    One or both of the cats chewed my keyboard cable through. I semi fixed it but just went and bought a cheap bluetooth keyboard. I was out for many hours and they were bored. They are not fooled by the birds youtubes anymore. This mean I’m finally going to have to put all cables in under rugs and gaff others plus put the mouse away when I go out. The kitten got himself locked in the closet for a little while and mumma was scratching at the door. She’s so protective and knows how to communicate with me through her movements. It’s pretty special. Two months with the little darlings and I’m loving them very much at this stage. Crazy cat lady I’m becoming. New work is better than expected and I can leave it at work.

    Still haven’t heard confirmation from my old manager which is par for the course. Just terrible at communication, but always a fucking know it all. I’ll escalate it to his group manager on Monday, if not. He’ll have had all weekend by then. Stupid cunt. Most spineless piece of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. Sleazy, lazy and badly trained. Nuff said. I’ve decided I will got through with some further action against them as well but I’m not sure exactly what, work safe wil be called first anyway. Artists don’t have a very good union but I have no desire to let them get away with the bullshit they get away and the constant sexual harrassment of staff is just fucking disgusting and I’ve always spoken out about it but no one else has. Everyone sat in my car talking about how bad it was, then did the same thing when it suited them or they were intox on booze and whatever other drugs they could find on the floor. Resentful it turns out I still am.

    The only decision I have to make tonight is whether to wear my cute new little denim skirt over my leggings to the aa meeting or not. Tough call.

    This place is soothing though and putting it down in writing is therapy indeed.

    Again, thanks to all you good humans for endless words of support over the last year. Its been a challenging and rewarding year and I’m so glad I’ve had people I don’t know all that well to journal with. You all rock and I wish we could all be in a room together right now so I could cry and tell you how much I’ve grown to love you all in person individually.

      Congratulations on your sobriety :) May I ask you something? How has AA been for you? I’ve gone to NA meetings and they are a complete shit show. Just really, really toxic people and I don’t want to be around them. I’m not interested in being a crab pulled into a bucket.
      Was thinking of going to an AA meeting and just sitting and listening.

        AA from my experience has been super friendly and accepting. YMMV. Try a couple of local meetings. No judgements or dogmatic approaches. Listening to others is a great way to learn about it.
