Apple & bacon salad please Chef. And a long tall glass of iced lemonade.
I guess it's insurance day today, after sorting the car I moved on to finalising the forms for Income Protection. So much money, and the premiums just keep going up the older I get. It does make the car insurance seem extra cheap in comparison.
How long does it usually take to hear back from a place once they've moved on to reference checks? Or is asking for references a sick new part of the selection process instead of the last step for the selected candidate?
still no rain
I watched How to make gravy last night. The storyline was a bit meh. I found it lacking in flavour. Not a lot of substance. Not bad, not great, just ok.

To improve the flabour, should have added a dollop of tomato sauce.
Sorry, I had to...
E: Yes I typed flabour. It stays as a reminder to be caffeinated before typing.
they were bold making a movie out of a song lets be honest. Great song, dont get me wrong. GREAT song, But not sure it contained enough depth or story...
Requests for feedback on online orders are getting beyond ridiculous. This time they want to know how we like a Thing 6 hours before the notice it would land today. I also now know what my Solstice gift is, but that will happen when letting somebody else use your account.
I like the concept of solstice gift.
We don't do Xmas but prezzies are nice, so nearest date ๐บ
Through some sort of weirdness of the insurance industry it has turned out to be cheaper to get comprehensive insurance for my car than third party. Renewal of the third party with RACV was going to be just over $500, a basic comprehensive policy with AAMI is $342. Even with AAMI the third party policy would have been more expensive. I have no idea why, but obviously the underlying risk assumptions for the policies have some sort of different risk calculations that work out in my favour.
Time to put my phone in the fridge
Went for a run. So humid. I am a walking shower.
I often feel so ineffectual at life. Especially after I watch or read about successful people, and then I reflect that Iโve achieved absolutely nothing.
Dilemma. I am rostered in the office today. Thought I was getting the flu yesterday. Feeling ok today but one side of my throat is quite sore and it's all red. Maybe mild tonsillitis?? Never had that mild tho.. maybe just allergies??
I think I need to WFH to be safe don't I? Bum. I had a whole heap of stuff I need to do in person...
I hate in-between not quite sick. Make a decision body
In my last job there was a solid 9 month period where my employer refused to accept that there was now a third degree of sickness. Instead of just "fit to work" and "not fit to work", there is clearly a new category now - "fit to work, but only from home". Took them a long time to accept that, and many spent sick days.
Time to wind down now before making dinner.
Playing some Animal Crossing for that cosy feeling and put a movie on.
Going to make more chicken sandwiches tonight.
