    2nd interview was harder. I don’t think I’ll be progressing. But it was good practice.

      That’s a great way to look at it! Fingers crossed all the same, maybe they saw it differently!

    car stuff

    Apparently Subaru are having a big sale on last years WRXs in the states. Not a huge surprise, the VB series has never sold in great numbers. But this is like 0% interest over 48 months or something and prices around 40k. So Im interested and have a google and see what Subaru Australia are doing: 52k. A discount of approx 2k? so stuff all basically. Looked up a personal loan anyway. taking into my near 20% saved it’d still cost me 25k in interest alone over 7 years. yeahhhhhh. Keen but not THAT keen. Not unless I have no choice.

    meanwhile im bitching that my white car is already dirty despite being washed recently. imagine how bad its gonna be in world rally blue colour?!

    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?

      Are they dressed in white shirt and black pants? Could be mormons. As far as I know, teenagers don’t ‘case’ houses. They just break in with machetes so they can take the car keys to steal cars. No one wants vcr players anymore and they don’t need to look inside to see if you have one. So yeah, I’d say nothing 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.

      wet tshirt and a fan is 10x more effective and 0 of the cost.
