Lost a full 20 pounds since June. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, chronic obesity.

No, that is a ham, quit smoking that!

First official day at the new job. Great place, better work and better pay than my previous employers. I should have solid employment now compared to the shitfest that was the past year and a half.

Hey there new runner buddy! :hf:

Related: this morning I tipped the scale at 80 kg (176 pounds). The last time I weighed this little was when I was 19, seven years ago :woop:

Played Magic: The Gathering with a bunch of friends with a deck I haven't touched in a couple years. Got out a Panoptic Mirror plus Temporal Extortion combo on turn 6. No one was running counter spells or a burn deck. Infinite turns unless someone pays half their life rounded up. Then it happens again my next normal turn. So much fun.

^Happy belated birthday, Forceholy!

We didn't get rain this week while the rest of the state did. So, it's a beautiful morning and the hardest thing I had to do this weekend - a dentist appointment - took all of 45 minutes. A little business now, a lot of football and a party later, and plenty of glorious free time before Monday morning.

Quoting myself because I saw one of my former coworkers at the gym today. She said that the workplace I left went to hell, including the firing of the office manager, sales manager, and receptionist. That's three out of seven office staff. That place is and forever will be a disaster. I hope she gets a better job soon.

Decided to splurge today and got Mcdonalds. I love the Monopoly pieces and won a free Quarter Pounder. I have a few food stamp pieces already and plan to give them to a homeless guy next time I'm in town.

Buckyballs are on loving sale!

Found some tins and wrapping I had bought and put away for Xmas and forgot about. Am mostly done with my holiday shopping so I can relax in December.

Ordered the wrong CD off of Amazon, but the wrong CD sounds pretty drat good still.

Found Godiva chocolate at Michael's. Used 40% off coupon on the bag. Got another 40% off coupon after paying. I may be able to fill a few stockings with Godiva and Lindor truffles with this.

Tonight, I hung out with a really good friend of mine who I haven't seen in almost half a year, because he graduated and moved back home last spring. I also discovered that I am no longer in love with said friend, who is gay. I'm so done pining over guys I can't have! (For the moment.)

Surprised my mom by having yardwork done a day early, so she didn't have to do it on her one day off this week.

Fed ALL the snakes today (minor unawesome moment was getting bit once).

The joy that comes from your period almost being over so you have another three weeks before dealing with the hormones again.

Typing, deleting, typing, and finally erasing and closing the last email to an ex-friend who blew me off over a year ago. I don't need to worry about her or hope she's all right: she's the one who ended things with me and I am not under any obligation to help her do anything anymore.

Talked with an old boss and had a good conversation, no stress.

And joined a betta club in town and got to meet a bunch of cool betta breeders!

Today was super productive and instructive and I realized when it was over that every day, even weekdays, could be like this if I learn not to let little obstacles slow me down and turn off the TV/social media more often.

For the past 8 years I've worked for the same company. Pretty small company, maybe 300 people. Was way less than that when I started. I've hated it for 8 years because it's not what I want to do, but I could never find a job where I want to be.

Today I had a first round phone interview with an awesome company that I'd love to be a part of. Everyone in this thread has definitely heard of them as they're world-wide. I felt like I really nailed the interview and felt great coming out the other end of it.

A little while ago I sent a thank you email to the lady that I spoke with. I normally send a hand-written one but this lady mentioned she worked from home and I wasn't about to ask for her home address. About 30 minutes later I got a call from their HR director in the area telling me that she was told I had a fantastic interview and that the lady I originally spoke to loved the message I sent her. Said it was a lost courtesy to send a follow-up thank you message and it really went a long way.

She told me they wanted to get me in ASAP to meet with me and I now have a second round interview on Friday morning. I'm trying really hard not to get excited but this is everything I want in a company and if I end up getting the job I will lose my god drat mind.
