With the help of a friend who re-did my resume, and their insistence. I've applied for my dream job whose applications closed today. I wouldn't have done it without their help. Thank you friend.

Best of luck! π€π»π
Thank you. I'm scared
You can do it! Remember, worst case scenario is you get some application/interview practise. Well done on getting the job-search ball rolling, and Iβm sending all the good vibes for you!
hi scared, you are brave
I'm not quite as morose after a good night's sleep and a good breakfast. My ears are still not popped though. Tried the Valsalva manoeuvre, swallowing water, sucking on a lolly and using steam but no dice...
E: the cat has trapped me so I guess I'll just be stuck here for a while.
I have decided that what I really want to eat right now is a parmigana lasagne. Layers of chicken schnitzel, with tomato sauce, ham and cheese between them, topped with bechemal sauce, sprinkled with cheese and baked until golden. Obviously to be served with lots of perfectly hot and crispy chips.
Had a first date with a really lovely girl this weekend.
We both had fun and she made sure to tell me so and spoke about catching up again in the future a few times.
I waited a day to ask if she wanted to hang out next weekend and she says that sheβs super busy that weekend, sorry. No suggestion of when she might be free or anything.
Am I reading too much into it thinking maybe sheβs not interested? I just took what she said at face value and went with it but part of me wonders if sheβs just not interested but wants to be polite.
Any suggestions? I donβt want to come across as needy or anything like that.
Maybe I'm pessimistic but it sounds like she's brushing you off.
At this point I wouldn't reach out again, you've already stuck your neck out. If she makes contact, great but I wouldn't hold your breath.
weight loss is slowly but surely happening, further, if I stop all consumption of bad sugars like sorbitol I'll probably deflate like a balloon π¨ π which means my jeans will fit better π
So it's going to be 27 degrees on the weekend? Fuck me barely out of winter!
I caved and bought the mini jumbuk super cool quilt. Let's see if the product lives up to its hype.
"Hot" I say, convictionless, to my reflection

So my 7 year old randomly said to me earlier it'd be much cooler if you did - cue stupid goggles from me that she didn't understand.
The day has just started and the tram is already 20min late . How is this even possible ?! π€―
Oh sweet summer child

Apparently it's not that much of a PITA if your hair is neat and your walls are perfectly white. I did use a passport app, but going with an Australian passport size it just kept whinging about it not being large enough, so I went with a Singapore sized passport photo because apparently they like really large passport photos if you apply online. Anywho after it tantrummed a few more times about croppings and what not, I finally made it work. And after 5 hours of effort, they approved it in all of 5 minutes
I'm not even joking...
I have made a grievous error.
"regular or spicy, sir?"
Me, the idiot: "ooo spicy please!"
Post-dinner snack of cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and salt. Now my stomach is ACID AHHHHHHHHH
So just to recap

It did work to some degree but I still had to scrub bits off with a plastic spoon. I did actually take it outside to soak.
The second one I have is soaking in hot water with a cup of washing powder which is what I normally do but I'm leaving it overnight which I have never done. As ugly as it might look I'll be foiling them.
I haven't eaten all day who wants a hot dog.
I have really awful mustard and tomato sauce it'll be sprinkled with dried shallots and maybe adorned with jarlsberg. Probably going to put some tomato in too (proper tomato) it's half used and staring at me.
e: really good hot dog. Little crunchy onion things are now a thing.
the echiums have decided it's spring

Hoi DT. We are in need of ideas for a fancy dress. The theme is wide ranging. Someone from 80s, 90s, 00s.
There are two teenage girls going who would like to be in theme together (as in a pair) e.g. Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love.
Edit: Dressing as male is not an issue, dressing as two female characters might be more comfortable.
Bear in mind they would need to be recognizable by kids the same age so nothing too esoteric
Marty McFly & Doc Brown
Edit - 80s theme obviously

I'm cooking for 17 people in a weeks's time (!).. SIL's fam bam is coming over for bro's and wife's wedding I just heard this today. I don't have a commercial kitchen.

Rent a big fridge for a week. Hot pot is an option. Maybe two or three hotpots with different flavour profiles. Or a bbq (immersion in Aussie culture). Satay sticks or similar. Party pies and potat caks! Anything that can be prepped ahead of time.

There wasnβt enough room to space them out properly and I kept losing where I put individual seeds after patting them in so I gave up and kind of randomly sprinkled. I can thin them later. Though I hate doing it.
Right now Iβm kind of just getting things done sloppily and rushed or they wonβt be done at all
