Hello!

These are strange times indeed...we are making the best of it. We have been working from home for 2 weeks now and with the new government announcement yesterday we found out it's going to last for at least 3 more weeks. They also since today closed to borders of the states, so we are 'locked' in our state also for that 3 week period. Luckily for us the moving to our new apartment is nearby, but we are scratching our heads and thinking about how we are going to be able to do our moving, we just have to hope that moving companies are working or otherwise strike deals with friends/coworkers that have vans/trucks. It would be really horrible for our savings account if we can't move soon because we will be paying for 2 places + the storage unit. X_X So yeah I can't wait for this to be over, but I think it's a good decision from my government to close the state borders because the spread is going so fast and especially in my neighborhood not much people seem to care and still get together in big groups, especially in the shopping mall.

My family in my home country has it worse, because their government is taking less well measures and I have a lot of family members working in the medical field, so they all have to continue to go to work. :( How is your situation, and the one from your family? I hope good measures are taken, because I think I remember I saw your state also have a high number of cases? Can you still do your work?

Everybody at my new job is very kind to me and as far as properly working from home is possible, it is actually going better than expected. It's only a bit annoying because I need to learn a lot of new kinds of software so you're basically screensharing at all times, but still with delays in sharing it's not as good as working in person...and I've noticed a lot of miscommunications already, which would probably not have happened if we were working in an office.

I got a huge boost with government approvals, so that is nice. If the last time we spoke I would put myself on 100%, now I only have 50% left. I'm now currently stuck on waiting to get approved for health insurance, because only then I can apply for the next 50% of the paperwork that is on hold.

I actually got multiple jobs in the past where they never told me test results, but I still got in. :P I think they keep it secret on purpose so when people are hired and working together they don't know if they scored better or worse than their coworkers? Could be bad for group morale to know.

Sometimes I also feel like jobs throw you on a backburner like "we have better applications, but let's keep this person in our pool in case the others disappoint", and then 'the others' get hired and they just forget to reply to you completely... >.>

Most of the jobs I had were the kind that replied fast and seemed to be excited from the other side as well. Only exception on that I remember is my first job out of college: I needed to do this test for them and they would let me know if it was a yes/no after a week. 2 weeks passed and I was pretty sure I was getting ghosted again, but then I got a call from them that they wanted to hire me (never apologized for being a week late either >.>). Found out on my first day that some others had to wait even longer (they already did the test 1 or 2 weeks before me) and they were trying to give us the same starting day and because of that didn't meet the reaction deadline.

Currently my whole day at work right now is video interviews basically. xD I'm OK in group meetings, but most of my 1-on-1 meetings get so much awkward silences. :')

The company I work for (and what I think most others are doing as well) is doing the application process until the point where you would meet IRL and then put the process on hold (mostly it's video interview + 1 assignment before the first IRL meeting). It must be really horrible to be jobsearching right now. My timing was unexpectedly really lucky before everything closed down.

Thank you! I have done many years of volunteer work, which depending on the job is differently received. I would say 50% appreciated it, 25% was doubtful in a way of 'are you not choosing your unpaid job over our paid job?' and 25% of it completely discredited it because it was unpaid and 'did not count as much as a real job'.

Hrm, my site is not up to date, but I would say best: cosplay.com/cos... my Calne, which the best place will be replaced hopefully by my next project (Ymir from Queen's Blade Rebellion). And worst is this old one: cosplay.com/cos... next to it not being close to source material, it barely survived a day of wearing because I was so inexperienced with sewing back then. ^^''

Yeah it might be a cheese and custard combination and LOL yeah same for me. Especially with all those cute snacks from Japan. :)

Well all of them are cancelled right now of course... :P But Finland does have quite a bit of conventions! From what I understood 2 big ones that are 3 days, one mid-sized one of 2 days and then a lot of smaller 1-day events. I moved a half-finished cosplay with me to Finland and plan on completing it and entering it in a competition also over here. :) And apparently they do also have those meets as flea markets! So I will definitely take a bunch of figures with me. Unfortunately I don't have a car anymore (or will get one here), so I'll be a bit more limited in what I can bring.

Yeah I have seen online bakeries and even ice cream stores offering shipping, but it is all rush shipping and you have to be at home to take the delivery, because it will not survive at a pick up point. Anyhow, over here it seems like we are not able to send or receive any items in the world until Summer. ^^''

Maybe if I would ever have a job one day where I can work all day from home, then my location doesn't matter except for the weekly groceries. :) But as long as you're young and also like to do regular visits to friends and family, it can be very annoying to live in such a place. In my situation it would always be hard to convince people to come visit me (although my house was bigger than most of my friends), which meant either skipping on social events or driving a lot to go to them all the time. :/

It wasn't really willingly, mostly because of job changes or the places we were renting were really shitty and we were already trying to look for something better while we were in another place. You made me think about the amount haha.
#1 We moved in together while I was a college student and he was working, to a city inbetween his work and my college.
#2 We moved to a better apartment in the same city.
#3 We moved to the other side of the country for a new job opportunity.
#4 We bought a house in the same area as #3 and moved into there.
And then #5 was transporting all the goods to Finland storage unit and a small bit to the temporary apartment, with the upcoming #6 being the move to our permanent apartment.

I already started collecting when I was living with my parents, so for some of my figures this will be the 7th time they are getting moved. ^^'' Moving so much is really expensive and a strain on body and mental health as well, so I really hope that our next place will be more permanent. We are both working very nice jobs with lots of opportunities in our career fields, so I hope this is "it" now. ^^

I think I'm only really nostalgic about the city I grew up in, the places my husband and I lived at were not so good for different reasons (one was a super busy city with high crime rate and the other was the one in the middle of nowhere we talked about). I am very excited about the place we are living in now in Finland, though! :)

What about you, you moved around as well or mainly still living around the area you grew up in?

One of my old coworkers was Macedonian and she always told me so much wonderful stories about it, that was what inspired me to go to there someday as well. :) It looks like this really interesting combination of the weather and culture being a combination of East-European with Greece. :)

Thank you! I'm typing this right now with a really worn out body because we spend all day cleaning in the new apartment, tomorrow another day of cleaning incoming... X_X But we hope to have the movers next weekend, so we really need it cleaned asap!

I feel like I'm rambling so much about myself, anything happened in your life recently? Except for the Corona craze. ^^''

Thank you I’ll keep my eye on those companies.

I’M SO GLAD I FOUND A BRS AS OBSESSED AS I AM!!! I actually had no idea there was 3D animation- it was that good for it’s time. All the characters are just so beautiful and ahh the story of Yuu, Mato, Kagari and Yomi was so beautiful. Kagari/Chariot is my favourite, because... evil loli.

I would love to discuss the show more with you, you can direct message me if you’d like!!! :0

I’m heavily considering playing Nekopara now, but like you I’m also trying to finish all the anime I’ve started! Black Rock Shooter being one... I’m obsessed.

And yesss, I want those so bad (the first lewd but so cute really)-
especially the bunny suit Vanilla- she looks so adorable! And if she had real clothes that would make it much more amazing.

I actually had no idea the Zero Two Nendo was that rare! I guess I got really lucky and found her in one of the anime figure stores in the local mall. I’mma cherish her more than I already do now. c:

I haven’t played the Nekopara game yet either but I want to. I have to say the Nekopara figures even if some are crazy expensive, are really cool because of how the clothes aren’t part of the sculpt and it’s like a dress up sort of thing!

Thank you for the message!! Yes even though my collection is rather measly right now it will get better. c:
I see you like Nekopara too. My favourite girls are Vanilla and Cinnamon.

Thank you! ^ ^
