I still have a few things to wrap up before New Job starts, but everything just keeps being delayed. Not by my fault. I need to wrap up some private courses, and won't be able to do that before I need to start the new job. I don't think it will be possible to organise a translators group meetup to discuss our texts in time either. Sigh. At least I finally got a text to proofread that I was supposed to get months ago today, so I will be able to finish proofreading that one (but won't be getting another one for a few weeks into New Job, so cannot say the whole project will be finished by the deadline I wanted). Ah, it’s really annoying when this happens. Sorry you have to sort out everything simultaneously. All because other people bring about the delays. Annoying. Good luck with everything! How are you doing @felice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got the email that the translators group meetup is supposed to take place after I start the new job - on the day I am already supposed to teach the last private class (that I had hoped would be finished by then ...). Oh well, not going to be able to attend that, I suppose. The New Job people don't call me or message me that my contract is ready either. Now I am supposed to be preparing the lesson for today's private course, but it is boring because this student is ... boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, pretty good. Everything is pretty quiet here, except when the roaming neighbourhood cat decides to saunter through our cat's territory and provoke a screaming match. Work is a bit too quiet, but fluctuations are normal there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 Allow me to update y’all on the latest developments of the doggy drama. Prince William went back to the vet again this afternoon. He got his stitches removed and the vet cleared as much pus as he could from the wounds that are still leaking. There’s still a little sachet of pus on the side of his face, apparently lots of tissue died where he was bitten. This dead goo has collected under his skin and is clearing through his raw wounds (these are all surface ones, the deeper bites are healed). He must take another round of antibiotics as well as probiotics to maintain his gut health, and we will take him back for a third check-up in 10ish days. On the social side of the doggy drama, we are having the Chancellor’s dog trainer come over on Monday. She’ll see what we can do to stabilize the situation and have them under control. On the long run, PW can’t live completely isolated in the house and the garage and only see the sunlight for his morning and evening walk. We want to be able to let him out on the terrace again and have them coexist in the garden at least while supervised. I don’t think we’ll ever leave them alone unsupervised after what happened. So we agreed that she’d come over a couple times (hopefully we can make progress in 2-3 visits as these doggy trainer house calls are awfully expensive) and see what we can make of the situation. For that time the Chancellor won’t be attending his group course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Best wishes for PW's recovery. I am more and more nervous about the new job - officially starting on Tuesday, but my mind is actually already in the middle of it all. This morning we had a terrible thunderstorm and now it is pouring again. End of summer, booooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today is the hottest day of the summer here, we have 36C, the heat is dizzying. It’s supposed to cool down tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Hi all! How is everybody? How is the new job treating you, @Buckwheat? How are mini sith 1 and 2, @Jen'ari? Are you back at uni yet, @First of My Name? Is work still quiet, @felice? How is life, @The BlackBear? I’m overall calm today. My productivity level is converging to zero but at least I’m not overly anxious. That feels nice so I don’t even mind too much that I pissed off at least three people today.

You mean one that didn't have much impressive thunder and lightning? Thunderstorms are great, as long as you don't have to be outside during them.

Lurking as per usual Moving in with my partner (who has just bought a flat) in a few weeks, so that's pretty exciting.

Pretty much counting my lucky stars, no one in my family or friend group has had a run in with the virus. 4 hours ago, RhaenysBee said: That feels nice so I don’t even mind too much that I pissed off at least three people today.

Awww that sounds great, I’m really happy for you! Hope you guys love the new place too. Waiting for stuff to happen and take a positive turn, yeah, same here. So far it appears to be the same though a few friends have been sick. It’s probably not Covid as they recovered quickly but they weren’t tested, so who knows. Maybe, I don’t know anything anymore.

Congratulations on that important step. New job is tiring, even though I didn't even have the most demanding days yet (Monday especially).

Buckwheat Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Whew, I am so happy it is weekend. New job is nice, but so exhausting. I was almost mistaken for one of the students yesterday by a coworker. I ... will take this as a compliment, I suppose? But to be fair, I was wearing a mask.
