Sunday updatery

It's Sunday afternoon which of course means it's time to write blog posts, do the laundry, and figure out what I'm going to do this coming week. We both have tomorrow off but nothing planned other than probably going out for a walk or ordering out or something like that. I do in fact have something tomorrow -- I have a phone interview! Yes, I managed to get past the online application level and I'll be speaking with a hiring rep via Teams. No major details yet other than this is actually for a very local (as in right up the street) retail position. I'm totally fine with sliding back into that job field at this point. 

I was thinking about it the other day, actually...back when I worked retail and later at the YC warehouse, I actually enjoyed the level of work I had to do that kept me busy and somewhat social. Some of it did include a bit of mental gymnastics, but not so much that I was mentally exhausted by the end of the day. I realize now that was what banking did to me over the years, and that is totally NOT what I want to encounter again. Hell, whether I'm working a register or restocking or doing back office stuff, as long as I can still do my writing at the end of the day, yeah? That's the most important part of it. (And in a weird way, I kind of miss the social aspect of that kind of job. Not just the coworkers but dealing with other people in particular. Yes, even during this stupidass pandemic.)

So yeah...we'll know what happens in a few days, hopefully!
