Got rejected from a niche job that exactly matches my skills and experience after what I thought was a strong interview. Now spiralling and wondering whether I am in fact unemployable. Which I know is over the top. But what do I have to do dammit??? I really thought this one might stick.

And no power. At least the house is still fairly cool.

Update: the power's back but the cooling is on strike. Which could be fun.

I watched a bit of the Bellarine road race on tv and that was quite enough cycling for me. Definitely have all the icy poles!

Yet another evacuation in the Grampians. They're having a thoroughly shit run. Hopefully they can get it all under control.

Oof. I hope a cold drink was involved.

By all means drink all the alcohol, if you fancy. But please drink plenty of water too, or soft drink or whatever. It's so easy to dehydrate im this weather, and alcohol makes it easier.

Well that sounds super fancy!

Stop what you're doing, it's time for an icy pole. And a drink of something non-alcoholic. Even if you just finished an icy pole, have another one please. Or an ice cream.

Keep up that hydration. 💧🍦🧊🧃

Me too, and I was only just recovering from the last five-day effort. It's the stormy weather triggering me today I reckon.

I'm really not far north of the city, closest to the Viewbank weather station. It's usually a couple of degrees warmer here but right now it's 11 degrees hotter than the CBD. It's 37C.

How??
