    Just want to say thank you all again for the support yesterday. Truly a supportive space here with great advice. After going into the eye and ear today for a follow up her schedule has reduced which means less refusal and it’s going to be a bit easier for her.

    Finished work early and… just didn’t feel like going home straight away. So I’m having a cheeky can of alco ginger beer in a part of a local park not frequented by children and their company or youths (I dislike drinking around children and will actively avoid it). Might have an extra can too. Because fuck it, that’s why!

    General manager is resigning.

    Big blow. He’s one of the reasons I like it here.

    Goddamn it.

      Oh damn. Too soon, feels like you’ve just barely started! Any chance you can follow him to where he’s going?

        Something odd happened last week.

        He reached out to offer some mentoring because he felt that maybe it would help, which I agreed to.

        He must have known he was leaving last week already. Curious to see what this will be about.

          so your still meeting before he leaves? interesting.

          I think you’ll find you don’t need mentoring. From what I heard your project management experience was second to none. all your skills in fact. Glowing report really.

            A very glowing report!

            Yeah I’m super curious to see what this is about. I don’t think he’s being asked to do it, I think he was offering because he’s a good dude.

            I’ll keep you posted. First meeting is Friday.

              Hopefully not overeaching but he’s not mentoring you to be his replacement or to take on another role?

    Had a really helpful session with the psych today. Talked a lot about why I am struggling to let go of stress and work and gave me some good exercises to help getting some structure back and some boundaries (for me). I picked out this time. She is kind but not afraid to suggest stuff - which is good. Practical.

    Step one. Back to decent bedtimes. Night all. ♥️

    So I went to check out this blue sky thing. It turns out I actually created an account on there at some point under my real name. I don’t remember doing that, it had to be before Aussie.zone became a thing.

    So I log into it, I’m already following half a dozen accounts that I don’t remember following (but they’re awesome people like George Takai and Mara Wilson).

    Review:
    It’s all about US politics and how awful Twitter is. Boring. 😔

    I never sent a single tweet in 15 years, I can’t see myself using this site either.

      I have a Blue Sky account just to secure a user name and… Just checked and got the same experience. I’ll never use it either unless it becomes good for data mining.

      Nath, if you’re not into microblogging in general then perhaps you won’t ever be interested in it, but the algorithm is easy to train or replace with a custom Feed, moderation lists like this one let you mass block confirmed dickheads, and labellers like this one let you filter everything else.

      Given your skillset you might even enjoy creating and publishing your own custom feed algorithm.

    Boss: How do you feel you’re going?

    Me: I’m planning on resigning in 2 weeks.

        He’s going to discuss with the directors about sidestepping me into another role, I’m not well suited for the one my original role grew into. I’ll see what they offer, but I think it’ll be adios for me.

    interesting development at work. Boss asked some common sense questions, leadership team didn’t really have answers. Looks like things may not be as doom and gloom as we originally thought, so thats awesome. I don’t love the company but I do love the boss and they’ll pay to upskill my unqualified ass so thats worth something.

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Fucking cleaning took so long even with the help of a friend because there was still Stuff that took long rob to load. Wish I didn’t have overdue stuff to do at work this morning.

    But i am really, truly, for sure this time 99% done - every last thing has been cleaned except the kitchen and second bedroom floor, it was too late for a vacuum. Tomorrow lunchtime i shall mop, take exit photos, drop off the keys and be done with moving out.

    … next stage is moving in… I live in a fortress of bags and boxes. But first, my car is loaded up with shit that needs donating including a neglected bike (with good parts). Gonna try and temporarily store it at work so I don’t need to be driving around with a whole ass bike in the back for the next few days.

    Also, the check tyre pressure light came on even though I got a new tyre. More headaches! Rahhhh!

    Good night everyone…

      Often that light will come on after a change because it just needs to be reset. Pop into a servo and check the tires and if they seem ok there’ll be a way to reset the sensor.

      And cheers in advance for handing back the keys 🙌🏻🙌🏻

          Oh so true! My childhood memories involve a back garden with various skin coloured pantyhose tying plants to stakes. I’d forgotten all about it.

          It was soooo wholesome. Seriously. I loved the shoutouts, the relating to the audience. Just 10/10.

          I had plenty of room and jumped around to my heart’s delight. Could not have asked for more.
