Living in a small town is conceptually bad on basically most if not all levels, but they went off with the communal village cat who lives in the church garden and can be visited at pretty much any time

#they were like. i know what’ll raise the serotonin levels of mentally ill 20-somethings. chonky cat #i go to see him so much now that he chirps at me and runs to the gate to greet me #he likes to sit on me too and i really need to start bringing a second jacket to lay over my lap so that he doesn’t nick me with his nails #i don’t think anyone is clipping them #but yes. shoutout to thomas for cheering me up after i had a job interview that i feel went badly #i mean the main part of the interview went okay but then the guy asked me to make a short introductory video to be sent to schools #and That part was kind of disastrous because i blanked on a major question #i hope he comes through for me and edits it down so it’s a bit less terrible. idk how zoom recordings work but if it creates a video file #i assume that can be done? he didn’t ask me to retake it so either he thinks it’s fine or he straight up doesn’t care #either way. i’m just glad that’s over. i really need to prepare my interview answers better lol #my answer to every single question cannot be ‘gosh i don’t know if i’ve ever thought about that before’#i am a ridiculous person. and the thing is i look so good on paper with my education and experience #but then you meet me and hear me talk and you’re like ‘who or what is this’#i feel like more than one prospective employer has gone away thinking ‘is she lying? is she committing fraud? whose master’s degree is this #it’s mine okay??? sorry that doing a master’s in english literature online during a global pandemic while living in a house with 3 #other postgrads and slowly going bonkers didn’t improve my social skills #and sorry that my pgce didn’t improve my social skills either. all my students were teenagers who were basically catatonic as their brains #had been fried by tiktok during said global pandemic. i do not think any of this is my fault #anyway i’ll cut that impromptu rant off there #if you need me i’ll.. well i don’t know what i’ll be doing. a book i preordered arrived this morning and i said i’d read it #so maybe i’ll try. or maybe i’ll listen to a podcast and work on my latest knitting project (baby blanket for my goddaughter)#or maybe i’ll stare into space for a bit. who can be sure #personal
