hello Beehaw, it's a sleepy morning--and i did not get very much sleep. luckily i have no social priorities so this is not a big deal. currently reading a number of books after completely crashing out of doing that for the entire month of June. i think i can get about 3 in before the end of the month, we'll see

I don't know what kind of jobs your in and how your job market is right now, but it never hurts to take a look at your resume and maybe look around for other jobs while still in the "comfort" of a paying job.

Glad to hear you visited a social gathering and enjoyed it. I've had some social experiences recently which have given me some positivity in my life and I am glad to see you have too.

Do you watch anime too, by chance? If so, may I ask which one(s)?

Currently things are a bit iffy for me. I originally went to school for web development, but from what I have seen it seems like people want a "unicorn developer" that can do everything.

I've still sent my resume out to a few places where I thought I could still fit or make it work but I haven't gotten any replies back yet. I'm currently in a role that doesn't use those skills but is much more teaching focused. I provide technical support with a program/tool that was made by the company I work for. So that knowledge can kind of carry over to other areas, but it's more soft skills if that makes sense.

But yeah it was a very mentally refreshing experience to go to a convention! I've watched a variety of things, probably too many to list. But some of my Favorites have been Soul Eater, Air Gear, Naruto, Steins Gate, JoJo's Bizarre adventure, all of Studio Ghibli's catalogue
