I'm finally near the end of my interminable day of cleaning ahead of tomorrow's rental inspection. The house is gleaming. I'm exhausted and trying not to get too negative about the indignity of renting in the current market and the inevitable rent increase notice in a month's time and urgh.

I changed my LinkedIn profile yesterday and set up alerts, and already got a hit - but it seems to be more of what depressed me at my old job, just being on the other side of it (in fact worse, because I have to be the bad guy and shoulder all the responsibility).

Could maybe hack it if it was a short term contract to build towards better roles, but full time permanent would kill what's left of my soul. I think I've seen this job advertised a few months ago anyway so there's another red flag if the other guy left so quickly.

Luckily I know someone who worked in a very similar role at the same org recently, so I shall get some inside info. See if I could do a hit and run; I do need the experience in local government and the cash would be good too before I think about moving interstate.

trying to find large plastic shaker bottles (like these) that are not sold by amazon. (Reason: Sick of barkeepers friend clumping)

I have not found them thus far but I have found a place that will sell me a 3kg tin of nacho cheese and one that will sell me a box of replacement plastic grinder tops for pepper mills.
