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.

My parents get a guide dog puppy to foster today. I am resigned to the fact I will no longer be the favourite child

I gotta new swimming pool in my yard just in time for summer. 😎

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"

Fucksticks

Work phoned: "I know you don't work Monday, but could you do one job today?".
Ha ha ha no way.

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.

200~ emails. Half a dozen teams messages. Could have been a lot worse!

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 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 was just on the road for a bit.

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.

Lucky I wear boots.

Back to work. It's been a nice break.

My in ground pool is about to overflow…..

And the lawns are all going to need mowing again

Seems like it’s a once a week job this spring and summer (takes hours, lots of lawn)

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.

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.

Ugh. Work. Spreadsheets can eat a dick.

I don't really like bananas but gee I get excited over banana cake.

First formal team meeting of the year: my internet dropped. One other person had a power failure. Off to a great start

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.

This is tea weather ☕️🫖🫖🫖🫖🫖

Space fans: the new Vulcan rocket launches at 6:18pm https://www.youtube.com/live/wZ6KTFMHenA?feature=shared

Finished the rest of Wool as an audiobook to give my eyes a break. That final twist!! I can't wait to read the rest next two books.

Cats are bored so I brought out all the cat toys.
