*stumbles into repair bay*
Great spark! who knew giant rubber bands could cause so much damage?! I feel like I've slingshot through atmosphere and back into high orbit after hitting the ground for the bounce back in between. But I won't get telemetry for another few days, so I won't even know if it was worth it! But the potential rewards were worth trying anyway.
I hope.

Also, I want commend @neonNeptunian for their care, their quick thinking on reminding me to intake coolants and for constantly disabling my responsibility modules when they tried to interrupt my processing trees.
Neurochem, Drug usage, Feels
Spent this afternoon rolling like a Main Battle Tank on open terrain, removing the bandwidth limits on my emotional output channels and doing a deep and rapid purge of all the internal feels storage tanks. I feel so much lighter an easier. Even with my Class 2 rating, that was a pretty big load I was carrying and i didn't really notice how heavy it was until it was gone.
I have good things and plans in my future. And I want good things for all of you as well ❤ 🌊 ☀
Updating (+ + - )
+ Today is my last day on my current contract. It wasn't a bad month and it was nice keeping the same level of money coming in. All the same, I'm kinda happy to be leaving.
+ And now a local Giant Rubber-band game company wants to talk to me too! Getting all sorts of butterflies about getting to work for one of my favorite producers (even if they haven't made anything I've really loved in years)
- Really not looking forward to applying for unemployment again.
Waiting ( - 0 + )
-: Obsessively refreshing my email hoping to get a positive response from Danube is not helping my calm.
0: Feeling kinda blank about flying to Cleveland for my little cousin's graduation. Happy for her, but at the same time, it stings that another family member succeeded where I failed
+: There is a huskybot movie coming out this summer. It's a "child and his X" movie complete with "protect X from government that can't understand the specialness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--8nr2kt4uk

Oh spark. That was possible the easiest phone screen I've ever had. I was both super prepared for what actually happened, and way under prepared for what I thought was going to happen. I didn't get any questions on my past successes or failures, how I handled emergencies or difficult users, and nothing about counting manhole covers or piano repair people per capita.
I don't know if I rocked it or tanked it.
Status update (+ 0 -)
-: Really not wanting to stay at my current job means i'm putting pressure and hope on this interview going well, which likely means i will tank it. I'd feel better if I thought studying or flash carding would help.
+/0: Flying out this weekend for my little cousins graduation. She's graduating from the same college i got kicked out of 10 years ago, which is its own brand of family drama that I've kind of ignored cause i'm doing okay now, but history is a still a thing.
Status update (+ 0 -)
+: First round phone screen with Danube tomorrow. Direct hire position, with a semi-decent company that seems to treat their employees with decently hidden contempt.
0: Nervous/anxious about first round phone interview tomorrow. Pretty sure I can knock a passing percentage of the technical questions, but I'm really worried about the social portion of the interview. I can't answer "why do you want to work here?" with "cause it's not a contrract and i like not starving"
Insight into how my brain (doesn't) work
So, any Air Force plane that the president is on is supposed to be called Air Force One, right?
So, there was a seriously missed opportunity in the first Independence day for President Whitmore to announce
"Air Force 1, Fox 2!" when he's taking the first shots at the alien city killer spaceship when it's approaching Area 51.
Job search (+ 0 _)
Updating. Can't keep calling woe when things aren't bad, can I?
Inbox pinged with another favorable response to the resume blast i sent out 2 weeks ago, working data center for an international river themed online retailer headquartered locally.
Phone screen is scheduled for tomorrow during my lunch break.
Position wants some certs I don't currently have, but I don't anticipate any difficulty obtaining them.
Job search woes (+ + -)
Updating: Phone screen is complete. Not my best work. Was so amped up with nervousness that I was rushing through my answers and running out of breath while i was speaking.
Kept my use of thinking syllables down, I think, so I didn't sound too inarticulate, and i think I was really able to nail appropriate and convincing answers. Made the human on the other end laugh a few times, which has worked good for me before.
Hopefully this works out. Thanks for listening.
*beep* Raow! Are there new friends to find here?
