Holy shit, why won't this game just end?

I finally finished it.

What a fucking game.

Well, I have an interview. I applied for a job for an afternoon/evening receptionist, basically by calling their recruitment line, and they called me back immediately, we had a little chat, and arranged an interview for Monday morning.

The only problem, which I only realised after arranging the interview and saying the hours were fine, is that I probably won't be able to continue at kickboxing if I take it. I have to work till 7pm every day, so. Which is a shame, especially since earning a wage so I could continue to have kickboxing lessons were something I was feeling motivated by. But a job's a job, and I do need one.

On the other hand, my nephew's gone missing, so. He has gone off on his own before, for hours, but it's always nerve-wracking, and my sister's talking about calling 999. So there's that.

So, yes. Anyway. I have an interview. We're in a slight panic about what I'm going to wear, since my interview suit is actually a bit baggy on second glance, and it's a little bit heavy for the warm weather, but I've got a dress that'll work too. As long as they don't take offence to the fact I don't shave my underarms. But it's nice to have the opportunity, and the fact they got back to me immediately and the woman on the phone sounded really surprised I wouldn't have a problem working till 7pm suggests to me there might not be a lot of competition for it, which would be nice. I also applied for a receptionist job with our local NHS, which would sort of mean being sent to 3 different hospitals in the area, but still. I'd forgotten that writing application forms basically meant making yourself sound like the most amazing, capable person in the world. So I mostly did that. It helps to actually have the experience they're asking for, as well, which I do (aside from the RSA qualification - but I've explained I'm super even without that). I do actually think I'd really suit the job, and the receptionist at my mum's hospital seems to think I'll get an interview at least. Applications aren't closing until 7th September though - after my interview with the other company. But still. It's nice to feel like I might have options. Especially given how few job vacancies there really are once you narrow down a field, say you want part-time work, and ignore all the jobs the website sends you that are in Sheffield or Manchester. Not sure how I'm going to fill five hours a day if I have to keep doing that.

But anyway. I have the weekend free now, and I have finished Trails of Cold Steel. There are no Machias/Jusis fics, bizarrely. There are actually more Jusis/Rean fics. Rean isn't so bad, he's just dull. And I think I accidentally got the Machias/Rean ending, because I developed a 'strong bond' with him, spent time with him at the school festival dance, and then at the end he gave Rean a speech about how he was great and they were going to build a country which was great for everyone, together. Whoops. I did really enjoy it though.

But the game is finished. So what am I going to do now? I'm going to Nuka-World!
