Musk/Irish job losses

Musk really is the lowest of the low. Laying off staff in Ireland by email. Locking them out of offices today. Fucking disgraceful behaviour. I'm ambivalent about twitter, I think that when it's good it's ACE but when it's bad it's a bloody cesspit. But nobody deserves to lose their job this way.

Peri-menopause is fun.

Physical health/money

In other news, I got a consultant appointment for my shoulders this week. They've been in bits fer years. But I spent (to me) an obscene amount of money on physio since May. Consultant confirms I am no longer in need of surgery or any other intervention.
