beanside | So take my hand if you trust that we will do what we must

So much for my quiet day. One of my coworkers had an emergency come up for today, and asked if anyone wanted his shift, so of course I jumped for it and will be working from 8-12. Of course, equally predictable, I slept for shit after playing Strahd, so I very grudgingly heaved myself out of bed this morning.

Yesterday was really good. Not horribly busy at work and the patients were much less annoying. And then, just before lunch, I got a message from the team's trainer, asking if I was available to shadow again on Monday. Twist, I'm going to do the job, and she's going to shadow me. I of course said yes. But afterwards, I started wondering what this all means. I'm still in the running, obviously. But the way she explained it, I'll be doing it on my computer. That would mean that they're going to have to get me access to the inbox and into the RADSET system. That seems like a lot of permissions from IT for a simple tryout. So, I'm thinking I might be on a very short list at this point. And that's terrifying and exciting. It's going to be my full shift, so they're giving me a good tryout. I am 100% freaking out about it. I think I'd really like the job. It's helping my coworkers, and also spreadsheets and tracking errors that my team makes. I know I'd like the pay bump.

So that sailed me through the work day. Then afterwork, I drove over to the Local in White Marsh. My sister sold her old car to Carvanna, and got $4500 for it, so she splurged on dinner. SO much food, y'all. I ate WAY more than I should have, and as usual, Rybelsus made me pay. I'm still a bit queasy this morning, but hopefully it'll settle down soon.

Then it was time for Strahd. They did a bit of searching in the catecombs, but zeroed in on the walled off tomb pretty quickly. And then, it was time to kick of the big fight. Allies, his horse, lair actions, the whole nine yards. And with all that, Strahd still went down, only knocking one player down to zero hit points. (It was Jess. It's always Jess.) He went down to our bard's casting of Synaptic Static, and the land was free once again. It's always bittersweet to end a campaign, but that was helped by the knowledge that we have Vecna waiting in the wings.

Today, I'm going to work for a few hours, and then I may take a nap before our movie at 4.

We'll see! For now, time to get myself together for work. Everyone have an excellent Saturday!
