After weeks of confusion, I got confirmation today that I have been offered a late entry commission into the Royal Corp of Signals! It took me 20 years to smash through every jnr and snr non commissioned rank, now I get to see what's on the other side of the velvet rope (surprise, it's more work!)

Tomorrow (hopefully) I'll find out if I have been selected for my career defining promotion. I have one shot at it, and if I get turned down that's that. I. AM. SHITTING. MYSELF.

I have so much to do that my brain has hit the point where I can't do any of it, like a total overload to the point where I'm sitting at my desk staring into space just waiting for it all to come crashing down around me

Bed - Check Bones - Check Tree - Check Presents - Check Dilly dog is ready for the Christmas hols

I cannot wait until the Christmas break. Ive been doing the work of a 3-6 person team for 4 months now and it's killing me, being told by your boss that you're 'smashing it' and 'its going to look good on your report' doesn't abate the desire to jump head first out of the closed office window

Had to take this nervous girl to the vets today, she had a wart on her back that had become detached and the area around it had swollen up. She's fine, just a course of anti inflammatories, she has been told to cut down on the treats because apparently 9.8kg is a bit heavy for her size 🥲

Google news notifications for the football are driving me up the pole! You can either: 1. Turn off all sports notifications, which I don't want to do. Or 2. Leave notifications on, and get 10 plus messages on match day for every pigging game being played

Oh look, there goes my slush fund!

New aging achievement unlocked, I now need glasses to read 🤷

I mean, Level 42 might not be everyone's thing but this seems excessive

Me - okay, he's a complete list of kit, personal and training we will need to do this task. Boss - We won't get any of that, what are our options? Me - I mean we could just go for an early lunch and forget the whole thing?

Cannot wait to get this week behind me, could not have gone worse

This is Ivy, our ex breeding rescue doggo who went from shivering wreck to fuss demanding diva in two short years. Last night, she demanded to go downstairs to survey her empire (garden) twice, once at 2am and again at 4am. Consequencially her loyal subject (me) got bugger all sleep 😴

Honestly getting tied up in knots trying to sort out stuff at work, all because people have given to interpretting policy to suit their own goals 🤦🤦🤦🤦 Anyway, here's Wonderwall

Watching Mr Loverman, absolutely brilliant!
