Goooood morning! Happy friday! My last Friday in my current role 🥳🥳🥰

Could the media please shut the fuck up about Raygun. Please let this story die.

Chill is back in the air. On the way to a moooovie (MIFF film) even though I have this assignment to do… But I wouldn’t have gotten anything done tonight anyway as it’s been a big day at work… I think my guilt/anxiety over the assignment is what’s caused me to have nasty dreams of teenage woes (had another dream after the one of my mum screaming, with an uncle telling me I wasn’t allowed to watch Suits. Which is weird as I’ve never been interested in watching it anyway and that uncle was relatively lenient)

It’s okay to have a bit of a life outside of work and uni 😩 can’t sustain my psyche otherwise…

In good news though, I passed my probation at one of my jobs today and got a 9% pay bump (they kind of tend to lowball in the first 3 months then do more after. Even my boss admitted it was “embarrassing” what I’d been paid so went beyond the upper range of what I was thinking). The annual equivalent is the highest I’ve ever been paid in my life so far - would finally take me past the PHI tax threshold lol - and it is so much cruisier than my previous job, so I am feeling pretty chuffed about that. 🥂

edit: I also negotiated one day less per fortnight so I kind of end up the same financially but with more time so that’s not so bad at all 😎

Happy Friday everyone 🎉

Quiet night tonight but I don’t mind some music and gaming time.

Hope everyone has a great night ❤️

Bad nightmare taking me right back to my teen years being screamed at by my mother over trivial things… The sense of fear and feeling trapped woke me right up :( not now, brain.

I’m sitting in front of this now. I can’t seem to get up.

God help me.

I’M FREE BITCHES

They came out to install that gate thing yesterday, which took me by surprise. They did say it would be installed this week, but I didn’t believe them. But then it happened, so that’s cool I guess.

Unfortunately they didn’t install any electrics or motors for it, and it’s on a fairly steep hill, so it just opened itself every time I tried to close it. I was able to find some old bed slat thingies and wedge those between the gate and the fence. Looks ghetto AF, but it worked and provided some safety.

Unfortunately today they came out to try and install a motor, but they forgot a part or something so it doesn’t actually… Motor. Unfortunately in the process, they’ve put it on same chains and gears that can’t be moved when the motor is off. So now I can’t actually close it.

They’ll come to install it some stage next week, but it basically leaves me in the same position as I was 2 days ago over the weekend. And I can once again enjoy the constant baseline anxiety of old mate coming back again.

It has now been 39 days since I returned and had to deal with all of this garbage.

Edit: I should be fair to them. In 39 days they’ve purchased 1 security camera

Cheers Peppercorns 🍺

The man goes back to work on Monday so it’s like the closing ceremony.

Why has not evolution equipped us off switches?

I’ve turned into a hysterical fountain.

I just ate a cheese kransky in a baguette with hot english mustard and t-sauce having a radox bath… and… i’m fundamentally a different person now.

I did not expect that on the bucket list… it will remain permanently on the bucket list I’m not crossing it out.

It is Mr Woof’s 10th Gotcha Day today! 🎂🐕

As wrecked as I’ve been this week thanks to starting on Wegovy, I’ve booked myself a room up in Beechworth for tomorrow and it’s non-refundable so that will force me out of my apartment. I’ll pop into the Billson’s brewery tomorrow afternoon and then chill tf out on the room balcony which overlooks some pretty countryside.

Sunday I’ll get up early, go and spend some time looking at Woolshed Falls then drive to Yackandandah and finally see it. I’ve lined up a place to grab a coffee and breakfast there.

That’s as far as I’ve gotten. As always plans are subject to change (besides the accommodation) because I’m free to do what I want any old time.

I have retired to bed, like a boring old fart. Everything is too loud after work in an occasionally quite noisy factory. Sometimes when I come home and I’ve done all my jobs (dinner etc) I can’t wait to leave the living areas of the house. Everyone’s enjoying themselves being noisy with Xbox and tv and I’d just be a killjoy asking people constantly to turn it down. I need peace and quiet to recharge and relax, and it runs counter to everyone else in the house doing their Friday thing.
