Status Update

Oct 13
Been a bit busy. Company called [redacted] called on Sunday saying they found my resume and they think I'd be suitable for a position there. I had interviews on Monday and Tuesday, and both went well, but it was tiring nonetheless. In the meantime, I had some minor issues with my current job (at Brenntag) - HR partner sent me information that is weird / seemingly wrong, and controlling complained. Over the weekend I sent out emails explaining HR's process and pushed (rightful) responsibility to the partner. When my supervisor came back from leave I was told I handled it well. And yeah, I did the monthly closing by myself and all.

Safe to say I am, ah, getting exhausted.

On Friday I got the offer from [redacted]. The pay is not low, let's just say. So, I'm taking that job - it starts on Jan 10th next year, so I've got ample time to clear up my current work and submit my resignation.

Dad tells me to thank the Lord for my good fortune. I'm taking a moment to do that now.

I should note that this week I also received a (verbal) offer to extend contract for my current company. Obviously, I'm not accepting that as [redacted] is offering higher, plus it's a permanent (whereas my current position can only extend until the end of 2022 / early 2023 when the project finishes, then it'd be quite illogical for them to extend it as they don’t have any other work for me).

Anyway, after this exhausting week, I had a quiet weekend sleeping and playing a new title, The Riftbreaker. It's decent - a few problems with the game are quite detracting from my fun, actually. But I'm willing to overlook a few problems if it's a small indie developer and an innovative enough game, both criteria of which The Riftbreaker satisfies.
