Ah, yes. The LGDT community

Well, I just finished my job interview and, uh, yikes. Like, I'm not gonna say I did *bad*, per se, but it was a bunch of "think of a time when..." questions and it just completely threw me off. Just. Yikes.

Hopefully that didn't completely destroy my chances of getting this job. We'll see.

So, yeah. That's how my life's been here lately. How've y'all been?

Oh, right. Nursing school. Remember how I was going to become an EMT? Yeah, turns out, not a hugely trans-friendly area to go into. I mean, it mightn't be the worst once I transition, but right now? No bueno. But, the doctor at the trans clinic suggested ER nursing, and, after some thinking and looking, I decided to go for it. So, I had advising on the 3rd, and it went well enough that I'll be returning to UTA in the spring as a (pre)nursing student!

Oh, yeah, I have a phone interview today. I applied as a transporter at a nearby hospital. I figure it'd be a good way into healthcare. They called to schedule an interview after seeing the screening form I sent them, so that's a good sign. Hopefully, all goes well. I could use the job, and, well, apparently, this hospital will pay for your nursing school, so that would *really* help!

So, my phone broke. Another 5X lost. Except I actually got this one to keep going. (Good thing, too, as I have *two* important phone calls today!) Tried to flash a BLoD patch, but it wouldn't boot, so I dirty flashed a BLoD patched Lineage 17 ROM and it's working again. Hopefully it holds up long enough to get through these calls. (And hopefully the phone interview goes well so I can get a job and afford to get a new, not-broken phone!)

I look forward to the day microsoft decides to bring back XENIX

Yeah, I decided to go with the milling head. I though about going for the lathe spindle—you know, mount a four-jaw or something—but I figure the milling stuff'd be more useful.

Trying to get the cat to stop messing with the Christmas tree:
Me: If you don't get out from under the tree, I'm gonna stick a bow on you!
Mom: You know that's not gonna work, ri--
Cat: *Gets out from under tree*
Mom: OH.

Trying to decide if I want to switch on over to Windows and """obtain""" misnomer 2077 just to see how bad it is. One the one hand, it could be a time, if not a fun time. On the other, do I really want to swap hard drives and all that just to play that pile of shit?
