Got out of Erebus after a few tries. Can't get out of Oceanus to save my life. Loving it so far.

Having Melinoë romance Moros. Just like I had Zagreus romance Thanatos. It is my firm belief that both children of Hades should have their designated emo boyfriend that everyone hates to see coming, and isn't really good with social stuff because of it.

I feel like I'm collecting children of Nyx like pokemon at this point. Oh, and the "helper" characters that I've met so far are interesting. Love the shield dresses. Those are nice.

Unlocked the surface. Gonna do a bunch of runs up there to get reagents. Unlocked the bath. Planning on inviting Moros.

Kinda disappointed that the tent/encampment isn't quite as customizable as the house was in the first one, beyond unlocking things, but, I get it narratively. It makes sense.

All in all, it's good so far. More of a challenge, which I like. Definitely a "You played the first one, so let's bump up the difficulty a bit so that you don't get bored." Plus all new locations, all new weapons and enemies. It's great. Not quite sure how I feel about the arcana/tarot system yet, but it might just be an 'I have to get used to this' sort of thing.

Ok, I know I'm late to the party but here's a theory:

In Fundy's latest stream, Fundy refers to Endermen as 'Ranboo's spies'. And I know this might be a bit of a stretch but what if it's true?

We know that there is an unusual amount of Endermen around the SMP and yes, while that might just be a coincidence, what if it isn't?

We don't know nearly anything about c!Ranboo's abilities, heck, we don't even know what his other half is!

But we know that he's part enderman. And we also know that there is some supernatural stuff happening right now.

So what if c!Ranboo can use nearby Endermen as his eyes?

,,hello"

,,you thought i wouldn't see?"

,,I see a lot of things"

And by the end of the stream, after his game crashed, Fundy says this ,,So he really does see everything..."

So, like most people that I know around my age, I don't answer my phone if I don't know the number. Especially if they pull that "Let's call once and then call back when we don't get an answer and then never leave a voicemail."

Well, I'm moving and I applied for a couple of jobs. Mostly ghosting, but that's how the job market is. But, I get an interview with one place. It's not too far from where I'm moving, pay is decent. Not a bad gig. So, I go in, I do the interview, and I get the job. Like, manager hired me right then and there.

Should have been my first red flag.

Red flag number 2? A number I don't know, calls me back to back once a day. No voicemail.

I have a philosophy. If it's important, they'll leave a voicemail. I even have it in my answering message. "If it's important, leave a message, and I will get back to you." No message, whatsoever.

I have already done my onboarding, told them I would put in my two weeks at my current job to be professional, and everything. Manager says he's 100% okay with that. Says he'll call me. He never calls. Or so I think.

Well, I called the store today. Very professionally asked when we were going to schedule training and start dates, mentioned putting in my notice at my current job.

This is the part that pisses me off. Y'all, when I tell you that this is a new one, even for me, and I almost flipped shit on the phone....

According to the manager, he TEXTED me, and I "should have put his number in my phone". Not the store number. HIS PERSONAL NUMBER. I never received a text of any kind, and I say as much. Well, he rattles off his number, and it's the same damn one that's been calling me and not leaving a voicemail. I, very understandably, even though I'm aware my opinion is biased, made a comment about there never being a voicemail.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MOTHER FUCKER SAID?

"Well, I shouldn't have to leave a voicemail, you should have just known."

Like, first of all, I didn't get your texts, second of all, that's completely unprofessional.

So, now, I'm left with less than two weeks at the current job because moving prevents my stay, and no job for when I get to where I'm going. So, I have to hope I find something in less than two weeks.

For example, the book I'm working on has a massive war as the central conflict. It shapes everything else. So, I get to spend hours plotting and playing war games.

Game..... ☺️

I applied to two of my dream colleges.....

I did that last night, on New Year's Eve, because I was waiting for my boss to write my reference, and my boss had done it late on the 30th.....

It's been less than 24 hours, but.....

One of the schools is already looking through my application.....
