Prepping to Leave

So it looks like my job search has failed. I had hoped to get a job early this year so I could save money up for traveling to events. After several rejection emails and never hearing back from several others, I decided it's time to throw in the towel.

I'll still be trying to look for a job, but that'll have to wait. My business partner told me he needs me to travel with him for about a month to work the booth at 6 tournaments. That's a tournament every week. We'll be going all across the US, and one time in Canada. Since I hadn't found a job yet, I decided to do it. After all, Rectangle Corner is one of my only sources of income. Even though I'm not making money yet, I believe the potential for the business is very high.

There is actually one tournament I'll be going to before that. I'm going to be setting up a booth there, but it's my first time doing it alone. My business partner will be getting ready for another tournament during that time. I'm really looking forward to it. We've been working on expanding our convention presence to other non-mainstream areas. We usually only go to gaming conventions like EVO or Genesis, but I've been applying to several Anime and comic conventions.

I'm definitely not gonna be spending any money on a hotel when I do this. My car is more than enough to handle a few day trip. I've been getting ready for about a week now. I used to drink Huel on these trips to save money and time, but now, I asked AI to help me create a more palatable and cheaper diet. I'll be using dry foods that won't need to be refrigerated. The photo below is almost everything I'll need.

Even though I couldn't find a job, it's not over for this year. I still have enough money to go to a few track meets and tournaments here and there. Maybe I can go to some around the area of the conventions I'll be going to. I'll need to do some research to see what's best. If things don't look affordable on paper, I'll just have to wait until next year to compete. I still need to save money, so I'm definitely going to be looking for jobs for Fall and Winter.
