      That sucks! The way you speak about Mickey and pets in general, I can’t think of anyone better suited for the role. What more could they possibly want?! I know it might not help much to hear this now, but please keep trying and don’t give up.

      Your chance will come, lovely. It will. And when it does you are going to be incredible at it.

      You can hide away and lick your wounds for a day or two but we’re not going to let you wallow. ❤️

    I got a win today. I found out that there was illegal reselling of one of our vendors products online at multiple legitimate retailers.

    Emailed director. Director rang vendor slt. Vendor product manager is going to contact the major retailers to take down the ads asap.

    Simon gets a fucking victory.

    I spent all afternoon and evening weeping lol, I think I have more tears to weep. Soon enough I’ll get back on the job hunting wagon and send out apps, but for now I shall wallow and distract myself with games.

      Yes, I leave Melbcat with a wrapped hot water bottle on cold days and would either have cooling run well before (or left on low if I’ll be out for long) on a hot day.

      I’d worry about overheating at her age and you want your pet to be comfortable.

    My little dog has been the bestest dog this past week. Considering he gets excited and starts jumping on us if he hasn’t seen us in 5 minutes he’s been remarkably calm and delicate with the man.

    YL came home from holidays last night and he was happy to see her. I had to tell her to keep the excitables down. It’s like he’s gone into senior mode (the dog that is).

    Edit: also playing Whamageddon this year. Added Mariah as well, so we have to avoid the original versions of Last Christmas and All I Want For Christmas, respectively.

      Love hearing about this!! I love seeing the different people at trivia from the fanatics to the people just using it as an excuse to drink. A quiz host once told me about doing a corporate event for a lawyer firm and it was one of the most soul draining experiences of her life

        It’s interesting seeing the difference in teams as well. The team that usually wins at my regular spot is a about 8 people from one family so they have a whole range of general knowledge to draw from
