now my mind and my chi are depending on me thinking singularly
So! Some updates.
> I've started a new job! Finally. After all kinds of things almost happening and then falling through, hahaha let's not dwell on that. It worked out for the best because this new job is probably the best I could hope for in current circumstances. It is another call center job but it is fully remote so I don't have to worry about being asked to relocate to an in-office position and (this is the best part) I am not in a customer-facing position. When I got the offer letter I was under the impression I was being hired as a customer-service rep based on, you know, my past few years' experience, but then I actually got in and they were like 'no we actually want you to manage schedule adherence for the CSRs' and as someone who haaates talking to strangers and talking on the phone but had resigned herself to it because of the need for health insurance and steady paychecks, this is so ideal. The pay is also great and I really like my team and the benefits haven't kicked in yet but they will soon and that will be such a relief.
> I have scheduled my vaccine! First shot this Monday! That will also be a massive relief!
> I feel like I should put something fannish here but there's not really anything fannish going on for me right now. Still patiently waiting for news of a Doctor Who air date. The first installment of the Ninth Doctor Adventures should be coming next month, so I'm excitedly anticipating that. Dropkick Murphys' new album comes out on Friday -- I don't know if that counts as fannish, but it's also something I'm excitedly anticipating. Taylor Swift dropped Fearless (Taylor's Version) which was superfun to revisit and I enjoyed the new tracks but also this weird gray area of this album I already know very well -- I was 20 when it originally came out! (And it's not exactly my favorite of her projects; I'm very interested in seeing the rerecorded RED and Speak Now, though.) As far as TV goes, most of the CW DC shows are currently airing but they're not really keeping my interest; I'm hoping Legends of Tomorrow will be the exception when it comes back next week. New Amsterdam is great (but stressful and extremely tied up in Covid19) but not something I'm exactly fannish about. It's a weird feeling. I would like something to happen.
How's everyone else?
