    Recruiter couldn’t get hold of one of my references, so I messaged him and he’s calling her back.

    One reference check is done and went really well. Thank you to the unnamed user that stuck their neck out for me ❤️

    I was freaking out about nothing. So on edge waiting to start my job. Keep expecting something to go wrong.

    Everything is fine.

    Sometimes I wonder if the cat sees me as more than a food dispenser.

    I’ve been sick in bed all day pretty much, and she’s sitting beside me. When I fell asleep and woke up suddenly she was all alert, checking to see if I was OK.

    Right now, the heater is on in the lounge room. She has a favourite spot she sits in (on top of her TP nest).

    But she’s sitting in the cold bedroom with me instead.

    Good old fluffy butt.

      They know. I have one love bug, one standoffish queen and a sometimes spicy sausage. During the day its usually hands off the two girls, but they take turns to sleep with me at night.

    IRL cakeday.

    Getting to work was crazy today - I somehow hit the link on my work app for the second client instead of the first, and only discovered the mistake when I was almost there - partly because a friend phoned to wish me happy birthday and proceeded to grizzle about how she’d lost something she’d bought yesterday at her local shopping centre. So has to phone the office and tell them to tell the client I’d be late. At least, given their recent track record, they were… reasonable.

    Both clients treated me very well - part of the reason I agreed to work today - and the (other) papou gave me four frozen meals from Greek meals on wheels that his wife hadn’t liked, so score. But I think next year I’ll take the day off.

    Anyway I got the notification that my click and collect from Kmart was ready so I went to pick it up and of course was behind someone who was having trouble with his order and had to return half the store. Finally got out of there and got a bahn mi and some cakey things from my favourite local bakery, as well as a bottle of pear cider.

    Now relaxing with the cats after a shower, and planning on ordering whatever looks appealing from Menulog.

      Times like this I am so very thankful I do not watch TV. I don’t even know where the aerial cable is in my apartment, and the TV is currently unplugged in the spare room lol. If I want to watch something I use a streaming service (like taskmaster on channel 9 or whatever it is, not Netflix), or if I want news I go to the Guardian or ABC. That way I can pick what I want to know about.

      Trump is a fuckwit.

      Got into an argument with a mate the other day where I said he deserved to be shot. My mate was incredulous about how serious a claim that was, but what’s trumps death toll do you reckon? Thousands? Hundreds of thousands? To say nothing of the people he swindled.

      Is it still “chucking” a sickie if you’re genuinely sick? I’d just call it being responsible and looking after yourself and your colleagues.

      Feel better soon!

        Yeah, it isn’t really chucked tbh. This is a legit one! I would’ve had to go interact with the public for work today as well and no way I was doing that while sick. I probably could wfh if I pushed myself but… it’s only Tuesday.

        I think this job requires me to get a !@#$ing med cert to take sick leave though so I think I have to go and sort that out… I’ll have to go and check if a stat dec can be used instead.

          At worst use instant scripts for 1 day if you really need medical cert. it costs 19 dollars to get one but that’s a so much cheaper than going to a doctor with no bulk billing if you only need it for one day.
