    Partner tells me there’s a pair of twenty-something (potentially teenage) boys knocking on people’s doors and loudly talking in the Northcote area.

    If they are casing houses (ours is a block of flats and we almost never get doorknockers), and she didn’t open the door for them, do we have anything to worry about?

    Interview 1 went well!!! Really well.

    Person interviewing said I’ll most likely be coming in to meet the CFO!

    Next one at 1:30pm. Let’s see how it all plays out.

        Thankfully no lol

        Internal IT with an org that has an existing relationship with an MSP.

        Sounds pretty decent from the interview so far. Downside is office attendance for the first few months.

        Salary makes it worthwhile.

          Oh that’d be nice (the internal IT not the office attendance). Though office attendance to start hopefully shows that team and culture is important to them and they want you to really embed well. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

    Tempted to try the goon bag trick in the next few days. Basically just fill it with water, freeze it and hug it all day.

      I take this personally. 🤣

      srsly, since the ornage t the word goon has new terrible connotations. I might change it 😐

      Recommend half filling it before freezing, and wrapping it in a towel before hugging. Also can be put in bed to rest feet on which is remarkably cooling.

    Date night last night and we went to Melbourne Cable Park to play mini golf and man, that place really impressed me. It was just so super laid back and cool, watching the wake boarders and the people doing the high ropes course was really cool and inspiring. Boyfy and I spent about an hour just wandering around the lakes and checking things out. I drive past it every day, but had never been in there, the inflatables course looks soooo fun.

    last night I

    -Went to bed early

    -Put clean sheets on the bed

    -Took a melatonin

    -Had a warm shower

    -trashed the freshly made bed with the mrs

    -drank a chamomile tea

    -read for a bit

    Still got woken up at 2 by the toddler who isnt well, and still took me a while to fall asleep in the first place, but I only woke up 2 times throughout the night and didnt stay awake for hours after each wake up, so I’d could that a win!

    Walking Miniest to school and she noticed a Tesla and said “there’s a carzi” (rhymes with nazi). I usually call them swasticars. I asked her if she thought of that one herself, and she said she was trying to think of the word I always said but couldn’t think of it so she said that one instead 😂🤣

        I’m cleaning pigeon guano off solar panels and gutters tomorrow morning on the 2-storey roof. I don’t want to fall off.

        Hopefully Sunday will be in solar-powered, air-conditioned comfort tomorrow at home, rather than solar-powered air-conditioned comfort of the local Trauma ward.

      I’m still trying to tee up a dental specialist… We are both being extorted by the tooth fairy. What happened to the days when losing a tooth gave you money?

        Losing a tooth gives you money. Knowing exactly where the tooth is and wanting it to be forcibly evicted is the expensive bit.

            You know when you’re doing the usual threesome thing you do on a weekend, and the moonlight’s bouncing off your heads and your arses and everything, does that not get a bit confusing?
