One of These Mornings

[tracker7]

This was one of the best weekends of NFL games I've ever seen. Favorites beaten at home by last-minute field goals in three of the games - Bengals over Titans, 49ers over Packers, and Rams over Buccaneers. The Chiefs won at home, sudden-death overtime against the Bills. Close games, great play on all sides. I'm having some trouble believing that the Bengals are going into the conference championship game this coming weekend.

Played in an Armada tournament for the first time in forever. Went 0-2, had a heck of a good afternoon with some friends. I'm going to play a lot more Armada when I quit X-Wing, I think. It's far more taxing, and a whole other kind of fun, and so far, I haven't seen any sign of AMG making the kinds of changes that are driving me away from the other game.

I'm making some small daily progress in writing. Hitting the 300 words/day mark more often than not. Goodman liked my genius loci pitch. Still doing more with game stuff than fiction, but right now, writing is writing.

I've landed an interview with my home county's health department. Academically, I'm way the hell overqualified for the job, and that may disqualify me. Don't care. It's worth sitting for the interview. If I get it, it's a forward step.

Glad to hear you're writing again - it's hard to stretch those muscles again. Also, good luck with the job!

I once asked the manager while interviewing for a retail warehouse gig "how'd I do?" at the end when he asked if I had any questions, which surprised him. He said "well, we're not really supposed to tell you but really our only concern is that you seem vastly overqualified for the role."

I said "if I could find a better job by now, I would have. you let me worry about overqualified, you need someone to work and I'll clock in every day." So they hired me lmao. I knew nothing about working in a warehouse.
