Howdy, all. Apologies for the overly personal post on MoeGamer today; that's normally something I'd just share here, but I felt it was important to share with those who aren't Patrons, as I want to get some of these feelings out there. Just stewing away isn't going to help anything; having a good old rant doesn't necessarily help anything easier, but at least it makes it clear to people that you're struggling a bit when they otherwise might not have noticed.
I know all I really need to do is just suck it up and get on with the day job, but it's been one of those times lately where it just feels like everything is piling up on top of me, trying its best to suffocate me. And when that happens, rational, sensible thinking tends to go out the window, at least in the moment.
I wish there was an easy answer. I've come inches away from scoring two jobs I would absolutely love in the last few months, only to have them snatched away at the last minute purely due to my geographical location. And that's not something I can really do anything about; my wife and I own our house here, and uprooting to go somewhere else would be a major hassle — not to mention the fact it would also require Andie to get a new job too.
It's a pity, though, because both of those jobs would have been an ideal fit for me. I won't go into full details for now just in case, but suffice to say they were both involved with games, and both with companies I have a lot of time for. Maybe something else will come of them in the future; the second opportunity at least led to a small bit of paid freelance writing, so that's better than nothing, at least.
I'll probably feel a bit better if and when this heatwave ever breaks. Right now, though, I'm just too hot to want to do anything, particularly if it's something that already bores the pants off me. At least I can go and sit in the aircon every so often if I need to, and there's usually at least one cat there enjoying it whenever I do so.
Normal business will resume tomorrow; I just needed to get all that out there today. Thanks for understanding.
