Also… I was missing my dog a lot last week. So I got another dog… albeit… something is off about him. Not sure what, tho.
Well… At 9:54a I received an email inviting me to the second interview.
It just got real.
They want me to basically do a mock project for the position as part of the interview. This is both uncharted and exciting territory.
Salmone Diem.
I sat there playing OOT, and I thought to myself… “Holy cow, it’s so cool to see the leaves fall from the sky and land on the ground.”
And then I complete the first dungeon… and now I can’t help but notice the falling leaves have changed colours for THAT FREAKING REASON…
I’m devastated.
Again, first time playing OOT.
Slight, but significant, life update…
Had a good interview today for a position that’d be a dream job. Was told if I got selected for round two, I’d need to travel to have an in-person interview. But, most importantly, the job would require a move to Philadelphia in 2027.
Story (Ocarina of) Time:
Was at GameStop last night for the midnight release. Right?
I ask for two copies, as I was picking up one for a friend whom was far smarter with her desire for sleep than I. The new kid, less than two weeks in his job, asks if I had a preorder. We banter and chat as he pulls up my account and he goes to pick up two copies from the stack of games on the counter. I am a little apprehensive, because I wanted to get the foil versions.
Mind you, there is a stack of about twenty copies of OOT, all standard editions. That’s what he was pulling from. However, to the left of that stack, I notice there is a box of additional copies… probably thirty or so… BUT, I then see they are all foil special editions. When I realise what’s happening, I get even more nervous.
When I tell him I didn’t have a preorder, he apologises profusely… I then hear the store manager telling someone else asking for a foil edition copy, that she doesn’t have any at her store. I begin to sweat bullets, and my eyes dart back and forth in disbelief from her to the box filled with foil copies.
The kid then places the two standard copies back onto the pile set aside for preorders, and then pulls from the box of foils. I have a pit in my stomach… something feels off. He is completely oblivious and cheery, and rings me out. Meanwhile, the manager has told two more people that she doesn’t have foils while she gives the folks whom were there for the preorders the standard edition copies.
I think the kid unwittingly saved me from a con. He is my hero!
Needless to say, the cover is beautiful beyond belief. We need more foils in life!
“What are you fribbiting fools doing out here so dang late at night?! And invading my chilling place, no less. Rude!!”
Alright. First in line at GS. There’s about four people behind me who smell like stale vapes, monster energy drinks, and haven’t showered in a few days.
ITS GONNA BE A LATE NIGHT! (But a good one)
Best Buy has about 30 people lined up out front. While the GameStop across the street is deader than a door nail.
Both are supposed to be open at midnight.
Oh boy…
Rained out on the job site today. Now I need to find a way to preoccupy myself and not be like a kid before Christmas all day before I pickup OOT at midnight. lol
Oof!
I AM SCREAMING. SOME OF MY FAVOURITE POKEMON ARE COMING!!!!
Make core memories in #PokemonPokopia with the Apples to Applin event! 🍎🍏🥧
Collect Syrupy Apples for Applin and exchange them for apple-themed items you can use to befriend Flapple, Appletun, Dipplin, and Hydrapple too! 📅: November 16 at 5AM to December 1 at 4:59AM
People need to realise that if you want change or your convictions upheld, you cannot hand over the totality of your responsibility and agency to someone else. If so, you’re in for a world of hurt, disappointment, and ultimately… betrayal.
Senator Amidala was right.
A prime example of Boy-math.
Which, to my chagrin, I practice both it and Girl-math from time to time…
A view from work today, and what I’m listening to.
Bitter but sweet as my time with this job begins to wind down. Thankful something existed while it did, that’s what matters.
To most, November 1st is the day we fall back.
To those of real class, it is the day we celebrate the return of the Queen of Christmas!
It may be the end of the month, but Happy Pec-tober!
I’m ecstatic for the holiday season being in full swing. Not a huge Halloween person, so I’m gonna do some Christmas decorating this evening.
