What a beautiful place! The photo itself slightly reminds me of old French movies. It has the same color palette

I'm having a pity party right now. A friend and I were planning to go to a concert a few hours away and I just got an email less than a week before the event that it's cancelled.
I'm very disappointed. I originally wanted to go with my friend and she wasn't sure it would work, so I decided I would go by myself, and then I could go to two concerts in nearby cities on consecutive nights, which sounded really fun. Then my friend she could go to the first concert, so I bought tickets and she booked a hotel nearby. It was all happy thoughts until today, since now I am still committed to go with my friend to what turns out to be a non-refundable hotel, but she can't change her schedule to go to the second concert. All said, the logistics do not work for me to go to the second concert on my own without an insane amount of driving in one day and/or being a not-great friend. So now I'm bummed and feeling guilty about it.

Yes, I'll just have to watch Jack Black sing "Hit Me Baby One More Time" on repeat as a substitute.

I just had an interview at a place that people work. I think it went okay. I like my current job but I also like making more money, and this place pays you more money, so...

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that, Bren.
That must be very hard. They're losing a wonderful person. Do you have an idea of what you'd like to do next?

This has been the longest hiring process I've ever gone through... but I finally got a start date.
It's a tough place to get into and lots of rigorous entry hurdles to jump. So hopefully I like it.

I can hook you up if you are willing to relocate. My current at this moment job will be hiring.
