A personal note.

The crux of this post is that I was busy with my real world life the past three months and I got lazy about writing the game courier reinforcement rules for my two apothecary chess games, as I promised in early May. More details below.

Most of the month of May and early June I worked at an Romanian stock market trading company with Kazakh capital. I was unhappy that they did not provided the challenges I was promissed and the were unhappy because I am seemingly a slow programmer, so we've soon parted ways.

After that I had to interrupt the treatment for my mental illness that meant two difficult weeks.

After this I got employed at an medium american electronics company in Bucharest as an neural networks programmer. After two weeks I've decided to tell them that I used to be mentally ill, just in case the worse comes to pass. They have told me that I should have informed them on that since the interview and fired me oficially with no reason (as you can do that for the first 90 days according to Romanian law.).

So I don't have happy thougths to share but I'm back to the chess variants world, that's definetly a plus. First things first I will start enforcing rules for the apothecary games!
