Applied for the work position, finally...

I put it off for a while, as evident with my other posts... 

I was anxious I would fail the speed typing test, to the point of finding any other job online so I'd not have to apply for this one... after finding no other alternatives and actually wanting to do this job in general, I decided on a "if I fail I fail, might as well do it, get it over with, and stop hiding" ...

I passed the speed typing test though, then the English Proficiency test, and the editing test, I looked into the transcription training... I tried it today. A 90 minutes to transcribe 20 minutes of audio in their formatting test... I couldn't finish all of the audio, but hopefully as I spell checked often and made sure it was all in their format, it'll show I am ok at doing the job and I get offered a position...

Daruma has been my moral support... I love Daruma/s a lot and use them for a lot of things when I need some help or assistance. This Daruma is literally for helping me with getting a good job I can do from online.


だるまさん、お疲れさまでした~頑張っていました、ね?
Good work, Daruma~ We tried our best, didn't we?

じゃね!/ See you later!

My trip outside last night

So I was outside, here was my outfit for the meet up, with the owl key ring on my zipper:


And here's inside the pub with my wine 🍷⾣~


I guess it wasn't focused 笑/w 

I was rather hung over this morning, not in sickness but fatigue was a bit of an issue, I'm feeling confident that I don't need to drink except when I go out for the meet ups once a month, so health wise, I should be rather good...

I did some typing practice now that my laptop charger arrived and I'm getting used to this keyboard again and typing at 70 WPM, so hopefully after work tomorrow, I'll come home and practice, then do their test... then I can hopefully pass and start the next parts of the application and testing/training...

Have a good night invisible readers~ 👻かんぱい~

I got a key ring 笑/w

I got a key ring, had "Hikikomori OUT!" written on it and it arrived already...

Very impressed with the speed of that, I'm also out tomorrow as I go to meet online friends once a month to drink and eat... it is literally the only socialising I do outside of work. Work which isn't actually a socialising place, being anti-social hours and lone working...

So, I can test this out tomorrow as proof I left the apartment for something other than work, even if it is the general once a month drinks with online people I started to attend over a year ago to try to not be as Hikikomori as I was... and kind of still am... but! At least I go out once a month... Once a month is better than zero a month...

I'm a recovering selective mute, so the amusing or depressing part of the meet ups I joined, amusing or depressing depending on your humour, is that I couldn't speak for just over a year of going to meet up, had to type on a tablet to "converse" with them... so I'm mildly proud I can actually speak out loud there now with the people/friends... slow and steady at least... as I used to be too terrified to use the public bathroom whiles there too so, I am also very happy that I am able to actually go to the toilet when needed there too 笑/w...

So it's a start/was a start at least...

Here's the key ring 笑/w:


And whiles we are on the subject of photos, birds and outside, I fed some birds today, 
This one was cute:

I really like birds... I might have to see if something bird related is near by enough for an outing... that could help get me out of the apartment 笑/w...

Have a good night, invisible readers (^-^)/
