Sad day today. My favourite pair of house/pj pants have come to a end. They're threadbare, the elastic has gone and now there's a hole where my crackhole is. We've had some good times, shared a lot of beer but it's time to let go of the 3/4 length polka dot favourites. 😔
Someone got let go from work yesterday just for doing a half ass job and continually costing money to fix, only for it surface that he’d been let go from a previous job due to something pretty heinous (not, like, THAT, but still bad!!) that it’s probably for the best that it didn’t come to light until because now there’s quite the ick. The two situations had zero correlation, someone else just googled their name because something didn’t add up and wow.
You never know people.
Toshiba messaged me yesterday saying they have another role they might fit me into. Meeting at 3pm.
Let's see what happens.
Toshiba? I haven't heard of them in years.... What do they do these days tech wise?
Toshiba is going to make an offer. Not too excited because of the police check, but still. It's a good sign that I'm interviewing ok!
Speaking of:
I had a phone call with a possible job this morning. I want you to picture every total fuckwit, arrogant and insecure IT person and this guy was it. Patronising as well.
He was hired 6 months ago and fired everyone and brought in his "own team". That is never, ever a good sign.
And i don't want to stereotype, but he kept talking about Linux 🤣
I said I appreciate it but I don't think we'd work well together lol
I have opened up every window and door in my apartment. Let it rain
I'm pretty tired still.
sunrise very pretty
Awake tax (besides feeling tired)
These were taken ten minutes apart.
First drops of rain! Great big ones! I was wrong in my estimate of when it would start.
EDIT: now it's stopped
Dear fungus gnats: could you please go back to where you came from and get stuck on the traps instead of hovering around my monitor and face
P-plater lost control, jumped the curb and smashed into the local fitness park this morning....no one was hurt, driver and passengers shook but ok. I've stood on that corner with my intrusive thoughts wondering if I could get out of the way in time if I saw that happening...bloody hell
Trimmed claws mean open windows! Yay!!!!
I don't think I've had an actual date on valentines day for at least 6 or so years.
Goodnight all ❤️
Garden
I picked the ripe cherry toms for a friend. A single one had split from variation in water levels which isn’t too bad considering the size and quality of the pots and the number of times they wilted.
I nicked a few accidentally with the thread clippers I was using to cut them. And I cut off a sprig of large red ones only to see a whole spray of tiny budding green ones at the end of it. Well, those will never ripen now.
I piled them all into a washed recyclable container and they’re so heavy for their size.
There are more green ones coming.
The zucchini still have mildew and are looking sad but new leaves and fruit are struggling up.
I feel kind of disappointed because the plants I have aren’t yielding anywhere near enough to help supply a food pantry.
Got about 2 drops :(
BoM only forecasted 1mm for down here so can't get too upset.
Sky pretty
