beansideAhhh, it's Friday. Got to sleep in til 8, thanks to my lovely Jess getting up. I have a bit of a sore throat and congestion, so I did take a (thankfully negative) covid test. The sore throat seems to be a bit better after coffee, so I'm guessing it's from allergies and will improve through the day as they do. It's not bad enough to keep me from playing tonight, whatever, I just might need to have something with sugar handy.
Work yesterday was not horrible. I mean, I still hated being there, but I was mostly busy, so it wasn't bad. With some help from my team, we were able to get up to date on the Delivery Updates for the first time in 3 days, so that was good. I have one more day of doing updates on Sunday, and then M will be back, and I will gratefully hand them off.
My interview will be on next Thursday, the 4th. I got the confirmation yesterday morning. I went online and found a cute top at Nordstrom, which will hopefully fit well. I technically didn't need another shirt for the interview. I've never really bought from Nordstrom, so I'm hoping it fits well. If it does, awesome, if it doesn't, then I have a backup. I do have to decide what I'm doing for shoes, though. I have sandals or boots. I guess the question is whether I want to blow the cash on a pedicure. I'll probably stick with the boots, honestly. I'm still kind of working on the assumption that this job is probably way out of my league, but dammit, I'm going to give it my best try.
It's with one of the big managers, so that's a little nervewracking. Like four levels above me. I immediately bugged my former manager, to ask what the bigwig valued (numbers, results, IKEA Values) and we had a nice thirty minute discussion that started with the phrase "This talk never happened." I guess he doesn't want to show too much favoritism on the off chance that we do end up going back to him. But I know I'm his favorite anyway. The dude I'm interviewing with is his bosses boss, so he's had a little bit of exposure. So, I have a few strategies at least.
After work, we went to the dispensary and got Jess some more weed. They're trying some new strains that are supposed to be good for pain, and holy hell, they're stinky. I'd gotten used to Black Afghan that is only mildly stinky, but Bubba Kush and Kush Mints are both very...pungent. If it works and helps their pain, that would be great. They've been working on a multi-day migraine, and I feel so bad for them. Honestly, going with them to fetch new weed is kind of the least that I can do. They haven't tried the new stuff yet, so we'll see how well they work.
While we were out, we stopped at the really good snowball stand and got snowshakes, so that was happy making.
Tonight, we have D&D! Frostmaiden, which is always a good time. For a change, they're playing part of the module, albeit in a slightly sideways way, but that's okay.
Okay, time to get more coffee and consider putting on a pair of leggings and a tank top. Maybe. Have a great Friday everyone!
