    My property manager went to the house next door, thinking it was mine, did an inspection then sent me an email saying everything is fine.

    I had to message her and insist that she hadn’t come to my house…

    How do these people have jobs?

    In other news a recruiter messaged me today. We have a meeting tomorrow 🤞🏾

      Good luck with the meeting! Yes it’s rather shocking to think about who gets jobs out there… although REAs generally shouldn’t be in the same category as jobs which are generally required to be useful to society

        Thanks! Hopefully recruitment starts picking up.

        She was driving a brand new Merc. I was honestly blown away.

          Either mummy and daddy paid for the car or like most shysters, it’s leased or heavily financed. I had a REA who was a relative overseas. It’s all for show…

    Was holding the cat while my partner got ready for work, cat was all cuddles and kisses. I made a joke and said “you’re going to work Mickey! We’re gonna get you ready to go!” And Mickey full on freaked out, pushed off me and ran to the other side of the room away from the front door 😂

    I was like “I’m joking oh my god!” While my partner was just cackling about how the cat knows English.

    The cat is too clever but has no sense of human humour haha

    Went to bed at 8pm last night cause i was wrecked. I had the electric blanket on low, kid was asleep and it was raining. Probably the most content I’ve felt in ages. Woke up today with nearly 12 hours sleep feeling a million bucks, just need my stomach to settle.

      I wish I had your level of sleep. Woken up very early this morning by one of my smoke alarms making a low battery warning sound. I swear that anytime this happens with any of the alarms, it’s always in the middle of the night. Then took ages to get back to sleep. Alarm was neighbour’s dog barking, the next door house is doing some sort of the renovation work and as soon as the trades turn up in the morning, the dog starts going off. Just a terrible night of sleep really.

      Oh man I’m craving a nice hearty dinner tonight too now. Think I’ll do a massaman curry with some potat and mock beef and a side of Asian greens.

      Sounds yum. I’m going to do a hot bowl of noodles with soup considering how cold it is.

      Been freezing all day at work due to a malfunction with the heating system.

        I used to be like that, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realised that I would much rather be comfortable. Still, May is only a couple of weeks away … Next week will be drier I understand, so not so chilly I hope.

    2nd day in a row going into the office and I’m in again tomorrow too. I’m giving a demo of what I’ve been working on to a bunch of state government department CIOs.

    Maybe I should just go in every day this week for a laugh.

    Took myself out for dinner in Chinatown as part of some self care. It was loud, they took a long time to bring out my food and the internet was barely functional. On a tram heading home now. I did also stop at Breadtop which is also self care don’t judge me.

    okay, a big bag of clothes for the opshop, and two pairs of shoes that I just can’t wear when I have a bad back. Those boots are cute but just too high .

            true that

            The best advice I’ve had, from neurosurgeons, I still follow, which was “rest”, stay in bed

            unfortunately I didn’t have a long enough consultation to learn how to avoid back pain

            that I had to find myself by noting patterns of my behaviour

    I didn’t pay attention to what mouthwash I was buying and accidentally bought the alcohol one. Bloody hell I have no doubts it’s killing all sorts of germs and bacteria in my mouth, because it feels like it’s almost going to kill me

    My Facebook feed keeps on showing my AI generated images of kitchens and houses. I end up spending way too much time trying to spot the errors. My favourites so far are electric lights hanging directly from glass roof panels, three faucets with no tap, and cupboards with hinges on both sides of the doors and the handle in the middle.
