After being “a really amazing candidate, ɓut we just had this other person with x” for way too many jobs, I’ve finally been offered a job that’s interesting, uses some of my skills, is 20 minutes from home, and is good money. Fucking finally.
That’s amazing. I think my work being so close to home has made it a lot more tolerable than more interesting jobs further away
Congrats!
🎉👏🏻
Winning!!!
Buy a lotto ticket this week
Yayy!!!
Congraaaaaaaaaats!!!
aww yiss. the peasant employers were merely placeholders keeping you free until the prize job came up.
🥂
Congrats! You deserve a break after such a long job search. And to hit the trifecta of easy commute + interesting/relevant + $ is particularly awesome.
Congrats!
Excellent news! Congratulations 🎉
Congrats!!! That’s so exciting!
It feels like Spring.
Spring, but with an underlying scent of existential dread.
the weather be a little odd
I am pleased to inform you all that today coming home there was no terrorist on my train.
I admit to getting a little nervous when we stopped at Footscray.
That’s a good looking moon.
Right?.. I’ve never really been able to see the man…
Its a rabbit, not a man.
You’re a good looking calmoon 🌝
Here comes the chaos (according to the full moon skeptics)
Fairly chill day.
From 100+ metres away. Patiently waiting.
I am sooo tempted to ask kindly to have one of the gingers.
Me too…
Can you start a DT cat shelter? Pretty pleaseee
My whole dream is to buy a piece of land or an existing farm property with some land and start an animal shelter.
That’s what I’m working towards. Fully remote work so I can live far away.
Enough work, to the bricks!
you have a lovely Turkish bowl. 🙂
also, lego 🙂
Thank you. It is unfortunately very very repaired thanks to some prior zoomies.
What are you making?
31161 the Nessie variant
Looks like fun. I must schedule myself some build time soon.
Oh dear, I did washing this morning and just realised I forgot to hang it up! I must hasten to the drying rack…
You mean feline jungle gym
Miss Meow is too busy doing her quality control nap checks on Mr Woof’s carry cage to be playing with the washing.
once again I appear to be doing things man is not meant to do…
Bugger it, my local gym is closing. I’m especially sad because it’s got one of the best cycle rooms. Fingers crossed another gym moves in, it’s in such a convenient spot for me.
Username appropriate.
dunno if this helps? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/903838
Thank you! :)
Barely past 9am and already had enough.
This week bodes well.
tired already
My afternoon downers are hitting about 3 earlier.
I did not consent to this.
Slept too well to justify a coffee, but one tea ain’t cutting it.
I slept really well too BUT woke up at and 5 and fell back asleep until 6 instead of getting up.
I’m well rested but need a caffeine jolt.
Saaaame. Fucked a tyre around the corner from work (so not far enough away that I could use it as an excuse to not come in), warehouse is absolute fucking shambles, just grumpy at everyone.
Sorry could help myself
nswf humour
Of course you came in when you fucked a tyre. It’s not like you can pull out!
Fucked a tyre
Ooh seems like a new trend!
Take your trend back, please!! Glad to read you had a pretty view while waiting at least!
Oh shit that’s a bad way to start the week.
Hope this day flies and tomorrow is a fresh and better start.
argh, so itchy today!
I’m looking around at all the stuff that needs to be packed and feeling very unmotivated. I’d like a magic wand please.
I’ll do you one better. Let me present the Tinybreak guide to packing:
1)Make a bunch of Boxes
2)Pick up an item
3)consider “does this spark joy”?
4)Decided you dont care, yeet it into a box.
To take this to the pro level: -Skip Step 3 and try to avoid putting fragile shit at the bottom. A couple of drinks and a bluetooth speaker with some gym music really helps things along too.
To be clear, this is legit advice. yeet it all into a box sort it out at the other end.
I still have a few weeks before the move and I’d like to cull some of my stuff a bit more instead of moving stuff I don’t actually want. Panicked yeeting into a box is scheduled for everything left the week before the move.
I have managed to pack two boxes of fragile servingware today. All boxes are being liberally padded out with bits of fabric from my stash. By the time I get to the sewing room there should not be much fabric left to pack.
Sending house pixies your way, when I find them
Ooh, I leaned about how to find those when I was in Brownies. You have to go find a pond, turn around three times and look in the water while reciting a rhyme to see them. It goes “twist me and turn me and show me the elf”. You look in the water and see… yourself.
Indoctrinating young girls into their role as house keepers, gotta love it. Pretty sure the Scouts didn’t get that one. Unfortunately it’s also right, this is all on me. I’d rather a helpful pixie.
Ah, was never part of such an organisation but it sounds unpleasant.
Ahh, jury-free day for Erin Patterson’s trial in order to condense stuff and apparently try and finish up quicker.
Ooh ooh ooh I think the ABC have quietly called Kooyong for Monique Ryan. Still in the realm of just under 700 votes ahead at 89.4% of votes counted, but if the ABC is confident about this then… hooray! Can’t do much about Tim Wilson but it’ll be great for Amelia Hamer to be relegated to irrelevance
I feel sorry for Zoe and footage of her early celebrating only to lose her seat. At least Monique won’t suffer the same fate!
Yes, that was definitely a bit arrogant of Zoe… I think Monique and co are trying to lie low after that whole thing with her husband
Yay!!!
Looking after aunt’s doggo for 3.5 weeks in a few days.
Have to juggle that w/ a bunch of other stuff but should be alright. Pretty low maintenance at his age now thankfully. Being so long gonna see if I can get him a bit more fit.
This is not hambam?
This is hambam!
Can’t wait for him to ignore me at the dog park and just wander off.
Oh right! I guess he’s calmed down from what he used to be. But still wont to do what he wants…
