I don't think I've seen a more blatant example of main character syndrome than seeing real estate agents putting themselves into videos showing the house they're selling.
And I don't mean talking about the house. They're in the video sitting on the couch or opening the door to enter with all this dramatic music playing, or staring out from the balcony all reflective and stuff.
Good lord.
Probably having my final assessment for my new role today, to see if they'll set me loose on the general public. Has been three weeks training so far. I am exhausted. I've been up since 2.30 tossing and turning stressing about it, picturing scenarios in my head etc. I'll get other chances if I don't pass but would be nice to rip the band aid off
Haven't had the heart to tell my supervisor at this job that I'm seriously mentally struggling atm. I'm off for a week from Friday night so I feel like I should see how I go with that before I go any further. I think I'm going to have to leave one of my jobs and cut down my overall hours to make this work, but it's really bad timing in terms of workload...
My wins /gratitude list today
✅ up at six after a good night's sleep.
✅ Good food packed for work
✅ Yummy coffee is yummy.
So there's three people in my team. The good one is leaving. Which leaves the one who is honestly like dealing with a child.
Ah well.
My performance review went great though!
Tonight's mood booster is some peri peri mock-chicken strips bought on a whim yesterday. I shall throw a zucchini in there for helth, and half an onion, and.. idk. Eat it with rice... cooked in broth! With cloves and cardamom! (I highly recommend the latter for really elevating even the simplest rice dish.)
Also just remembered I stress-bought frozen dumplings last night. I'm set for lunch tomorrow, woohoo!
Home sweet home. I’m going to throw some laundry on and crack a bag of Doritos
Spent a few hours last night on the couch in cosy pyjamas, under a soft blanket, ignoring the world and watching a new (to me) K Drama. Followed by one of the most solid sleeps I’ve had in a long, long time. Not feeling any better about being at work today, but at least it was a nice evening.
'puter rebuild complete and I didn't break anything and it turns on. Which brings us to the rave. Upon turning it on I honestly thought I'd be watching everything burn right in front of me
I dragged myself into an Uber to the vet because they had stock… felt like I was gonna puke but bebe has her Fortiflora! She’s slurping it up right now.
I’m too tired to do art or tinker with electronics. 😔 Maybe I’ll just chuck some laundry on
I stepped outside for a few minutes to enjoy the lovely sunshine. I'm now considering surgical removal of my sinuses, possibly with a stanley knife.
Yay spring.
Time for a cuppa and a mandarin
Our hard rubbish has been collected this morning. Other suburbs in the same municipality get a rubbish week where everyone puts theirs out for collection, but for some reason in our suburb we have to book twice a year. I hate it, would much prefer a week where everyone does it. Last year someone came and dumped extra stuff on our pile, so the council tried to tell us that because it was over 2 cubic metres (or something) that counted as two collections 🙄😒
One more assignment to do and that's another 2 units down. I wanted to get it done this week but I have to wait for the results of my previous assignment which release on Monday to do it because I need to use the feedback I received.
It gives me one week to get it done. It's only 800 words but I like having assignments done with time to spare...just in case so one week is giving me the twitches.
Lunch
In the dribbling recovery phase. Graar
mm, nom nom, the taste of turps. I just finished cleaning all the old wax and polish off my old sewing machine drawers. I did it outside but still 😝
in the sun it was 24, once the sun moved to the other side of the house and there was shade it plummeted to 14. brrr
Phew, made it home before the porch pirates struck! They’d have been disappointed as it’s all cake decorating stuff, but I need neither the headache nor duplicate expense. Fuck I hope this party goes to plan.
fell asleep on sofa before I finished cleaning up after dinner
nearly done now, just waiting for floor to dry
my life is so excitement ...lol
