    Recruiter couldn’t get hold of one of my references, so I messaged him and he’s calling her back.

    One reference check is done and went really well. Thank you to the unnamed user that stuck their neck out for me ❤️

    I was freaking out about nothing. So on edge waiting to start my job. Keep expecting something to go wrong.

    Everything is fine.

    Sometimes I wonder if the cat sees me as more than a food dispenser.

    I’ve been sick in bed all day pretty much, and she’s sitting beside me. When I fell asleep and woke up suddenly she was all alert, checking to see if I was OK.

    Right now, the heater is on in the lounge room. She has a favourite spot she sits in (on top of her TP nest).

    But she’s sitting in the cold bedroom with me instead.

    Good old fluffy butt.

      They know. I have one love bug, one standoffish queen and a sometimes spicy sausage. During the day its usually hands off the two girls, but they take turns to sleep with me at night.

      They know. She loves you, as much as a cat can. This is her way of looking after you :) you truly are loved by a cat.

    Time to switch off the news.

    All this Trump stuff making him out like a hero makes me sick to the stomach.

      Times like this I am so very thankful I do not watch TV. I don’t even know where the aerial cable is in my apartment, and the TV is currently unplugged in the spare room lol. If I want to watch something I use a streaming service (like taskmaster on channel 9 or whatever it is, not Netflix), or if I want news I go to the Guardian or ABC. That way I can pick what I want to know about.

      Trump is a fuckwit.

        he’s a pedophile

        being shot at doesn’t change that

        in fact, maybe that’s why he was shot !!

        I’m just turned on the ps5 and sitting on a menu screen.

        Might watch some YouTube videos that I sub to if there’s anything new or put a movie on

      How is someone who has repeatedly called for his political opponents to be assassinated a hero?

        I’m not the person to ask since I loathe it so much.

        His fanatic followers would provide a better answer to that.

      Got into an argument with a mate the other day where I said he deserved to be shot. My mate was incredulous about how serious a claim that was, but what’s trumps death toll do you reckon? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? To say nothing of the people he swindled.

    Meeting went poorly. But I said that if they don’t retrofit a deadbolt onto my spare room I’ll install one myself and they won’t have a key, and they took that pretty seriously, and said they’d look into it. I more than likely won’t because I have no clue how I’d do that (plus the door frames extend a few cm above the door), but they don’t know that.

    Besides that, I think he knocked them back for a kitchen renovation, but unfortunately it seems he knocked everyone back on anything. They’re not going to fix the rotting floor or the uneven stairs, at least anytime soon.

    But the property issues are the least of my concern at the moment. I’ll be having that meeting with the area manager at 2. He’ll bring the program manager (who’ll take minutes), and I’ll be recording it on my phone and bringing my support person. I need to start making some notes so I don’t get all discombobulated and agree to everything he says.

        Ah, it’s not all bad. I’m probably going to end up with a bunch of things in better condition than the ones he stole. I’m actually working through the list now, they wanted links for everything. Ignoring the anxiety and extra teaspoon of trauma, I’m probably coming out of this better than I’m going in

    Recruiter for the job I got called me. I missed the call, rang her back.

    She didn’t answer and I’m nervous

    Edit: She’s doing reference checks. Still don’t know why she called me…

      I’m not sure I want to know what they are. Are we talking leather and chains, or maybe moulding kits for intimate areas?

    Sickie = chucked. Not going into an office with a now properly sore throat, and I decided I won’t even wfh today as I could do with resting up/catching up on things I couldn’t do on the weekend, rather than pushing myself.

      Is it still “chucking” a sickie if you’re genuinely sick? I’d just call it being responsible and looking after yourself and your colleagues.

      Feel better soon!

        Yeah, it isn’t really chucked tbh. This is a legit one! I would’ve had to go interact with the public for work today as well and no way I was doing that while sick. I probably could wfh if I pushed myself but… it’s only Tuesday.

        I think this job requires me to get a !@#$ing med cert to take sick leave though so I think I have to go and sort that out… I’ll have to go and check if a stat dec can be used instead.

          At worst use instant scripts for 1 day if you really need medical cert. it costs 19 dollars to get one but that’s a so much cheaper than going to a doctor with no bulk billing if you only need it for one day.

    Mr Woof has taken to providing a full turndown service for my bed each night. This involves piling the doona up at the foot of my bed and curling up on top of it.

    I thought I had a nasty patch of dry skin on the back of my hand, but it turned out to be dried remnants of the icing from my morning tea.
