my husband puts the telly with two different sets of speakers and they are always slightly out of sync, then when I say choose one I am a luddite 🤯🤯🤯

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. 🥂

Okay, Aussie Zone brains trust, I’ve got an interesting dilemma for you.

So a bit of background. My partner works as a sole trader, and does contract work for a number of companies.

One of the companies she works for has had a full time position open up, which involves managing their external contractors.

Being a sold trader works well for her, so she wants to turn it down. She wants to recommend me instead.

It’s a good job. It gas decent pay.

Here’s the tricky part: Were I to get this role, I would be responsible for managing this company’s external contractors, including my partner.

In effect, I would be her “boss” to some extent.

Working with your spouse or partner is always tricky. Let alone being their manager.

Has anyone here worked with someone they’re in a relationship with? What were the pros and cos? Did you disclose your relationship?

Should I take up the role? Or us it not worth tgd hassles?

Well that’s new. RACV motorcycle comprehensive insurance renewal came through. Monthly fee went down $8.

Unseasonal burst of warm weather is over. Resume standard winter operating procedures. In bed, electric blanket on, rainy weekend ahead.

Purchased a bottle of Bearface Canadian whiskey…it’s not great.

On par with Aussie offerings and nowhere near the Scottish and Irish drams.

I was up until 12 finishing a assignment, but I had to get up for work at 5. I am le tired.

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.

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’M FREE BITCHES

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

God help me.

Ou est le pluie?

2am circling cropper. Some kind of shit going down.

Happy Friday 🙂
