My aunt whom I am staying with for spring break is friends with an Air Force colonel. He spent four hours today to give us a tour of the Air Force section of the Pentagon. Today has been an awesome day.
He also gave me his business card and offered to talk to a Defense Department person with Congressional links he knows about internships.
This has been the best day in -ages-.

Signing up for my first ever LARP, a film-noir setting in the year 2020.
Speaking of, belated rave...
@Kuy and @Kross getting so into their characters that they spontaneously started LARPing over Skype the other day. It's made more adorable if you know Kuy's alt.

So jealous. Tell Flair we miss him and send lots of crazy, maggot-infested love.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby
So, as some of you know, I have been forced to resign from my job last january. I sent some resume, but the job offers are quite few in my country. I nonetheless had a phone interview two weeks ago with a guy from a big company. The interview went well, and he said he considers me selected for the second interview.
Days goes on... No news... I sent an email last week and they did barely respond they'll contact me in the future...
And this morning, by checking my mails...
Dear ######,
Hope you are well. I had a call with the Director of ###### last night. he would like to arrange a meeting with you and the team in ######.
###### ###### - who is our senior consultant - wants to contact you this week to arrange.

I am very happy.
Good news is...well, good news! Hope you get that job.
There is the biggest thunderstorm going on outside, the weather is deliciously cool, and I just finished chopping up and marinading some chicken for dinner tonight. My hands smell so good.
The the first time in a few days, things have slowed down and stopped being so overwhelming, it's really nice.

Getting into training for what might well be my first job in a good while. While I abhor call centers and all manners of jobs that make me have to put up with people (i,e most of them) , the company itself seems rather nice enough, and the same can be said of mostly all my prospective coworkers.
The only shame is that my achaea time will be severely limited now, but hey, credits.
And you won't understand the cause of your grief...
My aunt took me shopping for clothes today. I feel guilty about buying expensive things, but it's also amazing to have clothes that make me feel like I look good. I feel good. All but one of my pairs of jeans had worn out, and that last one is right on the cusp of developing holes. My new things are frankly nicer-looking than my old jeans were even when they were new, and are probably a lot more durable. I also now have outfits (more than one, even) that I could confidently wear to an event labelled 'business casual' or 'semiformal'.
As an added bonus, I fit a size 0 in jeans again. I'm sure that the sizing is deflated to make people feel better, but, well, it works. I feel better.
EDIT: Oh holy shit, I just looked at the price tag on the leather jacket she got me and my heart nearly stopped. I don't think I have ever owned an article of clothing that expensive in my entire life. Going to go thank my aunt again.

I went outside today to let my puppy go potty, it was quiet. No barking. I than took out the trash and no dogs were jumping against the fence trying to rip my face off. I feel bad for liking the next door neighbors dogs being gone but OMG it is so much nicer with them gone.

I thought it was usually the opposite: inflate size numbers to make you feel like you need to go spend money on weight loss products and such. I seem to recall that being a complaint about a few particular places when I last worked in retail, anyway.
I hadn't thought of that-- this place didn't sell weight loss products, though, just clothing. If you're trying to sell women's jeans, making customers feel thin because they can fit a small size seems like a logical idea.

That's what I said, too. Except then I realized that I don't have time to utilize credits. So conflicted.
My rave is that I get all of the overtime that I want, so even though I may not have time for credits and Achaea, I can go to the bank and get enough dollar bills to make a visit to my favourite place throw into the air and roll around in.
On the flipside, I get all of the overtime that I want, so I'm never home anymore.
I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.
Through changes to my diet alone, I am down 30kg (about 60 pounds) and today I got the all clear to start exerting myself again without risking heart issues.
I still have to take things easy but I am really proud of the progress I am making. My cooking is a lot better and despite the struggle of being broke right now, I am sticking to the things that I am supposed to be eating only. Slowly but surely, two years of damage is coming undone. I feel like celebrating.
