As I hoped, today was another nice quiet day with no commitments. I spent a lot of the early day playing Atelier Ayesha, and Warriors Orochi 3 kept me hooked until nearly 2AM. Me and that game, we're going to have a long and fruitful relationship, I feel.
I'm officially counting down until I leave the current day job now, which is exciting, and I even have a few days off over Christmas to use up the last of my holiday. I broke the news to work on Friday and they all seemed fine with it; as I think I said back then, it will be nice to leave a job behind on good terms for once rather than because I was treated poorly in some way.
I've not had the best luck with jobs in the past. Teaching nearly killed me, but I was worried going into it that it would be a bad idea. Beyond that, I struggled to pin down what I wanted to do; I get a bit of a mental block any time I look at job listings because they're always written in such impenetrable, meaningless corporatespeak these days that it's impossible to glean any meaningful information from them. All the opportunities I've had to date are those I've come across via other means… and I'm grateful for all of them, even if many of them ended badly.
Anyway, I'm hoping this new job will be the start of something great. I'll tell you all a bit more about it once I'm settled in! For now, I better get some sleep before I kick off one of those final weeks!
