Hi!

I used to be the Lead Community Manager at Linden Lab (from 2011 to 2020).
I still love Second Life. I still love the Second Life community. I was always a Resident first.

Wrapped both mega interviews that I had this week - and now we wait .. I hope to be able to share good news soon. Talking to people, even on video, for 4.5 hours is exhausting - two days in a row nearly destroyed me - but now it's back to the waiting game.

Can't remember the last time a video game brought me to tears - but Detroit: Become Human most definitely did. I got the 'good' ending and I can't imagine replaying it without the story I got for these incredible characters. https://images.plurk.com/7iqMMGOZjgCl7lk81EDH1t.jpg

My alt (original account) finally broke down and got a Lelutka Evo head because 1) I finally messed around with BOM and 2) people started supporting it more. I wonder if that will continue now that Genus is back. Both heads are beautiful.

Job hunt update. Two major panel interviews this week (via video) - both at incredible companies. One would be my dream job, the other a close second. Fingers crossed - panel interviews are tough for me - 4 hours of meeting new people and talking. Whew! Tues/Wednesday are going to be busy!!

Second interview (first was with the in house recruiter) scheduled for tomorrow. Video call with the hiring manager ... I really want this. Good vibes appreciated. I wish I could spill more about it but i don't want to jinx it!

I'm still waiting to hear about one exciting opportunity, and another one just came up that legit would be my dream job ( side by side with the one I had at LL, of course). Fingers crossed! Phone interview tomorrow!

Final exam is done, and I will get an A with more than the total points possible (yay for extra credit). After speaking to counselor, I should be getting my degree once these grades are in the system.

It's really weird to not be part of the SL17B festivities planning this year. After 8 years. I hope it's wonderful, but I miss organizing shop and hop, music fest, etc.

Apologies if there is a list I am unaware of, but has anyone put together a list of black-owned SL brands that we can support similar to what we are seeing outside of SL?
