Sep. 27th, 2020 07:00 pmWell, it's October on Thursday, and there's still no word from my work. If I don't hear anything by then, I think I'm going to call my manager, and ask for a general heads-up. They just brought in some new restrictions in Leeds though, with a view to possibly bringing in more, so I can't imagine they're going to call more of us in when things are so uncertain. I suspect I'll be doing exactly what I'm doing right now until the furlough scheme runs out, and then...doing something else.
Assuming I will be off work all October, I think I will have a spooky month. I really enjoyed Women's Month, although I didn't do a lot of the activities personally that I'd planned to do, because I just played video games instead. But having a whole month for scary games is actually ideal, because that maybe gives you enough time to finish them. Getting scary games ON Halloween is often not ideal. And it doesn't look like I'll be doing a lot of Halloween activities I usually enjoy - there's pumpkin picking at a local farm, but without a lot of the other stuff they used to have alongside it, and without the kids here it's not necessarily something we'd do. I was thinking I might charge up my Wii U and finally try to finish Maiden of Black Water, the only Project Zero/Fatal Frame game I ever managed to get my hands on and play. It was a bit difficult for me, because it does focus a lot on suicide and suicidal themes, but I might be able to handle it a bit better now. And I'll dig out my old Halloween playlist, that I made on one computer and then it died and when I tried to transfer it to a new computer a bunch of files had been taken out or wouldn't play, and then I tried to remember it and write it down in a notebook but it never felt the same. Scary things like that.
