I hope everyone has a great night ❤️
My headache wasn't too bad today, and I got to Wfh which helped heaps.
Work is going OK, responsibilites are amping up, but I like that. Get along OK with most people which is a plus.
Thank you everyone who put up with my drama over the last 6 months. You guys all made such a huge positive impact on my life. I don't know if I would have gotten through it without you ❤️

I am so happy things are working out well for you. You really deserve this. 😘
I’m so glad you kept at it and persisted even though it was hard.
One of my friends tried to switch careers and had a ton of IT tech experience and he couldn’t for the life of him find a job many years back.
In the end he went back to his former company as they were happy to take him back if things didn’t pan out.
Don’t forget to treat yourself to something special every now and again!
You earned it and put in the hard work to get where you are now. You did that for you and Gibson, and you're succeeding.
I'm just happy to hear things have worked out so well for you and you're enjoying your work
It's important to stack your cats to start the morning. Ignore the dog, she's pretending to be neighbourhood watch.
Omg. It's like the Brady Bunch.
Typical JR "THERE'S A FLY IN MY YARD".
to the fucker who microwaved fish in the office: Do us all a favor and tell your boss you have to change to WHF full time since you are clearly unable to work in a civilized office.
I was more thinking "make like a Russian oligarch who doesn't support the war" and out the window with 'em.
It's 2024. Who the fuck doesn't know about how much people hate this?!?!
Sooo yeh I'm in between jobs rn and it feels pretty awesome
You know how you put banana's into the freezer to make banana cake and eventually end up just throwing out a hoard of old bananas before starting the cycle again? I pulled out my bananas and made a cake.
My shoulder is fucked, which means possible headache most of the day.
Hopefully not...
You gotta stop jacking off with just one hand, you gotta switch them up dude
Good night everyone and may no greebles bother you in the night 😘
Good morning, I was unbothered by greebles for the entire night. Miss Meow crept in early this morning to guard me from any that may have decided to make an appearance. I hope your night was simalarly greeble free.
75% of my team is sick and WFH.....I mean so am I, but still.
There's definitely some funky office bug circling.
I just accidentally ate two slices of banana cake. In my defence it is still warm from the oven.
That's just testing to make sure it's ok. It can take up to 4 largish slices to deem it edible.
I have followed your advice, testing has now deemed the cake ok. Fortunately it was a large cake 🤣. I now have 16 slices packaged in the freezer, and two more slices to take into work for the next two days.
So, most of my practical** assessments are done for this semester, bar one which should be done next week. Just gotta review them before submission, tighten up some terminology, and I'm sorted.
Crazy how I absorb so much information and do so well, when I'm not abused on the phones for 8 hours straight
Edit: not practice 🤦♀️🤦♀️ practicals ugh
family whinge
Niece seems to have zero interest in hanging out with me and makes the thinnest of excuses to do so while spending almost every weekend with my cousin 2 hours away by train. Also sucks that cousin who used to be in touch more has glommed onto having her over and I'm basically invisible to them... stings a bit but I'm kind of okay with it since I don't super enjoy either of their company tbh, and I certainly hated obligatory aunty visits when I was that age. I've made it clear to my brother that I've tried but if his daughter's not interested I'm not going to push it, she's old enough to decide. Just wish she'd be more honest.
The thing that gets me hackles up is that I suspect very, very toxic ex sister in law is increasingly involved and brainwashing said cousin (who is of the gullible type). She's all about secrets and drama and thinks nothing of creating division to get attention she cover her numerous lies (including in court - she is utterly shameless). Years of being hated on by her - and in the past, my brother as well - make me ultra sensitive to some BS being spread about me...
... But fuck it. If cousin is going to believe that officially duplicitous bitch over knowing me from childhood then I'm not going to waste any more mental energy on the lot of them. Focus on the people who believe in and care about me
In other news, what a ripper day outside! Got back my blood test results and my vit D is the best it's been in winter, the supplements definitely helped but so has being out on nice days like this.
So many hugs. It's so hard when we have people like that in our lives.
I went NC with my family of origin, it was sad but the no drama was worth it.
80s kids party food please.
Already got: fairy bread, snakes in cups, choc crackels, those cornflake things, terrible little frankfurts.
Cheezels, a bowl of smarties and frog in a pond.
Jelly slice, jelly slice, jelly slice.
Party pies! And dead horse to eat with franks and pies and mini sausage rolls. Best put on table in bowls so the sauce bottle doesn't get used as a weapon or smashed on the floor. Ask me how I know this (no, don't - it's embarrassing).
I have decided to treat myself.
I bought 6kg of chicken drumsticks.
I will be well fed!
Aw yeeee boiiii, two hands one mouth those drumsticks, like the hominids of old! Go full caveman!
Thinking of you today @underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ♥️🫂
Thanks so much. It's actually next Thursday, but I'm feeling ok about it at the moment. Thinking about a day at the hot springs, soaking in hot water.
I will unthink about you today and think about you next Thursday. Hot Springs sounds like a good idea.
❤️
Do we have any recent news about Nellie? Or do we get the calendar photo early next month?
The clearing out of stuff and the tidying and the fixing up furniture is working out really well. I am starting to see results. :)
Better day today than yesterday. Not sure if it was a better night sleep or not but I was able to calm things down a lot more today.
Why does Apple Music always serve me up Pantera? I hate fuckin Pantera.
