He's magnificent. But, multiple rounds for a call centre job? Bonkers.
Haha it's alright, it's a rather small-ish business and sort of niche. The interview today was about my skills and exp, the next will be a culture interview to see if I get along with the team, because it's a small team.
I'd gripe about it if it was a large call centre, but I see the reasoning and agree with it on this scale.
Those toes!

Pobblebonks are going down here.
I will try and record them in the next few days.
Nice. :)
Cat medical, bummer, cancer mention
I read the email with Melbcatโs blood results and her kidneys have improved but the specialist is saying that the lesions may be in situ carcinoma. So they might have already turned cancerous without spreading deeper than the skin yet.
Iโm trying to stuff down my emotions and just remain upbeat as possible but spent last night bawling and panicking.
Going through old pictures the first spot seems to have visibly appeared in January โ23 (and I thought it was cat acne from not being allowed to wipe asthma medication off her face, then just a booger or a scab) so while actinic keratosis is slow to spread or or turn itโs had ample time before I realised what it was.
Deeply regret not buying the pet sunscreen years ago when I was going to. Iโll also have to be mean and stop her sunbathing at the window.
The Aldara cream may still be effective if the spots are cancerous, as long as theyโre very thin and surface level, but itโs important that she canโt lick it off. Thereโs also the chance that the cream causes too much irritation and another treatment has to be pursued.
Iโm really scared.

may be. Don't start panicking until you find out for certain.

You don't have to stop her sunbathing, you can get at bunnings window films that will block UVC.

Oh dear.
My WhiteBoy was allergic to the sunscreen I tried on his ears. Baked himself constantly. Eventually got a nose spot, but left for other reasons before the vet thought it necessary to treat. Best wishes to you both.

A year on from Toby's death, I'm finally cleaning out some things I just put out of sight, out of mind.
In saying that, does anyone know of any rescues that would like a donation of freshly laundered, assorted tiny dog jumpers, costumes and bow ties, along with unused bowls, blankets and beds?
When I volly'd at Lort Smith there was so much of that stuff around that we couldn't really use. I'd say launder and to the op shop or even gumtree/marketplace freebies for someone looking to get a dog.
We should go for another beach walk sometime.
Anyone else interested in a wander along Beaumaris dog beach sometime?
My dog hates dogs, otherwise yes!
Hahaha. This made me laugh cos my dog's the same. He wants to take other dogs on big or small.
Its a Jacky thing I'm sure.
I've seen nice calm ones. My dog's a psycho.

How can tomorrow be 14 ?
So my bestie magpie friend rocked up this morning outside the studio as she normally does and barked at me lol. Not aggressive, just something I've never heard before. Normally it's a warble, but this was a one off note. Gave her some grub, did her normal song. Not sure what that was all about.

Just had a long chat with the Young Seagoons. They are coming in 11 days!! I am so excited, getting the house ready and preparing their belongings so it's easy for them to pack for their trip to Belgium and Canada. There will be many hugs and maybe tears.
I am also going to be baking a giant cookie the size of Master Seagoon's head for a belated birthday present ( it's what he asked for ...lol )
It will be a maple syrup cookie in the shape of a coiled snail. :)
Breaking my fast in style this morning. Or, as I just realised, this afternoon. Making this brunch, I guess!

It's incredibly unfair that now my sleep is getting better that I feel utterly wrecked during the last few days.
I guess an 18 month sleep debt will do that.
yeah it's like any personal care / fitness regime: ya feel like shit until acclimation

Cat health, cancer mention, surgery mention
I asked questions, got a reply and it could be a Bowenoid in situ carcinoma which isnโt caused by light and I donโt need the UV film. A biopsy and surgical removal could be done by Melbcatโs usual vet but it requires a general anaesthetic.
Iโll talk to them about it. I have fears due to her age and blood pressure (and had a dream about her not surviving a surgery before any of this was discussed). But if she has a good chance of pulling up okay I might think about it.
In the meantime while I weigh things up and maybe arrange it Iโll continue the Aldara.

Ok now beer oclock ๐ป๐บ๐ป
You're late but you gotta earn the foloos for beer so you're forgiven. Cheers ๐บ
So fucking tired. Wish I could take another week off. Troublesome jacket has been ID'd to a specific address and a 14 year possible creation window. Half the rest of my wardrobe is in the washer being Re-dyed. The Void has been stenchful again, need to buy a uv light. Black, black, and black.

puts all the airfryer things into the dishwasher on a pot cycle and watches the power usage
oh yeah. Peak adulting here.
After a productive day yesterday I spent today in lazy mode instead. I did do some online shopping, mostly boring work clothes, but I have also ordered a reindeer antler headband for Christmas and a couple of Christmas t-shirts.
