Melbourne

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.

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.

Barely past 9am and already had enough.

This week bodes well.

Owing to scheduled upgrade, tomorrow’s Beep Beep service will be disrupted. Human replacing Chef has been arranged.

Happy Eurovision week to those who celebrate 😁

It feels like Spring.

Spring, but with an underlying scent of existential dread.

I'm looking around at all the stuff that needs to be packed and feeling very unmotivated. I'd like a magic wand please.

That's a good looking moon.

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.

Ahh, jury-free day for Erin Patterson's trial in order to condense stuff and apparently try and finish up quicker.

Fairly chill day.

From 100+ metres away. Patiently waiting.

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.

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

E: official ABC update re Kooyong

Enough work, to the bricks!

Oh dear, I did washing this morning and just realised I forgot to hang it up! I must hasten to the drying rack....

y'know

I think I have a hang over ...lol

argh, so itchy today!

The expensive maintenance thing the previous owner of my van was putting off turned out to be a timing belt. So my plans to maybe go to the new place tomorrow have been put off to allow time for the belt to be replaced. Otherwise all looks as expected for a six year old van, so that's good.

Mr Woof's new travel crate has been put together and I have his sheepskin blanket folded in the bottom. He should be quite cosy there once he gets used to the idea of being confined - I just have to work out the best way of strapping it down in the back of the van.

Rates notice for the wrong house. Somebody done fucked up.

Late start to the day but I'm going to find the motivation to start on this cursed thesis somewhere, I know I'll find it... maybe it's behind my couch... maybe I should check my butthole (ski-bap, ba-dap, butthole!)

I still haven't taken out my oodie btw. I AM loving these glorious sunny but cool days without too much wind, but I was expecting this last month?? Not now? I haven't even worn my trackpants yet!

once again I appear to be doing things man is not meant to do......

I'm starting to party plan this week I'm thinking I might need to buy some nice new drinking glasses then I look in my cupboard and I discover I really don't but they will need a nice wash.

Pretty much given up on work. Only delivering the essentials and not taking any initiative since other teams have started dumping their tasks on us with no consequences. Warned my boss that the reward for other teams not doing their work is them getting to assign us isn’t going to fly with me.

Apparently, our director “isn’t happy with the situation” but given they are yet to do anything to stop it they may as well be endorsing it.
