So I guess we’re all good now. Recruiter messaged back saying it was a great reference.
HR rang to let me know my start date and time, and what to expect on my first day.
It’s done.
Thank you everyone for all your help and support ❤️❤️❤️
Now I’m going to give the cat a shit load of treats, and enjoy some video games without feeling guilty because I should be applying for jobs.
It’s been a huge learning experience the last 6 months. I won’t be forgetting the lessons any time soon.
FUCK YESSS!!! YOU DID IT! EVERYONE HERE IS AMAZING! AHHHHHH!!!
YOU DID IT! 🙌🙌 YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOOD THINGS!!! AHHHH!
Boom!
Wonderful just remember how to keep the story straight 🐈
Lucky I have a great memory lol
Congratulations 🎉

Well done man, you deserve it! You worked so hard to get this, congratulations 👏🎉

Woo hoo!

Treat yourself as well!
So many hugs
You deserve this. 😘

That’s great news and I’m so glad things have worked out
Reference has been given. Sounds like it went well! Thanks again to the poster here who was able to help me with that. Very much in their debt.
Now I’ll get a call from the recruiter later today or tomorrow which will give me the final word that we are all a go for next week.
Fingers crossed!
Edit: I send the recruiter a text to “touch base” and she said it was a great reference!!!
Thank you to the person who gave it this morning ❤️
I’m going to pretend everything is fine for next week. HR rang me yesterday letting me know who to meet and at what time.
🤞
🤞🤞🤞
You got this!!!
Good to hear dude, keep us all posted!

Children Aren’t Sexy Permit
Some scenario based test to determine if youre not a sociopath. Had to record myself answering and everything.
I’m on lunch and looked that up to amuse myself - some of those scenarios are really tricky.
Well done you!
Thanks. I had COVID when I did it too so I was super glad I managed to get through it all.
baleeted
so many hugs
are you able to go to emergency and be admitted to hospital?
This… it sucks but when the slow grind fails ER can express route
That’s the plan. I’ve done so before but didn’t get the procedure so I may need to keep returning
I’m so sorry. That sounds awful. I really hope that things improve. I know it’s cliche, and easier said than done, but staying positive and hopeful can help with coping and recovering from medical issues. You can get through this. DT needs you, stay strong.
That’s terrifying and I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I hope things improve and you have naught to fear. Sending my love and good vibes💜
Take care Melbaboutown -hugs- really hope you will recover soon, please do let us know if you also need anything too.
Mr Woof working on his turndown service

What a blessing!
Just so long as he doesn’t leave a chocolate drop on the pillow …

Beautiful. I love it when they’re a soft sleepy potato
Cosy fluff muffin 🧡
That is so cute!
Oh my goodness!!!
Happy Go-Live day folks! A project that should’ve taken max 3 weeks but ended up taking closer to 3 months is finally going in today. Threatened my team that if they bring up one more “Oh, BTW I just thought of X” in front of the vendor the next thing I deliver for them will be a resignation letter. I’m joking, but not really. I no longer care if we deliver the most broken thing in the world, I just want it off my damn plate.
Getting a hang of waking up early again. Up at 7am today and didn’t go back to sleep. Just have to keep it up for another few days and I’ll be set for next week.
Fuck yeahhhhh! Ah I’m so excited for you!!
It’s for good reasons, woohoo! The body will get used to it, and we are past the solstice so sunrise is a tiny bit earlier each day which will make it easier too.
I hope you’re stronger than me and can keep it going. I could never get up at a consistent time
I have no choice basically lol
When I got up at 6am the other day, I was an utterly useless zombie. Can’t be having that next week.
Just went through the performance discussion and I still have my job. It just seems like I’ll be getting around on 1 HP at work for a while.
My biggest hope is nothing else happens any time soon as it will be too many mistakes close together. I think I’m going to work on getting out of here and at least this allows me to leave on my own terms.
I’m sorry to hear it mate. Fingers crossed nothing bad happens until you’ve made a decision on whether or not to move on.
I’ll take things slow and check my work more before sending it off to other people. The work from home here is great but there isn’t much scope to learn because everyone who built the stuff I work on has left.
Lets hopeI can get a 6 month run of things going smoothly to serve as a soft reset if I don’t move on before then
I did not expect my lovely little trip to feature a visit to urgent care, but here we are. After vomiting all day they’ve given me anti-nausea stuff. Hopefully I can actually enjoy the rest of the trip!
Hope you get better soon . Lots of hugs.
Hope the problem clears up soon!

Imo, reinstall the LTSC version of windows and dual boot Mint.
Shame they didn’t get you a mac.
And Firefox not Chrome.

On the way home from tennis. I gave myself two options: 1. Take PT home and order delivery or 2. Take a cab home and make food instead. I did neither, took PT home and will make food instead of ordering in. Go me!

Anti-gratitude thread >:(

Friend from uni cancelled on me and the reason was because something minor came up apparently. Didn’t say what. Last time we were meant to catch up, they hadn’t even left the house and were half an hour away at the time we were supposed to meet, so I told them we can reschedule. I have cancelled on them last minute before as well, but this is not the only time they’ve done it. Time to find alternative social arrangements for this week, because I will go insane without seeing people.

I think the weight I’ve gained, in an attempt to gain muscle, is just belly fat
I understand about the weight thing. For me, it generally works out to about 50/50 muscle and fat. Just wish getting musclier didn’t have to involve getting a belly.
I hate that I’m not a morning person at all and it’s cold today. I felt it outside and now I’m going to defrost.
you need a solid foundation for a strong building, keep at it.
Every time I sneeze it hurts.
My knees ache in all positions
Sun glare hitting my eyes at my desk
Strained a muscle yesterday. I am now walking like John Wayne, without the swagger
are you north facing as well?
Yep. The glare is gone, but the grumpiness remains
I’m coming back for round 2.
My shoulders are a little sore and I’m starting to get a headache now which I hope doesn’t turn into a migraine.
I hate dropping my kids off at childcare. They cry when I leave and I feel like I’m turning my back on them. I want to have them at home but I can’t give them the attention they need and work at the same time.
I hate this performance meeting I have coming up. The way it makes me feel and it’s such a big deal over something so small. No one has been hurt and the business hasn’t even lost money. There are things I could do better but everything feels so insignificant in comparison.
It really bugs me how I never see my MIL in the morning when we’re getting the kids ready. We live in the same house and she knows the schedule, why do I never see her when we’re trying to wrangle two kids out the door before work?
My team getting the scraps at work.
My hearing still being fucked.
Ungrateful for my body clock waking me up at 3am and not getting back to sleep.
I am ungrateful for my heater and TV remotes being on adjacent IR channels. Not near enough to mess with the settings, just cause incessant beeping while looking for something to watch.
I’ve gained about 10kg, after all the work and exercise I did, and have a fat belly now and I’m depressed about it. Why are cakes so nice? Why is tiramisu so damn tasty? I seem to have to exercise like a maniac in order to indulge in a miserly stingy little bit of cheesecake, which makes me even more depressed, it’s barely fucking worth it! So I’m watching my food intake, avoiding high fat and high sugar foods and I’m fucking miserable.
Instead of avoiding foods that make you happy, why don’t you try adding foods into your diet instead? I think it’s called nutrition by addition.
Also I feel you.
I eat all the right stuff already, and I’m reasonably active and my job is physical. I’m just a middle aged menopausal person with fat person genes who has a tendency to comfort eating lol.
