I just conducted my first face-to-face interview today in more than a year. And I was caught off-guard by the onslaught of the dreaded Payday Friday traffic. It took me at least 1.5 hrs driving back home, almost like my daily commute during BC (Before Covid) years. It’s like, what lockdown are we talking about?!

I will be filing for my vacation leave two weeks from now. I’m so tired and need a recharge…My day today, save for the interview, was garbage. My edit was subpar, which my boss in Tokyo caught. Fortunately (or unfortunately?), I was already beyond caring that it didn’t cause hyperventilation and tight stomach muscles in me, which under normal circumstances would have happened.

I’m thinking of driving to Caliraya Lake, bike around, and camp. Hopefully, there won’t be thunderstorms.
