Not really a make-or-break thing, but I was very amused yesterday....so, that volunteer position with the city that I was talking about a little while back: - I applied for the position--again, a volunteer position on a city committee--sometime last year - They emailed me in March, so long after I'd applied I had forgotten that I even applied, to say they'd interview at a later date - They interviewed me (Zoom) on June 23 - They emailed me yesterday to tell me that.... - City Council votes on their recommendations on August 24 and they'll be in touch after that date No freaking wonder city government never gets anything done

In the grand scheme of things it is a pretty minor and if I'm honest completely my own fault for not checking sooner, but back in April when the final two New Counter Measures stories were released Big Finish attached a rather nifty bundle - Who Killed Toby Kinsella? Series 1 and 2 of New Counter Measures, The Hollow King, The Movellan Manoeuvre and The Dalek Gambit...all for £55 (Download), which was a big saving of almost £30. I love a bargain, so I eagerly earmarked it for buying this very week, stupidly assuming the bundle would be there for a while.
Notice the use of past tense. Checked this morning and the bundle and the £30 saving has long since flown out of the Post Office Tower window.
Never has the phrase "you snooze, you lose" been more apt..🤦♂️

Finally got my copy of Pulp Cthulhu in the post! Safe to say, I’m a happy bunny. Have to say I’m looking forward to running this when civilisation finally stops burning.

O.M.F.G :-( Someone in my work place was tested yesterday. Results in tomorrow - I have almost daily dealings with him (not close up 1 on 1 but he does enter our particular work room). If it's positive, we are all basically going to be sent home immediately with no warning.. There has been no new cases officially in my hometown for 15 days.. GGRRRR :-( Well. The person in question just literally walked past me at my work station.. Lovely communication to let everyone know (who he is in regular contact with) that he has been cleared. GGRRR

Three job rejection emails today, including the one that I interviewed 3x for. Not in the greatest mood today.

Well, having sat at the other end before, inviting you in 3x means they were really interested in you and you might only have lost against a single contender who had just one little thing that fitted better. It can be really hard to make decisions like these. On the other hand, I once also was sure I had the job since I knew that only 3 people, including me, had made the last cut. Sadly I missed out against someone who had just a bit more experience in one little field. And the job I have now... I applied there 4 times over the period of one year and finally they had enough and gave in. It was pretty clear I would not go away that easily. All I wanted to say- chin up. Never give up. Never give in.

Minor, but funny all the same. I discovered, on my way home yesterday evening, that the loudspeaker at the station hasn't been maintained in a while. It's got a familiar scratching, grating, heavily metallic quality to its announcements.
First words that popped to mind were: Oh, okay. I surrender.

Tonight I go to our storage shed, fill up the car with 1 more full load of the real light stuff (still not cleared to lift heavy items after 8 months).. Then bro in law goes with us again tomorrow with the trailer, load up then officially close off the shed once and for all. We have had it longer than our lil boy has been alive/around/kicking around.. I did some approximate sums on what it cost to have that.. OUCH. On the plus side, 1 less deduction coming out of my credit card !

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

On the plus side, getting to interview 3 times must mean that you are getting something right. Something I do when I haven’t gotten a job I’ve applied for or wanted is to ring for feedback on my application or interview so that I can do better next time. Something is going to come up for you soon, though.

My copy of Stranded arrived... both of them It seems I bought the first separately, then bought the bundle at a later date. Does the site not notify you if you're re-buying something through a bundle?

Does the site not notify you if you're re-buying something through a bundle? In a word..no. The website treats bundles as a separate entity to a CD purchase, hence the reason you've ended up with two copies of Stranded and nothing flagging up in the warehouse / Sales to say you duplicated. Might be worth an email to Big Finish towers, but probably your best bet is to hit Ebay and recoup your losses.

My ex has made it a matter of public record that he is a big piece of crap. He sent a motion to the court (countering mine trying to get him to stick to our divorce agreement) that he wants a judge to absolve him of all responsibilities to our daughter because she is trans. And that I should pay his attorney fees to do it.

I really hope you live in a State where the judge just laughs as requests like these.

After the few years we have known each other online, I know that you do not deserve this kind of pain. Please stay strong, and know that we are here to support you in anyway we can. Much love to you guys.
