Late night with the Devil (2023)
Ended up in a library that has BotW 2 and Mario Wonder to borrow
Road trip
Visited Edinburgh last week.
Main highlights were the highlands, the baby animals (spring is coming (?) and the discovery that Scottish men are about as easy as English men, but more confident and straightforward
So. I applied for another internal position in my company (5th one since I started here). Second time I try to convince someone I could analyse the fuck out of some data, actually. It didn't pan out, again.
Last time I tried for this department I was told I lacked a "global vision", whatever that means. So I told my bosses to include me in European Supply Chain projects choke full of team leaders and people who just make more money than I do.
I didn't lack a global vision this time. But I still lost to some dude who has a better understanding of project management (that I also have). With each interview the feedback gets more diffuse. I wonder if they'll ever straight up tell me "you didn't pass the vibe check but this dude did, cheers. He'll be asking you for pointers on how to do his job on these upcoming weeks"

I've been trying to buy a home these days (my landlords are coming back to Spain in August and they want their stupid flat back. The nerve) and fuck. I'm depressed. The housing market in Madrid has made me depressed.
Maybe I'll buy a house in some remote village in Toledo and use the rest of my money to hire a helicopter to bring me to the office once a month (?)
I told my mother about this evil plan of mine and she's 100% on board:
"You run for mayor of that shitty village, win, and earn a living without ever having to leave again" "All you have to do is look for European grants to raise cattle, buy a single sheep and you'll get enough money to remodel your mansion"
Found a flat I liked, made an offer, checked with my bank that I could in fact make that offer, they're telling me tomorrow if I get it or what
Mom has a view
#not sims related#I think she's more excited about this whole thing than I am :')#if I do get this one I'll feel like I've speedran this shit#I get so many “why are you visiting 11 flats a week relax” comments from friend and like#I want this to be over asap that's about it#I hate everything about this process
It's the year 3000, and the war continues

From La Fiesta Tech to Foxbury.
Blossom Moonbeam, Klara Vonderstein, William Williamson, Stella Terrano, Frances J. Worthington III, Jasmine Rai, Zoe Zimmerman and Gunnar Roque.
Same as my previous post, this household lives in Foxbury (Tidal tower). As there is no "Political Science" degree in TS4, Klara is studying "Language and Literature", all the others are studying for the correct degree. Blossom, William, Stella and Frances are here for a distinguished major (Biology, Economics, Physics, Economics).
Now I just need a band GP/EP for the Shifting Paradymes...
I went to see my 6th flat this week.
It had a window connecting kitchen and bathroom.
Not a small window either.
I had a day today
#not sims related#they gave me a special recognition at work#some dude from another department came around to tell me to apply for a job that looked too technical for me but actually wasn't#I drank too much after work#was a little bit inappropriate with my stupid boss who is too attractive and I don't know what to do about that#was a little bit autistic with my boss' boss#eventually decided I could ride a bike home#THAT WAS A MISTAKE#fucked my brow up on a fall and it bled way more than it hurt

the only straight couple that i really care in this game
heavily inspired in these @servegrilledcheese pics
Started watching Oppenheimer so I could have an informed reason to get mad when it inevitably wins Oscars and it's going terrific. I hate it here
I wasn't expecting anything good tbh, biopics shouldn't exist and Christopher Nolan's films shouldn't either but wow. Is even worse than I expected.
#not sims related#ohoho Oppenheimer you're never getting a Nobel for a bomb#Actually Nobel invented dynamite#Yeah? That's the tone you're going for? Bohemian Rhapsody when they tell our protagonists that song is going to fail#but with a twist?#don't even get me started on the two women with lines#Chris. My man. If you can't write women just go Lem and pretend they don't exist in your universe#I promise you it'll end up better than this#if anyone ever feels like torturing me Clockwork Orange style use this movie
