    My manager is giving me the silent treatment.

    Jesus christ lol

    I’ve got a meeting with the CEO this afternoon to have a casual chat. A meeting I requested. So let’s see how this plays out.

      I resigned from a job yonks ago and the whole senior leadership team of the not-particularly-big org gave me the silent treatment for my whole notice period. I was pretty junior and they’d been treating me like shit, it can’t have been surprising that I was leaving. Such strange people. It was very primary school.

      Good luck with the meeting! And with the job hunting!

        I’m gonna guess no older than 12

        Actually, my 12 year old cousin has more maturity than that

        So lower it to 7 or 8

        I don’t get how adults can be so catty.

      I can’t understand people like that and how they even end up as managers. Such shitty behaviour. Hope your casual chat goes well!

    I’ve achieved my dream finally.

    Playing drums to my own guitar tracks.

    I can’t explain how fucking cool this is, even as a fairly shit drummer lol

    Argh, supervisor has already done a very quick review of thesis. I’m way too brain dead to look at it today and take on the emotional damage - I’m going to go to bed early tonight and have another crack tomorrow morning before prepping for the preso in the afternoon. Apparently I still do need to add more references and beef up the discussion but I also kind of don’t wannaaaaaa. I’m so done with reading dense academic articles about stuff I don’t really care that much about…

      First time ever YL left the house and then ran back in. Why. Because she forgot her glasses which she wears permanently. Literally can’t see without them.

    Between the weather and not nearly enough sleep I’m completely phoning it in today. Fuck me I don’t know why they insist on cracking the window open slightly while having the reverse cycle on in the office, I get that it’s stuffy but this is really defeating the purpose

    I decided to take a deep breath, steel myself and have a look through my supervisor’s revision - half the intro was basically rewritten but it does at least flow better and the points made aren’t substantially different. The discussion needs a big boost though. It’s doable. But I’m leaving it to tomorrow. For now, I am going to have a nice hot dinner of paratha and some super spicy prawn curry, have a hot shower, and then burrow in bed to do some nyt word puzzles with brown noise until I fall asleep.

    Tomorrow’s game plan is 1. Finalise my slides with the improved logic flow from thesis; 2. Rehearse slides to make sure I’m not way over time; 3. Do some writing and reading if I have time; 4. Presentation of doom; 5. Continue writing

    There’s some real gremlins in my brain playing the old classics on repeat from bad academic experiences of the past but I ain’t giving them a voice today. There’s work to be done once this is all over, for sure.

    Deadline is technically Monday but supervisor also thinks I can get this across the line before COB Friday so we’re gonna fucking do it and I can truly relax on the weekend

    I can feel the freezing air coming through the window of my home office. It’s very gentle but it’s there. I think it’s more obvious today because of how cold it is and maybe the direction of the wind is the right angle of south as this is a south-facing room. Must counteract with heating ($$$).

    Really odd dreams the last few nights. Only remembering snippets.

    The narratives are all over the place. Probably lines up with the resensitisation of my nervous system but still.

    Edit: one of them was going to feed the strays but everything was different and it turned out it was 7am but the usual 4pm. Weird.

    My plans of working next to the fireplace got nixed.

    Due to unforseen circumstances I’m in a local office (that I can drive to) and two managers owe me huge favours.

    At least it’s warm here.
