Event Log: 6/17/14 - Interviewed

I felt really drowsy last night. I guess the lack of sleep finally caught up with me. I haven't had that feeling in ages. It was nice to have it. Of course, I just had to wake up at 6:30 in the morning.

Since my interview was at 1:00, I watched some past streams of Destiny to pass the time. Then I napped for an hour and prepared myself. It was a terrible drive only because I couldn't stop coughing. When I was waiting in the lobby, I used all my willpower to not cough. Funny thing, once I got into it with the interviewers, I only coughed once. I was the first one they interviewed for the position and it seemed like they're in a rush to fill it.

Unfortunately, I'm going to assume worst case scenario and write it off as a loss. Last time I got excited about my chances, I got slapped in the face with a rejection. This cold ain't doing me any favors either, but I don't blame it. It's been awhile since my last interview so I wasn't as prepared. Hell, most of the time, I just wing it.  Better luck, next time.

Once I got home, I got something to eat and then napped again. I know I'm screwing up my sleep schedule but getting rest in this fashion is critical in helping me recover. It's starting to taper off a bit, but it seems like a few more days before I'm completely clear. At least I don't need a cough drop in my mouth all the time. I was getting sick of having a blue tongue.

Once night descended, my friend and I attacked the enemy in Battlefield 4. Ever since the Destiny alpha, I made a conscious decision to stick with my friend. Usually, we split up and try to cover more ground--save a base or attack a lone one. But since the alpha, I wanted to try better cooperative play since the ability to spawn each other is something unique. In Destiny, there are random spawns so it's hard to coordinate when we're on opposite sides of the map. I don't know if this focus on teamplay helped us win more games, but it did wonders for my K/D ratio. We took a break from Naval Strike and played Second Assault and China Rising. We won the majority of our games, which is rare these days. I recall more ragequitting than winning. I guess it's just one of those days.
