Sticking my head around the door just to say I'm wiped and goodnight.

I just tried Aldi's frozen Singapore noodles for the first time and I don't know what I just ate but it wasn't Singapore noodles. I give it 1/5 yum yums and that's only because it was hot. Highly do not recommend.

Only an hour and half and I am at last on my weekend! Have two cars I'm test driving tomorrow and then it's sweet FA and night shift prep.

In exciting news, it looks like the cons of having us back in the office are starting to stack up and managements feeling a little pressure from a few directions to boot us back home for all or part of night rotation again. Crossing all the limbs because doing nights from home was the greatest thing to ever happen during covid.

Prefill data finally came through. Not grumpy at all about the pathetically low tax return this year, no siree, 250$ is surely in the same ballpark as $2-5k in past years...

Drink a glass of water. Can sometimes help. Hot water if the weather is cold.

Who drives this body? You? Or your tummy?

(That's roughly the inner dialogue I have when I'm hungry)

my love affair with the patties sausage rolls is OVER.

I know I've said it before but I'm super serious this time.

Oh my god. I’m here wondering when my podcast gets uploaded and realised it’s only Tuesday.

Bleh!

Also I crave sugar :(

Okay, it's been a few hours and I'm still in character creation (it's expected, it's how I roll), and I've narrowed it down to a gold dragonborn, but can't decide on a class.

Sorcerer, Druid, or Ranger? Druid and Ranger for Speak with Animals and Animal Handling, respectively. Sorcerer because I love them.

Got a call for in person interview for one of the jobs I applied for which is great. But now begins the stress of trying to get my shift covered and as i'm potentially going to the interview straight from work dressing in a way that doesn't give the away i might be having and interview while also dressing appropriately for the interview. Also the nature of my job means that I can't just call in sick without my shift being covered. Should i just quit my job and wait for after then to attend interviews?
