    Made some Mango bread over the weekend. I’ve gotta say, it was the BEST thing I’ve ever cooked, and I’m half decent in the kitchen. Not too sweet, perfect density. Just… amazing. Deffo busting that out again for special occasions.

    Power still out. Cat is sleeping in, still in bed. I’ve tried to hide the lack of sleep eye bags with make up. Not sure how to hide the “sleepy brain not working” tho…… today gonna be shitty.

          If it’s still out by tomorrow I would look into the government assistance package that you ma be entitled to for having no power for 1 week.

          "The Victorian and Australian Governments will make available a Prolonged Power Outage Payment to households and small businesses without power for 7 days as a result of last Tuesday’s storms.

          A payment of $1,920 per week will be extended to all eligible households (residential customers) that remain without power as of 12:01am Tuesday 20 February 2024.

          Households who may be eligible will be proactively notified by their distribution business. Funding will be allocated through a payment application process, by which residential customers will be invited to apply for the payment. The payment will be administered by distribution businesses and will help families buy much-needed basic items and find alternative accommodation to get through this difficult period.

          For small businesses (those with a Victorian payroll less than $10 million a year) who are affected, payments of $2,927 per week will be made.

          Payments for households and businesses will be available for up to 3 weeks.

          Distribution businesses will proactively message impacted customers, and publish information on their website on eligibility criteria, as well as information on how these payments will be applied."

        Up in the Dandenongs, with Puffing Billy, which hasn’t been running either.

      That’s tough. Although at this point I’d be hoping it stays off until after midnight so you can get your $1920.

      Fingers crossed for you that it won’t be too much longer.

        Thanks RustyRaven. A friend has lent me a generator so I can get some work done during the day. And grab a hot shower. The things we take for granted…until they are taken away.

      It is very important to step over the gap slowly and deliberately to make sure you don’t accidentally stumble and get trapped between the train and platform. Once you have ascertained you are safely aboard it is then necessary to survey all available seating and standing options in order to select the most advantageous position. It is only once the selection has been made and the most direct route to that location has been calculated that it is appropriate to move further into the carriage.

    Interview was had, I’m not sure I’m the greatest candidate or that I’m so keen on the role tbh - more customer interfacing than I expected. But we’ll see. Think I might inquire about casual roles with some private firms too today

    First fully caffeine free day. I am feeling very flat and lethargic. Miss Meow considers this to be a good thing as it leads to more lap time.

    Anxiety today got me feeling like I’m being hunted by God himself while I write my silly little emails at work.

    Thursday needs to come and go already, so I can move onto whatever’s next.

    Got a presentation that’s turned into ‘due today, do today’. I’ll just have to lock in and get it done. It was nice the hot weather got pushed from the weekend to the middle of this week.

    WTF?! In a few weeks I will have been at this workplace for 25 years. They now want certified proof I’m not illegal. Some of this compliance stuff is bonkers…
