I got the job!!!!!! General manager rang to congratulate me. I'll feel better once I have the contract, but still.
The search is finally fucking over. I was down to emergency levels of funding as this makes a huge difference.
It's the day for good news hey? Congrats to us both!! Hope that contract comes through soon, I can't imagine they'd dick you around. Definitely feel you on starting to scratch around a bit for funds, you'll sleep well when those paychecks come through :)
Fuck yesssss! You bloody legend! Whoo hoo!!
Party noises!
Background checks went through, got the official job offer call, nego'd a slight bump, contract should be through tomorrow and with any luck I'll be starting next Tuesday! And how good is this: they said after a few weeks I can change my specified working days to suit my needs, so I'm not fixed to the two days I pick at the start. How good is that?? Ultra flexibility!! Feeling very good about the job 😄
First ever actual job application submitted. Took me two days to get the CV and Cover letter in proper shape but now I can modify them lightly for other jobs.
Onya bacon. Good luck 🤞
Thank you!
Ms Cat had a big day yesterday. First of all she stole my bed and my girl at 6am.
Then in the evening she stole my cash.
Next she steals your car and heads to the pokies.
Ms Cat is a gold digger and a heartbreaker and MAKES NO EXCUSES FOR IT.
High roller kitty.
Mayor of Tinytown
Oh she CERTAINLY is. There was no elections, its an authoritarian dictatorships.
My indoor cat just dashed through the door as I was going out. First time she has done this. I only adopted her almost a month.
Panic!
She jumped my fence which borders a large park. I grabbed a blanket, some food and went into the park, yelling her name but not really hopeful.
My son comes out yelling "Mum! She's at the back door!". He let's her in and she bolts for a bed to hide under.
She can have all the pets and treats tonight. My heart rate is gonna take some time to recover.

My girl broke through a flyscreen while I was out. I got home and freaked the fuck out. Ran around in a panic.
Found her hiding from the rain, meowing sadly next to the window she broke out of.
Aww! poor girl! I bet the relief you felt when you got her back was intense. Sounds like the rainy weather kept her close.
My girl just bolted. When she jumped the fence my heart dropped. We're close to Scotchmans Creek and the foxes there that have been known to attack cats. She's not much of a climber inside so seeing that just told me how panicked she was. Or determined.
Since she's been back inside she's had some bonus treats and resumed sitting in her favorite spot by the window.
In pants on a tram. The things I do for money...
if you're on a tram without pants I think that costs you more money, just quietly.
Well it's sad to see the Bendigo Hotel closing, they have also done a lot to pee off the metal scene recently.
Things have been really sus there since the start of this year. Booking less metal, removing metal merch on the wall, and trying to change the vibe of the place.
Looks like the Ungrateful Dead fest also has to find a new venue as well.
Have an interview with a different place this afternoon. If they move me to the 2nd stage then I'll probably send an email to the other guys and see if they can give me an answer soon.
Zucchini slice in da oven..
First time making it.
Suffice it to say I'm hoping I don't fuck it up.
After reading some pointers a few said to strain the zucc after grating so it's not mushy and I have to say the raw juice was delicious.
That heat really knocked me around. My sleeping pattern is worse than ever
I spent the whole day sweating like crazy for no good reason. Body must still be adjusting to normality
Pi day pide dough has been made and is now rising. I'm going to do a mix of eggplant and tomato with a bit of roast lamb with moroccan seasoning and top with some slices of bocconcini.

Thanks to you guys I've got an in on today's NYT crossword - usually Fridays (e: also Thursdays!) are too hard for me but I might still have a chance having figured out the theme early.

Come to think of it…does anyone know where Smeg went/if she’s all right? I haven’t seen her DTing in months
I checked her profile a while ago cause I was concerned, but she was posting on puppy subs, so I figured she'd just been lost to the DT amongst all of... that gestures vaguely
Occasionally I look up the date for special days and discovered today is Steak & Blow job day. Don't worry ladies there's Cake & Cunnilingus day on April 14 for us. And here I thought they were just for birthdays. I went with pi day.
I’m going to hop on the bike for a bit
you’re supposed to peddle
Mrs gets the mechanical check back on her potential new car today. If it passes she'll probably be picking it up tonight. Told her this is it though. If I'm back on carsales again within the next 4 years i'll lose my mind. Her new-to-her car will be the 6th car we've "owned" in the last 2 years. I'm absolutely over it.
My elbow scab is SO ITCHY!! ARGH!! It has been itchy for days but I've done really well to not scratch at it but it's driving me mental!
I could not find a nice card for Steak and Blowjob day😞
I think that's the point. You don't need a card, just an appetite for meat.
Morning. My work day will begin shortly, but first there will be tea
