    I’m actually keen for an early night. Hang out with fluffball and read for a while.

    Goodnight all ❤️

    Edit: I will not be working hard. I have learned my lesson. I will be enthusiastic and do slightly more then expected. There is no meritocracy in corporate.

    Working hard is a terrible idea that leads to burn out and disappointment.

    The only way to make more money most of the time is to leave and go elsewhere.

    Had a nap after my whinge (thank you for your kind words 💜💜), then went to Savers and got two shirts for partner’s new job, and two pairs of jeans for myself for under $50 in total.

    Then got a massive haul of groceries from Aldi. I transferred $120 to my paying card but it only cost ~$50 all up for all of it. Stuck in the expensive Colesworth mind lol

    Edit: oh and I applied for a few shelters as a volunteer, hopefully I can get a place at one of them as it’s a requirement to have placement for the Cert IV in Vet Nursing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    For me, just over three hours left of lentish. I may have some intoxicated morning rants hitting around eleven am tomorrow. Be forewarned.

    Edit: of the various vices I gave up over the last few weeks/months I think getting off reddit had the biggest impact, I’m looking to keep that up. Feels like it brings more negativity to my life than any traditional intoxicant.

    Assignments due in 10, 14, 16, 20 and 21 days. I will not procrastinate anymore. I feel like I’ve almost left the 10 days one too late. Time to break down each into steps and give meself some faux deadlines. I can do this.

    So, Peter Khalil dropped in today.

    I went to the door expecting to have to shoo away a salesperson, and was so surprised that I couldn’t think of any good questions to ask at the time. I did say I wouldn’t be voting for Peter Dutton, though

      On paper, Wills is a blue-ribbon Labor seat - Bob Hawke’s old seat.
      But a third of voters there went Green in 2022. He should be getting out and meeting people/listening to them. They can’t take this seat for granted any more.

    The change of seasons has well and truly finally hit. Feeling a bit of a cold-ish headache from not adjusting to the temp difference properly and returning to a whole day of desktop work after ages… Gonna buy some soup, chug hot herbal tea, and have an early night. This will be my last long work week before I throw myself at uni hardcore.

      Oh dear. I hope it was not too full.

      This possibly happened to maintain the balance of jam jar karma within the DT, as I had the good fortune to pick up a good (empty) jam jar from the food cupboard this morning, The universe added to my jam jar collection and took from yours.

        This does not account for the jam, or the karmic effect incurred in cleaning up the mess. Which is a very high value as sticky jam plus glass splinters is major. Jam by itself - wipe it up. Glass by itself - sweep/vac & blutack. Both, however, is an existential crisis as the mess can neither be wiped nor swept. Even rubber gloves are not safe from the splinters. And don’t even mention the vacuum cleaner.

        On the other hand, underwater magpies has incurred a major karmic benefit in cleaning it up. This far outweighs the serendipitous collection of a clean empty jar. I wonder how the universe will balance the scales.

          May the whole DT find a really nice empty jam jar today. For this jar was unopened and full of quite nice strawberry jam.

          I’ll have to do a second round of cleaning later, just in case. I’m not convinced I’ve got it all.

          How would you safely handle cleaning that up?

          Maybe by picking up the largest pieces, scraping the jam up with an old credit card, and then mopping for the stickiness and tiniest shards?

            I went with picking up the biggest bits, then using a couple of containers from the recycling to scoop the worst of it. Then a few layers of paper towel and a gentle action on the worst bit, swept around the least jammy bits, and mopped. I’ll go back and vaccuum presently.

            I don’t recommend giving it a go.

    I want to work, and yet no one gets back to me after my last round of applications.

    I need a freakin job so I can afford driving lessons so I can actually get a job as an animal attendant. Oh, but I need a minimum of 2 years experience to do basic sandwich making or retail ffs.

    I’m almost at the point of selling my soul back to call centre work, but thought of doing that again is making me fucking sick - tied to a desk and phone, unable to leave it, power-tripping team leaders and abusive, masturbating customers. UGH! I don’t think my mental health could take it.
