I stopped on the way home and got some Maccas for dinner, ordered chicken nuggets so they would be easy to eat while driving. I received chicken wings instead, which failed the easy to eat test but were very tasty. I’m not sure how the staff in those places can handle busy periods, it was absolute chaos in the kitchen there.

I also got some petrol - drove in the wrong side of the pump on autopilot, but remembered before I got out and did a loop around to the right side.

The pets are very glad I am home (and that they finally got dinner). I put away the frozen stuff I brought up, and Miss Meow took the opportunity to explore the garage and van a bit while I had the door open. I also put out the bins, the new pet fencing I put up worked well - I can reach the bins easily over the fence, and don’t have to worry about Mr Woof while I have the side gate open putting them out.

  Are wings more expensive than nuggets? If so that’s a win!
  
  How are miss meow and mr woof going at the new place?

Pretend you’re a teacher or a lecturer in a subject you’re passionate about, and someone says, “What’s the point in learning about this? It’s so boring and not useful!”

What would you say? Wrong answers only.

Just got home from work. EOFY sucks the big one. Kill me now. (after I’ve had this glass of wine that magically leapt out of the fridge and into my hand) Really should eat something. Later.

I like to play the same music when I do particular art or study. It puts me in the frame of mind I want.

I listen to Morricone when I do chinese calligraphy. Interstellar is going to be my new computer studies music.

How much bacon it took much bacon if adding to a bolognaise sauce that will contain chicken?

source
- PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago
  I reckon a small amount of bacon just to add a bit of depth to the flavour. I wouldn’t fry it too much beforehand, just a little. A chicken based Bol can be a bit meh (or some I’ve had were), so adding just a little bacon or something cured and strong tasting is a good choice. Maybe I’m just biased because I love the richness of beef.

Had a bit of a snack and a glass or two of water.

Feeling. A little bit better now.

Need to keep drinking water just incase I’ve got something to flush it out and I need plenty of rest.

Today I visited the centrelink office for the first time in 18 years. I walked in and froze. It’s changed so much and it’s quiet which was a contrast to the last time when some cunt was having a melt down, throwing chairs and punches and the cops were called.

My resignation has been officially announced, so now it’s real. My manager has checked if I’m still comfortable with the decision and it’s a resounding hell yes.

Now I just need to somehow stay awake after a lunch wrap that turned out way too greasy and heavy.

trying to eat a tuna sammich. The kittens are massing. They have taken the kitchen and the hallway. I have barred my office, but cannot hold them for long. The paws scritch at the wood…mews. mews in the hall. I cannot get out. I gobble mouthful after mouthful until my chest chokes with bread. A bell rings behind me…I cannot get out…They are coming.

And old boss messaged me with a link to a a position he’s advertising. Same salary as I am on 2 year contract vs 3 years that I’m on right now.

I’m not a huge fan of the new workplace, but cannot imagine working for him again. Top bloke, great for a chat and a beer, but absolutely shocking manager.

My message will be as follows ‘Thanks for thinking of me with this role, however I’m enjoying this new job and want to see how it pans out. Maybe in another year or so’.

    I got about 60% done before it was time to go and that involved regretfully relocating the cat about 10 times in half an hour. I wish I could tell her I love the attention, just not right now!
    
    I will try and finish the rest when I get back and then watch something on my laptop so she can nestle on me at length.

    It’s been two hours and I’ve only just started doing anything relevant. Meanwhile she is constantly headbonking my hands when I try to type. And curling herself up into a different but equally comfy position every 10 minutes. I walked into this…

Thankfully ol’ girl’s op went mainly well yesterday. Hopefully moving out of ICU back into the ward today or tm. Knew it was somewhat major surgery but not really ICU.

Probs going into care/rehab afterards for a bit which will piss her off. With any luck might be able to bring her in some proper soup in a week or 2.

So bit of a waiting game to see what recovery is like and go from there.

Recycling question.

Do youse guys remove packing tape from cardboard before putting the cardboard in the recycle bin?

I always do but it seems a lot of work.

I’m back at my old place today. It looks really tatty without the furniture hiding things. It’s amazing how dirty walls can get. Vacuuming is improving things slightly, but it really needs a good renovation (if it’s not knocked down entirely).

I’ve dismantled Miss Meow’s old cat tree, when the weather warms up I’ll use the pieces to make her an outdoor tree in the covered area.

Next main task is a quick cleanup of my nasty carpet stain. It was caused by a dented tin of plums fermenting and spraying juice everywhere. But it looks like a murder scene.

It's not blood, I promise!

Help! I am trying to write a job application for a secondment position and it’s like pulling teeth. Haven’t written to selection criteria for years so am very rusty, and the procrastination is kicking in. So far have called Medicare and done other life admin, and the vacuuming is looking tempting.

After a pretty busy work week things have settled down today. Managed to knock off my major tasks and it’s halfway through morning.

Hopefully people will forget about me and leave me alone for the rest of the week.
