Hold on to your hats and stay warm!
It’s warmed up to a barmy 8C here, beating the forecast high of 7C. Luckily I have a roaring fire and I am toasty.
That looks lovely, enjoy!
My manager is giving me the silent treatment.
Jesus christ lol
I’ve got a meeting with the CEO this afternoon to have a casual chat. A meeting I requested. So let’s see how this plays out.
I resigned from a job yonks ago and the whole senior leadership team of the not-particularly-big org gave me the silent treatment for my whole notice period. I was pretty junior and they’d been treating me like shit, it can’t have been surprising that I was leaving. Such strange people. It was very primary school.
Good luck with the meeting! And with the job hunting!
omg, how old are these people?
I’m gonna guess no older than 12
Actually, my 12 year old cousin has more maturity than that
So lower it to 7 or 8
I don’t get how adults can be so catty.
I can’t understand people like that and how they even end up as managers. Such shitty behaviour. Hope your casual chat goes well!
It’s crazy your immediate manager would do that. I hope something comes around for you soon.
How did it go?
I got 2 callbacks from applications I put in yesterday!
Fuck yeah.
yay 😊
Go you!
Oohh that’s good news!
Hell yeah! Simon is a wanted man! How did the CEO chat go?
It was OK. He’s a nice guy but he’s too far up to relate to what’s happening in middle management.
We’ll see how these interviews pan out.
I really didn’t want to start another goddamn probation but here we are.
Nice!
Fire drill! Yay paid time off work
drill is sad :(
I’ve achieved my dream finally.
Playing drums to my own guitar tracks.
I can’t explain how fucking cool this is, even as a fairly shit drummer lol
My advice is more cowbell. It’s not great advice though.
Hey good on you! You don’t have to be John Bonham to enjoy making music.
Went into Aldi and forgot to buy apple strudel. The shame! The shame!
JC. You had one job.
💔
🍎🥧
I’m going to try but I’ve run out of freezer space
An apple turnover
But if you turn it over, what is on the other side?
apple turnover
More apple
and more turnover
Apple turnovers are my fav apple dessert. Must be made with granny smith apples with a slight crunch. Yum.
Argh, supervisor has already done a very quick review of thesis. I’m way too brain dead to look at it today and take on the emotional damage - I’m going to go to bed early tonight and have another crack tomorrow morning before prepping for the preso in the afternoon. Apparently I still do need to add more references and beef up the discussion but I also kind of don’t wannaaaaaa. I’m so done with reading dense academic articles about stuff I don’t really care that much about…
Alarm! Alarm! Nothing on Vic Emergency. No fucking clue, upsetting everybody
it was Seagoon burning the onions again
Got my first offering from the local wild magpies today in the form of a finger lime.
Looking for any tips on how to teach them what credit cards look like and why they’re a better offering. Should I pretend to eat a credit card next time they’re here or something?
They might do better with diamonds. They’re meant to like shiny things, it’s just convincing them to share nicely.
Diamonds are worthless though when you try and resell, you only are offered the weight in gold of the ring they’re on. First hand experience.
So I’d need to train them to pull off the worlds greatest diamond heist of all time to steal an actually rare one. Any tips on that?
teach them what $2 coin or bank notes look like 👍
Even I don’t know what those look like anymore
Finger lime😃 I love those things! Maybe I can teach corvids in my area to bring me some 🤔
Eat oyster
I’d prefer yours to those delivered by magpies, despite the Santa debacle.
Magpies’ are the freshest, straight from the ocean as the pie flies
Really odd dreams the last few nights. Only remembering snippets.
The narratives are all over the place. Probably lines up with the resensitisation of my nervous system but still.
Edit: one of them was going to feed the strays but everything was different and it turned out it was 7am but the usual 4pm. Weird.
My plans of working next to the fireplace got nixed.
Due to unforseen circumstances I’m in a local office (that I can drive to) and two managers owe me huge favours.
At least it’s warm here.
Ah bugger, forgot my lunch in the hustle of getting the kids ready for school 😕 AND missed the bus 🙄
First time ever YL left the house and then ran back in. Why. Because she forgot her glasses which she wears permanently. Literally can’t see without them.
Between the weather and not nearly enough sleep I’m completely phoning it in today. Fuck me I don’t know why they insist on cracking the window open slightly while having the reverse cycle on in the office, I get that it’s stuffy but this is really defeating the purpose
Stops the windows from fogging up.
I can feel the freezing air coming through the window of my home office. It’s very gentle but it’s there. I think it’s more obvious today because of how cold it is and maybe the direction of the wind is the right angle of south as this is a south-facing room. Must counteract with heating ($$$).
