got an interview this afternoon past the recruiter phase. wish me luck.

How did it go?
sounds like I will get another so not no yet but not yes yet either. Par for the course.
It sucks. I'm reviewing for a board exam, but I can't for the life of me focus for an entire day. I can only study in the mornings, and anytime after that I get so sleepy and easily distracted. It's been like this for weeks now, so much that I'm way behind on the study schedule.
I tried journalling, exercising, and listening to ambient noise to improve focus and energy to no avail. Ugh, the exam date is still far ahead but I feel like I'll surely fail.
Hm, sorry to hear...
thanks, man
Pretty mid tbh, failed my driving test which is pretty shit but apparently very common around here. Made a pretty cool python script to monitor test cancellations so I can swoop in and do a new attempt, otherwise I'd have to wait like three months, so silver lining I guess.
Sorry about the driving test
Been in a kind of rut to be honest. I love Autumn, but the times know how to make you think of certain ongoing social issues with more emphasis.
Was going well but a hiccup today, got rear ended a few hours ago. My car will need some repair but it’s drivable. I’m at the walkin now getting a shoulder X-ray and painkillers. Likely just a muscle strain. What a way to almost start the weekend.
Oof. Glad to hear you are okay, and hope your muscle strain feels better soon.
I think my friend I always talk to on Lemmy has passed away, he had cancer and was on a palliative ward when we last talked due to fungal infection, and was awaiting debulking surgery for the tumour. I'll miss you friend. Your messages made me feel happy.
Good: Off work tomorrow because my wife is doing her US naturalization / oath of citizenship ceremony and then we're spending the weekend on a paddling/camping trip.
Bad: Grandma was diagnosed with bowel cancer and has less than 6 months to live.
Oof, what a roller coaster. I wish the best for all of you.
Had a fairly important work deadline that was supposed to be end of this month. Unfortunately, I didn't read institutional policies carefully enough, and institutional fuckery mandates that they receive all the documents one week prior. So my actual deadline is like next Monday
So yeah, I'll be working this entire weekend... at least the good news is I can probably get two free days off by the end of this month (which I wanted to do anyway)
