past midnight check-in

 i managed to get two and a half hours of paid work done today, and just finished them a few minutes ago.

the rest of the day was dedicated to technical interviews, the first took six and a half hours and the second was really... not good. both of the interviewers want to follow up.

tomorrow morning, early, i have another full day of interviews.

i'm exhausted.

i'm really deep into six day weeks right now.

on friday night we were picked up by cousins for dinner, and it was really excellent :)

shabbat morning started nicely - i managed to convince mr smear to walk to the port with me and we met up with nystire and family and tahoma, the morning was pretty good until a last-minute incident and mr smear and i had a walk home that was so unpleasant that i really don't think i'm ever going to forget it.

it's really tough navigating him being six and his world being upside down and needing extra understanding, and him continuing to display behaviours that we've been struggling to deal with for years.

urchin paid us a visit in the afternoon and then the mongoose and his partner, we ended up taking quite a walk which was mostly great but at some point became too much for gd.

...

we have a washing machine! and also, a bunch of gd's clothing that's been destroyed by the professional laundry service we had to use until the technician finally came today.

...

we met our lawyer the other day, although we spent most of our time in her home office playing with her very jumpy, very loving pit-bull.

...

these past two weeks have been ridiculous. my telephone doesn't stop ringing and it's giving me anxiety.

i really hope i get an exciting offer soon.
