Civil war made me... cry? ug... i hate being emotional. Once again I blame it one the "2-4's" i was drunking...
I really think its because i'm a nerd... but... I love it. Wish it was a little more broad scale but I still love it. Smaller scale made it seem more personal I guess.
I just got offered a new job today. The second in the space of a week. So now I have 2 jobs to choose from.
The double shocker is that the figure for the total salary package turned out to be the base salary. Which means that what I thought this offer was going to pay me, a 25k increase in salary package is now a 32k increase.

Krenim: Hounds? How cliche.

Good stuff, well done. Just got a substantial payrise myself with a recent job change and it's a wonderful feeling
after some serious depression, I've found myself singing so loudly that my neighbour called me to put in a request. I now know the words to the entire goodbye yellow brick road album.
This is the first week since I returned from semi-dormancy that I won't be logging at least 30 hours on Achaea. I'm not sure if I'm getting better at adulting or if I've discovered the secret to life/Achaea balance or if it's just that I gotta make that credit money (probably the last thing).
I'm studying my butt off for teaching exams (English 7-12 and special education K-12) and I'm starting a web development program next month so I can hopefully do that on the side/during the summers after I start teaching (hopefully will start this fall!). And I have a part time work-from-home job that pays pretty well to get me through the next few months.
I'm really excited about teaching. (Web development too...my secret plan is to learn Javascript so I can make lots of money so I can spend hours and hours of unpaid time making pretty scripts for Nexus.) But definitely teaching. I never envisioned myself having a career or vocation until I found it but this is what I really want to do. So yay.

excellent choice, Harmony is vastly underrated and underheard.
go for Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy next (my personal fav) - also do yourself a favour, and look up the original vinyl cover art

My mother has them all on vinyl, but it wasn't until after I moved out that she went on a spree of finding old albums on vinyl again. Harmony and Social disease are my favourites, Grey Seal also something I could listen to for hours. I have shitloads of music from ye days gone by but for some reason Yellow brick road wasn't one I played often, if at all.
I have Captain fantastic queued up next, but before that I need to listen to the rest of Jackson Browne's latest album, You know the night has me gripped pretty hard!
Last day of student teaching! The team I've been with threw me an amazing taco lunch and now I'm ready for a nap. Even better? No kids this afternoon because of science lab. I'm officially student free!

Good thing you won't have to deal with little bastards like that EVER AGAIN! >_>
Finished my first week at my new job at GoFundMe. Very happy with it. It's my first time working for a startup in its early-ish stages. Highest I've been paid to date (yay forward progress), plus a lot of perks: 5 minutes from my house, fully stocked pantry and fridge with meals and snacks and beverages (the software dev team broke out the beer around 4 pm today), catered breakfast and lunch each day (dinners, too, if you work late), masseuse on staff, discounted membership at the nearby gym, music always playing, couches to chill on if you get tired of your desk, fun stuff like pool tables and a bocce ball lane...and it's really heartwarming coming in each day and seeing all the success stories we helped facilitate. I cry "Aww" happy tears a little bit each day. And everyone is really nice and friendly - like, Pleasantville levels. At first it kinda weirded me out, but now I'm loving it.
Plus - and best perk to me - the company is new enough that there isn't a decade or two of code being built on from before they had QA. So many companies I've worked for had tons of ugly legacy code that caused huge issues, often with no proper QA environment. The dev here was built with QA in mind from step 1, so it's so so so nice to be able to test a new build without having to jump through 50 hoops first.

Yeah, I really lucked out and I am super thankful. And, you know what, all the perks work - I'm really motivated to work my butt off. More companies should recognize that little perks can really improve productivity!
Rave for Neverwinter's Sword Coast Adventures, for satiating my need for daily prayers to RNJesus, and for crushing my fucking dreams when I think I might get lucky in a promo like giftbags/tokens/globes/anyfuckingthingelse.
Oh my god, Game of Thrones is amazing this season.
Also daaaang, sassy Sansa makes me squee in joy.
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

Internet does this to me every year!

That was my mother's day present... at least I got not one, but two naps!
