HOLY SHIT!!!
I had interviewed for another role before xmas just on the off chance because it was a better role, but they said I wasn’t a good fit. The recruiter hounded them for feedback, and it turns out they thought I was overqualified for it and they love me!!! I’ve got an interview with the managing director on Tuesday!!!
FUCK YES!!!
w00t!
On a side note i fucking hate the ‘overqualified’ excuse. Ffs, you chose to apply for the role, you’re aware of your own capabilities. That ‘overqualified’ crap is based on an assumption that you came begging hat in hand and would fuck off at the first better role leaving them sobbing and bereft - as if they wouldn’t outsource or automate your role in a heartbeat for a 0.0001c increase in profits
I’m freeeeee! Just a bit of sniffles left and the medical centre has given me the ok to leave isolation.
Edit: interesting development… just showered and put deodorant on and I can’t smell anything haha
What an odd sensation. Coconut sunscreen… nothing. Cologne… nothing.
Going to find some breakfast to check on taste but toothpaste was barely noticeable soooo
Edit edit: I can kinda taste ketchup but that was about it from my eggs and bacon breakfast. I should just eat the healthy stuff I might not usually eat.
Your tongue still works but it’s low resolution without the nose! Should clear up in a week or two.
And yeah load up on the rocket salad, may as well 🤢

Just went over to Lifou for 45 minutes or so. It’s so insanely hot. I’m still not 100% so I honestly had to be really careful over there or I felt like I might’ve passed out. Walked into the sea up to my knees which was like warm bath water. I wish I was feeling up to swimming. Oh well… very glad to be back in the shade!
Meanwhile this might be a bit of a hot take or sensitive topic or whatever but there are loads of ladies getting about rocking bikinis with and without G-string bikini bottoms who are on the more voluptuous/plus size and I think the confidence is sexy as hell. I don’t know what they’re feeling on the inside but they’re rocking the outside. Might not be for everyone but attitude and confidence in one’s own skin are probably the most attractive traits to me. Get it, ladies.
Friend is proposing a group to beach day tomorrow. Which involves going to a kid and dog friendly beach, being a taxi, leaving early and being surrounded by chaos. I was planning a slow solo beach day with a book and big ocean waves as a way to round out the holidays. Maybe I can say I’m busy in the morning to avoid being a taxi, join them for a bit then they’ll probably leave late afternoon and I can have a fraction of the day I planned.
