I GOT THE FUCKING JOB!!!!!!

Presentation went well despite not feeling 100% (run down and tired from crap sleep) and being nervous throughout. The show must go on, so I did my best. Just couldn't shake the nerves today. I think I did enough to convince the audience that I'm someone they could work with, that's what matters at the end of the day. And I had a few people stick around afterwards asking questions and taking my business card which I think is a good sign. We'll see what comes of it!

First sunset swim in a while.

Had dins on the beach too which I've really missed.

Now it's time to capture a comet.

Another interview done and moving to the next round!

Have another later this morning which is the one that I discussed the police check with.

Let’s see how it goes!

Edit: I think it went ok. They’ve done reference checks already before the interview and like I said, I gave a comprehensive explanation about the police check.

Let’s see what happens.

I sent them a screenshot of my police check.

I’ve been completely transparent, taken responsibility and I haven’t had a single issue in 9 years.

There’s still a 50% chance they’ll knock me back though.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but it’s hard not to.

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes :)

Not even the concrete saw that's cranking across the road can get me down. For now lol

Goodnight all ❤️

Gawd needed that sleep.

Don't have to deal with little meltdowns from ol' girl for the next 2 days. Takes its toll that's for sure. Some of them are head scratchers.. like refusing to get on the scales (she has to), then turning around and saying the only reason she's not gaining weight is because I'm not feeding her enough to get rid of her. Then come dinner, little meltdown about her not wanting to put ensure in her food and that we're bullying her. She'd be sub 40kg easy w/out it.

The real head scratcher is she has all her memory, knows what's happening but just refuses very easy things that'll help. It's a very weird form of incident dementia. You could easily just pass it off as just being old and grumpy and I'm sure a lot do. Thankfully ol' boy finally agrees w/ me that that's what it is. Doesn't change much except at least it's an explanation. Viewing it through that makes things bit less frustrating.

Lotta stigma there, so I can see why ol' boy is reluctant to get her into a neuro as it'd just be upsetting and yet another lengthy process for her. For me it'd be good know definitively but I'm done locking horns about that now.

But shit's stable, ignoring the meltdowns and just gonna keep doing what's working.

Almost there stay on target! Cat stole one of the laser bits, I'll find it eventually.

Have gymed. Now delicious peanut stir fry

Fun night at work last night, computers said NO so I had to write everything down on paper instead. Then my pen said no too, snapped in half and all its insides fell out. It's just hard to find good help these days.

So apparently I'm grinding my teeth less during the night, if at all, according to my partner. Which is good! I'm not waking up with god awful headaches.

But I've replaced it with clutching my doona causing tendon and muscle pain in my hands 🤦‍♀️

I win some, I lose some 😂

So if you want another year of Windows 10 support you can activate an Extended support option in Settings > Updates and security > Windows Update > Then in the middle of the window there's the extended support option, choose to backup settings to make it free.

Roadworks from 10pm till 5am for another 2 and a half weeks.

Hard to block it out when it shakes the fucking house.

Fuckers. When I was in Cheltenham and they were doing this they offered to put me up in a hotel.

But this area isn't fancy enough it seems.

It's glorious out here. Watching the Raven family wander around. Little Raven juveniles are very demanding.

31 tomorrow 🫣

Happy World Mushroom Day 🍄

Across the road there's a share house. On days like these they sit in their driveway on the back of a Ute with shirts off, mullets flowing, drinking with not a woman in sight. I call it the Bro Club. Binoculars come in very handy.

Howdy 🤠

Melbcat’s results are back, she does have a uti still and it is enterococcus. Vets have finally given in on the antibiotics and agreed to an extended course. I’m hoping it’s ready by tomorrow.

::: spoiler spoiler She’s allergic to one that would be effective but thankfully there’s one or two that might still work and I’m hoping the long course will be effective on the bacteria sheltering in the bladder lining 🤞 ::: She’s such a trooper. She’s still happily eating, curious about outside, still affectionate… it’s just so hard to get rid of this single issue.

It's ride to work day today. Nowhere near me is giving out free breakfast so I just made my own coffee and rode to work like I do most mornings.

Woke up way too early this morning after a bad nights sleep. Wave of drowsiness has just hit. Today will need several coffees.

Ode to Percy Bysshe Shelley

I read Ozymandias, it was very long

longer than the long long song in hop on pop

I can't remember what it was about,

it was a long time ago and I have forgotten

you were totes awesome in the OG Frankenstein movie

Byron stole the stage, he always does

so much BD energy he limps

but just like Mozart you shagged the little sister too,

Byron never did that

I stole your pome yesterday, to a Skylark

and put in some modern argot, it turned out ok 🙂

I never do know how to pronounce your name

is it Per-cee or Per-se

I think I need a coffee

had a lot of sleep but will sleep some more

Shudder sometimes gets the ratings a bit off.

::: spoiler despite the app saying it has nudity and strong sex scenes, Leave (2022) has none at all 😂 :::

Made me brace for it the whole film and nothing lol

Seems to have received bad to average reviews, but I enjoyed it! I'd call it more of a thriller with ghost elements, rather than a horror.

Got home late tonight because a) some people were trying to get food after the Meetup but everything was closed and b) buses replacing trains. Had a lovely chat with PSOs who were very kind in walking me to my car. They told me I should've texted the stop it line for the guy last week, or even just pressed the red button. I thought the red button was for when someone's life is at danger, not a guy being a nuisance and making people feel unsafe.
