Got a message from my manager regarding a minor complaint made against me. Apparently I use big words in emails and some people find it intimidating.

We had a good chuckle about it. I was hoping he'd tell me who it was so I could send that person a link to a dictionary/thesaurus page.

As it's Pride month (love all my gay/queer/trans homies and homettes) I'd like to share that we have had three separate friends of our kids, come out to us before telling their parents.

My wife responds with a motherly hug and I put the kettle on.

I've told all the kids that if they need adult backup when (if) they tell their parents, I'll happily accompany them and offer sanctuary, just in case.

I may not be their parent, but I'll pretend to be one if it makes them feel safe.

I don't share this a lot in real-life to keep our space safe for the kids, but felt like saying it here tonight.

So it appears that I've been successful in my interview last week. It's about a 2 month contracting process, but both my managers are happy to be referees.

More money, longer contract and more importantly, no one reports to me!!!!

@Gibsonhasafluffybutt good luck today. You got this shit.

Hmmm...boss is going on secondment for 6 months, his role is available and I have been strongly encouraged to apply.

Wish me luck

Got the higher gig at work. Feels good.

Now to deal with the knob that didn't get it and will be reporting straight to me.

2 resignations from my team this week. As a result our efficiency will go up and toxicity will go down.

Love it when dead weight decides to fuck off quietly.

So like one in five desks at work have some sort of issue. Screens/docks not working. Chairs are missing or broken. Meeting rooms can't connect to the network. Absolutely amazing.

Whoever is sabotaging this, I applaud you, you mad mad bastard.

I'm also being super vocal about stuff not working correctly, making sure the managers who really push for office days hear me.

Spent the past 30 minutes talking shit with two workmates (good shit, not bad shit).

Just joined a meeting and someone asked me something. I was still in a shit-talking mindset and replied 'sorry dawg, ain't me'

FUCKING KILL ME RIGHT NOW

Work from home, light day on the schedule at work, so I decided to do a cheeky bake session in the garage.

Guess who was looking at the wrong Friday, and has meetings all afternoon?

Go on, guess.

Slept with my hand under my head and my wrist is feeling fucky. I guest I can tick off 'injury while sleeping' on the over 40 list of bullshit.

Up just before 6 am to hit the gym...fuck yeah!!!!

Got some energy, ready to fucking lift.

Do my stretches, light warm ups, first rep of the first exercise and something tweaked in my back.

Off to the physio I go!!!

Yay!!

Whole family had a drink to mourn our cat.

Told my son off for taking a sip before clinking the glasses.

Boy gonna learn today.

Spent a good chunk of the day applying for roles in different departments. There's 3 I am super keen on, wish me luck.

Offer for new job received. Will peruse and accept when I get home.

My current bosses are very happy for me

First week in a higher role nearly over and I must say I'm enjoy it.

Slightly more busy and dealing with new people (who are all super patient).

Best part of it, is I actually have some influence over large decisions. So far my input has been welcomed and respected.

Fingers crossed my old boss stays in his role and I can keep this one 😁

Love 'urgent' emails at 3:30 with an 'action by COB' request.

Read through the chain of comms and it was sitting in someone's inbox for over a week.

I'm tempted to reply with 'Please see comments below' and have the only comments as 'It's not' next to their 'urgent' and 'not gonna happen' next to 'action by COB'

SO TEMPTED

Knockout sleep. Woke up before alarm. Caught the early train to work. Made myself a coffee and ready to suck the day's dick at work....and some fucknut comes in all chirpy and shit and greets me with 'Happy Thursyay!!!'

Sometimes violence is the anwer

Monday morning in the office is actually pleasant for once. The group of cackling hyenas is nowhere to be heard.

Blissful

Employment extended for 2 more years. Yay!!

Had to put our cat down last night. Poor little thing was sick all week, multiple vet visits and she deteriorated rapidly last night. Started as tummy issues but turned into a massive infection and didn't respond to treatment.

Absolutely devastated.

Please hug your pets extra today.
