My planned mental health day became an actual sickness day. Still, a day off is a day off and it’s just what I needed. Resting and knocking a few things off the life admin list.
Update on the neighbour dog barking. I heard from another neighbour that the owners have gone to Europe, it seems like they've just left the dog at the house and expect whoever to visit and feed it, and it's being left outside all day and night. I'm not sure if anyone is pet sitting or living at the house, there's no cars around. Going on holiday doesn't absolve you of your responsibilities as a dog owner. Dogs need exercise and attention, it ain't getting any of that so it's barking around the clock. I called the council but they're useless. Goodbye sleep and sanity.
In better news, off for Friday knock-off drinks soon. This weather is perfect for beer.
I can't see it from the front of the neighbour's house, it's behind a tall fence. I will have a closer look today though. Something's not right. That dog has been there for a while and this is the first time I've heard it barking all day.
Went to sleep to the sounds of my neighbour’s barking dog and it was my alarm clock this morning. I’m over hearing it. The barking has happened during the day for a little while but this week it’s extended into sleep hours. It also sets off other dogs in the area, creating a bark fest.
I took a peek at the the Reddit DT a couple of days back. Didn’t recognise half the usernames and not many posts. On a good day the DT could get over 1000 posts. Sad what it’s become but glad we have this.
A very up and down day. Mostly down. Terrible sleep made for a moody office day. An afternoon pick up in energy came, then got a job application rejection email to end the work day after a good interview on Friday. My experience didn’t align apparently. Fair enough but still stings. Never going to leave my current job at this rate. Finished with a good gym session to process all of today’s emotions. Ready for a deep sleep.
This reminds me of hotel invoices I would get in the US, with so many line items including fee this fee that. The advertised price is never the actual price!
Still cooked dinner even though I got home late from work and felt super tired. A lazier me would have just gotten take out. Bolognese with garlic bread hit the spot. I’m now too full to clean the kitchen.
I think it depends from artist to artist. If I had to generalise - the older the crowd, the more likely people in the seats are going to sit for the entire concert. Lorde and Harry would attract a younger crowd, Lizzo an older crowd. I don't understand how people can sit through a pop/dance/rock/upbeat music concert and so I'll typically get GA tickets.
Waiting on a work call from London before I can sign off for the week. I said 6pm Mel / 9am London. A Friday night work call is bad enough, now they're late. They've got until 6:15pm, then my working week is over. Too bad.
For me, having a team lunch is not a “break”. I get back to the office feeling like I haven’t stopped working. Went straight back outside for a 15 min walk to reset.
Is this a replacement bus? The shutting down of various train lines in the west will be adding to the traffic woes. I believe Dynon Road is closed too, another way to cross the river.
