Not Stoked.

Yeah it’s fucked. There was some box in my fridge, picked it up and it was a ‘couples sex kit’.

Was on my receipt that I had to claim back on expenses even though it said voided since I didn’t actually use it. My boss thought it was funny thankfully.

That’s sick, what’s your job?

Why was it in the fridge?
Have I been doing it wrong?

Graphics for live tele, think football clocks, formations, red cards, that sort of thing.

It’s a specialist bit of software called vizrt, means you can make graphics on the fly and render stuff live to air. Ended up getting in to it by accident after a short stint as an editor, always like travelling to decent events !

Honestly there’s so much freelance work out there at the moment, experienced ops for broadcasts are getting harder to book !

Just got off a zoom call/interview with a bloke who told me almost instantly that I’m overqualified for the job, their work isn’t that great and I’d be bored. The guy hadn’t really looked at a lot of my work, just skimming over the portfolio in front of me - he seemed to be impressed, but pretty much came out with that clanger in the first 2 mintues. Bit annoyed as I was holding out for this one.

This has been a common theme for me since I started my career, bah.

Such a strange approach not wanting someone because they’re too good. I guess they do things in long winded, backwards, workaround ways and dont wanna expose how much they’re cowboys.

You should make a B-grade portfolio and see how it goes down haha

Might have to swap out the dildo helicopters I have in there then.

In all seriousness, I never claim to have all the answers, but I’m shit hot with tons of experience in diverse/related fields and have a low threshold for bullshit at the moment. TBH, I feel like I could just go in to an interview and say, “Fuck you! I’m here! Give me the job and then we fly off in anti-gravity suits and do some cosmic spacefucking!” because I am so so so bored of the mutual rimjobbing I have to put up with applying for jobs while lying through my teeth at the best of times yabbering on NFTs, crypto, motion design for apps, blahblahblah.

Saturday night at the emergency vets as the cat blasted blood up the wall out of her back end.

My local vets used to have out of hours emergency cover. Now they refer you to a chain called Vets Now who operate out of hours surgeries that charge about 4 times as much, in the knowledge that you often have no other choice. If I didn’t have insurance I’d have been seriously ripped off on the 3-4 times my dogs have had to go there

Hope your cats alright. We had to take one of ours once she was struggling to pass urine and was passing blood. In the end we rehomed her somewhere there wouldn’t be children or other animals because she was just really anxious all the time.

Also I was changing the litter tray yesterday, I walk outside and the tray snaps in my hand sending cat litter and turds all over the driveway.

Cheers. They seem to think its just inflammation and not infecrion. They said it might be stress related but not much has changed at home, apart from a bezerk 5 year old constantly raging around the house.

This happened to my sister in law’s cat when her kid was born… When the kid learned to crawl/walk she used to terrorise the cat. One day cat just went fuck this and scratched the fuck out of kids face. Kid doesn’t fuck with the cat any more and cat stopped pissing blood right away.

Maybe you could organise a battle.

But in all seriousness, hope cat is alright. Sucks when pets get sick.

Fatcat was pissing blood the other day. It was just that hes fat. Got some fancy food and paid £90 to the vet and hes stopped

Iv literally never seen my cat piss.

One of ours got bladder stones and pissed a few drops of blood in the bathtub as her way to tell us something was wrong.

I hope all your pets are ok.
