good news everybody!

I've got another Bluesky invite code if anyone wants it?

In other news: GUESS WHO FINALLY HAS A PAYING JOB AGAIN????

Oh yes, it is me. It is unfortunately not a library job, but it is a job and it pays me money, so I am not going to complain about it. I've only been there a week so far, but it seems to be going okay? I have a lot to learn, since it's not the same environment I've been in for the last four years, but I am sort of getting the hang of it. I think.

My shift end times don't line up with the buses on a lot of occasions, but that's the bus company's fault, not my job's. And anyway, I've been saying for years now that I want to get a bike, and this would be the perfect excuse to have one (although with the weather being like it is today - heavily raining - I wouldn't want to cycle there and back anyway).

I don't know if I will have the time or mental space to continue doing a bit at my voluntary job, but I said I'd let my boss there know once I had more of an idea of what my shifts would be like. Which I can't do at the moment as she is on holiday abroad.

Also I forgot to mention this when it happened, but my mood has improved a bit! I think it is the time of year - I've never liked summer, and that feeling's increased exponentially as the weather's changed for the worse over the years, so I think my worst period of the year now is late spring/all summer.

I dare say getting a job has helped, but I noticed the shift in my mood happened even before I knew I'd got it.

In video games news: I am into the fourth Palace in P5R, and I noticed that I am WAY overlevelled. Most of the enemies are a good five levels below everyone. This is not because I've been grinding, but I think because Akira has the accessory that gives 15% extra EXP, and also I have the extra EXP active in Mementos. I'm tempted to take it off and equip him with something else instead but also, IDK, I like not having too many problems in an Atlus game :D

I also started watching a Let's Play of Silent Hill, because it is spooky season, and because I love it. I haven't finished watching it yet, but I probably will today or tomorrow, since it's not a long game.
