It’s 9:00pm as I’m typing this, and I’m tempted to make another Minute Warning post. But instead, I will take this time to be thankful and make the 2nd edition of the Gratitude Log!
So, what am I thankful for as of this moment? Well, this is going to be a long post because it’s about my current job. Buckle up!
Continue reading Gratitude Log III feel so tired right now. But I don’t want to ruin my blogging streak, so here I am.
I slept early last night, but when I woke up this morning, I feel groggy. It’s like I needed 2-3 more hours of sleep. But I needed to be energized because I had a job interview at 9:00 am, so I had a healthy breakfast and 1 strong cup of coffee.
And what happened during the job interview? I talked to the company’s HR staff and creative director, and I feel a bit intimidated. At one point, my throat dried out of worry. (I think the coffee made me feel awake and worry at the same time.) But they were assuring and they told me to relax.
Overall, the interview went well… I think? And they confirmed that the job will be on night shift. Damn. That’s not what I want. But we’ll see if I change my mind. I miss designing websites and I would like to earn more as well.
I would like to tell more about what happened in the afternoon and tonight, but my stomach is aching a bit. Damn it.

Yesterday, I had my 1st job interview of 2023. After so many months of looking for a web/graphic design job opportunity, I finally got at least an interview. Hell yes! And looking back at my interview, I may have mumbled a few times, but I think it went well. I just hope it did.
During the interview, I learned that the job opportunity will have a mid-day shift or night shift. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but even if I’m nocturnal, I don’t want a night shift. I hope I get a mid-schedule. Pretty please, Lord. Please. And the job is just an FX ride away from home, which will be convenient for me.
After the interview, I was given 2 design tests. The 1st one is a homepage redesign (with desktop and mobile versions) and the 2nd is a social media ad design (Apple-themed with square and vertical sizes). The test deadline is tomorrow at 10am.
And guess what? I’m already done with the social media ad design. Since it is Apple-themed, I made a minimalist artwork with flat-lay images of a MacBook and an iPad and then the copy and a few logos. Why make it complicated, right?
As for the homepage mockups, I already have both desktop and mobile versions. But I’m worried that they may look for a mockup with dropdown menus – which I haven’t done and honestly, I don’t have enough time to prepare those. But basically, the default homepage mockups are done. I just hope those are already enough. Wish me luck?
