    I didn’t get the job, but it’s okay :) I’ll just keep studying and applying.

      It’s learning experience. You’ll get the one you want when you want it.

      Sucks now, but opens up more opportunities.

    MissGod has completed the work experience week at the police station and courthouse. None of it super exciting but has made quite a few acquaintances with the local constabulary.

      That’s probably the single most useful thing anyone can do on work experience. That is, learning that cops are people too (off duty). Police stations and courthouses is where the rubber meets the road in terms of peopleology too.

        Normally I get a gentle paw touch to the face, followed by sitting on me and purring loudly into my ear. Not sure why a claw came out today but I was not impressed.

      You are a kind soul. Any luck finding a rescue organisation that could rehome them? The 11 could turn into 50 very quickly if the cats are not desexed. Cats can become pregnant very young.

        Only 1 bothered to respond to my query. They said to try again in 2 weeks.

        Another responded and said call the council.

        No way. They’ll euthanise them. Better they stay strays than that.

        I don’t know what to do except keep feeding them. I can’t take in any more cats. I’ll be leaving here in 6 months and I’m worried what will happen then.

    Bit rough out there.

    So jumping in soon for the sunset swim. I believe this might be the arse end of the weather system / swell that hit the east coast a few days ago. Sometimes goes over that wall but like that not often.

        Yea with this controller you can. Can also get it to talk to a weather station and the BoM. But sometimes you have to take a step back and think hrmm… ‘will I fuck that up’ and for me the answer is ‘most likely’.

    TW pain, periods

    Physical pain is taking over my life. I’m spending nearly every day running out the hot water in the shower to the point of mildly scalding myself and stacking paracetamol with ibuprofen just to try and get some relief.

    I’m starting to strongly suspect endometriosis or adenomyosis on top of everything else because I’m in agony weeks before my period even starts. Also two of my sisters are diagnosed now
