So it appears that I’ve been successful in my interview last week. It’s about a 2 month contracting process, but both my managers are happy to be referees.
More money, longer contract and more importantly, no one reports to me!!!
@Gibsonhasafluffybutt good luck today. You got this shit.
This is wonderful news. So happy for you. 💐🍾
Thank you, still have to go through some governmental hoops until I get the formal offer, but already have stuff in writing.
Feels pretty good actually.
oohh so you’re locked in pretty much?
Essentially yes. They’ll be sending me my remuneration package, once I accept it, they do reference checks and such (standard gov stuff), then my role gets their big chiefs endorsement, then I get the formal offer.
Unless I say no, which I’m unlikely, or their big boss not sign off (also unlikely), locked in.
Beers on you then :)
Congrats!
Yay, congrats! That’s excellent news! 🥂🍾
Woo!
That’s the long term plan :)
rock and roll
🤘
Congratulations!! They’d be remiss not to recognise your competence.
Also:
no one reports to me
Worth its weight in gold.
It is. When I told my manager, he asked if they’re hiring 😁

Glorious!
I want it
🤣 you’re not wrong!
Im on my third cup already lol
¡
He dances better than most people I know
Was a bit nervous for the 1st one. Not too hopeful, but I think the 2nd one should be better. 🤞🏾
🤞🏼
So gross and sticky and yuck and ugh and bleah and thank fuck for some cooler weather on the weekend. I am OVER this heat. I don’t want to do my dishes or cook… feel like a petulant child. Waaah.
E: my bedroom is dead-set like 10C warmer than the living room and even the CUPBOARDS feel hot. Also, my west facing bathroom clearly has the pipes facing west as well as the water out of the COLD tap was straight up HOT for a solid 30-40 seconds. Maybe tonight I will indeed sleep in the living room

Preach
Ditto and tomorrow is going to be even more horrible.
I have to go pick up some food in St Kilda but other than that I’m not moving out of my air conditioned lounge room. Tomorrow is gross and my colleagues are rightfully not going to do any fieldwork during that period
Hopefully you don’t get caught up on the potential rains and thunderstorms in the afternoon/evening.
Last time that happened it was a terror.
Ugh no. I think I’ll head out around 11ish and get back asap.
2nd one went better i think. And now I have another tomorrow lol
This is little miss bossy boots of the strays
Man those DNA tests sure are fucking expensive…
Her sleepy face is so cute
It feels weird not to be angry about work. That’s really fucking sad to admit but it’s true.
Thankfully there’s a 2nd date to look forward to! It’ll be nice to have some good vibes.
I’m proud of you :)
Thank you :)
It’s a massive load off your shoulders when you don’t have anything to worry about. I’m glad you feel that way now
Waiting on a cancellation for the tooth and back on the antibiotics again. Melbcat and I are twinning.
She’s kind of going ok. Been sick a few times this week and seems to occasionally have acute pain (stomach aches?) but also still eating and sometimes goes to the screen door to look outside. I’m still stressed about her health because I love her.
She seems to have perked up a bit but if she gets painy again tonight I’ll try to book her in Friday or Saturday.
Smiley girl.
She is so lovely!

Oh what a beautiful melbcat. Sleep well little one
Aww she’s beautiful!
That’s one of the sweetest melbcat photos ever 😭
PSA for anyone with pets, seems like a microchip database company has gone out of business. Doesn’t really say what you can do to check if it affects your pet, maybe check with your vet?
for those wondering:
- it’s not Central Animal Records
- Central Animal Records are offering a registration pathway

Melbcat is thankfully registered with a different company but good to know
Today is a day to eat grated cheese straight out of the bag
I heard someone refer to it as “coping cheese” the other day and now that’s my excuse too
We talking mindfully paced handfuls, or just tipping it straight in to your gaping maw?
deleted by creator
After the rage inducing meeting I just endured it’s absolutely gaping maw
I want nachos.
Here we go!
Chookas!
Good luck!
GET IT!
You got this!
BOM said we will be hot and moist tonight.
Hard to believe it’s going to be 17 and 18 over the weekend.
But in true bom fashion when it comes down to it it’ll claim to have a headache or something anyway.
I’m already hot and moist. And hungry.
🍙🧊☕️
Thank you Chef
same
apple, plain yogurt and some savoys. Afternoon tea of champions. Dont know why the combo works but it does!
Boss has set the aircon at work to somewhere between Mawson’s Hut and the South Georgia islands. I have brought a down jacket to work to wear in the office until sanity prevails.
One of these days he’ll realise that extra cooling indoors does nothing to moderate the temperature outdoors.If the situation continues into tomorrow, I’ll bring in a lap rug.
Meanwhile I’m having to apply under boob deodorant because my new space is a hot box.
…why do we call it under boob sweat and not humidtitties ? 🤭
🤪
I never thought of using under boob anti-perspirant . Sounds very harsh on that most tender of places.
After last week I developed a sweat rash. It’s just a sensitive roll on that I wipe the wetness off after a few minutes. It appears to be working, now I need to work out how to bathe in it so I can cover the rest of my body.
What brand is it? I’ve started to get itchy rashy reactions to damned near everything and I’m getting frustrated.
Ok thanks, might give it a try 🙂
a space heater
Ours is the same - I’m freezing my arse off and am bringing a jumper tomorrow. Might go outside to thaw for a bit
It’s hot already but I don’t care, I’m going out for a long walk and some shopping, will try to walk on the shady side and in parks.
Anyone need anything? I’m going to the drug store and the italian supermarket.
Some Sicilian cocaine plz.
on it 👍
I could only find Corsican bay leaves, they have a soporific effect if you huff them.
A chunk of good quality grana padano and some prosciutto sliced wafer thin please.
Thankyou!
A giant garlic bread with extra garlic and butter and a large pack of Gaviscon please.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Some fresh pasta wouldn’t go amiss please.
Maybe some tortellini?
Those mix max cakes please!
Assorted cured meats!!
🤤 thank you
