    Most secret special potato cake eating spot (not really just the playground opposite the IGA / fish and chip place in pt. lonsdale):

    Pretty easy to make friends there:

    Just saw the news on the AA accident in Washington. 😭

    (I have a reli that travels frequently using AA (they’re not on that flight). I feel ill. So awful for all involved.)

    So, yesterday I managed to injure myself in the most ridiculous way possible while playing tennis. We were warming up serves, and the other guy was easing into it with some slow servew. Naturally, I decided to match the energy by being incredibly lazy, barely moving my feet and just waving my racket around like a disinterested Jedi.

    Then, out of nowhere, he unleashes this rocket of a serve. For reasons I still can’t explain, I just stood there, completely unprepared, and decided my best move was to swing wildly at it. Of course, I was ridiculously late, and instead of gracefully returning the ball, I managed to deflect it into my racket, which immediately ricocheted directly into the bone right below my knee.

    Ensues excruciating pain and I had to pull out of the first game (and asked my tm8 to play a singles instead as the format was 2 singles and 1 doubles) while I winced and iced my knee.

    Safe to say, I won’t be making any highlight reels anytime soon. 😭

    Well I’ve been doing the right things with my face, which is good to know. The Dr prescribed me some antibiotics so it doesn’t get infected, and I made the nurse laugh with my home made wound pads. I’d bought some from the chemist but they just weren’t absorbent enough. So I thought, what if I cut up a nighttime incontinence pad and sealed the edges with wide adherence bandage tape? Works a treat, is comfortable and has a stay-dry cover.

      A woman’s mastery can not be contained! Many years ago my old dog had bone cancer at the top of her eye socket area. She was very well cared for but occasionally she would develop a weepy wound. A party liner stuck to a cute bandana was the easiest way to manage it. My vet was in hysterics when he first saw it.

    This is my life hack: I have now started cooking early (during the summer) because the sun beams in through my windows at around 5 making me hot and sweaty. I don’t want to eat when I’m sweating buckets. The man and the kid come home around 3 and 3:30 and they’re hungry so this suits everybody. Now I can relax for the rest of the evening.

    I’ve got a meeting Monday with an SLT member. If the outcome of this meeting is poor, I’ll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.

    The straw has broken the camels back.

      I’ll be retracting my request for a raise and moving on.

      Nah. Dont make it explicit. just say “You understand the consequences of this. right? you understand what this may cost the business?” Let the threat be unsaid but hang in the air. gives you more maneuverability and them a second change to ponder the risks involved.

        The workload is untenable man. We had a client offboard who had historic issues with the larger org.

        The owner of the company that got sold rang him today in what I assume was a check to see if I’m worth the raise.

        There was no chance of saving this client. First time I met the guy he straight up said “I’m not renewing”

        The client was unhappy because he felt “ignored”. We have weekly meetings. I action everything he asks for.

        There’s literally nothing else I could do.

        Not good enough apparently.

        Too much work, not enough time. Stress when not working. Constantly worried about work. No time to just relax.

        If I get a better offer, im out. If I get the raise, I’m waiting till I’ve moved house then I’m out.

        If I don’t get the raise I’m stuck here till I move house first.

    managed to score a doctors appointment cause the mrs wants me to get a blood test and just check everything doing ok. might set up the spare bed as a fallback option tonight as well. See if I cant convince the mrs to do that thing married couples often do before they fall asleep (assuming Im up to it, which there is serious doubts right now). Hopefully that, some melatonin and a chamomile tea will be enough to get me across the line tonight.
