Oh yeah, I almost forgot to keep peeps up to date, but I just finished the first week of my new job. So far, it's been pretty interesting and fairly chill. Although, some of that is because the designer I need to work with for the front end nonsense hasn't started yet. But still, it's interesting. They use JS on the back end with some MongoDB and AWS Lambda magic, which seems like something I could get on board with and maybe do more back end myself someday. Ironically enough, they also just moved into the exact same office building I used to work at 2 jobs ago. So I've once again got a neat 20m walk / 5-10 minute bus/car ride away commute, and my office is once again across the road from my gym. The same small coffee shop guy is still there, but sadly the cafe where I used to buy Eggs Benedict is gone… 😢

So I guess the moral of this story is, open up a gym on the riverfront, apparently they last a long time? 😜

I also dropped mad bling on a new MacBook Pro (15") for said new job. The touch bar is an entertaining novel gimmick. The option was easier than getting a work-supplied one, and more personalised. I've put some cute lizard stickers from RedBubble on it, although I've held off on loading it up with furry porn juuuust yet… 😜

In non-work news, I've also been spending way too much on assorted nonsense like a printer and cutting tools to attempt to make DIY cards. So far I've done some test nonsense but haven't set aside time to try and finish it all fancy with acrylic sealer and all that jazz. They're mainly in the realm of reference cards for the amusing times at the D&D sessions my brother has been hosting every month-ish. I guess to answer the eternal question of "Do you RP?", the answer is "Yes… roll for initiative". But seriously, I do find the structure of a tabletop game a better framework for roleplaying than just open-ended chat stuff (as much as I dabble in that as well…). Aimless RPing can get a little… well, aimless?
