    Just got Sammi home - it’s like she’s back to normal. She actually scarfed Zooki’s roo mince which she wasn’t supposed to have, inhaled the Hills vet food that she was, used the tray and is walking around reacquainting herself with the place.
    If you saw her Wednesday and then today, the only difference in her is the shaved spot where they took the bloods. Oh and no purrs - I might be on her shit list for awhile.
    Anyway ultrasound Wednesday, they’re going to let me know what time.

    I’m having an unbelievably hard time of life. I’m just not getting a break.

    Melbcat is feeling more comfortable with adequate pain relief though, ate some wet food and is cuddling. I’m waiting for Tuesday and counting down to receiving the antibiotics

    Went to check out a school with/for the eldest minipeeler. It seems like such a great fit for him. So hard to get a school that can help him with his anxiety, school refusal and need for re-engagement. It’s a tiny school though and they have such limited places. I’m not the praying kind but I’m praying for him to get accepted. We will formally begin the application process tomorrow for next year 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Any improvement Sammi had was minimal, so I phoned the vet and they’ve admitted her for observation and further tests (including hopefully an abdominal ultrasound).
    Cross fingers for us.

    Payday today!! I’m trying to get the enthusiasm levels up like all you Wednesday pay people from last week, but when you have a strict budget it’s all divided up and spent before you get it anyway.

    It is nice seeing the car money creeping higher though - I’ve gone from “could buy another car the same as mine if I crash it” level to being able to get something that’s a bit nicer. Slowly moving towards the point I can buy a car I would actually choose to buy without being forced by the death of my current one.

      Monday pay people represent! The boss does our payslip in the morning but our pays sometime during the afternoon, so it’s a small “yay” when I get the email and a bigger more relieved “YAY” when the bread is in the bag.

        We used to get the pay slip available on the pay system some random time during the day, but there is no email or any notification so you just have to keep checking if it is there. Recently they started doing it earlier so it is there over the weekend which is much better. We have a stupidly complicated pay structure with varying penalty rates so we always have to go through and double check everything for errors (although not everyone’s math skills are up to the task, so they probably get away with a lot of mistakes).

        My bank now notifies me when the actual money goes into the bank, so that is always nice to see.

      my pay doesn’t land until Thursday night, dammit. I much preferred a previous job where it would arrive on a Tuesday afternoon. somehow that feels much more civilised.

    8.5 hours straight with no lunch break (by my own choice because I didn’t want to spend even longer outside). Ugh, I had hoped it would be a short day today - it was easy at least, mostly support for someone else and driving - but just a lot of time standing around not working on my assignment, while my brain and guts are in stress overdrive again. I’m glad that my work now ends when I leave, but whose bright idea was it to reintroduce ongoing stress with uni!!!

    I’m going to just eat and lie down for a bit before I attempt to do any uni stuff. I’m 70% of the way there. Just need to skim through enough articles to cite them appropriately…

    Vet just called - as before, nothing detected in the external examination and nothing in the blood tests. They’re going to x-ray her and if nothing shows up on that, organise an ultrasound. Also they’ll give her fluids and an anti nausea injection since she has been vomiting on and off since Thursday.

    works gone to complete and utter shit. We’re being forced into this project that we all know is gonna end in a complete dumpster fire, but we (as in everyone in my department, managers included) cant do anything to stop it. Gonna chat to my boss and just say “look I cant reconcile this shit, you want it done? Fine, but I dont want to talk about it for a second more than we have to”. The greater department has this habit of turning their meetings into therapy/bitching sessions and I’m just not here for it.

    Till this Project Doom is completed we’re sticking to facts any talking about it as little as possible.

    thats fair enough isnt it? Honestly sat in the meeting where it was announced on seek, and I dont reckon I was alone in that.

      I’m wary of places where meetings become therapy/bitch sessions. I never know how much that stuff is gonna get twisted, taken out of context, used against you etc. Risky overflow into unprofessional behaviour.

        You guessed it. I cant say too much publicly, but imagine a migration you wouldn’t wanna touch with a 10 foot pole and your probably thinking of it.
