Gibson day 2
Her fivehead πππ
Got an interview tomorrow lol
Perfect timing.
Definitely a good idea to keep the momentum going after today's news!
100% Spoke to a few people today. Everyone i spoke to feels the same. They're actively on seek on their phones at work lol
These are management people.
It appears I have a cold on my last day here. π The good news is my fam will look after me real well. π
Cheers guys πΊ
Cheers :)
CHEEEEEEEEEEEERS!!! π»π₯π»π₯π» (extra loud cos it has to cross the sea)
Cheers
This is it. One more day between me and holiday (except for whatever little bits I will inevitably need to finish off in the morning.
Yyyeeeeaaaah...
So. This morning we find out that the awesome manager will no longer be leading our team.
As I mentioned a bit earlier today, she's the main reason I've stuck it out.
Let's see where the new year will lead. Probably out of this place.
Oh noes ... Came home a bit early so I could regroup and finish off the years tasks quietly. 20 min nap on couch became 2 hour DEEEP sleep with random nightmares and now my neck is cricked and I am discombobulated.
Yep. That was 2024 in a nutshell
add in being disabled by sciatica for months and that's my year too
( but been an amazing year for personal emotional growth and I'm so lucky to have mr seagooon π₯Ή )
Naw. Here's to Mr Seagoon. πΊ

Ted looking cute again, this time sprawled on the two ikea storage tables π
Flexing hydrangeas.
I love hydrangeas β€οΈ I have a few, but none the size of dinner plates like yours!
Have you ever seen a more majestic breakfast?
240g steak, 1 avocado, one smallish zucchini, 200g mushroom, two runny yolk eggs. Butter, salt, pepper. And now I won't eat until tomorrow! I also won't get hungry til then either
spoiler
Ted is so happy sleeping on the terrace among the vegie planters
Staffy got stuck last night. No idea how she managed this one, sheβs never put the blanket over her head before.
Yeah nah. Still made in Australia. Cheeky buggers.
Well I guess we DO have a history of claiming New Zealanders as our own, so it's only fair =)
I just had to rescue a frog. In my bedroom. 3 very interested cats, and one squeaky little frog who is now outside. Who needs sleep?
Fell asleep splayed out on the bed no blankets and in the middle of the night woke up shivering cold. Good times.
IT outage at the hospital, waited 2+ hungry and uncaffeinated hours for my scopes to be cancelled. π I'm declaring today Taco Overload Tuesday to celebrate.
Turns out I took 1 more week of leave than I thought. 3 weeks here we come!
I'm progressing to the next stage with this job. I don't know if it's what I want to do but if I got an offer I feel like I shouldn't knock it back. I just don't want to end up in a similar situation where I'm out in a year's time because it didn't work out
The cat is mad at me because there's cream in the fridge and it's not all in his belly (just some). He's given up yelling at the fridge and is now glaring at me, and occasionally mixing it up with looking very sad and lean.
The neglect is palpable.
πββοΈ shameful
Who's an idiot who thought it'd be overcast and left their bedroom blinds partly open and window wide open. No prizes for guessing.
I am being taught over and over again THOU SHALT ALWAYS LEAVE THE BLINDS DOWN AND WINDOWS CLOSED before leaving for work. No exemptions. Boiling.
Met up with some old colleagues which was nice - kind of really tied a neat bow on that chapter, one year on - now to catch up on 2.5 hrs of work and call it a day.
I regret getting in contact with my Aunty to settle things.
She tells people that Iβm the nice one Iβm the family but I just choose not to get into conflicts.
She texts me this.
βI havenβt got any replies to my emails. You better tell your cousins to hurry up to have settlement by blah blah dateβ
Dunno if Iβm reading into too much but it does t sound very nice and feels like sheβs pressuring me to rush them.
leaves windows open overnight
wakes up to bright flash of light
loud crackle
rain comes
close windows
time for more sleep π₯±
Shout out to Australians for making good music (King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard, Flume, and more).
Dinner out, first time in ages. Little Mexico in Berwick. Nice enough, kinda lacking in spice levels but that's probably more on me.
Moving ramblings (kinda want a whinge, feel free to swipe past)
To be honest I can't be bothered and don't have the energy to pack. Emotional energy mainly. I've got so much to do, and my childish mind just keeps reverting to "TO HARD. HIDE UNDER PILLOW TIL IT GOES AWAY", which I'll admit is beneficial in the short term, but I am moving TO.MOR.ROW and have only taken over 2 boxes and a bag of loose stuff
I don't have to return the keys until Friday, but I don't have a way to get back on Thursday or Friday besides the bus, so catching 3 buses or a bus and 2 trains just isn't practical with boxes and bags. I'm pretty sure only a small removalist van was booked (I didn't organise it), so while they probably can take a couple of boxes, the rest of my stuff will just have to make do with a few car trips
Considering I'm going to be moving again sometime between late next year and the end of 2026, it's looking kind of tempting to donate half my shit to the salvos and live like a nomad by necessity. But having done that, I do know that it's a depressing way of living, and you just amass new shit to fill the space anyway
So today i mostly worked like a dog. My boss admitted to faffing a little too much today and didnβt as much done as she should have.
Hopefully this earns me a couple of early work finishes though tomorrow I have a work function at the end, I really hate that keeping us at work later to do these functions.
What sort of buffoon tries to sell a house with neither stove nor oven? Wonder what other surprises lurk in this one?
