Have a good one 🙂
I have a funny feeling my foreign name might be stopping me from getting interviews, so I’ve gone with a “Christian” replacement.
Let’s see what happens.
“So…tell us a little about your previous employment experience Mr………Fluffybutt? “
This shouldn’t humour me as much as it does!
I enjoy chasing aluminium paper rolled into balls, and randomly attacking the slave that feeds me.
My kind of job description!
If that works it will be very disappointing
There have been studies about this, it’s proven to be true.
The ones I recall seeing were about ‘ghetto’ names in the US. Going to be interesting to see how the Braxxxyn generation fares on this.
I picked the whitiest whiteful name I could think of. It’s the verbal equivalent of a stale salada with no topping.
Nice to meet you Bianca Le Blanc.
Hi John Smith. 😊
FIRST
(Yeah imma be that guy today)
Made some lovely banana bread yesterday to have for breakfast.
By 8 am the loaf was gone (family helped).
Teenagers?
Yep, two of them.
Mine would eat an entire cake by himself in 5mins, given the opportunity
There’s a reason I don’t put a lot of sugar into my baking. Everything disappears so quickly, might as well make it slightly healthier.
I’ve just used wholemeal flour in a cake as we speak
Do you have a recipe to share? I use this one
I used 3/4 of raw sugar because that’s what I had and I airfried it because why not.
I use brown sugar instead of white and add chopped walnuts. Also I use our little benchtop oven, cause it’s more efficient.
Works every time.
Just a heads-up - it’s a full moon tonight and everyone is nuts. Me included, lol
What’s a little psychopathy between friends?
animals outside were already nuts last night and woke me up multiple times
This coffee ain’t doing it. And the tiredness will continue for a couple of days more. 7am flight to Sydney tomorrow, and another early-ish morning on Wednesday before coming home. Easter break will be for sleeping.
Baku 🤝 sleeping
I know right? its doing its best but its still a struggle.
Doesn’t seem to be working for me either and the day is only half over :(
Autumn days are so beautiful. It’s like the world is resting after all the hard work of spring and summer and getting ready for winter.
Autumn evenings, when the temperature drops are my favourite. Cozying up on the couch in a hoodie and trackies, after shorts and t-shirt during the day is so comforting.
changing out of shorts and into warmer clothes is nice, especially having a little bit of light left still.
This is Goldilocks weather for me. Best of both worlds.
I love autumn with a touch of sunshine like yesterday. So romantic.
I’d like a little more rain to make me really happy, everything is so dry and the grass is so dead.
Oh no. I have a sick child at home. I will be spending the day disinfecting the door handles and stocking up on supplies.
It’s the one time you’re happy for them to insist on staying in their room…
and the one time they will want to roam the house telling you they’re siiiick
Haha. You know it sista. It’s exactly what she said when she emerged from her cave, touched the fridge, opened the cupboard, probably touched all the spoons in the drawer and made a bowl of weeties. She’ll go back and hibernate soon.
I won’t respond to my ex’s message, but boy do I want to. I just want to photos of our dog Ruby. My ex and I adopted her when she was 1; she’d be 10 or so now.
Sweet puppy, my beautiful bow-legged Barb. Gosh how I miss you so, my Ruby-Rhubarb.
Help I had interview today for job I turned down despite good effort to convince me but head overflowing with Thoughts and Realisations and felt wanted yet cautious of attention and now have other opportunity come up through contact that is also bringing up many emotions brain firing in many directions and thinking about all of life’s questions at once in a calm yet monumentous manner wrote 3 pages in Word of thoughts and fears which is like whoaaa but also shiiit also had coffee at interview and then did 500 things after and have not eaten since yesterday oh fuck okay I better make some dinner and eat it asap ahhhhh.
Deep breaths. Food. Ground and center yourself. Sending virtual hugs over the aether.
Yes ma’am. I have partaken of a delicious broccoli and tuna pasta and written down many more Thoughts that have settled.
This has sort of been a therapy-breakthrough type of day, without the $200 price tag.
I’ve assembled enough angels to be able to call out all my career-related demons by name, and get both sides to look each other in the eye and shake hands. Sometimes they do look awfully alike… 🤔
(One of those angels is you, by the way! I won’t forget your comments about being gentle with my reactions to things after what I went through with my last boss. This has given me a lot of clarity and calm)
Happy to have helped, however minor the help.
Oh boy I’m real tired. I had some stuff in my hand to throw in the bin and I walked to the laundry, lifted the laundry basket lid and ALMOST released before realising that a moment earlier I’d thought about picking up yesterday’s tshirt and putting it in the laundry basket and that’s how that all happened. I think I might make the effort to seek coffee this morning.
I yawned just reading your post
I get the sense that its gonna be a really long week.
Tell me about it.
Got two weeks off after this week, the longest break from work I’ve had since 2016.
Which means this week is going to feel like a month. And then the fortnight after that will disappear in a flash :|
Gonna feel like 2 weeks crammed into 4 days. Not looking forward to the heat this weekend either.
Yep. This morning has been an absolute nightmare at work so it’s going super slowly but also so much work to squash in to the week.
I’m tired but I don’t want to go to bed. Flashbacks to childhood lol
My lift for the GP tomorrow fell through so I canceled. I’m not making it there under my own steam.
I’m scrubbing cat bowls while puddin rests and have ordered some paper bowls for her meals while I’m drowning. A different brand of flea drops is on the way to break the cycle (Nexgard Spectra) because apparently Advocate can be less effective in the last 2 weeks.
Tomorrow I probably sort an appointment with the regular vet for this week. I’m very likely going to have to get her there myself in a taxi which is exhausting but I’ll do my best.
I haven’t forgotten the orange cat. The poor little eyes. I’ll call the council when I can but don’t know if he’ll be there. When things are less fucked I might do an occasional recce and see if I can trick him into the carrier
Wtf‽ Wtf wtf wtf‽
My ex just sent me a lengthy dm on Reddit talking about our relationship and whatnot.
What the actual fuck? I was wondering why I woke up at this hour; I felt a disturbance in the force.
Now I have to deal with this?! For real? Ugh wtf
The past is past. One late night/early morning rambling dm doesn’t change that. You’ve moved on. Maybe ignoring the message is the way to go?
Delete and move on! As you said, fuck that noise!
Is not responding an option?
Not responding is what I plan on doing, because fuck that noise. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Partner and I had a laugh at my ex’s message, discussed which Schitt’s Creek gif to send as a reply. Opted for no reply, still.
It was a nonsense message, with no substance. Sent to satisfy their own selfish need for forgiveness and closure. It would have made for better content on r/unsentletters. Self-centred as always; the most hurtful thing I could do to them at this point is to not even acknowledge it.
How gross of them.
If it’s that cringe maybe submit to the museum of broken relationships? https://www.brokenships.com
I can’t imagine what that is like, sounds immature. Life is messy and full of unanswered questions and unfinished relationships.
But at least better than the nasty messages or phone calls I would get from family or exes. I just ignored them.
