Budgeting and (potential) new job stuff

[obstinatecondolement]

I've crunched some numbers and I can afford to go to VidUKon in person and buy a new laptop if I am very strict with my finances for the next few months. I've been virtually twice now and it would be lovely to go in person. I don't know if I will have a new vid for the con this year, because it'll be another few months before I can get a new laptop and the old one is really not going to hold up to much more video editing with its 4GB of RAM and next to no space on the harddrive.

HOWEVER THOUGH, it might not be such a crunch if I get this new job that I applied for a while ago. I've gotten an email calling me for a preliminary interview and, although there are a lot of candidates for the role, I think I would be really good at it. It's working in a high end yarn shop. I have also applied for another job in a different yarn shop, but I haven't heard back from them yet. But it would be great to make some extra money doing something that wasn't soul destroying.

I hope that the interview goes well, and not just because it'd be fabulous to have you at VidUKon :)

Thank you! Fingers crossed 🤞

It would be great to go to Cardiff in June. I should be able to if I am frugal with the housekeeping regardless, but it would be nice for it to be a bit more comfortable. Of course, once I am employed again there's getting the time off work, but hopefully that won't be an issue.

I hope you can travel to the event, and also get the job!! :) Fingers crossed.

Thank you! I should definitely be able to get to the event, unless regulations change again between then and now, if I can keep to my budget.

Good luck with the job!! :)
And yay for Vidukon!! I'll probably do it virtually again this year.

Thank you! I love the virtual con, it'll be interesting to see how the two are married this year.

Good luck, I hope you get the job. It sounds like a cool place to be working, and great that it aligns with your interests.
