Ohhh fuckity.
Boss: How do you feel you’re going?
Me: I’m planning on resigning in 2 weeks.
Boss: … can you not?
you: Sure if you change [x, y, z that’s making you leave]!
He’s going to discuss with the directors about sidestepping me into another role, I’m not well suited for the one my original role grew into. I’ll see what they offer, but I think it’ll be adios for me.
Hope it works out well whichever way it goes 🤗
Working from home feels like a rest after such a big weekend. I want to focus though so I can work on other things the rest of this week
Turd burgers! Ripped the stocking I bought an hour ago
Stockings suck. I gave them all to a mate of mine to practise cricket on the clothes line.
They’re also good for tying plants up with
Oh so true! My childhood memories involve a back garden with various skin coloured pantyhose tying plants to stakes. I’d forgotten all about it.
Here’s the recipe for Golden Syrup pudding
Got no argument on the recipie - it’s very similar to the one I use. But. They left a lot out in terms of method. Feel free to ignore this if you already know the details.
too much information
Where it says ‘cover with baking paper’ - it means butter the paper well, put a finger width pleat in that cover paper, then add a similarly pleated sheet of tinfoil on top and tie around just under the rim of the pudding basin with string - there’s a reason pudding basins have a substantial rim. It’s a good idea to make a handle by tying the ends of the string together over the top - this greatly eases removing the pudding from the water later without burned fingies. The pleat prevents the pudding from exploding and covering the kitchen with hot golden syrup. Ask me how I know. No don’t. It’s embarrassing. And I had guests over at the time.
Set a timer to check for more boiling water every 15 mins - and ONLY add water that’s freshly boiling from the kettle. I like using a stockpot rather than a saucepan - and use a shallow trivet on the bottom under the basin for better water circulation.
Some very good points there. I can only go on what my Nana used to do and what I remember. Yes, she used a trivet and a stockpot. I think she used brown paper for the top. She also wrapped the pudding bowl in calico (pudding cloth) like you do for boiled pudding because it’s easier to get out of the boiling water. Also I’m sure she added a small amount of ginger powder.
Ginger powder sounds wunnderful. Yep you can do a full body wrap of the basin with the knot on top, but string only also works. Any paper (not newspaper) will work for the cover if greased up with butter. Baking paper doesn’t need greasing so much.

I think RR forgot to mention the custard with that pudding.
Isn’t custard just a given?
In my household it is.
Something to get rid of the hayfever and to sleep well tonight.

Friend said let’s meet at 1. I ask her if she’s sure. She says yes. It’s 1:46 and I’m still waiting for her. I knew I should’ve arrived at 2. She waited a million years for a bus so she didn’t have to walk, when she could’ve walked. Grr.
Does she wear tight/fashionable/high heeled shoes? Was I wearing such, I’d wait a million years for a bus rather than walk and cripple myself. If, on the other hand, she wears comfy shoes - that’s a different dynamic.
She’s wearing sneakers right now. Just too “lazy” to walk. I hate calling people lazy but she takes pride in it.
i have fam who don’t call it lazy, they think they are being smart
People who take pride in being lazy don’t make good friends.
I’m assuming she’s just arrived if you know she’s wearing sneakers.
Does that mean you’re going to spend time with her then?
I had to step away from a friendship yesterday for a similar reason.
It feels bad today, but I’m glad I did it because I don’t want to be the kind of person who with that behaviour.
This person doesn’t value your time and that’s a pretty big red flag.
late 🤨
i detest lateness when it is a choice that person makes
She goes to sleep anywhere between 1 and 6am and wakes up maybe 12pm. I asked her if 1 was okay and she said yes. Clearly it wasn’t!
Did she have the courtesy to say that she’ll be late?
Think it’s a bit rude as well making you wait due to walking/bus thing.
Yep she said she was still in bed when I arrived.
“Another time, then”
Meeting her anyway sends the signal that you’re fine with being such a low priority in her world. And she’ll have no incentive to alter her behaviour next time.
100% agree with this.
That would be a won’t meet ever again for me
omg
Hm still not great.
Hopefully it’s not a consistent thing that happens all the time.
It is but this is the worst it has been. I’m not waiting anymore
Since you’re out already treat yourself out to something?
I am a sometimes late person (a trait I don’t really like but actively trying to improve) but being THAT late is insulting. You have to value other people’s time.
I’ve been complimented on my mug today.
Gave me a nice little laugh.
Show mug!!
Awesome!
oh gees, I thought you meant your face 😹
Haha, me too!
Haha oh trust me. Nothing worth complimenting on my face.
What was the mug?
It’s just down below in my reply to MeanElevator.
It’s a Cookie Monster mug I got ages ago.
Ooh I see it now! :D
OK. I might do some tv and movie stuff . I just look at random stuff or maybe watch what other people talk about.
The Package aka The Pakige with Gene Hackman. Before Die Hard there was The Package but without the jokes or impressive action scenes. 2 hobbits.
All Is Lost. If self reliance really was a thing then there would no such thing as outside people or events messing up life. Robert Redford was amazing in this.
3.5 hobbits just to watch RR
kevin can go fuck himself
I am reminded of Henry Miller writing of another author, the author writing of a man cut in slices, different aspects of the man and their life written as separate stories. Much like his nexus trilogy. Maybe he was talking about himself, eh.
or the verve singing their bittersweet symphony , being a million different people each day
edgy brave smart woman sick of stupid men tries to fight the system
but really, how many chances do stupid abusive men deserve? dumping them is not giving up, it’s being real and cutting losses
this show had real potential, wasn’t renewed
I liked Kevin Can Fuck Himself, it shows a really interesting perspective. I haven’t watched the type of show they’re making fun of in a long time - is Kevin exaggerated or are sitcom husbands really that bad?
modern sitcom husbands aren’t that bad, they are usually “lads” and in the marriage are still part of a team, kevin is a lying selfish prick
Why dis wind sooo cool on such a lovely day?
Been asked like 3 x if I’m going riding, but I have my sooky pants on.
Digging holes…filling holes.

Had a really helpful session with the psych today. Talked a lot about why I am struggling to let go of stress and work and gave me some good exercises to help getting some structure back and some boundaries (for me). I picked out this time. She is kind but not afraid to suggest stuff - which is good. Practical.
Step one. Back to decent bedtimes. Night all. ♥️
Night night. Sleep well
Goodnight ❤️
I have realised that my enthusiasm level for going to work is closely correlated to how well I have done food prep.
yay, today is Covid vaccine day 😬
Pearl Jam absolute rocked last night.
Eddie is such a treasure.
Was amazing!
Not a single bad song. Even the new stuff sounded good
It was soooo wholesome. Seriously. I loved the shoutouts, the relating to the audience. Just 10/10.
I had plenty of room and jumped around to my heart’s delight. Could not have asked for more.
Yellow Ledbetter!
And rocking in the free world!!!
I’ve never been so seedy in my life
Well, Spring is a great time to be seedy. You will grow and flower in no time.
Two day hangover? Ouchies.
