Interview is tomorrow!!! Wish me luck. It's between me and one other person
Edit: You guys are the best! Managing director and finance director who will be my direct report. Previous interview was with finance director so should be all good.
Went to get a coffee only wearing slippers because drive through. Step on the wet smooth concrete of the carport and slide a metre launching my phone out of my hands in the process. Both myself and the phone are physically fine, just a bruised ego.
The most frustrating thing about working in this small call centre is when people don't take their breaks on time.
I am on the late shift (10am - 6pm) and when they don't take their breaks/lunch on time, it ends up pushing my breaks/lunch out later and later. And I can't go first because "eVeRyOnE sHoUlD gO iN oRdEr"
This covid shit is no fkn joke, it's absolutely gutted me, its kind of scary. The fatigue is also something I've never felt before, I'm awake for 30mins tops, and then I'm out again until I wake myself from sweating through everything.
Yeah, by some crazy turn of events the housemate has not caught it, so they are playing nurse maid. We are also super lucky our house is designed in a way that allows us to completely quarantine from one another, including only them being able to access the kitchen.
Yeah that fever is a bastard. I hope it passes soon for you. I was taking pseudoephedrine and mersynofen every 4 hours (which I've sadly run out of, I might head to the medical centre for more now) and I've been sleeping as much as I can.
Boss called me in to start work a couple of days earlier than I expected, and I'm destitute enough to be pretty glad of it. Turns out he's got an injury so he needed me to do all of the hard yakka that he usually does 💪 It was good to do a bit of lifting and carting things around. I was born in the year of the ox, and it seems to influence my life in odd ways!
Absolutely shocking humidity. It's that real sickly kind of humidity you get during monsoon in South East Asia. Having flashbacks to my last trip Vietnam.
I went to Vietnam in the middle of winter, so went from the cold weather here to stepping off the plane in Hanoi to 40+ humid degrees. It was about 5 days of 40+ temperatures before it finally rained. Absolutely brutal.
Bit of flooding on the roads so becareful out there and I happened to park my car in a small patch of a lake that expanded under a significant area of the car park.
I want to grow some herbs. Obviously not to today. Chives, basil you know the easy shit but I'm worried about animals urinating on things I'm gonna eat. So here's my idea. I have a portacot, if I put herbs in there and put a shade cloth of the top, it should work right? I can even put wheels on it. Where would the best place to put it? Shade or full sun?
I would grow them indoors on a window sill. Truly the thought of animal pee has never occurred to me, I wash all food I grow anyway, including fruit from the trees.
So I turned the Aircon off for a couple of hours where it felt like for a brief period things had cooled down a bit. Unfortunately the crippling humidity has returned and a/c is back on.
I really hope it doesn't feel like the deep south tomorrow but with the sun coming out and everything so soggy I can't see it being pleasant.
I had left over béchamel sauce from making lasagne. I’ve found out that I should have put it on the lasagne, I didn’t put enough on. Mistakes made, lessons learned.
My lawn seems to be like painting the harbour bridge lately... by the time I get to the end of it, I need to go back to the beginning and start again :|
I've always wanted to tie the mower to a clothesline and set it off in ever smaller circles. Suspect it doesn't work and I don't have that type of clothesline :(
I realised that I don't have to do the shopping run I thought I had to do. Considering I got soaked just walking around to open the gates, this is a good thing.
Really getting into Dennis Lehane this year (ha), read Shutter Island and midway through Mystic River. I knew the Shutter Island ending, but still a great read and Mystic River has me firmly engrossed so far.
the amount of flood alerts in the vic emergency app for my suburb is nuts. Wondering how wet the AC condenser unit can get before it becomes a problem.
Does anyone have suggestions for good catteries in Melbourne? I'm still having health issues and wasn't happy with the one Melbcat recently went to.
Bonus points for fear free techniques, experience with older cats who have medical issues, cats who are stressed by other cats and especially ones that withdraw or soil in fear.
Would a pet sitting service be more appropriate or less stressful for Melbcat? By pet sitting, I mean coming to Melbcat's home to feed her and give pills etc.
I hate removing her from her familiar environment but am not really on board with someone I don't know entering my house, and don't want her left alone a lot. Also her pills are every day at 6am and 6pm so not exactly convenient hours
