Celebrating the New Year with a bit of a buffet at home, and have said the kids can try and stay up to see the New Year in. My boy, Rory, is falling asleep already and my daughter, Isabelle, is very much awake and asking what time it is every 10 minutes.
Hope you all have a cracking night and an even better 2023. Sending out love and positive vibes to you all X
Has anybody hear from Super J since December? I'll be honest - I was worried all Christmas about him. I couldn't shake that feeling. I hope he's doing well.
The weather is the absolute shits here. It's Jan 17th and it's 9c and rain. We have not one lick of snow. It's crazy. Had a green Christmas ..just didn't feel right at all.
Anyways I will rate myself low until I hear some news from Johnny. 2/10
Might have a chance of a role at Atlassian (the people behind Jira, if anyone knows what that is) that would basically almost double my salary. Very early days, and it's likely nothing will come of it, but still quite exciting. Weird really, because I've not been actively looking for anything due to finding a little bit of happiness in my current role since being assigned a couple of new projects to focus on. They reached out to me on Linkedin, and when I saw the role and salary, it seemed silly not to explore more.
Elsewhere, starting to feel a bit excited about our holiday to the Dominican at the end of May, only because the weeks are absolutely flying by so it should be here in no time at all. My missus is going back to work full time and on day shifts because working back shift is really taking it's toll, even if it is only part time with one night at home. She doesn't finish til around 2am, and doesn't get a lot of sleep because I'm a fat fuck and snore pretty badly, and my son is always crawling in our bed at about 3am, keeping us awake. An opportunity came up for her to switch to days, but only on a full time basis, 8am - 4pm but only one day a week in the office. We discussed it and figured it would be a good move. Her bringing in extra money every month will also be pretty nice and might mean I can get a monthly subscription of Ring doorbell batteries.
Pretty much the only major stress I'm facing right now is my Dad. He went on holiday to Thailand just after Christmas, and he's met a Thai woman over there and fell in love. 2 days after he was back, I saw him sending a WhatsUp message to her saying: "I love you a lot" what a fucking pussy, eh? Anyway, the big concern right now is that she's reeling him in, making him feel like a King before she makes a play for his wealth. She's already told him about her fishing business going bust a few years ago, and that she lost $180,000. She told him she still has the business but the recovery is slow. Me and my sisters have tried telling him to be careful but he's adamant "its not like that" and that he's "not stupid" so I guess only time will tell. He's going back to see her at the end of April as well FFS.
Anyway, all in all, things are pretty good so 8/10.
Fair play to Mr tux chucking his lot up some Thai bird half his age. Reckon there's a decent chance tucker will have a little half brother or sister who bears a striking resemblance to James Wattana in the next year.

Hey Tucker, I've never asked much of you in all my years on the soapbox. But I urge you to encourage your dad to pursue his dream & to bring her over yours for dinner so we can see her on the ring doorbell. Only after the soapbox has had a detailed look can you truly make a judgement call.
To be fair, a fishing business in Thailand sounds like a sound investment; I say encourage your dad to pursue this great opportunity with his new love.
