Guess who is starting their new job at 8:30am on Friday morning?!
Told you so! Congrats!
It's the job that I didn't get last Friday, that I really really wanted. Apparently, the person they had offered the job to had taken another position elsewhere in the meantime and I was their second choice. My referees gave me such glowing recommendations as well.
I did not sleep at all last night and I am so freaking excited.
I'm going to have to find some new and inventive ways to curse since jfc, omg, jesus, and god damn are now off the table.

Oh my! That's even doubly better! I'm so happy you didn't have to settle with your second choice of application!
I survived my first day! I have keys! I actually have a job!
It's not sinking in yet but today was so freaking awesome. I'm apprehensive about next week, but that is next week. I survived my first day and that is all that matters.

I bought a power washer. It has to be one of the most satisfying things you can do with your clothes on. (Naked power washing is available in certain areas but ill advised)
Race shifter (electric powered) so I can use clutch or not, but it will shift with a push-button solenoid. Other than that and the larger-than-a-peg floorboards to rest my feet on. Otherwise, just a stock bike. Beyond that, just keeping my left leg (the above-knee side) on the peg and using my right (below knee side) at all stops. Thus far, thus good
I got a smaller bike because I've never legally ridden on the street and never ridden a Harley so.. wanted one I could put my feet down on, so I went with a 2017 883 SuperLow. Already wishing I had the 1200 because it sucks having a max sustainable speed of 70mph. Figured I would start with a smaller, lighter, cheapest bike they make so I could get comfortable riding. And while dropping a $10,000 bike would suck, it is way better than dropping a $30,000 bike so..
Spent the last two days riding around. Went for a nice 30 mile ride today. Already love the damn bike. Finally found something besides a fast car that gives me the adrenaline I've been missing (since no place around here does amputee skydiving. Bitches!)
What's the deal with the skydiving then @Caelan? Does there have to be special measures / safeguards in place for landing safely?
I think most people that do it just don't know how to do it with a guy with two prosthetics. I even showed them I can keep them on. Oh well. If I wanted to travel out West, I could probably find someone.
My new job is essentially two roles combined into one. The more important role is the one that I have the least amount of experience with and today was a meeting that was a trial on how well I would do performing the duties.
I nailed it. I not only nailed it but I received compliments from the executive staff on how organised I am and how I take everything on board with a positive enthusiasm.
I've been incredibly anxious since starting last Friday but this is probably the first time that I've actually got confidence in myself to know I got this. I'm not doing this on my own though, I've had a lot of advice, support, and encouragement from people and I want to say thank you. Everyone deserves raves but the people willing to deal with me when I'm laying in bed unable to sleep deserve massive raves the most.
I'm really happy with where I am.

Just because I have a system that works and messing with the system has consequences doesn't mean I bludgeon all my work colleagues into motionless obedience.
It took me twenty minutes but I nailed that parallel parking last night. I drew a bit of a gathering but everyone was so helpful, lmao. My date thought it was the greatest thing ever.
So, after missing out the Arianna Grande concert in Manchester due to being grounded, i've just dropped my daughter and her friend off at Lana Del Ray in Liverpool and currently outside the venue in a Costa chilling out. They've been so excited but also a little nervous after what happened in Manchester but they both made a point of not wanting to be scared.
I watched them literally skip through the door once the tickets had been checked, so excited for them to see their favourite artist. As a teenager I remember how I felt seeing my first concert (Faith No More in Cambridge Corn Exchange!) and I know she'll love it. I'll just sit here trying not to be nervous Dad.
My dad and I last minute decided to drive south to catch the eclipse in totality with our telescope and solar filter, here's some photos through them. (they're out of order sadly.)
Dunn tells you, "I hate you." (Party): You say, "Bad plan coming right up."
Started my first full, on-campus semester of school this week! It's exhausting with a lot of randomly popping up problems, like parking downtown (I severely underestimated how shitty this was going to be), picking classes (I somehow managed to pick classes completely on opposite ends of campus with only 15 mins to get to them - thankfully the teachers are understanding), the heat, an annoying book debacle in my history class, my introvert nature freaking out and wondering if I should drop classes when things are unexpectedly different than I thought they'd be, among other things.
Despite all that, I'm slogging through, enjoy my teachers, appreciate the material I'm learning, get to see a broadway play in town for free sometime during the semester, meeting all kinds of people at all kinds of ages, and generally glad to be getting going, despite missing the large amount of free time I had grown so used to.
My only regret is that perhaps starting both school and WoW up at about the same time was likely not the best decision I've ever made.
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

No, I don't really know what it means.

However, what's the first thing you do...

My boss once asked me if I could parallel park. I said 'Yes' and then he replied 'Great, you can now be an orthopaedic surgeon.'
Hnnnnnng.
