Attempting to wrap my thoughts around the thorny issue of What To Do Next.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The conversation with a recruiter I mentioned<\/a> led to a phone interview; For a variety of reasons I’m keeping a bit quiet on who it was with, but it went well.
\nThe slightly nervous laughter from all parties turned into actual laughter, which seems encouraging.<\/p>\n

Backtracking a little bit, to when the job interview was lined up, the dorm-room situation was clearly not going to help me prepare, nor was it the sort of thing that allows for a really good night’s sleep, even if you don’t have someone stumbling drunkenly through.
\nI checked with the nice hostel folks about private rooms, but the response was a sad “You ask too much of me”, followed by a “Nope”. Found an apartment hotel instead at a price I could live with, despite there being some species of sportsball event on over the weekend; I’m assuming that a studio with kitchen didn’t appeal to the one-day-stay sporting crowd.<\/p>\n

You can’t quite see it, but there’s a microwave\/convection oven off to the right, above a fridge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Murphy Bed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Unusual coat-hooks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vastly more expensive than the hostel, but it gave me the chance to sleep properly, and to have a space of my own for the first time since … October?
\nWorth the investment, I think.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks to travel, Google Maps had been getting more and more frantic with their pleas about becoming a Local Guide, probably because I answered some questions about the places I’ve been.
\nI eventually decided “what the hell; why not?” and joined up, on the off chance that there might be some sort of useful thing in there.<\/p>\n

Not sure on that, but a scroll through the “Missing Information” category demonstrated that the incredibly ghastly looking takeaway down the street from the hostel had no picture, so I took some. Actually pretty happy with how they turned out.<\/p>\n
