@ThanosReXXX Same. I love the rare fast food treat, but I definitely have my favorites. It's probably a good thing that there aren't any pizza places within reasonable walking distance of my house or place of work. XD

SOMEONE SAID TRAINS!!!!!

I played Pokemon Go for about an hour in the nearby downtown area yesterday. Four trains went through in that time, three of which were pretty close together. I knew that (primarily freight) line was busy, but not THAT busy! XD

One of those could have been the other track that runs through town though. Wasn't in a good area to check then.

Have an interview tomorrow I'm kind of nervous for. It's for a different company and they're flying me out to Maryland just for this 2 hour interview. Needless to say im going to have a super long day, plus wear a suit and tie for like 18 Hours And sitting on a plane isn't the most comfortable. I haven't been on an interview for a good 8 years , so my nerves are pretty shot at this point. Id have a large territory to cover and may do over nights a few days a month which im not high on. It could be upwards of 8-10 days per month in some cases id imagine. Wish me luck, please.

Good luck! Enjoy the trip! And don't eat anything weird before the interview!

Seriously be as plain and boring with food as you can.

@NintendoByNature - You got this dude. It’s a great opportunity, if nothing more than to brush up on your interview skills, and you’re in the driver’s seat. You’re interviewing them. You have options. Slam an espresso about 20 minutes before you go in and blow their hair back. You’ll do great.

@Sunsy thanks, appreciate it! @bimmy-lee thanks dude! Btw my Territory would be Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. So with that said, Ill be trekking through your area more often than not. A lunch or beer might have to be in the cards.

@NintendoByNature Wishing you best of luck; that interview will be over before you know it. Not sure whether this works on you but I found that it helps me when I tell myself that I only have to do whatever it is once, it's a nice psychological trick to make things seem a little bit more trivial. Either way you'll make it through tomorrow.

@NintendoByNature Just imagine ROB64 telling you Good Luck. That’s my contribution.

@NintendoByNature Good luck! I can definitely sympathize - both with interview jitters (I'm not a particularly strong interviewer) and the long plane time. Flights themselves aren't bad in my opinion, but the hassle up to that point is highly stressful. Plus I don't think anyone enjoys traveling in clothes they aren't comfortable in.

You've got this! Just avoid the spicy, gassy, pungent foods, being TOO honest in your interview (one of my common pitfalls), and be wary when the salary questions come up.

At the very least, the flight is a great excuse for some Switch time.

Edit: I also hope you're flying out of Midway. I've never been to O'Hare, but I've heard it's nuts.

@KarateLuigi yea that's a good idea. Thanks for the tip. I kinda do the same thing but i tell myself, i dont NEED this job. Which makes me a bit more relaxed. @HobbitGamer thanks duuuuude.
@Tyranexx noted...no spicy wings, creamy cheddar soup, or shots of jagermeister( makes me sick lol). That's my downfall too is honesty, but that's also how I built my career as an outside salesman. As for the salary thing, They already gave me what they intend to pay me which is a bump in pay from my current employment. But I've been working on this big job( biggest order in company history) and I'm owed ALOT which I would have to walk away from should I accept this offer. With that in mind, I'm going to ask for half of that sum added to my base, Or a sign on bonus with the full amount. Lol i was going to request midway, as it's a straight 40 min in from i55 for me; but they picked ohare which I hate, but they're paying for the flight and any expenses I incur. So oh well, ohare it is 🙁

@NintendoByNature
Wear a blue formal shirt during interview.
Blue is one of the best colors to wear on a job interview because is exudes trust and confidence.

@Anti-Matter I have a grey suit and white collared shirt I just picked up from my dry cleaners. I'm considering a blue tie though if that counts!

@ThanosReXXX Even though I'm new to Dragon Quest, I am very much NOT new to JRPGs like Dragon Quest. Although it's entirely possible that I missed something somewhere that was very obvious if I had just turned some corner that I thought was part of the background. One of the few gripes I have with the game is that it's not always entirely clear where you can and cannot go. There are a lot of invisible walls I ran into jumping around.

Also yes, I forgot the S. lol

Ok. My five hour nap was only interrupted by a few visits to the bathroom, and I started feeling better after the emergency “use the other way out” protocol happened. Don’t you just love how that’s the part you DON’T want to happen, but once it does everything else kinda feels better?

I’m just thankful my body knows exactly when to wake up... Mmhm nothing quite like a bit of food poisoning to remind you you’re mortal.

@NintendoByNature - Heck yeah, now I hope you accept the position. If that’s your region, the old Fort shouldn’t be too far down your priority list, and it’s a good layover spot geographically. Hope we can make it happen. Just a heads up, I have a face tat that says, “Psycho”, but it’s just a joke.

@StableInvadeel - Oof, I’m no stranger to bouts of food poisoning, I have a few horrible stories I’ve collected over the years. All of them due to various pork products. It’s so true though, everything is good after you bend down and face the toilet. It’s a relief that almost makes the entire ordeal worth it just because it’s so incredible that it’s over and you didn’t die.

@RedderRugfish - I meant to ask you what came off the Taco Bell menu recently? You posted about it, and I meant to follow up. I go full on neckbeard when I treat myself to TB, so I’m hoping my Doritos Locos tacos are still available.
