        I’ve been in this job for over 2 years now. Wouldn’t say it’s better. Cruisey but frustratinging because basic things are made more difficult in the name of ‘security’. 1 minute jobs take 5 minutes etc.

        I am studying education though, but that’s long term.

    Sooooo I got the call. It’s sounds promising. I won’t go into too much details because it’s early stages but it is a potential writing collaboration idea I had and they are receptive to the idea.

    They’re gonna talk to their people and see if and what can be done and we can work from there. I’m hopeful. It’s going to be so cool if it comes to fruition.

    I definitely feel different to how I did last week.

    I guess, more confident, or maybe sure of myself?

    It’s not surprising in a way, but I didn’t notice what I lost now that I have it back.

        That’s incredibly kind of you Baku ❤️ I really appreciate you saying that. It was getting really fucking hard but you can’t give up because what’s the other option?

        And it’s all good about replying to what’s been happening for you. It doesn’t bring my mood down at all. I just wish you didn’t have to deal with this bullshit mate.

      I think in light of recent events you’re probably super happy and relieved as well.

      You’ve been through a lot with the emotional roller coaster and to come out of it on the other side is of great relief.

    Get paid, think “hmm that’s a bit much”, check psyslip, per hour is off. Have had payroll biff it up before, so send a quick heads up “oi you typoed and overpaid” boss says “oh yeah forgot to tell you, your hourly rate went up. So did your super”.

    On top of the tax cuts that’s an extra $200 in my pocket. Marvellous

    My sky pretty has a crane

    Now let me explain what this crane is doing.

    It is building an exclusive 55yo and older community called st. clare in kew. Shit out of luck if you’re 54 but the joke is on them because the grand kids will visit and you’re back at square 1.

    Here’s an odd one (to me at least).

    P’s are going to a funeral tm and everyone has to chip in a $fiddy.

    Extremely wealthy family. I’ve never heard of that before. Is that a thing now?

    I understand they’re expensive but just never seen that before.

      Extremely wealthy and they’re insisting people chip in for a funeral? That’s extremely tacky.

      I’ve heard of people asking for donations to a charity rather than flowers, but never for the cost of the funeral.

      E: it would be tacky even if they weren’t wealthy

      Very odd, I’ve been to a lot of funerals and never have been asked to chip in.

      It’s up to the family to organise and decide what to do with the funeral and it’s their responsibility to finance it and everyone’s else role is to pay respects or to celebrate their life.

      The only time where I might have to was when they organised a after lunch or something but I didn’t go so no idea if that ended up being split.

      Me either - sounds dodgy to me. Is the funeral going to be catered??? If so, why??? Usually funeral expenses are covered by the executor of the deceased’s Will as a first charge on the estate. The whole “after payment of funeral expenses and just dues and taxes” bit that nearly every Will starts off with.
      Sounds like the beneficiaries of the estate want to maximise their slice of the pie to me.

          My partner always gets a mocha, loves them. I always get a cappuccino.

          But the baristas will ALWAYS give ME the mocha, and my partner the cappuccino. Then we swap, in front of them lol.

          Just a funny observation of unconcious bias lol

    I’ve been informed that it’s Vegas’ 10th birthday on Saturday! I need to figure out what to get him. Think I’ll hit up the butcher but I might have to wait until Saturday to do it so it doesn’t spoil the surprise, because he’ll smell it. I’ll swing by the big pet shop too and see if I can find something he might like.

    Edit: Oh it’s also my nanna’s 98th birthday tomorrow. I don’t think she wants anything from the butcher.
