Jobs, being wanted and not
This past month has been busy and wonderful as I was able to get a temp job at one of the local college libraries. Its been so good to be in a library and a community where I felt like I fit. Its an all woman's college, other librarians are great geeks and I knew they saw the good work I was doing. The project itself wasn't very well thought out on their end, they're working on accessibility but in very bulk ways, I was taking on one of those large parts. My contract ended yesterday and I left them lots of write ups and thoughts to move forward. I think they really would like to hire me for longer but their budget was only set out for this amount of time. And they need to rethink how they're approaching what they're doing. I knew it was coming, but it ended up hitting me harder than I expected.
Part of this is outside of them, Thursday was a horrible rainstorm which made my commute horrible and I stopped to go grocery shopping. By the time, I got home, I was feeling awful and I'd started the day achey and sore. Then I overslept on Friday, which wasn't too big a deal, I let them know I'd be late and took a shorter lunch. Still I felt bad as being late is one of those things for me. So to be low and then find out, that was my last day, was rough.
Today was another mix of good and bad, where I had a nice long sleep, a good phone call with my family. This is the day of my dad's 80th birthday party, which due to work wasn't able to make. Last weekend when my parents were up here, we did some birthday stuff which was nice. I sent off some packages to online friends of silly Star Wars' stuff and then treated myself to brunch at a cafe I liked.
On my way home, I was hoping to catch this roving Pokemon group as I often pass by the other way from them on Saturdays. I was and was in a raid and asked if there was a chat, one nice guy gave me an invite. So I was all excited, then it turns out that nope, not an all teams server just one and not mine. Left a quick message of sorry about not knowing and hopped out again. It sucks because I'm in the area, I've played in raids with these people but not for me.
In better than I expected news, the Narnia fic exchange has an extension which I needed but hadn't even thought of asking for. I have the bones of a good story and now can make it better. I meant to do more writing last weekend but family ended up being wonderful and tiring. I'll see how I do this weekend.
Life has been a lot.
