More car trouble… 😢 Having trouble starting. All the local garages are shut because it is a public holiday. Hopefully it will get me to work and back tomorrow and I can get it repaired tomorrow afternoon.

I feel pretty good. My cold has cleared up and I just had a super chilled Sunday. I wish this holiday could last forever but I'm back to work Tuesday

Blink 182 is a respectable band to collaborate with. I guess I just wish Avril was as famous now as she was in her prime. Her self titled album and HAW album were both quite bad. For me she could have done something more productive with her time for those two eras or just have done nothing at all. If she was making money then good for her but they were weak albums. I hope this 7th album is better. I have high hopes.

I think travis barker is a better drummer than modsun. It’s a good single. Not getting much air play. Maybe the subject matter of getting back at an ex is in poor taste but true Avril fans (like me) dig it.

I don’t feel well. I’ve got a cold. I’ve had a cold for about three days now. Saving money staying with my parents. Got a user manual for my car and a bike pump for Christmas. One cold night in bed and I caught a cold. Nice break.
Most of all I feel lonely. 😭 I just want to give Avril a big hug and cry in her arms....forever.

I showed my mum the acoustic bite me video and she didn’t like it. She didn’t like Avril pulling someone’s teeth 🦷 out.

I’m off from Friday the 24th December to Tuesday the 4th January. 😊 Booked 3 days off paid holiday in between Christmas and new year.
You still might be able to see Avril in February fingers crossed 🤞

I had a 10-minute phone-call interview with this company that was considering new grads for the role of Junior Software Developer. The interviewer told me honestly at the end that they weren't actively, but passively hiring. This means they weren't looking to urgently fill a position. It was more like, "if we like you and the dev team is impressed enough, we'll hire you." From my understanding, this means that they could decide to not hire any candidate at all if the best one does not impress them enough. She told me that I will be given a 3-day take-home technical assessment and that if the dev team likes it enough, I will get to have a live video interview where I will have to explain my work. This assessment took me 3 days to complete. I was going above and beyond, fleshing out a lot of features in my code. The only part I didn't complete was the extra credit. I liked the learning experience, but I'll be honest. If nothing good comes out of this, I'm never doing a take-home assessment again. It's a huge time sink and stressful just for a "maybe." She said that I should hear back in about a week. I've also decided use this as an opportunity to take a break from applying. I'm really worn down from all this and Christmas is coming up(nobody's really looking to hire around that time). Despite all the stress, I'm liking my chances. I'm sure not too many qualified people saw the job posting to apply in the first place. Not to mention, some candidates probably didn't pass the phone interview and those who did would be very likely put off by the technical assessment. Even if they did the technical assessment, I'm almost certain that it's not as good as mine. I still remember complaining about a majority of the group members I got when I was still in Computer Science. Those are probably the kind of people I'm competing against. lol. I don’t think I would have the patience to apply for a job like that. I remember applying for a job at a new supermarket that was opening (can’t remember the name) and you had to be picked from a group of applicants over three rounds of interviews to be considered. I got to the second round and just thought 💭 fuck this, I can’t be arsed. Work is going well. Everything is going well. I feel good. Telephone guy fixed my telephone line while I was at work today and my internet is working properly for the first time in god knows how long. Feeling organised, ready for Christmas 🎄

Feeling better today. Had quite a good night's sleep, went to work, no drama at work....thank god. Tried to apologise to my parents for stressing at them. Paid my house insurance and have to book a lifestyle advice thing with my doctor, high cholesterol. Much better today.
