3:55am - Well, it hasn't been an easy night so far. I got an email reply that said the company I was targeting wasn't hiring for that position anymore. I don't think they chose to hire anybody at all. I'm kind of broken up over it, but I'm a tough guy and I'll deal.

It got me inspired to come out to the McDonalds at night and work again, but that wasn't easy either. I walked all the way down to the McDonalds, and walked all the way back home. Despite being a 24 hour McDonalds location, it was closed for maintainance.

Now I'm at a different McDonalds location than I usually work at. It's hardly ideal. There's only one plug-in spot, and there's a guy sitting next to it. I think he's a transient or somebody just passing the time while stuck out of his home or something. Anyways what I'm getting at is I don't think he'll be leaving before I do.

The table material is reacting poorly with my mouse as well, so it's hard to move my pointer around as well. Hopefully that won't interfere with my work.

As for my work, well, it's time for me to relearn Unity's built in NavMesh implementation so I can write the movement code for my tag game.

4:15am - I got some breakfast and that fellow left. I'm not sure what he does but he had a flashlight and rubber gloves. I guess it was time for him to go to work? There was another person with a flashlight who came in after. I don't know if it's very dark in this neighborhood or what.

Anyways I'mma watch some Tutorial vids while I eat my breakky.

4:46am - I'm not finding any great insights into Unity AI scripting today, so it looks like I'll be going with the simplest method I can think of. When the tagPlayers wander, they'll just pick a random spot 1m from their current location and set it as their destination. We'll see how that looks first before I change it. Probably it won't look that good. XD

5:11am - Well, he moves now so that's a big improvement. But he switches movement targets so quickly that he basically just wiggles left and right. I need to set a destination for an actual period, maybe a second? I'm not sure what the best way to do that is though. I'll ask somebody.

5:19am - Oops, suddenly have to leave. The McDonalds guys told me my van will get blocked in by their delivery truck. So I'll do more elsewhere.
