What's going on in your life?

One month to be officially unemployed! Pressure starting to creep in, but I am hopeful. Need to move my a** now.

any plan?

Improve my confidence and just go for it.

More a mental block that I have.

One thing I didn't see coming though... a couple of years ago, out of the blue, I again picked up one of those Japanese shooter games I used to play around 2009-2011 (my heydays here on CN, I'm pretty sure) and looked for others to play competitively with, something I never tried before. To keep things short, I found a very niche community to join (considering the game is 20 years old in an already niche genre), I've made several new acquaintances (both local and international) that I have been to events with, and I've entered the Swedish championships twice. I guess the moral of this little story is to not be afraid to look if there's something you want to find, chances are you're not alone.

But enough about that, big congratulations to you! Wishing your family all the best and good luck with the house*, there's clearly some real potential there!

*I'll actually be looking into buying a house one of these coming years so I'll take your progress as inspiration!

Mr. Anderson - that's how I first remember you! Playing those mental shooters where there's a billion bullets on the screen to dodge! You shared some videos and I was amazed

Sorry to hear that Realjuan - I've been in a similar situation, keep your head up and pushing through, it will work out!

Well another week, more DIY. This time me and the father-in-law working out how to put up ceiling joists (old ones were tiny and skinny). Not done that before so spent most of the time figuring out what we needed to do, and only one joist up by the end of the day...but at least we know what we're doing and next week will get the rest up.

Otherwise I finished Metroid Prime Remastered (loved it again!), was annoyed they didn't remaster MP2 or MP3, and then decided to replay (and complete this time) Metroid Dread!

After almost 3 month of trying to avoid it. I have submitted 3 job applications, and waiting for replies.
Gets easier after you start, for anyone else with metal blocks.

I been waiting 7 months to write this message.

Today is the last day or my test period, but I already know that I passed. I didnt want to jinx it by posting before, but now I can get it out. Thanks a lot for your words of encouragement and for having a place to vent out. I know I am not the most active member here, but I am glad I am a member. The months without a job where a great learning experience and showed me whats really important in my life.

Congrats!

I'll cast a curse on your company so they have to keep you until death.

May the new job bring you the stability you deserve, so you can focus on the important.

Congratulations again!
