Day 9324

 

Next Tuesday, all the blonde is coming off. I'm hoping if I cut it now by the time I'm 30 it will grow back to this length 🤞 Super short hair here I come! 

Good year? Bad year?

It's been a pretty hectic last couple of months. 

• Middle of a pandemic.
• Find out my father has cancer. 
• My job contract ends and they legally can't renew it.
  
• Start trying to find a job whilst working on Locomotion marketing in free time.
  (Dipping my toes in and learning about marketing was an amazing rabbit hole of a journey.)
  
  Two months later 
• Locomotion comes out on switch! Sells 333 copies during launch week/pre-order <3
• 40+ job applications later, three job offers along at the same time!  
• Now working as QA with VR games! 
• Dad had an operation,  cut out cancer, check-up says now it's all good!!!
  
  
• For the new job I'm leaving the house at 5am and getting back at 8pm. 
• Our lease was running out so we decided to move: closer to work and has a car parking space.
• House falls through because I'm on a 0 hours contract and they don't accept a guarantor. 
• Decided to renew where we are. 
• Now working from home for the short term because of the pandemic. 
• Next step is getting a car to help with that commute. 
• Still have a few more Locomotion marketing posts to make. 
• Then onto Isolated Incident and I suspect this time next year back onto Don't Trust Larry. 
  
  Currently typing from my new office. When we originally moved into this flat I envisioned it as each of the bedrooms being a study for my partner and I, then using the main room as a sort of studio. In the end, we had a bedroom and living room in the two bedrooms and used the main room as a large study/ VR space with a dining table tucked away.
  As we aren't moving we still decided to do a bit of a clear-out and change around.
  Long story short I'm excited to have my own space.  

This year really has been a rollercoaster news-wise, it definitely feels like a disaster movie is happening in slow motion each time I look at the news. But in reality, everything has been nothing more than a slight inconvenience for me personally, and I'm honestly so grateful for that. If anything being able to work from home has been a wonderful change of pace, and because I live with my partner and talk to most of my friends and family over the phone/online anyway it's been pretty much the same. 
Either way here's hoping 2020 settles down a bit over the next few months.
