    This mornings meeting with the old manager and new manager was glorious lol

    They absolutely detest each other and watching them try to snipe each other politely is comedy gold lol

    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. 😔

      It’s a grief when a favorite garment finally gives up the ghost. Also applies to shoes. I will weep when my favorite dagging-around-at-home sandals finally cark it.

            Yeah. Problem is I need to kind of live with something and wear it around to evaluate comfiness. As sometimes a quick try on isn’t enough. Then when I go back it’s gone or changed for the worse

    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 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

      The coffee machine at my regular cafe was broken this morning. So I had to do the unthinkable and go to another cafe.

      The coffee was better and 40c cheaper. Furthermore, the lass serving at the alternate place used to work at my regular one. It’s been surreal.

      … I may need to shift my cafe allegiance.
