My 2023 Wrap-up
2 years ago
My 2023 can be defined by fur cons and job turbulence.
Furnal Equinox, my 1st real fur con, was such a blast and I finally got to go to a Raptors game that same weekend after being denied from going to one by the pandemic.
But then I learned that my work contract won’t be renewed because of a competing bid. It was half a year of job searching and doubting if I’ll still have a job, or if I can even function in a new one after getting impostor syndrome on my then-current one, which I've taken for granted but the skills involved were different from what I learned in college, making the job search more difficult. The company was able to find a new spot for me after all (and still allows work from home). Took some adjusting, but I’m starting to get comfortable in it and they start to understand my strengths. Hopefully, it’s not such a temporary position.
FE, job stresses, and FOMO with FWA got me itching to go to another con, giving me the courage to try travelling to the states for the 1st time with Furrydelphia. That turned out great as well, and got to meet a mutual + some new people there. However, the one guy I met there, who has reached out to me to get in touch since, is in the hospital for a crucial surgery a few weeks ago and I haven't heard from him since, and at a time where I can't seem to hang on to mutuals, with some of my most trusted ones pulling a total 180° on their principles.
On the streaming side, I've started the year with Tombs-days in late January, where I play the Tomb Raider series and I've just beaten the main story of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, leaving the DLC missions + some clean-up to go. I have one more game after this, then a level editor pack in mind before the 1-3 remasters come out. Wednesdays I decided would be for retro stuff while Fridays are dedicated to the more recent games on my backlog.
