Early night tonight. Have 2 interviews tomorrow which I’m excited about!
Hopefully this saga ends soon.
Goodnight ❤️
Good luck!
Sending so many good lucks. 🍀🍀🍀
Good luck!
Also good luck to Gibson those shadows aren’t going to chase themselves.
I hope one of these comes through for you and we’re there for you if you need it
Most secret special potato cake eating spot (not really just the playground opposite the IGA / fish and chip place in pt. lonsdale):
Pretty easy to make friends there:
Your friends look pretty shifty.
Those potato cakes look quite nice.
The seagulls seem to think so.
Yaaay my street is on fiiiire
@Taleya right now

Edit: haaa. lions. Fuckin 'ell
Oh shit.
It’s comfortably far enough away. I am concerned for costco for wogs though.
The rabbits
Im taking a day off day. It’s 10am and I’m starting to crack already.
I chucked a sickie today. Tired of crying at my desk!
Still going through some boxes and shit and found these

Be strong mummy. Be strong. 😭
And these

OMG so cute! I keep a few tiny items in the bottom of my sewing box because otherwise things are packed away and I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. So recently I saw the first tiny socks, singlet and stripey beanie they both wore as newborns 😍🥲
I love miniatures and when you have a kid everything is miniature. Must keep going though.
Omg those booties!!
I know. I’m keeping them.
To be produced at the kid’s 21st party …
For sure
Aww! 🥰
I’ve got a meeting Monday with an SLT member. If the outcome of this meeting is poor, I’ll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.
The straw has broken the camels back.
I’ll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.
Nah. Dont make it explicit. just say “You understand the consequences of this. right? you understand what this may cost the business?” Let the threat be unsaid but hang in the air. gives you more maneuverability and them a second change to ponder the risks involved.
“Understood.”
The workload is untenable man. We had a client offboard who had historic issues with the larger org.
The owner of the company that got sold rang him today in what I assume was a check to see if I’m worth the raise.
There was no chance of saving this client. First time I met the guy he straight up said “I’m not renewing”
The client was unhappy because he felt “ignored”. We have weekly meetings. I action everything he asks for.
There’s literally nothing else I could do.
Not good enough apparently.
Too much work, not enough time. Stress when not working. Constantly worried about work. No time to just relax.
If I get a better offer, im out. If I get the raise, I’m waiting till I’ve moved house then I’m out.
If I don’t get the raise I’m stuck here till I move house first.
🤞
Well I’ve been doing the right things with my face, which is good to know. The Dr prescribed me some antibiotics so it doesn’t get infected, and I made the nurse laugh with my home made wound pads. I’d bought some from the chemist but they just weren’t absorbent enough. So I thought, what if I cut up a nighttime incontinence pad and sealed the edges with wide adherence bandage tape? Works a treat, is comfortable and has a stay-dry cover.
A woman’s mastery can not be contained! Many years ago my old dog had bone cancer at the top of her eye socket area. She was very well cared for but occasionally she would develop a weepy wound. A party liner stuck to a cute bandana was the easiest way to manage it. My vet was in hysterics when he first saw it.
Lol, “panty liner bandana” might just have to go on my Future Usernames list!
hope you feel better soon 😘
Just saw the news on the AA accident in Washington. 😭
(I have a reli that travels frequently using AA (they’re not on that flight). I feel ill. So awful for all involved.)
I just saw the footage for the first time a moment ago on tv after hearing about it on my way home.
It looks horrific.
Same, I always feel a shock when I hear of such accidents.
The US can’t catch a break right now. LA fires, Trump, and this all in the same month.
Feels like a Friday.
Oh why can’t it be Friday already?
So, yesterday I managed to injure myself in the most ridiculous way possible while playing tennis. We were warming up serves, and the other guy was easing into it with some slow servew. Naturally, I decided to match the energy by being incredibly lazy, barely moving my feet and just waving my racket around like a disinterested Jedi.
Then, out of nowhere, he unleashes this rocket of a serve. For reasons I still can’t explain, I just stood there, completely unprepared, and decided my best move was to swing wildly at it. Of course, I was ridiculously late, and instead of gracefully returning the ball, I managed to deflect it into my racket, which immediately ricocheted directly into the bone right below my knee.
Ensues excruciating pain and I had to pull out of the first game (and asked my tm8 to play a singles instead as the format was 2 singles and 1 doubles) while I winced and iced my knee.
Safe to say, I won’t be making any highlight reels anytime soon. 😭
On the contrary, this belongs on the highlight reel. In super slow motion.
Tibialis or Patella. Tib shouldn’t hurt that much from a tennis ball. Have a read up on Osgood-Schlatter syndrome.
I don’t think I explained correctly. I hit my racket on the tibia. It’s quite bruised lmao
I was wondering what that giant smoke plume was
You should see it from south road, looks like a fuckin’ massive approaching storm front
managed to score a doctors appointment cause the mrs wants me to get a blood test and just check everything doing ok. might set up the spare bed as a fallback option tonight as well. See if I cant convince the mrs to do that thing married couples often do before they fall asleep (assuming Im up to it, which there is serious doubts right now). Hopefully that, some melatonin and a chamomile tea will be enough to get me across the line tonight.
All the best homie.
cheers! Heres hoping something works.
she cares for you ❤️
she did NOT appreciate my joke the other week when in hospital. A nurse commented it was good of her to bring me in and i joked “Yeah she just wants to be here to make sure she doesn’t miss the opportunity to pull the plug on me”.
Brave, brave man lol
I think the plan with this job is to learn the project management software they use, catch Project Manager Brain, and then just get really good at tracking other people doing the work instead of actually doing the work
Congratulations on the Senior Project Manager and Principal Project Manager training course. Getting paid to do it is even better 😋
I’d love a few half days to sit around learning what’s urgent and what’s not. This place has an internal agency for a lot of the work I need to do, so the better I get at briefing them and following up on tasks, the better I am at my job. The dream is to get to the point where I get so good at managing things I don’t need to do the gruntwork, without actually having any direct reports
This is my life hack: I have now started cooking early (during the summer) because the sun beams in through my windows at around 5 making me hot and sweaty. I don’t want to eat when I’m sweating buckets. The man and the kid come home around 3 and 3:30 and they’re hungry so this suits everybody. Now I can relax for the rest of the evening.
Cricket!
I’ve got a dual setup happening so I have both of the matches on at the moment.
