Good morning friends.
Right now, it's 6:13 in the morning and I decided to update you all on my life currently before work.
Firstly, I started a new job! I'm only a few weeks in but according to my trainers, I'm doing well. I still have a lot of jitters since it's a big change for me, not in terms of responsibilities but in terms of...location? I left my remote job of over two years that I ADORED because of the current economic struggles and the security in that field with the overwhelming number of AI taking over. SO I found a job that paid exponentially more and had very little risk of AI taking over, however I could no longer stay remote.
Although I definitely miss working remotely and wearing t-shirts and pajamas to do my job, I must say I really enjoy this job! There's a lot of cool people and the company is very tight-knit. Plus, they seem to like me and think I am good at what I do.
In other news, my friends and I are planning a group trip to San Japan this year so I've been looking around for cosplay ideas. Keep in mind, the weather will be HOT since it's Texas August, so nothing too crazy I think. For now, I'm thinking of doing casual Yor from Spy x Family or a closet cosplay? I also have thought about doing Ginger Snap while my friend cosplays Orange Blossom from Strawberry Shortcake. I think that would be super cute!
I'm in the process of reorganizing my home office and home in general to reflect more of my interests. I have a LOT of anime posters all over my office walls but I am thinking of switching it up and putting some other fun prints and hobbies around. My love for Star Trek, literature, video games...I've been inspired lately since I've started rewatching TBBT and remembering how much I loved their apartment. My whole idea lately, especially since I started working outside the house, is to make my home a sanctuary for me to come to. Right now, it's definitely my happy place but I feel it needs a little more personality.
Lastly, even though this isn't an official Captain's Log post, I still thought I should update you guys on what I've been up to! Like I said, I've been rewatching The Big Bang Theory with my mom. I've been having a blast reminiscing. When the show first came out, I was obsessed with it (I had way too many T-shirts) and when I met Jonathan, it was one of our favorite shows to watch over the phone since we were long-distance for the summer. So watching it now brings back so many fun memories.
Aside from that, I've been loving Kirby Krackle's Madripoor album as well as some Jonathan Coulton and lo-fi video game and movie soundtracks during work. Definitely makes the day go by faster when you work to the Justice League and Stardew soundtracks.
That's all for now. If you'd like to see more daily musings, be sure to follow me on BlueSky as well. See you in the next post!
Always,
