THE SHIT MANAGER IS MOVING DEPARTMENTS!!!
I report to SLT now. Fuck yes. Fuck yes.
My hatred for my job has almost completely evaporated. This guy has been a nightmare from day 1.
Today, he shoved 2 of the team members because he got frustrated with them.
They came and told me about it and I went to the CEO straight away.
What an absolute piece of shit.
He should be reported to HR, you are absolutely not allowed to lay hands on people like that but the people who got shoved are the ones who need to lodge in the complaint.
I’ve got a meeting with them tomorrow morning.
Fucking cowardly piece of shit. He had to go pick on the young staff, he wouldn’t dare do it to any of the older ones. Standard coward tactics.
Woohoo!!! God it’s such a relief when a toxic personality leaves
That’s great news. It seems like the Work Gods have intervened and given you the simplest solution
Yay!!!
I just got into where i’m staying at Wharingu, it’s quiet and this is my view, its very nice
lots of hugs have been exchanged 🥰
ooh that is quite the view!
What a beautiful view and yay for hugs!
Absolutely love NZ scenery, have a great time!
The serenity
Omg stunning 🥰
Miniest didn’t get an offer from her first choice of high school. I came home to a little girl crying in her bedroom, in bed with the curtains closed. I explained that it’s part of the process and probably ed dept policy for every child to be offered a place at a school in their catchment area. We still have an appointment with them later this month… on the very day appeals must be lodged by. So there’s still a (probably slim) chance. But 💔
That’s tough news for her. Hopefully the meeting with the preferred school goes well. From my understanding your preferred school can offer a place if they have one available, without having to go through the appeal process.
Oh poor miniest, that’s so hard. It might be worth contacting the preferred school again, and asking if you could get an appointment earlier if the opportunity arises. Slim chance, but worth a try. There might be other kids that decline their spots or something
There is an excursion on tomorrow as part of this work conference. It’s going to be cold and miserable so I simply Will Not Go.
Everyone on the excursion will think I’m at the office. Everyone at the office will think I’m on the excursion. I will stay home and actually get some work done
Love it!
Today absolutely frigging dragged on - I really am due for some fieldwork so I can get out in the fresh air again but nothing coming up for a while :c
I might get moving on my plans to be away in August.
I’m so torn between (a) ending my lease and dumping my shit in storage, or (b) just leaving everything at this rental and going away then coming back.
(a) is much, much more cathartic and closer to my heart… but also challenging and stressful in the short term, and more expensive in the short term due to moving. But does give me the option to extend my break or travel while working remotely if I decide to do that
(b) is easier and cheaper in the short term but psychologically I feel like I won’t get that satisfaction of closing off the past and moving into a new phase of my life with new aims, habits, etc. coming back to this place could see me falling back into a rut because it’s the easy choice. Also will get more expensive if I stay away for longer.
I’m giving myself a week max to sleep on it and decide. At this point I know I’ll be away for a month and the rent is 400/week so financially it’ll only make more sense to dump into storage maybe if I’m away for three months or more. But it isn’t just the finances… I desperately need to shake things up!
Uni results day today.
I passed my placement - yay.
HD on my final assignment in one unit - w00t.
Still waiting on the results for the other unit. I dunno why the first 2 released at 9am and this one is taking ages.
Hearty congratulations! My final assignment was submitted very late due to extensions so I don’t think I’ll get a grade until mid July but it’s always a great feeling to get some results back after a round of hard work.
Thanks! What are you studying?
The end of a rather niche/identifiable qualification that is related to my job… Dragged it out for years what with covid etc. I finished it out of spite, almost!
Worth it in the end :)
Congrats 🎉
Thank you! I don’t know how, probably because they give them out like lollypops, but I am on HD streak of 7 so far.
Congrats!
That’s awesome, well done!!
Thank you!
My brain is fried. 24 hours of work in 2 days. Trying to eat some veggies and then suddenly
You get a little nip on the arm.
Why?
because fuck you that’s why!!
A few minutes later you settle back in to finish dinner. Your turn your head to this
You give up and go get the treats.
you in trouble for not being home
Oooh she plotting something
Being adorable it seems. Worked like a charm lol
Cried with frustration at the end of tonight’s rebound session. Mostly frustration with myself. Unfortunately the trainer noticed and so everyone noticed. She (and everyone else) was absolutely lovely about it and I know I’ll go back, but wahhh.
Trampolines?
Yeah, mini trampolines! It’s really fun but really tough and absolutely kills the lower sides of my legs. Need to come up with some stretches and/or strength exercises for that area. Would have asked the trainer, but ya know, the crying.
The outer sides of the calves are the peroneal muscles if that’ll help direct your stretch research. Exrx.net is an old site with a lot of anatomy / exercise resources.
Thank you so much! That looks like a great place to start. Appreciate that! :)
Went out with an old friend tonight who reached out and asked me to a game of warewolf (similar to mafia) at a pub in Balaclava. First Tuesday of the month if anyone’s keen for a bluffing game with randomly assigned roles. Really friendly bunch of people.
rain and spiders, so many spiders
no matter , this i all about rest, plans, and doing things
and spending time with the young seagoons :)
Eek, I hate spiders.
these are harmless
There is also a cheeky pupster, she already stole my breakfast buns from the bag when the car was being unpacked
the buns were gone is one sec and then she ran away around the corner because she knew she was naughty , but she’s cute
this country is also obsessed with feijoa fruits 😃
It might help you to learn about their evolution - they look weird AF and creepy because they come from the sea - I had arachnophobia, and while I still get that initial shock at seeing one, I can rationalise my way out of it now. That’s because I basically did a sort of ‘exposure therapy’ on myself by learning about their evolution, behaviours and biology. The Tarantula subreddit helped immensely - seeing a male lying upside in his wank-blanket (or wanket) is the stupidest looking thing ever 😂
Here is an example of a male tarantula wanking off into his badly made wanket 😂😂😂
I might leave that link green haha.
Yeah, same…
Friendly kiwi spiders though.
I’m about to open a container that came from her room that I think has food in it. I think there’s something growing in there but I have to save my fork. Pray for me.
Update: I don’t know what that was. Maybe banana and yogurt. Fuck.
I would have sacrificed the fork! 🤮
Turns out it was a spoon. I can’t let another soldier go.
Raging cat fight in the backyard. Not enough light to see who is involved. Set the neighbours dog off too. Just what we need World War Fury.
World War Furry mayhap?
Indeed. Unicorn suits and claws out at 3 paces.
7 hours to go lol
I won’t be doing this all day. Just once and that’s enough. Hopefully we don’t have to stay as late but we’ll see 🤞🏾
Sky pretty.
It was pink on the way out of work today, and the clouds caught the light well
Well this is proving to be difficult.
In better news turns out I accidentally crossbred habs with thai:
Fruits way later and has a hint of habs flavour but not too much and with all the heat. Always found the thais do better in the cold so will be keeping those seeds.
Is being home harder than the hospital? Is Ol’ Girl eating?
I think it’s easier for her here at home, but she’s gone back into ‘I need to do domestic chores’ mode which might actually not be that bad. I know this might sound bad but I’m leaving small light stuff out for her to put away just so she feels like she’s doing something.
Eating is the hard one but she’s getting more down here than in hospital. In hindsight should’ve disregarded advice to not bring anything in.
