Interview went ok. They did catch me off guard with a couple of questions. But fingers crossed for a positive result!

I got another call from a recruiter for a government contract job that pays literally double what I was making before. So that’s a good backup.

Do you know when they will get back to you?

What’s the government job looking like? More work or more advanced skill set required?

Hopefully tomorrow at the latest. It would greatly grow my skillset and career in general.

Government job is actually easier, but contract is only 6 months. Wouldn’t be learning anything new, but pay is remarkable.

So pros and cons to each.

Ah ok.

Hope you hear back from them soon.

A 6 month contract seems risky if they don’t sign you on for more time or extend it even if the pay is great and also as you’ve said it doesn’t offer you any growth as well.

Today is the first day in over 3 weeks I’ve had any time to myself. Not even 10 minutes to myself. I don’t regard a walk in a crowded park as having time to myself.

I’m fucking exhausted and emotional.

Hugs. From a distance so you don’t feel ambushed.

I have arrived in Albury pretty glad to have decided to break up the drive. I could have pushed through but it would have been rough near the end I suspect.

Lovely day here too! I was expecting rain but found sunshine.

Yeah you missed all the fun on Sunday and Monday - driving down the Hume in Vic would’ve been an absolute blast those two days. Now it’s back to being boring!

Did I just spend over 5 solid hours in the same position on the couch trying to solve a question on a Stack Exchange website? (for a grand total of 2 internet points because most of the userbase isn’t online at this time)

…really better go and have a walk now geez.

Nonsense drama on my street today. Tomorrow is bin day, some residents have rolled out their green waste bin, whilst others (myself included as it’s the correct one) rolled out the recycling bin.

One neighbour asked me how I knew (checked the council website to verify) and quickly corrected his mistake.

The neighbour that had a blue with his missus rolled out his green one and gave me a very patronizing smirk.

When my bin gets emptied I’m going to wait until he’s outside to roll mine in. Debating whether to blow him a kiss or just wave enthusiastically.

Hahahaha I’m laughing at the thought of you smugly blowing a kiss. What a fucking wanker.

I wondering what the person who asked how you knew thinks the system is. I am imaging them asking with bewilderment, how do you know which bin it is?!? Maybe they think it’s random each week and you are a magician who can see the future.

They’re the type that would go to the council office and ask instead of checking online.
