Job interview went reasonably well, I think. Cautiously optimistic.

My fingers are crossed for you.Job interview went reasonably well, I think. Cautiously optimistic.
It worked better when I lived out in the country. I had a therapist to talk to, but on the other hand living where I didn’t know anybody made my depression worse, so on the whole the move was positive. Also I live in a bigger apartment now, so I have space for the TV (big table for playing games was obviously prioritized over the TV).And here I thought someone had hit the sprinkler with a copy of Empire of the Petal Throne. I was going to complement the choice of reading material.
raniE: very sorry to learn about your troubles and I hope the health care system there starts supporting you better immediately.
My fingers are crossed for you.
No, but apparently I have the same shoe related habits as one, so that must be it. Congrats on the call back too! That's exciting.Are you a wizard? 'Cause I just got a call for a follow-up interview this Saturday afternoon.
(Which means I'm going to have to cancel the Saturday game for the teens. Realistically, if I get the job I'll have to start working Saturdays, so the SB&CS game will need to be moved to Sundays or put on hiatus).
Oh man tiling sucks. I don't envy you.I am in the middle of getting my bathroom replaced, so we have stuff everywhere, except in the bathroom.
We now have a bath, which we can apparently use, but my wife says not until all the tiling is done. Hopefully the shower will be fitted tomorrow or Monday.

If the UK is imaginary then the 13 American colonies are imaginary. And if the 13 colonies are imaginary then the Founders are imaginary. And if the Founders are imaginary how can we have a USA?That's insane. My Visa is a specific Amazon branded Visa card where I get extra cash back for buying at Amazon. You must live in an imaginary place.
We don't. Personally I'm a Littorian Accountant for the Imperial Waste DepartmentIf the UK is imaginary then the 13 American colonies are imaginary. And if the 13 colonies are imaginary then the Founders are imaginary. And if the Founders are imaginary how can we have a USA?
What ladi-daw land do you live in?! I'm a proud subject of the Dominion of North America. God save the Queen!If the UK is imaginary then the 13 American colonies are imaginary.

At least two of my credit cards have switched from Visa to Mastercard over the past few years. Maybe Visa has been getting full of themselves.So I see Amazon is threatening to stop accepting Visa cards from 19 Jan. Oh, my first world problems!
Fortunately, Compare the Market is happy to offer me a Mastercard with a disturbingly high credit limit and a 21.9% APR. What a time to be alive!
We're also talking Amazon which is notorious for constantly trying to decrease costs. Visa will probably relent and decrease fees or Amazon will setup its own Credit Card division.MasterCard also has some serious clout with Citibank backing (IIRC). Who knows what sort of shenanigans is going on behind closed doors? That said SWIFT global marketshare has been recently weakened with global saber-rattling, so this might be a downstream effect of marketshare contraction. The drying river has the big sturgeons fight for best territory...
Oh, I didn't do it myself, I have learned that lesson.Oh man tiling sucks. I don't envy you.
This is a P-Shaped bath, so lots of room at the tap end, which is where I normally sit. More space than the old shower as well.Baths are never big enough for me in this country. I can't remember the last time I had a bath big enough to lie down and soak properly in.
I misread my brother's messages the first time: he already is in the rehabilitation center but has to remain in quarantine there until he's 48 hours symptom free. They're awaiting his new covid test results, but he'll have to be free of symptoms regardless.My dad's move to a rehabilitation center was postponed because of a Covid case at the hospital. His test came back negative but now he has cold symptoms and some fever. He's fully vaccinated, but will have to wait and remain in quarantine until he's 48 hours symptom free before he can be moved.
Congratulations! Best of luck!Went in for an hour or so for the follow-up. At the end they asked me when I could start.
I'm now printing out a 2-week resignation notice to drop off at the current employer before they close tonight.
I'm sorry to hear that. I hope he gets well.EDIT: His test came back positive. My brother, who has been visiting him, also went into quarantine and will get himself tested, as will his girlfriend.
They're all fully vaccinated. My dad is in his late 70s. So far his symptoms don't seem too serious: sore throat, runny nose, some fever.I'm sorry to hear that. I hope he gets well.
That's good. My maternal grandparents both recently got covid. They're both vaxxed and my grnadmother has similar symptoms. My grandfather has bronchitis symptoms though.They're all fully vaccinated. My dad is in his late 70s. So far his symptoms don't seem too serious: sore throat, runny nose, some fever.
Congratulations, Tulpa Girl! Hope the new gig is excellent!

Praying that you recover quick, fast and in a hurry with minimal pain.Broke my fucking couch yesterday. When everyone else got up (in a hurry) I failed; it didn't hurt, especially, but it was like trying to hyperextend a joint past its normal range of motion.
My girlfriend and I have been shopping for replacements for the couch, but my wheelchair cannot arrive soon enough.
Pain and swelling have been better than average, really, which makes this even scarier.
Somebody, maybe T The Butcher, needs to invent a 2 hour cardio session in a pill form. They would make billions!I woke up feeling super productive today so rented a storage unit and just started moving all the stuff from my storage room into it. Want to put a place to fold laundry and some exercise equipment into our storage room... which is legitimately a large room it was just filled with a bunch of junk. Gonna move it all out, then organize it at the storage place over time. (I know I'm lying to myself, it will get organized when I die).
I just really want a place to workout cause 1. I hated going to the gym even pre-COVID, cause I don't like going out, and 2. Going to the gym is even less in the cards for me now.
At the moment, moving all the boxes is a pretty solid workout though.
It's called amphetemines.Somebody, maybe T The Butcher, needs to invent a 2 hour cardio session in a pill form. They would make billions!
I’d stand to benefit. Lifting weights is okay but cardio I find a bit boring.Somebody, maybe T The Butcher, needs to invent a 2 hour cardio session in a pill form. They would make billions!
TIL there are jacarandas in Australia.A bridal party just pulled up outside my house to have wedding photos taken in my street. Perhaps because of the jacarandas.
That's something you don't see every day.
They're pretty widespread. They're iconic in parts of South Africa, for example.I’d stand to benefit. Lifting weights is okay but cardio I find a bit boring.

Fixed that for you.I’d stand to benefit. Lifting weights is okay but cardio I find a bit boring.
TIL there are jacarandas in Australia trying to kill you*.
What does a drop bear do to hide in a Jacaranda?Fixed that for you.
*Because everything in Australia is trying to kill you. So it reasons that a plant transplanted to Australia would go all Audrey II from "Little Shop of Horrors". "Feed me Seymour!"
