Mmm, Kit Kats

annathepiperThat's a big no go on Tuesday's interview, ah well! That same Volt recruiter's being very good at finding more contract nibbles, again with Real, but so far I'm being shot down by not having any actual foreign language fluency. I've done plenty of localization engineering work and tested on a whole bunch of localized products, but these new nibbles are asking for people who have actual operational fluency. I've studied German but am not fluent in it by a long shot. (Makes me wish I had enough extra money and time to invest in a serious refresher course--the University of Washington Experimental College German class was okay, but really not up to the level of getting somebody fluent, I think.)
In other news, went down to the shops today to run a couple of errands and to get in some walking, and then walked down with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarbird to the little grocery store at the bottom of the hill to get Kit Kats. Because mmm Kit Kats.
So far today, not much writing to speak of either. I think with all of the recent days I've had going way over (non-Nano) quota, I may be about ready for another writing break. Which is vexing, because a big part of me wishes I could write faster, but on the other hand it doesn't seem proper to try to push my brain too hard for the words. I'll see if I can at least do my 500 words tonight, anyway.
On the way down to the shops I listened to the second Great Big Sea podcast, and was quite amused by the B'ys' unrepentant swearing, the yakking about David Lee Roth and Bob Marley, and the periodic bursting into song. On the way back, I listened to some of the Carbon Leaf tracks I pulled down off their site, specifically the ones off 5 Alive, which were pretty cool. Excellent guitar solos, especially in "Wandrin' Around". And now I know whereseimaisin gets her journal title from, too! Favorite track out of that set: "Blue Ridge Laughing".
Thursday miles: 3.0 (walking)
Miles out of Hobbiton: 496.9
