Big part of why I moved to technical program/project management. I don't need to be an expert anymore, I just need to be able to speak the same language as the experts.

Fixed mine. Thanks for the heads up

Painting of Link with a million little gadgets and weapons from across the games. I worked harder on this in a 5 week period than any other thing I’ve ever painted. I think I almost died working on this lol

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

Temptation to stay in bed all day is high. I've never actually done that except when sick though.

I need to get up at some point and pack for tomorrow's trip however. Heading to corporate hq for annual team face to face sessions. Got hired just in time to attend.

Every so often I forget to take my meds before bed. My anti depressant is also a sleep med. When I forget it insomnia tends to hit... been awake since 2am, gonna be a long day.

Blech, they are looking for someone whose desperate, not someone who will actually be good at the job.

Entry level position must have a masters and 5 years experience pays minimum wage.... Seems to be more and more common, though makes Zero sense.

Laptop turned in. Officially done with AWS after 14+ years

If you're ever down near federal way try "Gogi on the Go"

One of my favorite spots

It's official, I have a start date! Will give notice to my current employer Monday.

The last of the new job waiting game is ongoing. Waiting for the formal offer letter to arrive so I can give notice at the current job. Woohoo

You're welcome!!

Thank you

I got the frickin job!!!

Interviews are officially over. Overall feeling pretty positive about how things went. Now just waiting to hear back from the recruiter once they've reached a decision.

Today's interviews went pretty well I think. Two more to get through tomorrow. Then the waiting game for a decision. Either way I'll be glad to be on the other side of the interviews.

I approve of pocket jellybeans.

Just putting that on record.

I approve of pocket jelly beans!!

First contact was 11/26, so yeah over a month now. Finish line is finally in sight at least.

After two weeks of no momentum due to the holidays, I got contacted today to schedule the final round of interviews.

That round is scheduled for next week, so hopefully I should know something one way or the other in a couple weeks.

Been in a funk all day, but it's late enough in the day to justify going to bed. Sleep usually helps, hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

It really does

Dogs realized I was awake, so they got up/ fed early, now just laying in bed passing time to a more reasonable hour to be awake at.

One of the rare times I want the weekend to be over quicker, even weirder cause it's a holiday weekend I normally enjoy those. But waiting on interview news so...

Wow

Merry Christmas Eve! I hope your work days are short and unproductive so you can all celebrate with friends and family.

Things that effect my finances, employment, etc... I have zero patience for.. I really shouldn't be glancing at my phone every 2 minutes hoping to see the email notification. But here we are lol

The waiting for word/next steps is always the hardest part of interviewing.
