  last nights’ go at the SMC

  Image

  Didn’t realise the dew was gonna be so bad so only used 12 x 5mins exposures instead of the 24 I took. Shit happens. Will probably end up using only 4 and will have to take another bunch another night. Good to see the equipment still works though.

  It took a bit of time for our lady to settle in this time as she’s been away for a year and hates the carrier - bit of hissing and swiping at her human before he left - but nothing a bit of churu knockoff can’t do to lift a kitty’s mood.

  First point of order was bathroom, followed by a general investigation, then of course food (while I was rushing around tidying up and making my own dinner) - guaranteed cutest meows whenever food is involved - but I forgot then that I have to keep her out of my room if I open my closet, because she loves hiding in it and refusing to come out and there was more swiping and angry huffs as I tried to coax her out.

  She’s pretty settled now though, headbutts and trills and all, and keeps coming back to sit on/near my socks, so I feel rather honoured 😌

      She has definitely become sassier this time around, thought I’d put treats in one of her toys but it was just normal dry food and she went from super excited to instantly cold and uninterested and even hissed at me later when my leg inadvertantly brushed against her… but then she followed me into the bedroom and has been going in and out and I later heard her merrily crunching on the dry food. and she randomly mrrps at me and probably wants to play but It Is Sleepytime Now. Tomorrow I shall try and wear out some of her energy after work.

      Her tail is so gorgeous too. Medium-haired cats are the best. Not too long to need frequent grooming, but that much more luxurious than a short-haired kitty

  Second interview went… okay. I definitely fumbled some questions and repeated myself a lot. But the interview ended with talk of what’s next, etc, so at least it wasn’t a “okay, thanks for coming in, see you around” sort of end. Fingers crossed for a call either way quickly.

  source

  • Force_majeure123@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’m sure you did fine, everyone gets nervous and fumbles a bit in interviews, it’s to be expected and is fine. End of interview is promising!

    source

    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s true - I consciously remembered that it’s okay to pause and think about responses instead of just blurting things out, so I’m proud of myself for that.

  • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It sounds like you did well, try not to stress too much on repeating yourself :)

    The worst case is actually still a best case scenario - consider this a practice interview and write some notes about how you wish to articulate yourself next time. I found it helps to write what I did well, and what I did not do so well. And looking up common interview questions and writing answers in the STAR format helps with memory retention too when you’re put on the spot in an interview.

    I’m sure you did great! Fingers crossed for you!!

  Got a bit shitty at work over being lectured about fucking image formatting (fuck Word, seriously) but got over it thoroughly by (a) having walked to work and back - big tick, (b) absolutely SMASHING through the backlog, and © clocking off on the dot - because I have much more important things to attend to very shortly! Everyone else can fuck off!

  Also managed to survive nearly getting collected by some fuckwit speeding through Kew Junction after the cars finished turning, a good 20 seconds after the lights had changed and I was halfway across the pedestrian crossing. People do be getting stuck in dumb situations there. No death for me today, though - thanks, but nothing will get in the way of hosting my VIP guest!

  Got home in time to do some last minute gardening (now). How good is it having the sun still up when I get home. Home - which has been nicely aired through all windows during the day. It’s a great feeling.

  Whilst I prefer the red trike as it’s pretty stable with a lot of weight at the back, it is currently out of commission so the new shopping goon and snack mobile (for now) is the unicorn basket bike:

  some pics of my old sewing machine after spending many hours refinishing the woodwork. It was so bad, it had huge patches where there no finish at all and much lifting and bubbling of veneer. It’s still really beat up. I haven’t waxed it yet which should help filling holes. Later today I’ll be having a go at using a tough wire brush on that base, the softer brush did nuttin’.

      I believe (I think) they’re flatweed/catsear, fleabane and buffalo grass. The reason I’m doing it manually is the old man will rock up and put a shitload of dicamba / glyphosate on which I can’t get behind.

  CW: mother

  A dark thought creeps
  Across my mind
  Strange tendrils seep
  Across my waking hours,
  Where previously they were confined
  To the cold and late hours.
  This thought brings no warmth
  With it’s freezing touch.
  My heart quickens, beating faster.
  I roll it around
  And savour it too much,
  A bitter morbid desire:
  That perhaps it would be easier on me
  If you had died all those years ago,
  I could have taken this time to grieve,
  And I wouldn’t hold on to so much hope
  That you’d return to me
  With your laughter
  Ringing in my ears.
  But now your just another zombie
  In the shape of my mother…
  But I have no other…
  So I hope you’re doing well,
  Wherever you now dwell,
  That you don’t see a demon in me,
  When you look at photos of your baby.
  I hope my cousin is a better daughter
  Than I could ever be.

  Out and about today.

  Had to travel to Keysborough to pick up something then finally I’m back at at Southland treating myself out to a coffee and chilling at a cafe inside.

  Have to do a lot of food shopping and was thinking of maybe picking up some spare clothes since the buttons on all my of sleep shirts seems to have all popped off.

  Thankfully it’s a bit quieter here today compared to last week.

  Hope it’s a fairly painless process today.

  Bummer

  Feeling stressed out. The issue of this homeless guy isn’t solved - the services won’t help or come when he’s there, he refuses help, police don’t care because it’s ’public property’ or if they do he just walks away from a welfare check… He’s raging and throwing lit cigarettes in an area of dried vegetation and wooden fences near houses. Really mentally unwell with violent outbursts and has aggressively harassed me before. And is now regularly drinking on the bench right outside the window of the room where I sleep - sometimes sleeping there. He doesn’t want help, has possibly already been kicked out of a nearby halfway house for abusing others, and I’m afraid he’s going to start a fire or might attack me. It goes against my morals but If I can’t do anything about this situation I’m probably going to have to start thinking of ways to repel him :(
