kittydesadeHad the phone interview! The rep said they absolutely will not make me relocate, which was my main concern. Transportation to the job will be a future problem if it's downtown, out in one of the suburbs (yes we have suburbs, not many of them and they're not big but we do have them) (they're probably more like nearby smaller towns), but I will not have to relocate. And everyone I've talked to so far in the coding/scripting industry says that remote jobs are becoming more and more plentiful, which certainly seems like it'd be true. The rep also confirmed that I'd be learning four languages, of which CSS and HTML will be two, so that puts me ahead of the game. Also confirms that, I think, Ruby and JavaScript will be the others. Yaaaay Javascript. >.<
It's going to be interesting having a self-directed work from home class when, I think ever since the racial tensions blew up in the US and all of that, my ability to keep to any kind of self-imposed schedule has been crap. My ability to get things done has been less crap, not necessarily where I want it but less crap than having a schedule and keeping it two days out of every five, maybe? Slowly improving though. Or I keep thinking it is, I guess last week was the week of being sandbagged by Oh God Unemployment Job Hunting What If This Doesn't Work depression. The Return of the Post-College Malaise.
But! I have a plan now. One with, by everyone else's metric (and I can't trust mine right now because if I think about it too hard I either get caught up in how everything will be perfect once I, or I spiral down into this is never going to work and neither of these are useful) has a good chance of succeeding, so that's helpful. A few days late but I finally got my BuJo drawn up for July, that'll somewhat help. I'm eating pretty healthy, I'm not getting to bed at the time I want to be but I am getting to bed in reasonably good time, so that's fine.
Bleh. I'm actually rather optimistic about all of this! I'm also extremely tired from one goddamn stressor after another, as are we all. And I'm irritated that all of the stressors have been taking their toll, but so it goes. So I suppose this is a post to say my stressors are starting to lift but goddamn I am exhausted and so annoyed at being exhausted and drained by everything. And, you know. The United States government. They're really exhausting.
