    Interview 1 went well!!! Really well.

    Person interviewing said I’ll most likely be coming in to meet the CFO!

    Next one at 1:30pm. Let’s see how it all plays out.

        Thankfully no lol

        Internal IT with an org that has an existing relationship with an MSP.

        Sounds pretty decent from the interview so far. Downside is office attendance for the first few months.

        Salary makes it worthwhile.

          Oh that’d be nice (the internal IT not the office attendance). Though office attendance to start hopefully shows that team and culture is important to them and they want you to really embed well. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

      I believe doing time somewhere in retail or hospitality should be a prerequisite to adulthood. People who are or have been retail workers make far more reasonable customers. Society would do better if customers knew and understood what it was like to deal with customers.

    The calico bosses the other cats around. She has to eat from the bowl they’re eating from even if she has her own lol

    So I ended up getting an offer from a multinational. I’m not getting too excited in case the police check fucks me up.

    We’ll wait and see what happens. In the least I have leverage with my current employer.

    last night I

    -Went to bed early

    -Put clean sheets on the bed

    -Took a melatonin

    -Had a warm shower

    -trashed the freshly made bed with the mrs

    -drank a chamomile tea

    -read for a bit

    Still got woken up at 2 by the toddler who isnt well, and still took me a while to fall asleep in the first place, but I only woke up 2 times throughout the night and didnt stay awake for hours after each wake up, so I’d could that a win!

        I’m cleaning pigeon guano off solar panels and gutters tomorrow morning on the 2-storey roof. I don’t want to fall off.

        Hopefully Sunday will be in solar-powered, air-conditioned comfort tomorrow at home, rather than solar-powered air-conditioned comfort of the local Trauma ward.

    Wisdom teeth? Gone.

    Face? Swelled up.

    Fridge? Full of jelly and custard.

    Hotel? Trivago.

    The surgeon said my teeth were growing sideways, so I guess I did need them out after all.

      Wow.

      Some of the best cannoli I’ve had were in Reservoir (not sure what the place was called) and Floriana Cakes in Oakleigh ish. They have the chocolate in them. Also Brunetti of course. I’m yet to try any down west, but have heard there are good ones around Footscray.

        Can confirm Reservoir used to be a hub for cannoli - opposite the new council library there’s still a couple of places … Mind you, it’s been a while since I went up there but the cake shops and the good butcher were legit.

    Walking Miniest to school and she noticed a Tesla and said “there’s a carzi” (rhymes with nazi). I usually call them swasticars. I asked her if she thought of that one herself, and she said she was trying to think of the word I always said but couldn’t think of it so she said that one instead 😂🤣

        Losing a tooth gives you money. Knowing exactly where the tooth is and wanting it to be forcibly evicted is the expensive bit.
