Gibson day 2

Got an interview tomorrow lol

Perfect timing.

Oh noes ... Came home a bit early so I could regroup and finish off the years tasks quietly. 20 min nap on couch became 2 hour DEEEP sleep with random nightmares and now my neck is cricked and I am discombobulated.

Yep. That was 2024 in a nutshell

Cheers guys 🍺

Dinner out, first time in ages. Little Mexico in Berwick. Nice enough, kinda lacking in spice levels but that's probably more on me.

I regret getting in contact with my Aunty to settle things.

She tells people that I’m the nice one I’m the family but I just choose not to get into conflicts.

She texts me this.

“I haven’t got any replies to my emails. You better tell your cousins to hurry up to have settlement by blah blah date”

Dunno if I’m reading into too much but it does t sound very nice and feels like she’s pressuring me to rush them.

Who's an idiot who thought it'd be overcast and left their bedroom blinds partly open and window wide open. No prizes for guessing.

I am being taught over and over again THOU SHALT ALWAYS LEAVE THE BLINDS DOWN AND WINDOWS CLOSED before leaving for work. No exemptions. Boiling.

Met up with some old colleagues which was nice - kind of really tied a neat bow on that chapter, one year on - now to catch up on 2.5 hrs of work and call it a day.

IT outage at the hospital, waited 2+ hungry and uncaffeinated hours for my scopes to be cancelled. 💀 I'm declaring today Taco Overload Tuesday to celebrate.

What sort of buffoon tries to sell a house with neither stove nor oven? Wonder what other surprises lurk in this one?

Turns out I took 1 more week of leave than I thought. 3 weeks here we come!

Flexing hydrangeas.

I’m so tired 😮‍💨

I'm progressing to the next stage with this job. I don't know if it's what I want to do but if I got an offer I feel like I shouldn't knock it back. I just don't want to end up in a similar situation where I'm out in a year's time because it didn't work out

Yeah nah. Still made in Australia. Cheeky buggers.

So today i mostly worked like a dog. My boss admitted to faffing a little too much today and didn’t as much done as she should have.

Hopefully this earns me a couple of early work finishes though tomorrow I have a work function at the end, I really hate that keeping us at work later to do these functions.

So. This morning we find out that the awesome manager will no longer be leading our team.

As I mentioned a bit earlier today, she's the main reason I've stuck it out.

Let's see where the new year will lead. Probably out of this place.

The cat is mad at me because there's cream in the fridge and it's not all in his belly (just some). He's given up yelling at the fridge and is now glaring at me, and occasionally mixing it up with looking very sad and lean.

Have you ever seen a more majestic breakfast? 240g steak, 1 avocado, one smallish zucchini, 200g mushroom, two runny yolk eggs. Butter, salt, pepper. And now I won't eat until tomorrow! I also won't get hungry til then either

spoiler

Staffy got stuck last night. No idea how she managed this one, she’s never put the blanket over her head before.

This is it. One more day between me and holiday (except for whatever little bits I will inevitably need to finish off in the morning.

Yyyeeeeaaaah...

It appears I have a cold on my last day here. 😔 The good news is my fam will look after me real well. 🙂

Fell asleep splayed out on the bed no blankets and in the middle of the night woke up shivering cold. Good times.

Today on our drive to Christchurch we got acquainted with Brian FM. Brian is our soul mate. 💜
