Well, today is the last day of my "holiday" — Saturday and Sunday are just a normal weekend, then it's back to the grind of the day job on Monday. Boo, hiss, etc.
Anyway, I thought I'd take stock of what I've achieved this week just so I feel better about the things I've managed to get done. This week I have:
- Researched and recorded intros for 23 Atari A to Z videos
– Recorded gameplay for 8 of those Atari A to Z videos (one published already)
– Researched, recorded intros and recorded gameplay for 5 Atari ST A to Z videos
– Recorded and edited five videos for Warriors Wednesday, taking us to the conclusion of Warriors Orochi
– Recorded four episodes of Final Fantasy for the Final Fantasy Marathon series
– Posted all my usual articles on MoeGamer
Tomorrow I'm going to try and record probably five Atari A to Z Flashback videos, then that will be all my personal goals for this week accomplished. Pretty pleasing, and a good indicator of how productive I could be if I was doing this thing full time.
On that subject, I saw an interesting job listing come up this week. It's for a job that would be absolutely ideal for me: it's a site editor and community manager job for a UK-based website that specialises in Japanese games and retro stuff. No, it isn't MoeGamer.
The job sounds absolutely fantastic in terms of what it's asking and I'm going to apply for it, but I have three main hesitations over it. Firstly, I predict that its salary will probably be well under what I'm on now and almost certainly lacking the corporate benefits I currently enjoy. Secondly, I don't know what working a job like this would mean for MoeGamer and my YouTube work. Thirdly, and probably most significantly, it's two and half hours away from where I live. And "just moving" isn't an option, since my wife works around here, we own our house rather than rent it and… well, we don't want to move!
Still, this is 2019, so it doesn't hurt to enquire as to whether or not the job can be performed remotely — particularly for an Internet-based job like this — so I'm still going to apply with this in mind. My current day job is absolutely fine but it's boring and occasionally frustrating, so it certainly doesn't hurt to idly pursue other opportunities while I'm in a position of stability. Nothing ventured and all that.
Anyway. It's 1:20am and I'm tired after a very late gym session, so I'll say good night for now. Look out for both Atari A to Z Flashback and your PATRONS ONLY! exclusive vlog tomorrow. Have a lovely evening!
