    In a bit of exciting news I’m becoming a pub trivia host. It will be a bit of consistent side money and whilst not ideal because I have to go to a place and do a thing, it’s close to home and I’ve been looking for side work for a while and gotten nothing, so this is a nice change.

        I haven’t properly hosted yet, but there seems to be a balance between actually being a host and you could just run through the questions and the crowd would follow along anyway.

        So it probably won’t be too difficult once I get used to it, and it’s good to know the entire show isn’t hinging on you

    Been playing Stray, it’s such an interesting game. Went in knowing nothing about it except you’re a cat who gets lost, but it’s been fun and unsettling and the puzzles are good. It’s different from the usual games I play which are investigate every single corner, collect, grind, etc.

    There’s a woman at work who really likes the colour pink. I noticed one time I was helping her with something and saw she had a pink travel cup, pink sunglasses, and even changed the theme of her browser to be pink.

    It’s something I keep noticing about her now like a recurring bit about a side character on a TV show. I hope other people have noticed as well because it would be a nice thing to include on the cake for her birthday month or anything else work does for her

    Oops, I bought a device at an outlet place thinking it was a 2-in-1 (360 hinge). Imagine my surprise now that it has arrived. Still a good deal, but not quite the deal I thought.

    FYI you can’t delete / deactivate mobile Mykis when they go negative as many times as you want anymore. Only five cards per device.

        That is true. It does save a few dollars if you delete it when the balance is negative and start from $0 again.

      I think we’re going to have to have a word with YB’s supervisor - maybe put YB on a first warning. Has anyone got a copy of the KPIs for the role?

        Ah but then we run the risk of accidentally performance managing YB out. Have we got a suitable back up plan or are we prepared to recruit for the role? Do the absences outweigh performance and can be fill the gap with current resources?

          I think our lack of personal leave, annual leave, benefits or pay of any kind may hamper any recruitment efforts. Based on this reality I believe a PIP should only be initiated if posting levels fall below 0%.

      functioning, kinda

      I get down too easily when I have back pain

      what isn’t on the chart is getting the stuff done that needs to get done ( I suppose that come under coping )

      and I would say I am improving

      Physical - overworked (this is as I have a back muscle strain from last week that just won’t get better and is painful, hoping to be back at focused level soon)

      Emotional - somewhere between functioning and overworked, will be better emotionally once I’m physically better. Funny how the two are very linked.
