Well, I opened my mouth a bit to soon. It appears kitty passed away sometime in the night on the couch nestled among the pillows. Had to wake the poor housemate up and give her the news, and she is not taking it well.

R.I.P to the little man himself.

Stress leave letter achieved! Ya boy is laying low for a couple of weeks to gather his thoughts.

Lmao didn't get the job I waited three months to hear back from.

Housemate and I are on the house hunt and we found this lovely house in a place we love, and in very fine print it says you aren't allowed to use the carport/granny flat or the shed...

Why the fuck would I pay to use half the house/property, you've got to be fucking joking. What's more is I don't want to run into someone in the backyard every other day while I'm paying probably triple their rent. I don't know maybe I'm being unreasonable, but it just seems ridiculous that you pay all this money to basically have a room mate you don't even get to pick.

Probably petty but I just declined a "pre-work assessment" because after reading the fine print it appears some of it will be AI assessed, and it also requested access to my webcam while I sat the test to record me.

I've emailed the recruiter and told them I'm withdrawing my application and why I'm withdrawing it. Probably won't hear anything back but I'd rather not work for a company that can't even assess me themselves.

Just wanted quickly pop in and say thank you all for your words of condolence this morning, they were much appreciated. It's going to be a bit sad for a while, but all will be well again soon.

Housemate has decided to have him cremated (he was technically theirs), and I've secretly called the crematorium to have him upgraded to an urn that looks like a sleeping cat, so he will look nice amongst their little fancy knick knacks shelf.

Ok DT, I have decided to take the new job offer! Short term, I lose a bit of cash (it was bound to happen because I make a LOT of penalties), but long term I make myself infinitely more employable and can start to think about settling down.

The absolutely massive win is I will now after a stupid number of years return to normal 9-5pm life! I am ridiculously excited, I miss my friends and family, and just having a normal weekend.

Have to share this pic of my cat being upset I wouldn't share my after work cookie with him.

For those who saw my previous posts, kitty is home and on a lot of medication that will mostly keep him comfortable as things slowly come to end. There's a clot on his heart they couldn't get to pass so he may lose his back legs but hopefully he's at peace before that happens.

Second last day of stress leave today, think I'll remain in my jammies and lounge about doing whatever takes my fancy.

Sick kitty is having a bad day. It's so hard to watch, but there's nothing to be done, we've made him extra comfy today, so hopefully that helps a little. I think the time is looming ever larger at the moment, I hate to accidentally prophecise, but I don't think he'll be stealing prawns this Christmas.

Aww they tried to hide this under the "read more" section on the listing...

$500 a week for a leaky garage and some cooling you absolutely know is not getting fixed anytime soon.

Finally am negative, I am free to fly the nest!!! I still have what I would describe as a head cold but other than that I am good to gooooooo! Time to reschedule everything I've had to cancel in the last two weeks and blow my calendar way out.

Tomorrow I return to the office after 3.5yrs, if I die in the night I shall take it as Gods mercy.

Also, shout out to the utter brilliance that is my upper management thinking dragging us in for full rotations without toeing us in first isn't going to have a single mental affect on anyone.

Doing that thing where I just lay in bed hungry because I'm ridiculously comfy and the cat has firmly attached himself.

Fuck I love a British crime drama! 60% actual crime solving, 10% HR nightmare, 10% rain, 10% you recognising actors, 5% places that sound like they belong in a fairy story, 5% people talking really fast. It's just brilliant stuff, it's perfect turn your brain off telly even though that's not it's intended purpose.

DTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! After half a year the car search has ended, I have finally replaced my 4x4 that shit itself during covid. Ya boy is about to make up for years worth of missed camping and road-tripping.

Well after all this time, I have caught covid. I'm sooooo fkn sick it's insane, if my teeth aren't chattering with the fever I'm just crying.

Holy shit, it's all coming up Bananafungus right now! Just got offered another job...

I'll still be taking the one I mentioned earlier, but absolutely wild times are being had.
