To my surprise even to myself I applied for a new job with more money and am being interviewed. I'm in a union so it's likely I'll get it. I surprised myself for even applying, but despite the fact I like the role I'm in now, I don't like the way it's structured, the cliquey behaviour of the other staff towards me, and how I'm the only one expected to do other people's work routinely as well as my own. If I don't end up accepting the new job I'm going to do workload grievances until things at my current position are corrected.

Also my dog needed very expensive dental surgery week before last so I'm super broke which is really hard. And my SO is a petty shit who ruins my every day somehow pretty much always. And I work two jobs so I have extremely little free time and am always exhausted.

Good things: new Nick Cave album coming out, beautiful snow for the last two days (I like a good spring snowy period), going to see my friend for coffee this weekend, and maybe I'll take myself on a date to the local greenhouse since it's free and read poetry for an hour and escape a little.
