HA HA HA HA!

Amazing!

I'll rename them the Bovine Buccaneers!

You need to get adopted by an extroverted ND. :)

But I see you Iris. I know it's hard. You aren't doing anything wrong.

I can't stop thinking about the criminal gang of Aarakocra thugs I added as minions in my last D&D fight.

I named them "The Skawk Squad" in jest during play.

But the alliteration is SO GOOD.

I'mma have them be led by "Jarnathan "Iron Talon" Skybleeder"

Pepsi was the choice of a new generation.

That generation was us. Gen X.

(Chugs a 20 Oz. (Aka 591ml) of Diet Pepsi)

I wasn't expecting the new Scrubs season to hit me so right. Now I understand why my father kept watching all those MASH reboots and reunions.

Sometimes, comfort comes in the form of familiar, yet slightly different stories.

Sigh...

I didn't get the job. I'm saddened and disappointed.

I'll process this and my losing my previous job and return with a plan. I know I will.

But now, just now, it's alright to be sad about it.

😱 That's interesting news!

A green t-shiort by the Black Maple company. It features a yellow on green cartoony beaver wearing overalls with "Joe Beaver" written on his chest. They hold an old style wooden toolbox with that boomrang-shaped tool whose name I keep forgetting in it.

I grew up near a hardware store called "Le Castor Bricoleur" with a cute "builder beaver" logo.

I was yesterday years old when I learned that in English Canada, the store was called Joe Beaver (or was that just the name of the mascot)

Gen Xer Canucks, please enlighten me.

I yam!

A scholary ronin of the roaming house of scrolls!

I am a jobless bum!

Or an early retiree?

Professionally indisposed?

A Vagabond Sellsword?

A wordsmith of temporarily uncertain allegiance!

There you go!

Team looks amazing and the work is very similar to what I was doing over at Ubisoft Connect during my last 5 years at Ubi.

While this departure is bittersweet, I was prepared and put aside 3 months worth of salary as a buffer plus a few weeks' worth of severance package.

But get this: I have my 2nd interview for a UX Writer (Content Designer) full time position at the Royal Bank of Canada this afternoon.

Last day at Vibrant Studios.

In the last 30 months there, I've achieved a few things I'm real proud of:

Dungeons & Dragons: The Immersive Quest
Tintin: L'aventure Immersive

Sad that the Transformers Immersive Experience I designed and wrote won't likely see the day. Who knows?

Let's just say I'd go to the UK Game Expo as a "I got a new job" trip (I haven't landed it yet, but planning accordingly)? Would anyone I know (virtual or IRL) be there? #Tabletop #TTRPG #UKGameExpo

I see frens, I see authors of books I've read and enjoyed!

Go buy and read their books!

It's a fake web page problem they engineer to see how I approach solving it.

Still better than Kelvin, bruv.

Checks up... Oh... We put that kinda thing in shellac products we used to manufacture when I was in Pharma!

Laughing in Canadian (and Celsius)

You're phoning in your shitposts now, Wolfgang?

Ha ha ha! Welp they do have an activity called the "French Clinic"

Since I have it on good authority that the team is made of design nerds with many gamers, I kinda want to Koyabushi Maru it and offer to run a D&D game instead. ;)

The interview went SO WELL that I have the second and decisive interview next week. I'll meet the team and I was given a UX writing-design review that I need to take lead on to show them my approach to solving issues.

🤣 I mean, it literally means "They who like horses", it is the best!

Welp, I just landed a first interview for a content designer contract with one of Canada's largest banks... In one hour 😳.

Send vibes!

It's been a "day"...

BUT I SEE YOU ALL'YALL's TransFriends and extended folks. I see you, I believe in your rights, and will be the inclusive dad-like figure that believes in your dreams!

I bet that joke will keep on going and going. :)

Thanks to @animatetrunks.bsky.social, I have a solid lead for a full time UX Writing contract. Send me positival waves! Thanks!

And thanks, man!
