Mickey's vaccination went well, uneventful. I got some dental treats for him as well, as his teeth are a bit yellow.
He's also 5.95kg, and NOT overweight or fat. The vet looked at him and was like "he's just massive for a DSH" π

Well done!
this is wonderful π
Goodnight all β€οΈ
She is so neat and tidy.
Beep beep π. SHE'S NOW A PROBATIONARY DRIVER!!!!π
Watch out World! There's a P plater on the prowl! Seriously, congrats to YL, its a big step. And I'm sure you've done your bit in helping her to adult behind the wheel.
I'd like to take the credit but it was all her dad's doing.
I sat in the pub today and happy cried twice in the Vic roads office. That's my contribution.
Awwww.
Congraaaaaaaats!!!
HOOOORAYYYYYY!!! Congrats to YL!!!
Congratulations to her!
Congrats youβre lucky. Mine has no interest in driving which isnβt that bad really. Just a bit surprising.
Youngies need to get out and explore while giving us oldies room to breathe.
Congrats to YL! Has she done the obligatory maccas drive through yet?
Nah not yet. Maybe later with a friend. It's pissing down here.
yay π₯βπ«π΅π
Awful tragedy in Porpunkah. How do people become so far gone into nutter idiotic beliefs. Hope they catch him soon. Must be frightening to be in Porpunkah tonight.
I reckon the guy will go bush, and won't be found for weeks. And it's a toss up if he will be even more mentally disturbed when he is found or will have calmed down a bit. Searching for him on foot or horseback with or without dogs is bloody dangerous if he's armed and apparently he is. And the local people/cops know this and will be keeping a very beady eye on isolated sheds and eatable livestock in distant paddocks. Never underestimate the bushcraft of nutters like this one cos they are sometimes quite impressively skilled in survival stuff. If it was me, I'd consider calling in a helicopter/drone and using thermal imaging to find him. Then the hard part would become actually catching him without getting shot.
When is that Hunted show coming back?
My butt is being kicked by whatever is going on with my mental health. The fact that from next week onwards, 25+ sets of eyes will be evaluating my performance at least twice a day, plus the resources I manage to create, is scaring the shit out of me. I'm really worried about not having time to do stuff and not performing. I dislike that I get overwhelmed so easily.
But I am reminding myself that I can ask for ideas.
Also remind yourself they want you to succeed. π
Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I'm in Perth.
Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don't want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I'm a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
As a homebody and recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won't be as bad as you think - heck you'll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he'll he fine.
The Kiffness is doing a gig at Northcote Theatre on Thursday 18th Sept. Have just bought tickets. Looks like very fun night.
Thanks for the heads up!
I totally misjudged my walk timing and got myself and Mr Woof very soggy.
it's certainly wild out there, the gate swung so hard in the wind it smashed a big terracotta pot near it
Had another recruiter reach out for an application I put in yesterday!
Just going to keep up the pace and hopefully something will click in place.
2nd interview at 1pm. Fingers crossed π€
It's great things are going so quickly for you. Lets hope the end of the month works in your favour

βSo, what Iβve gotten out of this is that weβre selling an unknown product to unknown customers for unknown pricing and we have no idea when or how itβs arriving?β
βWell, yesβ¦ but the vests have been ordered for the sales team.β
This place, I tells ya.
Hey now. Let's not dismiss the power of a snazzy vest!
But a vest on it's own is never going to do anything. It needs to be paired with the power of a custom pen and a printed stress ball.
Letβs not forget the water bottle with the printed logo
2nd interview went ok. I was pretty nervous tbh so if it doesnβt move ahead thatβs ok. But the guy did tell me what the next steps would be.
Fingers crossed but Iβm still applying to other jobs of course.

Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. Itβs windy out there, take care.
Today I am listening to Jared Diamond, Upheaval: Turning Points for Nations in Crisis
It is interesting so far. πThe author uses 7 countries as examples on how individuals, societies and countries cope in extreme situations.
I love his book Collapse - How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Really really thought provoking. Wasn't so impressed with Upheaval, but still interesting.
I will read that one next time. π
Interview this morning, the seek post definitely undersold the role. One guy liked me, one didn't. Let's see what happens.

Debating on going into office tomorrow and having Thursday and Friday WFH.
Alternatively, WFH tomorrow and Friday, come in Thursday.
I'll decide tomorrow morning when the alarm goes off I guess.
