sarasvatiFinally redownloaded, installed, and started playing MegaTen Online once more. Haven't even done much yet, but it's just as fun as it was in beta, and now it's running on a better computer so that I can actually enjoy it without as much lag.
Right now I'm just playing with Rei, under the character name of SageWilliams, so if anybody sees that character, feel free to say hi. I'll probably be creating a solo character at some point, too, so that I can play when Rei's elsewhere without feeling guilty about being too many levels above him. Sometimes we create characters in games specifically to play together, so I often create a secondary for when I want to solo later.
Need to get money so that I can get a paid account on DW again. I like having individual icons for the games I'm playing, and so far my "Persona Phone" icon is the closest I have to something for MegaTen Online. Just need to get a job and all will be sorted out.
Which reminds me, I interviewed for a company I will call Company X, and once again didn't get the job. I have the sneaking suspicion that they didn't hire me this time because they held my previous interview, one I had 8 months ago, against me, which I think is a load of bullcrap. I'll be contacting the temp agency tomorrow to find out if they gave a reason, and if it's something pathetic like that, I'm going to call them on it and demand that they not hold the past against me like that, especially when their own company policies dictate that I'm supposed to get a new chance to be hired by them after 6 months. If they're just going to hold the previous interview against me, then what's the point in interviewing me a second time at all?
But time will tell what comes of that. As much as I'd want to work for them because they pay well and offer good benefits and stability, they demand a lot of applicants that they don't demand of their actual employees, are notoriously strict, and yes, have been known to not hire people because they wear an article of clothing that's less than professional. (By which I mean, if I show up in sneakers, apologize for wearing sneakers but explain that I'm broke and they're the only things I actually own to wear on my feet, and the sneakers are neat and clean... they won't hire me because I had the audacity to wear sneakers to an interview.)
I also suspect that they may not have hired me because it's been so long since I last had a job. Makes me wonder how people who take time off for sickness or family ever get new jobs. I swear, next time somebody asks me why I haven't worked since last September, I'm going to lie through my teeth and tell them that I was recovering from illness. At least that way they might not get the idea that the reason I haven't worked much since then is because I'm unemployable.
The longer I go without a job, the harder it is to get a job. It's a piss-off!
Okay, enough ranting. Back to playing MegaTen Online!
