    Quick update on the Christmas saga. Mrs B spoke to my mother in law who was like “Of course we dont have to go to the extended family thing if you dont want to”. And Mrs B now sees the light of how dumber idea it was in the first place. More than a little annoyed that it speaking to her mum rather than listening to her husband to see that, but whatever. Saves a fight, 1k and promises to be a more chill Christmas.

    Working on my resume and thinking maybe I can just live in a cardboard box.

    e: and by writing a resume I mean convincing the Applicant Tracking System into passing my resume onto an actual human.

      I heard a trick about putting the ENTIRE job description in there invisibly

    I don’t normally have beetroot in the house because I don’t really like it but for a change I thought I’d dish it up. Comments were: don’t really like it and it tastes like dirt. It’s a no from everyone.

      Understood. If you have a household of beetroot refusers, then currying the beetroot can work. Mildish curry paste, and use orange juice as the cooking liquid. The tang tends to defuse that musky taste. Which I love but I can see why people don’t. Pickled in a burger - well that hits the tang factor too.

    If you want to hate musicians, go to any music technology site and read the comments.

    Yuck.

    I have successfully convinced my daughter to move back to Melbourne.

    And what sold her on it was Slurpees. I was telling her how good they are and now she wants to move back.

    The Alfred is a tired old hospital in parts isn’t it. Feels even disrespectful to the staff that they work next to landlord special paint jobs, dingy fluorescent lighting, mismatched chairs, etc.

        One thing haunted hospitals in games or movies don’t do is the smell. That vile old bleach that goes with the weird green paint. Shudder

    Lots of tears flowing here at work today.

    Thankfully not mine but it’s going to be a long day today.

    I hate Mondays.

    Ok on some wise advice I have kept only the 4 plants I already potted up, and put the rest of the little Audrey II’s at a visible spot where people often leave hard rubbish.

    Feels like abandoning them :( Maybe I should swing by occasionally over the next days with a water bottle and see if they’ve all been taken. I hope they don’t just get trashed

    Back from one week holiday. Really enjoyed seeing another corner of our beautiful country, even if it is super expensive to travel locally. Highlight was visiting Whitehaven Beach, I’ve never seen ocean water so blue.

    On the to-do list today is holiday laundry, grocery shopping as my fridge is empty, gym session and catching up on many work emails.

    Tickets to NZ are booked. Campervan is in the process of being booked. I’m really excited now.
