So I went with my gut, industry, and friend advice, and took the management job. I think I’m really going to enjoy this group, and I’m excited about the things I’m going to get to do with this company!

This feels very cool to see. Also motivates me to get back to exercising when I can afford to...

Following a lull in potential stuff coming to her from the education agencies (unsuitable due to distance), wife has an interview at Tesco tomorrow, and possibly some other stuff to look at as well.

Hopefully she gets the job, even if it's just for a bit. Anything to tide us over.

Sorted a new car today - 2014 Auris. My raise is for the moment going to be eaten by the finance, BUT we're gonna be mobile again!

Also just wanna say thanks to everyone who reached out here, even if I took no offers of help up (prideful asshole from Yorkshire that I am) - it seems like things are on a good trajectory right now so here's hoping for better times ahead.

Let's hope Nintendo finally greenlight a sequel to the 2001 GBA game Metroid Fusion, it's been so long.

Hm? Copium? Whatever do you mean

So I'm a bit nervous about this but I've self published a small collection of short stories on Kindle... I'm quite happy about it because it represents me actually getting on with writing and makes me think that I might actually sort out my novel at some point.

Anyway if anyone wants to buy it, share it, review it, I would be so grateful - it's called Light Tomes: An Anthology https://amzn.eu/d/ce70Lkq

It's only £1.77 in the UK, which is the cheapest I can make it without Amazon rinsing me with a more punishing royalty tariff haha

I'll nab it too, it's only $3 on the CDN site. Sounds like a decent price to support ya!

Thanks guys! I don't think I had a choice with non sterling prices or I'd make them cheaper too. I wrote them for myself more than anything but it feels nice to have people actually read my stuff. Plus it's got the writing bug going again and I want to start editing my novel.

One of the biggest music software companies (Waves) went subscription-only with no advance warning. People said Waves wouldn't listen to our protests, but still I tried to do what I could. (Their corporate headquarters apparently happens to be right next to one of the main areas where massive crowds were protesting in Tel Aviv.) They've now relented after only a few days.
