hello Beehaw, it’s a sleepy morning–and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we’ll see

  • There has been a lil bad and a decent amount of good this week so far

    My job’s treating us poorly even though we’re making the company massive profits in the millions. I would like to leave but I think I’ve been in this dead end position too long. I might need to re skill but I have no idea what I would like/what would pay enough.

    The weekend was busy but a lot of fun. Got to go to my first anime convention. Only went for one day when I could have easily gone for the whole weekend. Next year I’ll do that. It was nice because I haven’t gone to any events like that for probably about 5 years or so. Usually I’m not tired at night but both Saturday and Sunday night I fell asleep right away which was kind of nice for a change.

      I don’t know what kind of jobs your in and how your job market is right now, but it never hurts to take a look at your resume and maybe look around for other jobs while still in the “comfort” of a paying job.

      Glad to hear you visited a social gathering and enjoyed it. I’ve had some social experiences recently which have given me some positivity in my life and I am glad to see you have too.

      Do you watch anime too, by chance? If so, may I ask which one(s)?

      • Currently things are a bit iffy for me. I originally went to school for web development, but from what I have seen it seems like people want a “unicorn developer” that can do everything.

        I’ve still sent my resume out to a few places where I thought I could still fit or make it work but I haven’t gotten any replies back yet. I’m currently in a role that doesn’t use those skills but is much more teaching focused. I provide technical support with a program/tool that was made by the company I work for. So that knowledge can kind of carry over to other areas, but it’s more soft skills if that makes sense.

        But yeah it was a very mentally refreshing experience to go to a convention! I’ve watched a variety of things, probably too many to list. But some of my Favorites have been Soul Eater, Air Gear, Naruto, Steins Gate, JoJo’s Bizarre adventure, all of Studio Ghibli’s catalogue
