@matigo Thanks … unfortunately he came back to me the following day to tell me the position had been filled. I believe that could be recruiter speak for the position either may not have existed at all or that it was filled internally.
Ah well, I don't have control over that so I'm not going to stress about it.
So I received an email earlier today about a Bank Reconciliations Officer role on a 6 month contract. The recruiter obviously wants someone quickly if they're emailing after hours. I indicated my interest but with questions. Hopefully I'll get answers tomorrow.
2021 has so far been about achieving the little things.
From getting my pinball game working on a PC far older than the game itself to finding some decent software to convert images to SVG format so that work on a wiki I'm contributing to can continue, it's been a pretty good couple of days so far.
I have a few goals for 2021, top of that list is securing hopefully long term employment. I've applied for a few roles so far but there is one particular role that starts on Jan 18 I'm optimistic about - I hope to hear back about that one but we'll see. I suspect most recruiters will return on Jan 4.
@hybotics Agreed Dale. Welcome back my friend, it's been a while.
I had planned on travelling to Japan for my birthday this year but with international travel the way it is right now, even that's in doubt.
@matigo I'm not actually too sure about that. Just looked up the specs and it's an Intel Core i5-460M processor, if that helps.
I'm happy that it'll play the few games I have on it, including Among Us, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and now Pinball FX3.
The only lag I experience is trying to load a big challenge bomb in KTaNE but it's still good for practicing modules at least.
My ultimate plan is to sell the PC and the Mac (might get about $300 for each) and use that to go towards a gaming laptop.
@joeo10 Yep, I have a PS4, Switch and Wii U.
Oh and my almost 15 year old PS3 that hasn’t experienced the YLOD yet.
I don’t know how The Last of Us P2 won Game of the Year. Thought it would e been Ghost for sure!
@joeo10 Ghost of Tsushima was an awesome game to play. That has to be at the top, with The Last of Us Part 2.
I haven't played the latest update of Ghost yet (I think there's a new mode now) but it'll be good to get back to.
Also want to finish GTAV before VI comes out.
Yesterday I was looking at trade in options for my Windows PC because I thought the graphics card didn't meet the minimum requirements for my pinball game, despite making sure drivers were updated and checking the compatibility of DirectX.
Today I looked at the NVIDIA Control Panel and switched the GPU on the game from Intel to NVIDIA and voila, the game works.
Well then, I guess the trade in won't happen for a little while yet. Also, the PC is just over 10 years old.
