Life update

General
So figured I would post an update on my life in case people are curious. I'll go in order of what's basically happened.
- Things with my old job ended up being a no go on a second chance. However they've said that I would possibly be able to get another job down the line, but right now wouldn't happen just cause it looks bad for their client.
- Due to me also being fired, unemployment has been doing an investigation on me before paying me anything. I haven't heard back from them yet, so I haven't had any actual income recently. I've been relying on my credit card to buy food and I had enough money to pay rent.
- I turned 31 late last month. My birthday was mostly boring. Everyone sent me a message, didn't get a lot of gifts (dad sent me money, a certain artist drew me a pic which I'll post when I get it). I tried getting drunk and playing Overwatch all day but the former didn't happen. Overall it sucked but my birthdays usually do.
- I recently started a job with Nintendo for the season. Their center is pretty neat. The store is lacking in Pokemon stuff so that was lame. I started this week actually but won't be staying there. I ended up getting a call today from a recruiter about a job I applied for in Seattle. They actually just want to hire me flat out, no interview. It pays 2 dollars more than Nintendo and it's easier to get to so I already told em yes.
- However, I have a job interview tomorrow with Riot games for their support team. That pays only 1 dollar more than Nintendo and it's in a further location, however, if they offer me the position I'm going to likely go for it. It's one of those cases where I'll likely enjoy my job a lot more at Riot than this other company in Seattle.
Other than this, it's been a roller coaster of emotions for me. Random moments of stress, depression and anger. Recently I took a few days away from the internet to settle down and finally tell myself to stop caring about these people in my life. I'm not cutting them out and I still consider them my friends, but I'm just going to seriously focus a lot less on making them happy and just do things for myself.
