no gettin' offa this train we're on
Yesterday should have been my last day at my old job, but it wasn't because of lockdown. Which makes me even more mad that my boss wouldn't take my keys when I asked him a week ago (it's almost like I knew what was coming, heh), but he said to give them to the assistant manager this week and, well, yeah.
So at some point when everything reopens again, I will have to go into old work to drop off my keys. I thought about taking them off my keyrings, but I'm p sure I'd mislay them, even if I put them in a safe place. So I guess they'll have to stay put for the next who knows long. (At least I only have one key for the new place, so it's not like I'll get muddled with which is which).

My new paints came yesterday, though! So that was a nice surprise! I didn't realise how dark all the colours were till I came to unwrap them, though - it's a good job the colour names are printed on the side, because otherwise I wouldn't know. Especially not with the Payne's Grey and the indigo, which seem like pretty much the same colour (I know indigo is a very dark blue, but this seems almost black, and I'm not sure I'm happy about that. But at least I have some blues I can mix it with to get the right colour).

Finally, another Post Once a Day question:

forests_of_fire asked: Is there a piece of media that you go to when you need comfort?
Predominantly music (to nobody's surprise!) My three most listened to things are game soundtracks (again, to nobody's surprise), and they are FFXII, FFVII, and Spyro the Dragon.
I used to listen to the Skyrim soundtrack a lot for the same reasons, until I found out (just over a year ago), that the composer is a ginormous asshat (which is putting it extremely mildly), so now I don't listen to it, and that was a difficult thing to do because it was absolutely one of my go to "I feel shit, let's listen to this!" soundtracks.
But the other three I've mentioned are my "I don't know necessarily what to listen to, let's put this on" go tos.
The FFVII soundtrack just has such good memories associated with it, even though I was in a really bad place the first time I played it (and some of the tracks are frikken BOPS, y'all. Those Who Fight Further and Jenova's boss fight music are just...*chef's kiss* I could probably talk about it all day, but I won't).
FFXII I've just listened to so much that's extremely familiar and comforting (my faves here are An Imminent Threat and Near the Water (BONUS CHIPTUNE VERSION, as well as Battle for Freedom, which is the final boss music. Again, I could probably talk about this ALL DAY).
Spyro just makes me think of happy fun times, because that's what the first game is to me (I can't pick faves, the whole thing is good :D)
