Christmas Eve 2022
It was my Saturday to work so I had to go into the call center today and work alone in traffic, and while the work wasn't too stressful, there was this agent who loudly snorts and is apparently alien to the concept of blowing his nose, allergy medication, nasal spray, and such, whom I can hear from even around ten meters away. I told some of the managers about it, but they won't do anything, but our boss wants to move us into the other wing of our building so we can vocally call out agents on prolonged calls, holds, and after-call work and such, so there is some hope I won't have to deal with the annoyance again, unless he's *so* loud I can hear him from the wing traffic is moving to. Java training occurred on and off this week, and while it seemed we were to delve more into database connectivity, we got a PDF about servlet concepts, which I'll study so I'm ready for Monday (which I luckily have off from my current job). On another note, I signed up for Talkiatry and will have an initial evaluation on Tuesday after rehab and before my Java training session that day, on account of my mental state being no better than it had been in the sixteen years I've seen the same psychiatrist, with my cocktail of meds scarcely seeming to make a difference in my psychiatric health.
I woke up super early this morning as I've frequently done, which I attribute to wearing my upper teeth guard nightly I had gotten a few months back from the dental office that cost me around $700, and while I hoped to get in some gaming this morning and after work and my church's Christmas Eve service, in the morning when I started NieR Replicant which my younger brother had loaned me alongside other games, I had to take a nap short of an hour into the game, not because of its quality (which is definitely more than promising), but due to getting up really early. Our home's water is out due to a combination of the recent winter weather and a broken pipe, and we don't know when those issues will be resolved. In terms of other games I'm currently working on, I'm on the 20th floor in Etrian Odyssey III and could *possibly* beat it before year's end, as I had hoped to do as well with Pokémon Ultra Sun only to hit a roadblock in the form of one of the later-game trials that led my party to get slaughtered despite high levels, so I'm swapping 'Mons in and out in hopes I can do better next attempt, and I'll probably use the stat buffs I've amassed. Persona 5 Royal is going fine, though I'm not sure if some of the Mementos quests have expired since it's been a while since they became available.
It probably won't be the best Christmas due to the issues I've stated, but I'm somewhat hanging on and have a few things to look forward to towards the end of the year and the start of next year.
