snug on the couch with some of my babies

looks like Ted Cat has settled in 🤗 no teasing, he had to have a shave because he was knotty 🥺

Ted Cat is very very hungry . Every single rescue long haired cat I've had had been neglected and half starved. 😢

Just been dropped that I'm doing the flowers for my bros wedding this Sunday.

I'm seriously not impressed.

If anyone here has ever been to a wedding in Indo (their first wedding) and what her side of the family would (I'm guessing) expect... let's just say from what I saw they expect a lot of flowers.

Fuck me

Annnnddddd, it’s happened again.

Why have people decided to sit right next to me in a near empty waiting room? And the chairs right next to me? Leave a space damnit!

I do not understand. If this is my superpower, please take it away. 😭🤣

I'm off today. Work I've had a lot of conflict and ended the day early to go for a walk, but also there's a few things I just need to rant about sorry...! Also have a picture of my cat showing how I feel today!

While I was having a nice relaxing bath the kids decided to join me in the bathroom. The oldest one decorated the littlest one to make him look "pretty" with butterfly clips.

So since moving to Tassie I haven't made any real friends, but in a really weird coincidence someone who I knew because she dated a friend I played footy and cricket with (20 years ago) happened to move in to the same area as I did in Tassie not long before I moved here (5 years ago). We spoke off and on but after she found out about the break up, she invited me out to trivia night with some of her work friends. I am really really terrible socially, was super nervous, and almost bailed. But I sucked it up and went last night and actually had a really good time. I was actually social and talked to people instead of feeling like I didn't belong.

And we came third so even better.

Ted Cat has never seen anyone have a cup of coffee, he thinks everything is a cat food bowl!! And if he doesn't get his way he is cranky. I don't think he's ever lived with humans or been taught how to behave. 😨 He reminds me of a zoo animal.

I also think he was only neutered very recently 😬

Someone said good morning to me and I just responded

“morgan”

Welp, Jimmy and Marceline are checked into the cattery. Sadness.

Pissing off to Hobart tomoz. Keen to try the fooodz.

Started work pretty normally.. about an hour in, realised my throat was really dry and felt strange even though I'd been drinking water. Then I got really really tired. Told work I'm unavailable and slept from 10am until 5pm. I had to force myself to get out of bed so I wouldn't keep sleeping. I'm going to order something in I think because I should eat but don't have the energy to bother myself.

This being the day after I went back into the office for the first time since before my leave. Yikes.

So any emotional extremes today. Tonight is comfort food, blanket, couch and either Netflix or gaming. Tomorrow will be better.

And so another data breach has happened. This time with Pizza Hut.

🤦‍♂️

Up since 5am and I am le tired

Fuckery has increased. increased muttering to self

Rollercoaster day. Got an email this morning asking that I attend the office later this week to meet with the directors. No details provided on what the meeting is going to be about. An ex-colleague of mine recieved a similar meeting invitation earlier in the year where they got made redundant. So naturally I began to freak out, thinking I'm about to lose my job. I asked if I needed to prepare anything for the meeting and the response makes me think I'm not about to lose my job, but they're going to be raising something performance related. I'm pretty nervous because I have no idea what I'm going to be walking into. The response could just be throwing me off the scent. I feel sick.

I already want to leave, but better hurry up with finding that new job. Tonight I'm going to apply for a few roles and clear my work PC in case the worst happens.

I've joined the air fryer club. Yay!!!

What do people even eat for lunch if they don't have cheese?

Also, it is now the time for Halloween and Christmas items to be out simultaneously.

I don’t even know what to celebrate when anymore. 😂

I've just spend two hours on phone setup stuff. So many apps, so many accounts to sign in. I haven't even spent any time actually organising anything, just downloading and logging in.

THE UNIVERSE IS FUCKING WITH ME AND I REFUSE TO ENGAGE

I just wanna work out if the aircon should be ducted ceiling or through existing floor.

If you had the choice, what would you go for:

1. Increase of pay to relieve cost of living pressure
2. Decrease in work hours (but not pay) to increase your work/life balance

I know for me it's the latter but that comes from a position where cost of living, while putting a bit of pressure on me financially, isn't my biggest concern. I've lived frugally before and can do that but seeing my hours slip away while companies make big profits off of my work isn't fun.

MARGE

Botbot and @RustyRaven any chance of pinning today's DT? It's flapping around in the wind and I'm afraid it might tumble down the wrong way with a particularly strong gust.
