I do have a part time job that can turn more permanent if I want. I did prepare a few resumes to go out tomorrow and also applied for 2 jobs on line.
FYI Jaylen & I will be at Origins the next couple days, might be plenty of time to check for posts but personally I cannot get logged in on my phone. It just does the thing where it logs in and logs you back out again, lol, has for months (am in IT, tried all the things, hate technology sometimes). But def by Sunday I can make another post.
Have fun!

Oh nice! Some of our local boardgame designers will be at Origins -- have a great time! If you see games like Diceborn Heroes or Creature Comforts, you will be in the company of some Alberta gamers :)
I should also mention that I am going away at the end of next week and work is going to be a disaster between now and then (as evidenced by my still sitting at the computer at 10pm). I think I need to put the game on hold until I get back (July 15) -- I hope that's alright! Feel free to plan your next moves and RP a bit.
Okay, thanks for the heads up! I recently have bitten off more than I can chew and am running a PF2e game, and some PFS 2e Quests, in addition to another game on Tavern-Keeper! @_@
You folks are busy bees! I'll make a calendar note to check the game again in mid-July (or I will forget....if it's not on the calendar, it doesn't exist lol).
I did see Diceborn Heroes I think, there were so many cool games there.

I planned a couple of longer trips this year, rather than many small uses of my vacation time. Unfortunately, I also took on some freelance projects, which have been taking up my evenings and weekends prior to the vacation!
Glad you had fun at Origins -- one day I'll have to go to a game convention (other than our small local one, that is).

What are you running?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I am running:
The Celestial Regent (home-game) - My own take on the old Jade Regent AP. I have changed out a lot and updated it to PF2e. Two of the PCs are playing Kaijitsu scions and Ameiko is their older cousin. The final intent is that she will institute a three-headed Emperor-ship. The Emperor of the Sky, the Emperor of Earth, and the Emperor of Hell. Each will take on an aspect of the government.
PFS 2e Quests 16-18 Season 2 - One of the fine folk here bought me these Quests. In exchange, I offered to run them. We just wrapped on Quest 17 (which I started with at the behest of one of the players), then will move to Quest 16 next.
Echoes of the Past - PF2e Albion (Tavern-Keeper) - This is a beginner-friendly game on the Tavern Keeper boards. It is my introduction for some new players to the PF2e system. It started with my take on Colville's Delian Tomb adventure, and has continued with the players learning about the relations with the Fae Court and why they hate Mankind...
Burnt Offerings / Seven Dooms for Sandpoint (round-robin) - As sort of an experiment, I am doing the beginning of a round-robin game. This is basically for the forever-GMs. I am running Burnt Offerings for levels 1-4, where the PCs are largely kids making their mark with the Unpleasantness. Then we do a timeskip, and revisit the PCs 17 years later and someone takes over, revolving GMs through Seven Dooms.
Nice. If you can, play or run the Mosquito Witch
that is a fun one!
I just realized that Gids is in my Sandpoint game!
LOL
Gideon gets around -- he's also in a DCC game with me :D
I had an interview today. Hopefully it goes well and if I get the job they will look past the former employer's report.
I hope that they will look past a most biased and unfactual response from a previous employer and look at my credentials, experience, and what my references say.
They never asked about things but on the applications and other paperwork I do disclose that there was an issue.
I had a very strong interview today for a Dean of Student's position. I should hear something back in the next week or so.
Good luck!
GTtood luck!
Thank you@
I applied a week or so ago to the school that I did my student teaching at. I got a call and they offered me the position. I am thinking of asking to speak to my former principal who is now the Super for that school to let her know about the bad report from the other school. That way she knows and can make her decision. The Job Corps might be offering my old job back to me later on in the week.
I would rather get a yes or a no from my first school and be able to have a job possible with Job Corp than to say no to Job Corps and not have anything if the other school does not like the report
Here's hoping you get the job you want!

The people I have asked for advice on it think it is a good idea. It is professional and respectful of the needs of the school. And it does not look like I am hiding anything.
I'm back!
I traded wet and 70F -ish weather in the UK for a heat wave in Alberta (although, I recognize the irony in referring to 90-ish as a "heat wave").
Be safe over there! The temps have been crazy across the U.S. too. Thankfully, I am all the way out here in Hawaii... ^_^
Today was a 101 degrees
Welcome back!
Today was a 101 degrees
oof, that's rough -- I hope you have AC! (most homes in this part of Canada don't because it's not usually this hot!)
It's looking like it'll be 95 from now until at least Monday. We have had temps up around 105 in the last few years -- I expect I'll have that to look forward to in August. I grew up on the east coast of Canada, so I'm most comfortable when it's 60-70 and windy :)
Swamp cooler in thw house big fan on my room.
I'm with Gideon (in the gentle laughing kind of poking fun). Grew up in Florida, this heat wave we're having in Ohio is meh. Still, hot an muggy is bleh even if you're used to it!
Curious if anyone else does this - drink hot tea so that you sweat so that you cool down? It really does work, plus tea = caffeine :-D. But iced tea is even better.
I grew up and still live in New Mexico. The heat is a dry heat. When I was sent to Rome to study for 3.5 years I thought that Archbishop had sent me there to die because of the mugginess in the summer and the bone chilling cold in the winter.
LOL!

@Toki “Toki sneers, Finally, a man worth killing...”
One of my all time favorite movie quotes.
That movie has my favorite chemistry between a party of any movie (second only to 13th Warrior). That scene of them headed back to Hadrian's Wall, where the knights talk about what they are going to do with their freedom is absolutely iconic!
It warms my heart that someone recognized it... ^_^
Is that from King Arthur? I had to look it up :D
I have seen that movie, but it's been a very long time since I watched it!
Yep! It is not a lot of peoples' favorite, but I enjoy it and the chemistry between the actors is great. There were a couple of lines that I personally would have rewritten, but all-in-all it was a fun ride!

I’m a fan of most King Arthur movies and I find that one to be probably my favorite.
^_^
Yeah, they did a great job of character building, I can't say I have a favorite, I like them all. Lots of good lines, good plot with a neat twist on the traditional King Arthur, aces.
Filled out the paperwork for my new job today, we start on Wed.
Congrats!
I am excited. I got to see my room and it has an office!
Nice!
I had to say good-bye to my 17 year old tabby this morning.
<3 <3
My condolences -- that's really tough
:(
