I still struggle with missing out on that cattery position.
Despite knowing it will just take time and perseverance, I canât help but feel like I missed out on my only opportunity. That something is going to happen this year that will make my dreams impossible instead of merely difficult.
Iâm absolutely terrified of getting stuck in call centres again, I actually get a lump in my throat.
I suppose I should end this post with hope, so, uh⊠Iâm sure it will work out in the end? đ đ
You very definitely didnât miss out on the only opportunity, although I know it can feel like that at the time. When Iâm having those type of thoughts I remind myself that I didnât know about the thing until I knew about it, so therefore I donât know what great things may come along in the future, that I donât know about yet (if that makes sense?).
I also did the call centre thing in the past for way too many years, so I get where youâre coming from with that. Was a necessary means to an end at the time (needed $). I did further study and got out of there, and now have a much better job in a different field. Just keep chipping away and Iâm sure youâll get there, too. You got this!!
Itâs easy to tell yourself the âlogicâ of the situation, but to actually believe it is another thing.
I canât guarantee itâs going to work out for you, but seeing some semblance of your character on here indicates that youâve got a good chance!
Have you looked at Kookaburra Vets? I just randomly googled and it seems like quite a few entry level vet nurses are posting ads on there for work. Youâre not alone in the hunt for a job!
I agree, Stud shows determination, persistence and intelligence. All good qualities that help with success. đShe is also gifted with the support of her SO, the value of which cannot be underestimated. đ
It feels like a big deal to miss out but something else will come along. If another job comes up at the cattery you should put in for it, no matter what it is. That will show them how keen you are to work there
It is a shame, there are catteries that really could use someone like you. Keep your head up đŸ
Luxury!
Nom
Yum
delicious
Boyo doing my head in. If you want resume advice, listen! Yes, I donât know your industry. I do know inconsistent formatting and incoherent phrasing. Do not claim attention to detail when you have misspelt the word references.
Am I⊠gregference
:(
Itâs a stressful activity, yes it sucks, yes the auto bot filters are evil, and⊠I canât change that for you. đ€Ż
This is where having someone read your work can be very very helpful.
And I think asking for and accepting help is something most people undervalue, we have this idea fed to us at school that we must do it all alone and off the cuff.
But thatâs not how successful people succeed irl.
Oh gosh
YeahâŠ
Order: up and actually feeling good -> wash hair -> coffee -> go see fam before they leave -> ohh shortbread -> log shortbread in new calorie app -> regret -> food shopping -> ooh prawns -> salad and prawns for lunch for last day of hols-> cricket and food prep -> donât think about work tomorrowâŠ
That looks like something served in a cafe đđ„
This is something Iâve never had in my life but would be interested in trying!
Yum!
delicious

Birdbath clean and full âïž
Birds â
Tear drops falling on the dancefloor in the birdbath đ” đ”
The order:
Regret -> clean bird bath -> notice no birds use it except for a pigeon-> regret -> clean gutters -> realise thereâs no rain coming -> scratch head and have an existential crisis -> bribe resident magpie which is basically the mafia at this point.
On the plus side the work is already done when you get sudden rain the next time. And the magpie has a private pool
Iâve had a bit of birdbath tribulation as well. When I put it out the back for the first time it wasnât long before the damn myna birds took it over and started bossing away all the birds I wanted to attract đSo I put it around the side of the house and now I never see birds there because itâs too close to our door. The bees get a drink though.
Well that was an depressing look at the news this morning. Tv off and plan for the day is shower then some housework. Local magpie pair turned up so they got a bit of left over roast pork for their breakfast. They then sang a lovely song.
Less news; more magpies might be my 2026 mottoâŠ
I havenât watched or read the news since dickhead took office last Jan.
Could say head in the sand, but I donât feel stressed 24/7 anymore.
Miss Seagoon is making dinner, chicken in sauce with pasta đ
Is the magpie refusing to let them on her turf?
Nor mice in my multiple mice traps
wait for the hot day đ
Did you put out any sort of advertising? Social media posts, flyersâŠ
Exactly. Whatâs the marketing budget exactly?
Last day of break, rushing around to tick off a few final holiday tasks. Every year I always do less than I expect to, but I need relax time as well.
Also feeling very anxious about the new work year. Itâs been building the past few days. Probably shouldnât have looked at my inbox, new tasks are already waiting for me. I want a chill January.
The purging resumes. (Cleaning out spare room).
Yep I hear you. I pretty much just unpacked properly after living here for 3 years.
Itâs nicer now.
Me: come on bro, Iâm not in the mood today just leave me alone.
The fly: fuck you lol
Geopolitics asideâŠ
Local fish and chip place has upped their potato cake to $2.50 from $2. Criminal.
I have been through the Westgate tunnel. Not many cars going through.
I bought one of those fly salt guns for myself as a Christmas present. I was able to save about $30 by getting off aliexpress and could get it in a cool red and blue spiderman colour scheme.
So far the confirmed kill count is 4
I just went to get a small pack of Zooper Doopers. Forgot something though. Disposable container.
I should have bought some aluminium roasting pans because the one wildlife water dispenser that hasnât been stolen or yeeted probably wonât meet demand. I planned to freeze big chunks of ice to weigh down the light disposable container/s (it would have to be something I didnât value), keep them cool, and slowly replenish water as it got drunk down. As well as something to help any smaller animals get back out so they donât drown. But it would either have to be placed behind a fence limiting which animals could access it, or be left out where braindead dickheads can pour the water out or take the whole thing. I have the perfect spot for a birdbath but it would only be stolen or used to smash stuffâŠ
Order: sleep late > ooh, apricots! > coffee > should get out and plant some seedlings before it gets too hot > ooh, apricots! > more coffee > whatâs the weather like now for planting those seedlings? > walk the dog > ooh, apricots! should make jam. and still need to plant those seedlings, wonder if I can find that sprinkler in the garage? > more cofee > ooh, apricots! I havenât had breakfast, oops too late now. Should really have lunch. Can I make something with apricots? Maybe I should plant those seedlings first? Or should I start on the jam so thatâs out of the way? Maybe they should all be later once it cools down. Oh, I need to do labels for those jars of apricots too, and I havenât put the doona in the wash yetâŠ
Disorder. Iâll do stuff when I feel like it. Planning = Chaos
Ok, it looks like a heatwave is coming this week from Tuesday to Friday?
Different sources especially put Wednesday at 38-40C and Friday at 35C. Is that what you guys are seeing? BOM site doesnât seem to work properly on my phone to check reliably but be warned I guess.
Zdravo everyone
Darn it. Last night had an itchy throat, and today developed a runny nose, headache, and fatigue. Guess Iâm spending the heatwave hugging a box of tissues.
A family friend has made us try the M&S gold tea. We now have a box of 80.
Melbcat is uncomfortable today so I gave the afternoon meds a tiny bit early :(
I wiped down the stove and am thawing meat to make that broth for her. Maybe that will help. She doesnât like ice in her water but maybe cool yummy broth will get her through this week too.
Dear HiveMind. Where did my Terrabyte end up after the house move???
I went to a park today and I saw a dad with his playing a game with his kids on the playground and doing some great acting. It was really lovely to see, and I hope if I ever have kids, I find someone who is like this.
I hope my aircon is working⊠it performed really poorly last week.
Fortunately I still have my portable evaporative cooler from before I had that, so a backup option is available.
Order: eventually rise - fit top on server rack - fit wheels - tack side templates - cut out windows - royte to clean - take off templates - rack upstairs and start loading
Iâm wrecked and the energy is still draining out of me like a faulty battery⊠Overdid it. But the back/storage room I sorted the other day looks so empty and clean. Even broomed the carpet to remove cat hair before vacuuming. When Iâve rested up Iâll go through stuff again and continue to get rid of whatever. Iâm deciding whether to sell off some of my equipment/projects. They were a good idea but really theyâre taking up space if not being used and donât think I can do it anymore.
Melbcat is unlikely to get rid of her infection. The specialist vet doesnât think it adds risk and will let the surgeons know the deal. If they donât want to go ahead Iâll try to get her in on the medical side at the same place so they can try managing it.
good night everyone
sleep well and sweet dreams đ
