This whole year sucked for me work wise. I had a stressful project at the start of the year. Then I was facing a redundancy, then I've been going through this for the past 9 weeks. It's been so stressful, I'm just glad it's over

We just went to the La Trobe market. You can't best a good old school market with the guy at the fruit and vegetable stall constantly shouting

This new band is coming along excitingly fast

A win at work I was quite proud of got derailed by a sudden request that blew out my while afternoon.

I'm writing my own documentation on Marketing Cloud because it feels like the sort of program you only learn to use by making every mistake first

It's the last week of the month. If you want to change jobs now is a great time to apply for roles coming up to 14 days old

The boys were fascinated by a remote control car last weekend so I think it's time for me to break out mine.

I hope they don't mind I don't have a truck. I'm a 'serious' remote control car enthusiast that goes for cars and buggies.

I'll take the kids on a other ride with the bicycle users group today if everything works out.

We went on one a few months ago and haven't made it since from a mix of the weather, being sick, and other plans.

They're a good group so I don't want to be one and done with them

I had a chat with a recruiter about a job at an interesting place yesterday. It's a tyre company she described as a 'christian' business. I know the brethren are a weird christianity offshoot and like to run their own businesses in safe industries.

A tyre place back home is owned by the brethren, so maybe it's the same deal with this place. I wouldn't work there, but I'd almost prefer the transparency of going to work at a place where you're expected to act proper around your weird bosses instead of the modern places insisting everyone be friends and not being sure where the boundaries are.

One of the boys learnt how to say 'more'. Not just the word but the meaning as well. We've also been teaching the boys a bit of sign language because apparently kids can pick up on it quicker and it's good to know anyway.

In reality, signing 'more' allows him to ask for more food whilst his mouth is already full

Time for another play through and a different ending

Went into the city yesterday and went to the State Library. I thought I'd finally be able to make an appearance at one of the pro Palestine demonstrations but it was some weird anti CCP group out the front yesterday

That's the way to do it. I just apply and move on, it probably looks bad when I do get a call because I can't remember the place or the position because it was all so long ago in jobseeker time
