    My boss is going on leave for four weeks as of today, so I asked my bosses boss of they’ll be my reference. They will, and it was pretty chill

      Create a generic cover letter/resume combo file and apply for a bunch of jobs through recruitment companies at the moment. It’s the end of the month so they’ll all be looking to maximise their commission. Aim for jobs that have been up for close to two weeks as well, they’ll be closing soon

    I’m so, so, so tired.

    I think gym this morning is the reason. It’s day 4 of 6am wake up and I think I’m almost normal.

    I’m eating dinner, kidnapping the cat and going to bed. Goodnight all ❤️

        Eleven days since I tested, twelve since the symptoms hit. Spoke to the nurse at my practice and she said it’s not surprising as I’ve still got symptoms, and this variant tends to linger, but if I’m still coughing next week give them a call and they’ll reevaluate.

    I think I’ll wear my slippers around the house all the time.

    I got the kids some hot wheels cars and one is a stegosaurs. Essentially its a spike trap on wheels. Couple that with their puzzle pieces with little handles on them and there are a few nasty things to step on.

    I want to avoid the very dad thing of stepping on one of the kids’ toys at an unfortunate moment

    There was a kid in the ER last night with the same name as my kid. He had his hand smashed with a brick at school and he was still waiting after we left. Poor little fella was OVER it and just wanted to go to bed, hope he is ok.

    My daughter’s at Coles and she texts me to ask if I want anything. So I sent a shitload of texts back in a row. Get donuts. Cinnamon donuts. Or whatever. And biscuits. Any biscuits. I don’t care which ones. You want your dad to pick you up. Hello.

    Crazy tooth pain tuesday night, saw my dentist yesterday, tooth extracted (2nd one in 2 months but it had to go), today is pretty much pain free with like no soreness in my gums or jaw. I’m glad, but also odd.

      yikes! Not ideal. I had a mate describe a root canal as the worst pain he’s ever experienced. Takes his dental hygiene VERY seriously now.

        This was going to be either a root canal (got quoted 3k for it) or a pull. I opted for the pull as it’s instant and about 1/10 of the price.

        Interestingly enough, I brush twice a day, floss daily, avoid sugary shit etc. Sometimes it’s just genetic unfortunately. I inherited my dad’s crappy teeth instead of my mum’s.

            My wife has that!! She had some removed in her early 20s (jaw was too small) before her wisdom teeth grew in. She got those out about 15 years ago. All up she still has more teeth than me and has had like 6 or 7 removed.

            Crazy

          I can assure you a ruptured ovarian cyst is worse in the instant, but it goes away. As do kidney stones. Dental stuff drags on and on. Much worse than single shot near crits.
