Pre-employment psych test said very high empathy vs. very low tolerance. I'm sorry. Get over it. 🀣 And the cat. Mostly the cat, if I'm honest. Held together with baling twine and No.8 wire. Oh, and would love to #LiberateTheLane.

100%. You'd honestly think he'd never once been fed the way he carried on.

The focus of his single brain cell on making sure he doesn't miss any of his churu. πŸ‡³πŸ‡ΏπŸ±

A large black and white cat, lying on a lot of towels, is wrapped around a copper pipe which runs through the airing cupboard he is in. He has one back leg thrown out towards the camera that looks like a chicken drumstick.

PS. None of those towels are for people. Only cats.

I heard about this from David Slack's newsletter. How awful for you! Sending lots of healing thoughts your way.

In our house, that's known as 'chicken leg' πŸ—

It's the sighing and grunting that cracks me up.

Big stretch *dramatic yawn
Did she see me? *grunt

I love him so much, but he is ridiculous.

The best he got was 'D'ya want a snuggle?'. Which he did. But was grumpy about it πŸ˜‚ cats are so dramatic.

It really isn't. I feel for you! Fingers crossed you can get the good stuff asap, and start feeling more normal.

I also have this fan for the office! And a paper fan for public transport. If you can, HRT was a game changer for me.

A large black and white cat is lying on beige carpet. He is staring vacantly off into the distance.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡ΏπŸ˜Ί Chico Marx reporting in from the trenches of misery and torture. He is visibly wasting away and would like to complain to management.

*Management had just given him dinner, but he was hoping for more treats. This spot is where we do his insulin & BG tests, so maybe a treat will appear.

I'm not sure. But I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out. I definitely know myself better and what makes me happy, which is good. Very few regrets - and most of those are related to my appalling taste in men. Much happier being single and independent with fab friends and whānau.

I also hate hand blowy things. Especially those Dyson style ones that blow droplets in your face 🀒

Why do these AI monstrosities look more human than the real thing?!

Oh, that sounds so rewarding. For both of you!

Fucking hell. That's awful, Pepper. And a very odd take from them generally, when I only ever see you encouraging others with their art and being so supportive. What a miserable little life they must lead. (Or at least I hope so).

Ooh! Somehow the voice isn't how I imagined it, but it looks good. And the rest of the cast look brilliant too.

A friend has been going through a very hard time of late, but today she was laughing and reminiscing about the shenanigans we got up to when we first met, in our first job out of uni. It was lovely to see 😍

I don't know how they remained so composed during their speech. I'd have been a wreck! Winston is playing to his base, which has always been old racists - not too far for them to lean into homophobia and other revolting behaviours 🀒

It's also a very loud game, which he adores...

I looked at that first photo and thought "That looks a lot like Chico Marx" and it is! I gave him catnip and the balls in a big box full of paper the other night. Tiny minds were lost! 🀣

Can he also be my boss please? I could wish for that level of self awareness where I am. Instead we get tales of working til 2:30am and getting up at 6:30am to start again. And all I can think is "Ma'am, this is a bank. You are not saving lives. It's PowerPoint."
