once you receive this lovely bouquet of flowers you have to mention five things you love, publicly, and send it to 10 of your favorite followers if you want. SPREAD POSITIVITY! ⛅️

(its all up to you if you still on it but I just wanted to also let you know! ^.^)

Woohoo! 5 more things I love!

Baulders Gate 3 - I love this game so much It is gaming perfection and I love playing it and I can't wait to play a new character and do things different. Usually I'm one and done with a game but not with this one. Though I will probably always romance Astarion cause... Reasons

Getting my nails done - just a little treat for myself is having some place to go I get my nails done. I usually do them myself. Before my dad talked me into going to college I wanted to be a nail tech.

Podcasts - I listen to waayyy to many. When I was working with my ADHD it helps me focus.

Not Working - it's so nice to not have to deal with my super toxic former work environment and be a stay at home dog mom.

Sushi - I would eat sushi everyday if i could.

the initial "yahoo ! I quit my job ! :D" has faded and become an "oh god. I quit my job. D:"

I’ve been doing a lot more skiing and snowboarding over climbing and it’s been a ton of fun. It’s been absolutely dumping here in Salt Lake City so I’ve been taking advantage of that while I’m still funemployed lol. This is the least consistent I’ve been with climbing and it honestly feels pretty good to slow things down and take a mini break. Being on the mountain has been great for my mental health these days and I’m grateful that I now live in a place where it’s so accessible

it's been a wild couple of weeks

So I left my job at the university in February, right? And then I got a job that I started in early March.

What I didn't know is that the company I was contracted to that was contracted by Toyota to run their IT support was in the middle of an RFP process and re-bidding for their contract, which they lost. Toyota wanted to consolidate all of its IT needs into a single vendor, which makes sense, because they had contracts with like three different ones across the company. Like, helpdesk and tier 2 were two separate ones, and tier 3/CATIA/Delmia support was being done by like two firms by itself

I was like, it's fine, I'll apply for my job within the new company because we'll get priority, but I went home on Friday, May 26th and as soon as I got home, my... I don't know what his position or title was, but he was my manager at the company that was managing my contract? And said that all subcontractors at the Toyota site were being let go. It was basically like, sorry, we'll let you know if anything else comes up, good luck.

Thankfully I had just gotten paid, plus my state tax return, plus I got a check from my car insurance company to cover some minor damages (that I am not super worried about because really, it's just some scuffed paint) so my bills for the month could be paid, but... I had to walk into the meat grinder of the job market.

There must be someone looking out for me, because I had an interview last week for a job that I applied for like a month ago that sounded amazing - basically a 1:1 to my job at the university, a nonprofit that does healthcare research, hybrid, a reasonable driving distance from my house (like ten minutes actually).

They called last week and set up an interview, and I ended up having three interviews in one day. I felt like I was on ANTM on the day where they do the go-sees. I didn't expect to hear anything until this week, so I basically lost my mind with anxiety all of yesterday, but then I had an email with someone from HR wanting to do a 30-minute followup. I was like, alright, that's weird, but that's probably a good sign, right?

He scheduled it for 1:30 and for some reason in my mind, I transposed it to 2:30 (likely because my in-person panel interview with them was at 2:30 last Thursday). He sent me an email asking if I was still available. I panicked and apologized profusely, but he said it was fine, and then offered me the job.

I was ecstatic! And then he sent me my offer letter and the salary on it like... I knew it had to be a typo. It was well into six figures; pretty much what you'd expect the average pay to be for a systems administrator or data engineer, not my position. But I signed and returned the offer anyway.

Then he called me and said that it was indeed a typo, and that if I still wanted the job at the revised (much lower)(but still incredibly respectable) salary, to which, I said yes. Like, it's crazy. It might not be much in the grand scheme but it is still ten grand over what the university was paying me! Or maybe more! But, either way.

It's been a good day.
