pronunciation from the same name in FFXIV, which is "cry-ll." I figure it's as close to canon as we're ever getting.

Oooh, thank you! I use a number 10 scalpel blade (plus handle, obvs) and try not to let the blade go blunt, which means changing it as soon as it feels like I have to press hard to get it to cut.

[muladhara]

Ahhh, I didn't know that, but I've never attempted to fight any version of Omega (at least, not on purpose - I might have accidentally run into him some time in the past). Good to know!

Ohhh. Hmm, guess I'd better stop saying Krill-ee then.

Thank you!

[muladhara]

Aye, I guess so!
