  Feeling better. At the end of the day, I never give up. I wouldn’t be here now if I was like that.

  So the job search continues.

  Owing to Chef’s obtainment of a second shift job, Breakfast at the usual Breakfast time will cease in one (1) month. Would patrons like Elevenses instead, or for the daily food service to meet its end?

    Congratulations on a new job! I think you should move to a food truck and when you’re in the area, give a little toot and see who’s hungry.

    Congratulations, Chef! Thank you for your long service during some particularly hard times and the dedication to keep going until now. May you always be blessed with bountiful offerings of food during the day and offerings of all other useful resources after eight…

    I vote food truck. As long as your new employer allows moonlighting. Also please close the after eight business, I have accrued some… Debt.

  Final night in Japan. Pretty bushed but satisfied with how the day went and also ready to go home. It feels nice to think of somewhere in Australia really as home after over a decade of uncertainty.

  My bag is absolutely packed to the max with stuff including like 1kg of tea in 13 different packets. And thankfully there’s a free laundry at the hotel so I don’t have to travel with the last few days clothes stinking everything up. Feeling pretty good about things and glad not to be dreading work…

  Still upset about what my friend said last night. I somewhat gave up on our closeness a while ago since he got into a relationship.

  But to think that someone you considered family thinks so little of your capabilities is hurtful.

  Full disclosure: I’m on disability support pension. The way it works is if you’re employed you report your income and if something happens, you don’t have to reapply.

  So when he said “maybe you should just stay on DSP”, it was like a knife in the chest.

  Sorry for the rant, but it’s been bugging me.

      Sadly it is. It’s my own fault for letting these people into my life. But sometimes you’re desperate just to have friends. Especially when you don’t have family.

    It hurts when the people we expect to support our endeavors shit all over them instead.

    Fuck what he said. You want a job in the field you know. You’ve done it before, you can get another one too. Use his shithouse attitude as your motivator, prove him wrong. You are intelligent and clever, capable. I believe in you!

    Have you looked into insurance attached to your super? Being on DSP means you’re almost certainly eligible for a TPD claim if you were covered when you last stopped work. Returning to work may void your potential to make a claim for TPD in future. Claiming TPD also does not mean that you aren’t allowed to return to work in future. AMA (anyone) this is something I know lots about

  I bought a humidifier a few years ago but never used it. Mainly because I was worried about the water settling on a nearby powerboats and causing problems, but I’ve found a nice place for it to live in my room not so close to electronics that I’m too worried. I didn’t know what to put into it so I just used a couple drops of lemon juice until I get some essential oils. Omg this is so nice. Nobody told me it was more like a vapour than steam. I just assumed it was a heating element that steamed a tank of water out a little hole in the top.

  I still am a little concerned about potential humidity issues and mould, but I might just run it for a couple of hours before bed to make a nice smelly atmosphere with some lavender or something

  I’m up late having tried (very unsuccessfully) to finish this giant bottle of sake given to me last week. I’ve packed all my gifts into bundles with food items separate. Now I’m hungry…

  Ahh… Today has sucked for Miss Molly Moocat. She got gross antibiotics for her uti. Then she didn’t want to drink her expensive shop bought broth… (Maybe because there’s turmeric and parsley in it, I don’t know. Maybe I might lash out on some meat next shop and stew some very plain stuff for her at home.) She also got her wiggies cleaned because she was growing potatoes in there. Plus a sensitivity to this antibiotic is going to give her at least one ear infection and they need to be clean for the medicated drops.

  I’m pretty pissed off myself. I’m pre-emptively tightening my belt for Winter and bracing for any more medical costs for either of us, and saw that this lady had been having a self righteous whinge about being “demonised” for owning multiple properties. My god, have a sook.

  …I wonder what quality of stew a landlord makes.

  For some reason last night I had a random bout of motivation and decided it was time for a yearly thorough clean in my bedroom. It’s not quite 11 months since I moved in, but I have the motivation now, so decided to get it over with. My desk was kinda gross underneath. I didn’t realise how much crap managed to fall under it (it’s a wheely one with the top desky part but then another desk layer thing at the bottom, so nothing underneath it is visible). It’s easy to move, but my computer and screens and such are on it, so moving it requires unplugging everything, hence why I haven’t done it before.

  The area around my desk also ended up caked in several layers of dust and grime and I don’t understand how it’s possible for it to be that dusty. It’s just the area near my desk. Even the areas in my room I’ve never wiped or moved aren’t that dusty. They have a thin layer of dust, sure, but the stuff next to my desk has like a decades worth of dust accumulated. The housemate was getting rid of an air purifier with a HEPA filter before he moved out and offered it to me, so that should help. Unfortunately, it seems to have been a one time aldi special buy thing from 2020 and nobody sells filters for them, so he said he just vacuums the filter out every few months. Hopefully it’ll do the trick though

  People on Facebook can be such hard work.

  I posted an answer to a question in a group along the lines of “I think “A” is probably right, but if it turns out to be “B” then this will be the outcome”.

  Got a reply from someone else: “wrong”.

  After multiple comments to prompt him to actually state what was wrong and to provide any sort of support for his statements (the best he could do was state “it’s obvious” that demonstrably untrue fact) I have gotten to a “well we just have different views” post. I give up. Why people feel the need to correct other’s opinions and confidently state things as fact when they don’t really know what they are talking about is beyond me.
