With the proj manager and immediate supervisor leaving, I'm one of the people who'll be taking on 'interim tasks'. Not project managing, but doing some of the smaller stuff (authorisations and approvals in our Testing system).

Proj Manager was making cheerful and hopeful noises about getting me into permanency with the company...but I'm going to backtrack on that. I just don't want to. And if I lose the job...well, I lose the job.

what if...? )

Speaking of work, going down to the offices for the first half of next week, to meet a whole bunch of people I haven't yet met (was last there May 2021). At least it was next week and not this week, because two years ago, it was US Election 2020 and that was a really rough night away from almost all my support groups.

I have some pretty good pics of the lunar eclipse c/o my camera and a sky photography app that enables 100x magnification. They're still blurry because I needed tripod (and an actual lesson in how to use the damn app) but for a phone camera they're damn good!

Parentals are back this morning, and I spent 3.5 hours retrieving them (and their luggage, which this time actually arrived with them) from the airport.

I hate Sydney traffic. I always forget how much until I actually need to drive through it for some reason.

Which means B1 is back in the house. We're going to discuss sorting, boxing, packing, and storage for stuff. Still need to find out how much a portable pod costs to hire for, say, four months...
