    I got the job!!! General manager rang to congratulate me. I’ll feel better once I have the contract, but still.

    The search is finally fucking over. I was down to emergency levels of funding as this makes a huge difference.

    Background checks went through, got the official job offer call, nego’d a slight bump, contract should be through tomorrow and with any luck I’ll be starting next Tuesday! And how good is this: they said after a few weeks I can change my specified working days to suit my needs, so I’m not fixed to the two days I pick at the start. How good is that?? Ultra flexibility!! Feeling very good about the job 😄

        Yeah, a foot in the door for sure and better quality of networking compared to the private sector. It’ll be great to get out of my hermit stage too!

      Yippee! One less reason for anxiety. Sounds like a good mob to work for too.

        Definitely feels positive on so many counts. And at the end of the day, 2 days/week makes most things manageable. Especially when it’s not customer-facing!

    First ever actual job application submitted. Took me two days to get the CV and Cover letter in proper shape but now I can modify them lightly for other jobs.

    Ms Cat had a big day yesterday. First of all she stole my bed and my girl at 6am.

    Then in the evening she stole my cash.

    My indoor cat just dashed through the door as I was going out. First time she has done this. I only adopted her almost a month.

    Panic!

    She jumped my fence which borders a large park. I grabbed a blanket, some food and went into the park, yelling her name but not really hopeful.

    My son comes out yelling “Mum! She’s at the back door!”. He let’s her in and she bolts for a bed to hide under.

    She can have all the pets and treats tonight. My heart rate is gonna take some time to recover.

      My girl broke through a flyscreen while I was out. I got home and freaked the fuck out. Ran around in a panic.

      Found her hiding from the rain, meowing sadly next to the window she broke out of.

        Aww! poor girl! I bet the relief you felt when you got her back was intense. Sounds like the rainy weather kept her close.

        My girl just bolted. When she jumped the fence my heart dropped. We’re close to Scotchmans Creek and the foxes there that have been known to attack cats. She’s not much of a climber inside so seeing that just told me how panicked she was. Or determined.

        Since she’s been back inside she’s had some bonus treats and resumed sitting in her favorite spot by the window.

          I don’t think I had ever panicked like that before in my life.

          I think inside cats have this incredibly optimistic view of being outside cats, then reality kicks in and they want their treats and brushies lol

      if you’re on a tram without pants I think that costs you more money, just quietly.

    Well it’s sad to see the Bendigo Hotel closing, they have also done a lot to pee off the metal scene recently.

    Things have been really sus there since the start of this year. Booking less metal, removing metal merch on the wall, and trying to change the vibe of the place.

    Looks like the Ungrateful Dead fest also has to find a new venue as well.

        Long term booker was sacked (there’s reasons), but their replacement knew nothing about Metal. Hardly any gigs got booked since August last year, or if there is a gig, its was a shitty Destroy All Lines lineup.

        Due to poor sales, the Bendi then tried to move away from metal. They also put on normie events like industry night and non-metal trivia nights. Metal merch on the walls was slowly disappearing as well.

        This pissed off metal heads, as they felt they weren’t welcome there anymore. The $17 dollar pints also added more insult to injury.

        Meanwhile Old Bar and The Tote have fucking killer lineups, and way cheaper drinks. Way better to just go down the road.

    Zucchini slice in da oven…

    First time making it.

    Suffice it to say I’m hoping I don’t fuck it up.

    After reading some pointers a few said to strain the zucc after grating so it’s not mushy and I have to say the raw juice was delicious.

    Pi day pide dough has been made and is now rising. I’m going to do a mix of eggplant and tomato with a bit of roast lamb with moroccan seasoning and top with some slices of bocconcini.

    Have an interview with a different place this afternoon. If they move me to the 2nd stage then I’ll probably send an email to the other guys and see if they can give me an answer soon.
