I had an interview today for the exact sort of time I want at a place I'd be happy to work for. If that works out I'd start at the end of the month, so right when my 2 weeks pay from the old place would go up to.
If this works out I'm pretty much getting a 2 week holiday before starting work I actually enjoy
Got the news this morning but haven't brought myself to tell anybody yet so you'll be the first. I did the glucose resistance test last week and it seems I have type 2 diabetes. I felt fine during and after the tests so I thought maybe I'd be ok but apparently not so much.
It was almost inevitable, I think, considering dad and I are so similar and he has it. I'm still processing it though. I don't think I have any of the symptoms of it but no doubt if I don't start managing it they'll start popping up. This is my first real health issue. Never broken a bone or had to go to hospital besides normal infant stuff. Not as invincible as I suspected.
Alrighty. One more sleep to the gig!
Now the excitement is building up 🎶🎸
Jesus christ it's fucking hot on this train. Sweating buckets. Poor dude near me looks like he thinks I'm a biohazard
Edit: bought a spare set of strings just in case. I'm glad I have a couple of hours after work to just chill out beforehand.
So I tried Five Guys last night
Fries = legit, still had a really nice texture even after a journey in the front of my scooter in the rain. Massive serving. There’s a station at the back of the ordering line where you can fill your own tubs of ketchup, mayo and malt vinegar, so your chips get sauces and stuff entirely to your liking
Burger = got a cheeseburger. Thought it was decent; probably not worth as much as it actually cost, but I did like being able to customise it fully for no extra charge.
Shake = basic vanilla for testing purposes, was thicc
I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Five Guys again, but if you’re in the area it’s pretty solid fast food
Tinyest's language comprehension appears to have exploded. Still limited words back, but answers are starting to form. Last night I asked him if he wanted to get out of the bath. He shakes his head and says something similar to "nuh". I asked if he wants a bottle, he ponders for a second and goes "Yeh" and starts climbing out of the bath. Blew my mind. Didnt realize he was there yet.
Wasted an hour this morning not being able to find my keys. Turns out they'd fallen into a boot. Well there goes my prep time for today's meeting...
I'm always banging on about Thank God You're Here. They recently posted the best clip of the last 2 seasons on youtube, well worth a watch. I think the season finale is tonight.
Night gang again 😟
Uni meeting didn't go as badly as i thought, but I've been feeling really out of it and congested most of the rest of the day. Brain really has taken a battering after the past few days and there's no rest in sight as I've got a major job ahead with cleaning up the house for inspection next week, and also starting to line up rental inspections myself (fuck that noise majorly, but I got no choice).
It's a real effort to try and relax and not constantly feel like I should be doing something

Gnight everyone
I never managed to sort out the problem changing my bank account with the work payroll portal, they ended up having to enter it manually for me. So now my pay will be going to my shiny new savings account, earning 5% interest with Macquarie, instead of the boring old transaction account, which was about to have it's interest rate cut to 2.75%. I expected the biggest hassle would be changing all my automatic payments, the actuall payroll bit was supposed to be easy!
It's a few years old, but this episode about the sound of sport from 99% Invisible is really interesting - https://pca.st/episode/81cbf660-03f3-0132-a289-5f4c86fd3263
Sister had her performance meeting today.
They just said she has a lot to learn because she's only been there for a year and she's the youngest in her team. They gave her no feedback on her actual performance. There are people in the same role who have been there longer and are earning at least 10k more than her. I hope she jumps ship soon and finds something better.
Two more weeks until I'm free from academic jail for the year, and I'm dying to visit some dive bars. Going to
forcegently nudge some friends and hopefully they'll be up for it. If not, I shall bring a book so I don't sit there awkwardly and enjoy the ambience.Sleepy, the garbage trucks were extra early and extra noisy this morning.
Today sucked for pain but I saw a skink in my house. Which was interesting. I’m glad Melbcat didn’t see it because even at her age she is a fantastic hunter.
No idea how it got in. Considered catching/shooing him out to avoid brutal murder by cat, but didn’t want to traumatise him or make him drop his tail. So I didn’t get any closer. Hoping he finds his way safely out.
Watching Terms of Endearment because it's supposedly famously melodramatic. Why is everyone in this movie so horrible/creepy. John Lithgow has such an innocent and smooth face though
E: how was this such a popular movie, so much schlock. I hate almost everyone in this. So manipulative! What a sign of changed morals...

Good work deserves good recommendation, knowing where to invest, what to invest on, who to trust and how to make profit can be very difficult as a beginner, but when you work with the right people the road to financial freedom becomes a lot easier.
