HOOOORAYYYYYY!!! Congrats to YL!!!
Watch out World! There's a P plater on the prowl! Seriously, congrats to YL, its a big step. And I'm sure you've done your bit in helping her to adult behind the wheel.
I'd like to take the credit but it was all her dad's doing.
I sat in the pub today and happy cried twice in the Vic roads office. That's my contribution.
Awwww.
Congraaaaaaaats!!!
yay ๐ฅโ๐ซ๐ต๐
Made it to the next round!!!!!!!!!!
Had another recruiter reach out for an application I put in yesterday!
Just going to keep up the pace and hopefully something will click in place.
2nd interview at 1pm. Fingers crossed ๐ค
๐ค
It's great things are going so quickly for you. Lets hope the end of the month works in your favour
Thanks man. Iโm on a relentless pursuit lol

Edit: ah those 3am post-poop zoomies. Mickey could put those F1 guys to shame
possum fell out tree last night , mad scramble on roof
Yo Yarrabyte call ya parents they're worried.
Maybe we should send him $97-60 for an Uber home - via text message from a site in com.ru
Got one of these a while back purporting to be from my son to pay for taxi home. Given that he was in San Francisco at the time I should have leapt at the opportunity - cheapest fare home from there I've ever heard of.
Interview this morning, the seek post definitely undersold the role. One guy liked me, one didn't. Let's see what happens.
Good luck!
Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I'm in Perth.
Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don't want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I'm a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
As a homebody and recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won't be as bad as you think - heck you'll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he'll he fine.
2nd interview went ok. I was pretty nervous tbh so if it doesnโt move ahead thatโs ok. But the guy did tell me what the next steps would be.
Fingers crossed but Iโm still applying to other jobs of course.
City looks so grey right now.
Thanks for doing the thread Seagoon.
My butt is being kicked by whatever is going on with my mental health. The fact that from next week onwards, 25+ sets of eyes will be evaluating my performance at least twice a day, plus the resources I manage to create, is scaring the shit out of me. I'm really worried about not having time to do stuff and not performing. I dislike that I get overwhelmed so easily.
But I am reminding myself that I can ask for ideas.
Last night, I stupidly ate a chilli in an attempt to unblock my nose. Today, I am reaping the consequences. Just an upset stomach. Nose still very much blocked. Yay!
Have you tried nasal sprays?
Potentially better than a chili
Chili is more enjoyable.
For some
Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. Itโs windy out there, take care.
I totally misjudged my walk timing and got myself and Mr Woof very soggy.
I'm switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don't want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I've cleaned it and it's working again now.
The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that's a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it's a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.
Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they'd be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I'd gladly degooglefy my life for another one.
Awful tragedy in Porpunkah. How do people become so far gone into nutter idiotic beliefs. Hope they catch him soon. Must be frightening to be in Porpunkah tonight.
I reckon the guy will go bush, and won't be found for weeks. And it's a toss up if he will be even more mentally disturbed when he is found or will have calmed down a bit. Searching for him on foot or horseback with or without dogs is bloody dangerous if he's armed and apparently he is. And the local people/cops know this and will be keeping a very beady eye on isolated sheds and eatable livestock in distant paddocks. Never underestimate the bushcraft of nutters like this one cos they are sometimes quite impressively skilled in survival stuff. If it was me, I'd consider calling in a helicopter/drone and using thermal imaging to find him. Then the hard part would become actually catching him without getting shot.
โSo, what Iโve gotten out of this is that weโre selling an unknown product to unknown customers for unknown pricing and we have no idea when or how itโs arriving?โ
โWell, yesโฆ but the vests have been ordered for the sales team.โ
This place, I tells ya.
Hey now. Let's not dismiss the power of a snazzy vest!
But a vest on it's own is never going to do anything. It needs to be paired with the power of a custom pen and a printed stress ball.
hey there
Insomniacs arise lol
I think I got about two hours sleep last night ๐ will see how I go at work but may end up finishing early
The Kiffness is doing a gig at Northcote Theatre on Thursday 18th Sept. Have just bought tickets. Looks like very fun night.
I'll finish the painting today then it's on to sewing the curtains and clothes repairs ๐
3rd coat of paint done , it's looking good ๐
yay, the painting of the bedroom suite is done. Five pieces of furniture , scrubbed clean, sanded , repaired, then four coats of paint. The chair has been reupholstered, the drawer handles repainted a silver gold colour and all the drawers painted inside and lined with contact.

Debating on going into office tomorrow and having Thursday and Friday WFH.
Alternatively, WFH tomorrow and Friday, come in Thursday.
I'll decide tomorrow morning when the alarm goes off I guess.
